Heartbreak on Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh the heartbreak... it's to hard to even grasp... one of our close friends had to say goodbye to their little angel yesterday....  his 3 short months on earth made a big impact on his 5 siblings... now he went to meet his maker and I'm sure it was a great reunion in the sky....our dear friend lost her mom as a little girl to cancer... she lost her brother when she was a young teenager....and said good bye to her dad alittle over a year ago.....

they where at a family gathering and when they got there little Luke was sleeping so she put him on the bed and about 20 minutes later one of Elmer's nieces came and she ask her to go see if Luke is awake that she heard him cry and when her niece got to him he was already gray, and they said there's no way she heard him cry but there was something telling Hannah to go to her baby....they called 911 and all the way into the hospital they where working on him but his time here on earth was over.. Jesus came and took him home,,, she said in the hospital she was aloud to hold him as long as she wanted to they even brought her a rocker to sit on..  there is always something to be thankful for even in the midst of our grieving.... but oh the sorrow of handing over his body and walking out of the hospital with  empty arms... we no God has a plan in all this...


We have already seen him at work and I no we will continue to...  On Thursday evening when we said our Goodbyes... Hannah asked Mart and I to think of her when we are up feeding our babies, I woke up twice with Austin and she was the only thing I could think of and I just asked God to be with her.... and then Friday evening when we where at the viewing Hannah asked me how I slept, bless her heart even in her grief thinking of others... and I asked her how her nite was and she said she couldn't sleep but then all of a sudden she just felt a Peace come over her and then she could rest.. I told her I was up around 2 with Austin and she said that's right when she was felt at peace and then when I shared with mart she said she was up at that time to.....  AMAZING...

please Join us in Prayer for Hannah and her husband and their 5 children..... just another reminder our days on this earth are numbered and this is not our eternity.....

the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away...Blessed be the name of the Lord!!!!!!

Our November Birthday girl!!!!!

She is our firstborn!!!!  our lover of life, an out doors girl, loves a party, is the leader of her sisters...she is a big help around the house, that is when she wants to,!!!!  she is a hard worker at school.. she's not one that her grades come easy so she works hard for every grade and we are so proud of her.... she even earned an Eday this quarter...and to think our oldest turned 10 kinda scared me... where did those 10 years go.....we love you girl... keep living for Jesus...

 Her party at school.. she wanted ice cream with carmel, pretzels, tea, and cookies... she was all smiles...  then she  had a night out with Daddy and I... she choose Olive Garden to eat, and Target to get her gift..we had given her an American doll last summer that we got at the garden party we went to.. plus she got a pony to..  so we gave her 20 dollars to spend an she could not decide but finally she decided on a few little things and a nail polish kit!!!!!  hope you had a happy one!!!!!

 we got her sisters to join us alittle then they had to go back to their class....

We also had to little birthday boys in October... they turned 3 and 4...  they are the life of the party right now and I was sad I didn't get any pictures.. we did a photo shoot with Lydia and I'm hoping to get a hold of them and put them on the blog...




We sure had some beautiful fall weather the last couple weeks... but I think it's getting alittle colder I can hear the wind blowing outside right now... and the leaves really came down this last week... It seems later this year for some reason....we also had a niece getting married this week my hubbies oldest niece got married and what a fun wedding, It's always a lot of work but so much fun to make their day special.. so to say we had a crazy week would be an understatement... getting ready Monday, wedding Tuesday, cleanup Wednesday, and doctors apt Thursday, well lets just say I was pretty tired till the weekend...

We are on the countdown to meet our little one...like the kiddos would say  5 times sleep right mom...  yup 5 times and I am so ready..  I have come to the conclusion that I am not a very patient person and I have a very low pain tolerance... I'm not sure which is worse, just being plain down uncomfortable or not having they patience you need to be a mother of 5 almost 6...... I think I tend to lose it a lot easier when I don't feel good.... and lets just say I don't do good under stress....please tell me I am not alone in this...........someone, anyone,  so hopefully this next week will go pretty fast and we will be holding our little one...oh the joy.....  thank you Jesus for blessing us with these!!!!! please give me  the patience I need to endure the next couple days and beyond.......We pray for a safe delivery, keep us in the Shadow Of Thy Wings... help us to raise our children for Your glory.....amen




blessings to You and Yours......
