A Day at Papa & Grammy's

Sunday after church we headed over to Papa and Grammy's house to celebrate Amy's and my birthday that were both in February, but because of everyone's busy schedules, we were not able to celebrate them until Sunday. Thankfully it was a beautiful day outside and the boys were able to get out and play. We had a great relaxing time with the family.

Surprise #2

Today was a very special day. We were able to surpise my Dad with his ordination today at their church. David and Chuck as elders of the church were able to ordain my Dad as a pastor. So he is officially Pastor Pat now...how exciting! They annointed him with oil and prayed over him. It was such a blessing to witness as we have grown up knowing our Dad's hearts desire and passion to be a pastor and now seeing the Lord's will unfold in his life. I know the Lord has annointed him to be a pastor and I know the Lord will use him greatly for His kingdom. I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to do in him and through him in this little town of Cave Junction, Oregon. Congratulations Dad(Pastor Pat)! We love you!!

Weekend Full of Surprises - Surprise #1

Friday we were all able to surprise my mom with Chris and Kristen coming to visit. My mom had no idea. Chris and Kristen were able to get a week off and wanted to come and surprise my mom. She was so blessed and excited to see them as you can tell in the pictures:) We are all so happy when they are able to visit us and we can all be together as a family. It was also fun seeing Kristen's little belly...she is all tiny belly and looks so cute pregnant!

This was my Mom's reaction when she saw Kristen get out of the car Kristen running and crying I know my Mom and Kristen won't be happy about this picture, but I thought it was pretty funny
