Baptisms at Peniel Baptist Church

The water heater didn't work so they had to heat up water and put into the baptismal tank. Yes, the water was cold!



Here is Alan's dad getting baptised! God used the kidnapping to bring Alan's dad to Himself.



Here is Alan, the boy that was kidnapped, tortured and then escaped!




This is what happens when you are in the car too long!!

Party!

Natalie turned 16 this past week! We invited the youth to Fun Center where they enjoyed bowling, ice skating and two indoor rides! Then they came to our house for pizza and video games. They all had a wonderful time!

Basketball Hoop!

Basketball has been apart of my life since I was nine. I started to love the game by shooting out on a hoop that was attached to our garage. All three of our kids have played basketball as well. We finally got a hoop so that we can enjoy the sport even more--at home!! This was Natalie's sixteenth bday present. I know it seems strange to get a girl this, but believe me, we gals here love our bball!!

Surprise Birthday Party!

Yesterday the church had a surprise birthday party for Sam!!! After the service folks hung around and ate a wonderful meal, cake and coffee! I wasn't able to take but a couple of photos since I was helping serve. We had a wonderful day! We had 87 in attendance and Maribel understood salvation and accepted Christ! Sam had the privilege of walking her through the gospel. What a perfect way to celebrate your birthday!

Two Down, One to Go!

Nicole and Jennifer with her new puppy!

We are still doing puppies!!

Our puppies are now six weeks old! Hard to believe. We gave away our the first one today. Boo hoo. There were a few tears. We gave her to a wonderful family that will love her just as much as my girls do. We have two more to give away and yes, I know we are crazy, we are keeping the tan one. We have named her Cinnamon and Nicole really wanted us to keep her since she was born. She was the runt but she has caught up! I'm ready for us to be out of the puppy stage but I know we have a whole puppy year ahead of us and then some! Our girls have really enjoyed the whole adventure. We all agreed that this was the last batch of puppies. Poor Sasha doesn't know what awaits her!!

Puppies!

Here's a recent picture of our puppies! They sure are cute and my girls love having them around! We have families that are interested in taking them so hopefully we won't be stuck with too many of them!!

Nicole turned 9!!

This past Saturday our youngest daughter Nicole turned 9!! She really wanted a sleepover in the tent so we set up our eight man tent in the livingroom. Nicole thought she was in heaven! Our house was filled with lots of giggles. Nicole enjoyed her special meal of chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese, brownies and icecream!
