Our little Cubbie!



I absolutely love watching little kids up on stage in front of everybody. It was Arika's first time in front of a big group of people. She finished her cubbies book so she got to go up and get her award!
Sorry the picture is blurry. She wouldn't stand still! hahaha! That's our little munchkin!
Arika we are so proud of you. You worked hard learning your verses!
Thank you to all the leaders and helpers in cubbies! Arika absolutely loved every minute of it!

End of the season


This past Wednesday was the closing ceremony for Awana.I had the awesome privilege of giving the girls their awards!
We have one night left, but that is just the carnival for all the kids!
I had a total blast this year being the director of Treasure Seekers, 3rd and 4th grade girls. We had some fun events over the year. Just a couple of weeks ago we had a secret sister reveal party. Ladies in our church adopted each girl and prayed for them and gave them small gifts throughout the year. They had fun playing games, eating yummy treats, and meeting each other.

Part of me is glad the year is over and the other part of me is sad, as next year I won't get to help out! Each and every girl is so special. I thank the Lord for allowing me to have a part in their lives, even if it was small!
Till next time,
Joy

No Way!


Arika blowing out the candles on her Lighting McQueen Cake!


Last Saturday we had a party for Arika, I keep thinking there is NO WAY she is already 3!
We had a total blast! We had family and friends over. (We had it at my in-laws) Our apartment is waaaaay to small to have as many people as we had! My mom was able to come up. Unfortunately dad had to work! We really missed him! Just thought I'd post some pics from her bday!Doesn't she make a cute hula girl?


Arika and her friend Anna taken a break!
They were so cute. they were whispering to each other!

Thank you too all who were able to come! You made Arika's day very special!

To cute for Words.

So I just wanted to show off how adorable my kids are. Of course I'm sure I'm biased.
I love seeing them grow and learn everyday!

This is some of Lincoln's first cereal. He absolutely loves to eat!



My little princess playing dress up!



One day Arika decided she wanted to read a book to Linc! It was to cute!

Starting over!

Okay, So I wanted to figure out the blog all by myself. I think I did it. It will take me time to figure it out. This blog is where I will get to post all I want about my kids and what is going on in my life since I'm not sure everybody always wants to hear about it every week in our email we send out. So if you want to read about what happens in my daily life read on!
