60th at Rosemary Beach!

It's hard to believe our Dad is 60!

He is so young at heart!

He got up and rode his bike every morning, had all his kids and grandkids with him,
and that was all he asked for. We could have stayed home and eaten hotdogs for all he cared - just being with family makes him happiest!
It is with thanksgiving in our hearts that we celebrated my Dad.... to be raised by such a Godly man, one who prayed for us all our lives, encouraged us, and truly seeked the Lord in his journey with Mom to raise us. He has just given his life for us 5 and it is overwhelming sometimes when we think about the love in his heart. I really cannot say enough about my Father. His life is such a gift to us, and we truly had a wonderful time together celebrating him!


A few highlights...



This sprinkle fountain was steps out our door! A fun surprise!









We take different paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we take a little bit of each other everywhere...

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
