The Past Month

So much has happened since I last posted, I don't know where to start! :)  There has been birthdays, youth activities, traveling, baptisms, and so much more! I love the life that the Lord has given to me!

Me and Beth had the opportunity to spend a week at our grandparents. We were able to see cousins, aunts, and uncles, and laugh and have fun!

                                   I was glad to be able to go and see Grandpa at his carlot.

           And we were so happy to be able to see our younger cousins, Kaylie and Kiara! We were laughing and giggling the whole time with them. (and also planning their trip of when they are going to come up and see us) :)

    We were also able to go to our friend's Graduation. It was so fun to see her and her family! I enjoyed taking pictures during her ceremony. She is so sweet and I'm glad I was able to be apart of her Graduation!


     Last Saturday we had a youth activity. All of us teens went bowling. There were six teen girls and three adults. And.......I beat Josh in bowling!!!  Of course, that was my praise in Sunday School! (I just had to rub it in a little) :)

    Sunday was an amazing day! My Dad preached an awesome message Sunday Morning, and we were able to see one of the teen girls accept Christ as her Savior!  We also started our bus route two weeks ago and on the first Sunday we had ten kids ride! Our van is a 15 passenger van, so please pray for the Lord to provide us with a bus soon!

    I am so thankful for my family, friends, and church family! The Lord is really working in our church! I can't wait to see what else He has in store!

Callie Grace's Birthday

My sweet sister is now 6! I love this spunky, fun little girl so much! Today for her birthday she wanted to have a tea party and for dinner she wanted to have a picnic in the woods by our house. (I'll post pictures of that later)  I had so much fun taking her birthday pictures. It was harder than I thought trying to get her to smile! The bugs were really bad in the flowers and she didn't really care for that! :)

In late April to the beginning of May, we have beautiful wildflowers everywhere, and I thought that would be a perfect spot to take her pictures. (Having little siblings is great for practicing photography too!)

   I love it how the flowers are mostly yellow with a few white ones spread throughout it!  I also love the look on Callie's face in the picture above! She was SO excited to smell all the flowers! ;)

                               Don't you just love her smile with her two missing front teeth?

                             I think this one is my favorite! I like how the sun is shining on her hair!

        It was funny trying to get her to blow the dandelion. She kept putting her lips really weird. And me and mom were trying to show her how to blow. She was getting the giggles because she couldn't get it! ;)

                   I can't believe you are already six Callie! You are such a pretty girl! I love you more than words can say!
