Water Babies - Kinda

We try to be in the water when we can. IT IS SO HOT! This little party pool is enjoyed on a regular basis. We also have great friends who let us enjoy their pools. Emsleigh loves the water as long as she can touch the bottom of the pool, which means big pools she sits on the steps and goes no further. Kesed loves water and floating in the big pools or playing in the little ones. In 110 degree weather we are really thankful for the water. 

First Sleep Over

While Josh and Monica were out of town last month, 

Abby and Emsleigh had a sleep over! 

It was lots of fun! Of course there was dancing...

And movie watching in a tent...

and brushing teeth together...

and making waffles together in the morning!!

Time in Pattonsburg

We spent a Saturday night in Pattonsburg at the Lambert's house. I should have taken more pictures but was having such a good time I forgot. I did snap a picture of Emsleigh and Rhonda decorating a birthday cake for Jeremiah and I :)!

The next morning was lovely. We enjoyed worshipping and hearing the Word with those we love at Pattonsburg Baptist Church. AND a most delightful potluck meal...there is no comparison!

I am sure I mentioned last time that our friends the Yates are now pastoring at Pattonsburg. We praise God for this and are excited to see how God is using them there. 

Malachi and Kesed - 1 year old!!!!

This is the only picture I could get of Emsleigh and Josiah. They were too busy playing!

And of course, the family photos! Kesed starting pulling out my hair, hence my face in the last one. I love these pictures, mainly just cause I love the people in them so much!

Since the day Josiah was born Emsleigh has been trying to give him hugs :)!

Atleast Malachi willingly hugged Kesed!

And our last stop was the Holcombs. We spent many nights around this table the years we were in Pattonsburg. It was special to be gathered their again and wonderful to be eating Patsy's mac-n-cheese!

Time with Family in Missouri

Emsleigh and Kesed loved all their time with Memaw and Pepaw.

Fun times with the boys..Jayden, Blake and Gage 

Emsleigh and Kesed love their Aunt Angie

Grandma Thelma came to see us too!

Ems enjoyed watching tv and eating cheetos with Uncle Tommy.

With the Moore's in Missouri

We took a trip back to the beautiful green midwest! It was a fun trip and we got to see lots of friends and family. We spent time with our dear friends, the Moore's. Emsleigh and Nora warmed up to each other quickly. Nora calls Emsleigh, "Emsleigh Ruth" it was super cute. We visited a nice park/petting zoo.

Nora enjoyed the goats. However, Emsleigh was not happy with the goats after three goats surrounded her and started nibbling on her tutu. And a goat approached Kesed and Kesed just slapped it. My kids aren't too animal friendly!

We were all excited to meet Baby Levi. We have been anxiously awaiting his arrival and praying fervently for him during a stay in the hospital.

Even though we only see our friends once or twice a year we treasure them! We love you Moore Family!

AWANA Award Night

  Cubbies waiting for the program to start!

...jump and shout for joy...

As Emsleigh always says, "Best Sisters!"

Finally a picture with Cubbie!

Love all these girls! And Kesed obviously loves the 

waterbottle so much she needed to give it a hug too.
