Snow in Texas

Can you believe it??? We in our house belive that anything is possible with GOD! I left work a few hours early to get home safely. The kids had a blast in the snow and even my 3rd boy had fun. Ashton made snow angels.... "angels"... ha ha.

Our little Miracle

We all know how awsome God is... and how great of a sense of humor that he has... WELL, through everything in our lives over the past 4 months, God once again is telling us that he is the one in control, not us. We all so often give God our troubles one minute and the next minute we start worrying or obsessing over them and then find ourselves giving it back to God. Mark and I always seem to learn things the hard way. About 4 weeks ago I was sick "in bed" with what I thought was a "stomach virus". After being sick for 8 days, I went to the doctor. He was puzzled by my description of my discomfort. He told me to take some laxatives over the weekend to see if I could flush the virus out of my system and if I wasn't better my Tues. to call and come back. Well, I was no better by Tues. I had nausea, fatigue and unable to get out of bed. I went back to the doctor and had an appt. with his partner. She listened to my symptoms and said that she was going to order a gallbladder ultrasound and some GI work. Then she proceed to ask me some personal questions and I explained to her that I could not be pregnant because Mark had a vasetomy over the summer. She proceeded to tell me that we should do a pregnancy test just to make sure. I agreed and laughed at her as she left the room. She returned shortly after with a huge grin on her face, I felt this over whelmimg heat flash over my body and I felt like I was going to pass out. I knew what she was going to say before she said it. I proceeded to tell her that, this is not funny and not to be joking with me. She wasn't joking... we have a little miracle baby on the way. Wow, I feel too old for this. We know that God has his hand in our lives and he is going to take care of us through this time. I am 10 weeks 2 days today. I am now medicated for my nausea day and night. Please pray that this will end soon so that I can see and feel the joy of this miracle in our lives.

Gaylord Texan Hotel and Ice

Gaylord Texan Hotel is such a beautiful place to go this time of year. Mama and Papa really enjoyed the ice exhibit as well. The boys really enjoyed the ice exhibit.

The day after.....

The "mansion" continues..... We had a great visit from Marks family who live in East Texas. The kids had a nice time playing together. They just all do not like to get their pictures taken.

Thanksgiving 2006 We have so much to be thankful for!

We are so thankful that MaMa and PaPa are able to come and spend Thanksgiving with us. Ashton and Papa have been building a "mansion" out of cardboard boxes in the backyard. Ethan is always in the kitchen wanting to help cook and lick the spoons.

Evil Kaneviel

Who says that there can't be another Evil Kaneviel. I am not sure what our boys on the street are going to do once all of the houses are finished on our street. They love to play in the dirt, make "mixtures", build forts and make ramps for their bikes with the brick and wood. I believe that Ashton has 9 lives. It is unbelievable what he can do without getting hurt.

Plaza Softball Game

Every year Plaza Medical Center has a day of softball. Each departement develops a team and we play against each other. It is really good for the relationships between coworkers. We all have a really good time.

Soccer

Ashton has really enjoyed playing soccer this season. He is really fast and not a bad player for his first year. He wants to play again over the winter. His good friend Bradley that lives across from us play on the same team.

Camping at Joe Pool Lake Oct.

We went with the Field family camping for the weekend. Our camp site was on the water. The kids had a great time playing in the water. We had a great time.
