8

Our 8 year olds!! 

My poor blog is so sad. I miss it soo. 
Blogging has changed a lot over the years, but i will not let it go! I have always enjoyed it, and the kids love looking back at it. Here's to attempting to get back at it!


A joint "EXTREME CHALLENGE" Birthday Party!
RAINBOWS AND BASEBALLS!









Isabel requested one of those rainbow cakes! GASP!
I got a quote for one from a bakery, and GASP again.  
I decided to call on my old faithful friend Martha Stewart, and do it myself!
SUCCESS!!
She actually has a video of a gal on her show coming on to make it. I watched it as i made the cake, and it was quite simple, just time consuming.













Lukey boy requested a baseball cake "from the store"
I think next year he'll request i make his  ;)




 It tasted as good as it looks!!!



 Their birthday celebration each year is so much fun!!
We are blessed and so happy to call these two wonderful kids our own.  
Life is good year two in Denver.  In one week from today, they will begin 3rd grade!
We are so excited to watch them grow this year.  They will be in the same class again - another huge blessing!!

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.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
