instafriday!!!

Time for instafriday!!! We had a fun week!! The best part was my first born son came for a visit from up in MD, and his wonderful girlfriend came as well!! The Lord is writing a beautiful courtship story with them!! We even went on a "double date" together!!! I am so thankful for the good gifts the Lord blesses our lives with!! Hope your looking for all the good gifts He gives you each day!!

ok, here's the week in iphone pics!!!

started the week with making caramel apples!

Mmmmmmmm!!!!

I think Jeremiah is enjoying his a little!!

I have been trying to get a pic of this cats teal eyes, but this is all he would give me!

.......and like i said, a happy momma to have Caleb home ( with hat on)

I think his twin is too!

and here is my dad with 4 of his grandchildren!

 

 this is the children's playhouse, Josh waters the grass everyday!!!

I saw these Fan Potatoes on a Pinterest board and made them! yum!

this was a first!!! going on a double date with our son, Caleb and his wonderful gal, Kristen!!

I took a picture of this verse Friday morning.

One of the purposes of our blog is to share Christ,

to tell friends that He came to earth, lived a sinless life,

died for sinners and rose again from the grave!

Any who will call upon His name and repent of

their sin can be saved and given a home in heaven!

Have you?

Have a great weekend!!

thank you for stopping by!!

a double date!!!

I never really thought about what it would be like.....going on a "double date" with your child and his very special someone!!! But last night it happened! Terry and  I went out with Caleb and Kristen! I am continually faced with this "season" of life we are in, its wonderfully exciting, yet I think I missed reading a book about preparing for the transition!! I wonder if there even is one?? We had a great time!! The little MD chic came all the way to OKC to take us to a restaurant that I did not know exsisted in OKC!! As we got to the general area where this little place was, I think Caleb was a bit skeptical (I was wondering too) of what had his little girl got us into......but like she pointed out, "have I ever led you astray with a restaurant choice yet?" And when we drove up and proceeded to get "in-line" that extended out the front door, I think we were at a "hot" place of fine picnic table dinning in the beautiful OKC night!! Are yall curious of the place??????    I really would like to go back there sometime!

Big Truck Taco

(off of 23rd street in OKC!)

My dad and Shirley treated the other children to pizza, so they had a good time too with them while we were gone!!!

                                                         do you know what those words mean????
                                                                                  "loving couple"

                                                                                    in Spanish!!

after dinner, we headed to Bricktown to

Starbucks!!

after Starbucks we had to go head over to

Bass Pro, because

Kristen had never been in one!!

She did not believe us when we told her

the animals on display were real stuffed taxidermy

animals! She did not like the place after that!!

(all the dead animals)

A great night of fellowship! We talked about homeschooling, Caleb's work in MD, babies, a profound and insightful project Kristen is working on, family and how God's Sovereignty is so amazing! I have to say I am proud of them both, and thankful for the Lord and his beautiful mercies to bring them together!!

................and make sure you go on  a"double date" with your child ASAP!!!

house building......

Today Daniel poured the concrete in his walls!!! Yay!! Sooooo we all went out to "help" work and cook burgers out in the woods! It never gets old doing stuff together as a family! Even my dad and Shirley were here as well as Dave, Kate, Lil' Mavie and baby Ahlgren due in Dec.! Good times with very special people! I am blessed to have all the children here and Caleb's wonderful girl, Kristen!!

                                                               they got their "own" things going on!!! Ha!!!               

                                                                      Mavie and Mercy!!

Happy Tuesday!!!!

yay!!

They are here!!! Caleb and Kristen came for a visit!!! Also my dad and Shirley are here too!!! So I guess its kinda like a party!! It feels good to have all 12  children home! They are so grown up as I look around! Adults!!! Their own lives, own journeys! Well, its wonderful the Lord gives grace to momma's hearts!

Caleb came with a purpose to work on his house to at least make it where the elements will not mess all what he has put into it and hopefully he will have his walls all ready for concrete by the end of the week or early next week! Daniel is pouring the concrete in his walls tomorrow so a busy day ahead!! And Kristen will be Supervisor!! :) Fun times!!

Hope your Monday is amazing!!!
