JOY ELIZABETH!

One year ago you came into this world, and peace filled to a greater measure in the room and over our lives.  Your life brought a greater revelation of HIS peace and joy.  We are so thankful for you.

The Lord has said you are a woman of TRUTH and CONSECRATED to HIM! 

His Word will be a "lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path"

You are so loved.

You are a woman stamped with deep security.

You bring light to dark places.

You are a carrier of the Father's great joy.

Happy Birthday.

It was a great month before turning 1 Year OLD!

Boys and Baseball

I mean are these boys handsome or what!!?  

I am only a 1/2 summer behind on blogging :/ so I'll start with baseball.

It was such a fun season playing with some of our favorite friends and people.

This ripe old age of 6 years old is the best.  Love us some t-ball.

Love these mighty men of God!

Watch out Monroe Elementary, these boys love Jesus and can't wait to tell you about Him!

 Naters had a great season.  He would rotate between shortstop, pitcher and first base.

He definitely had a couple home run hits too!

 Pops supporting his Naters

 I love this pic of my Beau-man.  He did so great this year, considering it was his first time to play.  He hit the first ball of the season on their first game, and hit two home runs in his second game!  Way to go Beau bear.

 The boys biggest fans...Annie B and Joy

 These boys are such buddies...

they have a lifetime of conquering the next sport together,

and changing the world. Such mighty men.

This is my favorite pic of the season.  

My sweet Beau, oh how I love him.  His heart is pure gold.
