They work!

OK, some of you may not understand this but last evening was one of the most exciting nights at our house........
Our chickens laid their first egg! The kids were so excited, the neighbor called and asked if everything was OK! Hey, to a 9, 7, 4 and 1 year old this is a BIG deal!

Harvest Party!!

We had such a great party on the 25th! We danced the night away. Everyone had to dress up - kids and adults.

We had 85 people ! Good friends, good food, good music, good games, great kids = a time to remember!

Swingin' with my "hot" guy!

And a party is not a real party with out the "macarena."

"Find the candy in the hay" game!

Verse for the day!

"Faithful is he who calleth you, who also will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:24

Grandma came to visit!

Grandma came to visit for four days. We had such a great time! She gave us all gifts from the "Jajaz"(the grandma's) in Uganda that are taking care of their orphaned grandchildren. They presented Kathy with presents for her whole family - we were very touched. For those of you who do not know Kathy, in obedience to God, opened a small orphanage called "The Redeemer House." We are very excited to see these seven orphans now have a place to call home and a mommy named, Gracious. Gracious said, "these children are no longer orphans, they are my children." What a miracle that must be to to go from going having nothing and doing whatever it took to survive to now having a mommy, home, food, bed, blankets and for the first time have the opportunity to go to school! I will be starting a blog for her to update us on the goings on at The Redeemer House soon.

Grandma loves to dress the kids up and let them pretend to be whatever they want to be. Well.........my boys thought the sparkly dresses were very pretty.............

I am pretty sure daddy is going to have them out hunting every night for the next week because of these pictures - haha!

Here are some other pics of their dress up day!

I will leave you with the cutest pics of all - Grandma was telling Lily to say "Hallelujah!"

Thanks Grandma for all the fun!

Beautiful Fall Day!

Fall is here but I am still in summer!

Fall is here and it is my favorite time of year but I am really not ready for my favorite time of year!

Hunter had such a great time making a little Indian village - until......... Barbie, the goat, walked through it. I saw him crying outside and helped him rebuild it - poor thing, naughty goat! haha
