It's spring already?!

I am always horrified when I finally post as to how much time as passed since my last post. But I will not give up on the blog completely, I have at least committed to that ;) So I'll just post the pictures I have and interesting things that have happened over the past few months....

Christmas was lots of fun and my kids scored big outdoor toys like scooters, bikes, and a basketball hoop all for super cheap and thanks to Grandparents ;)  In this amazing Arizona weather and with all our neighborhood friends, these things are used daily!


Aaron got a nice Specialized mountain bike and has gotten to go mountain biking with Daddy several times now.  He does awesome and both of them come home beaming after a ride together. It is a treasured time for them, and we are so thankful the Lord has allowed Lee's knee to be able to things like this....

Aaron continues to do well in school, getting straight A's and being on the director's list....


I got to go with his class on a field trip to the zoo in February....

I'm always thankful to have extra good time with him now that he is in school full-time.  And I'm glad he's not too cool for me to come on a field trip with him! 

He also played baseball on a team for the first time with his friend, Carson, from school.  He did great and made his Momma proud ;)

Noel is doing well and growing up quickly - She is strong and opinionated, but has a sweet heart.  She has been blessed to live near some little friends close to her age and pretty much plays daily with them....

One of her little friends, Ezra, also comes to our church and preschool with her.  They are the very best of friends....




Noel's cousin, Gracie, was in the hospital and very sick for awhile and she missed her greatly!  We are so glad she is healthy and well!

In February, we also got to enjoy some time with both of my brothers coming into town for a long weekend.  We have not all been together for several years now, and it was a sweet time.  To spend time with them and have all the kids together was something I really cherished....  We had to take time for some family pics...  Here are a few....






In mid-February, Kyle, Sarah, and Obie headed back to Uganda.  It was so wonderful to have them around for a few months and saying good-bye was sad, but we are so thankful that they are doing well and following the call of Yahweh as missionaries there.  

So in a nutshell, there are some glimpses into our past few months!  We also went through a big change of adding Saturday night services to our growing church....  It is been an adjustment to the schedule, but we are obviously ecstatic to be seeing so much growth and need for this at Harvest, and we really do feel privileged to be a part of it all!  Thanks for checking in!
