Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day! (Charissa 6 months!)

Mommy and Daughter

I made these cake pops for our moms at church for mother's day! They took a long time to make but they were sure yummy! You can see how to make them here.

My sweet hubby made me this Styrofoam tiered thing to display them on and helped me assemble it.  

Finished project!

Easter Sunday

Here are a few pictures from our Easter. We had about 20 kids in kids church (not as many as we have been running) but they were very lively! We trust you had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday too! He is risen!

Play time!

Grandma Scoles gave Charissa this little kitty for Christmas. It walks and is supposed to "meow" but it sounds more like "squeak"!:) We saved it until she got a little older. I got it out about a month or so ago and she is not real sure of it yet. These are a few pictures of her with it.

 Just a little sad!

More Campin' Pictures...

Here is some more of our camping pictures!

Quil is helping to build the fire.

Micah with his precious Pickle kitty! He was showing it to Charissa while we were there and I asked if Charissa could hold it too. He responded, "No, she might bite it. She just better look at it!" :)

Campin' Trip

Thursday morning my husband called me and said "You want to go camping tomorrow?" Well, I didn't go camping when I was little at all, so I don't have any fond memories of camping,(And I don't relish sleeping on the hard, cold ground:) but I said "Sure!" At least my sweet hubby wouldn't have to work and we needed to get away anyways! :) We went with Randy and Joy and boys to Stockon lake and we had a fun time. 

Charissa and mommy on her first camping trip. She did great and liked sleeping in between mommy and daddy in the tent.

Helpin' Uncle Tim with the fire

Enjoying the day in the stroller. Fortunately the bugs were not to bad.

Micah caught Uncle Tim withe the fishing net! (Actually Tim was telling them a story and got in it himself! Just looks like Micah caught him)

Mommy is getting her feet wet in the cold water!

About to float away! Daddy pushed her out there! The water is so clear.

Happy Birthday Emily!

Happy Birthday to Tim's sister Emily, who is turning 14 today! Emily came and stayed with us last summer. We had lots of fun times swimming in Ranae and Joanna's pool, doing VBS, and playing her violin (with me playing the keyboard) at the tent meeting. She was properly tortured by us not telling the name we had picked out for our baby! :)- She said she is not going to come back to stay with us tho, because of the infestation of little critters that we have every year in Missouri! =) The ants were terrible and somehow we got hundreds of cockroaches too! We love you Em and are so happy that you want to serve Jesus!

Emily and Charissa about a week and a half after C was born 

This was at Christmas time. Charissa was 6 wks.
