Happy Birthday Karisa! My sweet angel, you were 3 years old a couple days ago and we had a blast for your day! Pancakes, Mcdonald's happy meals, san jose beach and a cherry cake to top off the evening. You are delightful, fun loving and bursting with personality! You shine with your ability to make me smile and the jokes, my sweet girl you can never be accused of having no sense of humor! You are intelligent and able to tell me just about everything that goes on in that little mind of yours. You fight for what is rightfully yours and will not be pushed around. You are content with playing with your little brother most of the time, but insist that you are a big girl and hang with the big girls often. Kaley and Makenzy have so much fun teaching you about the world around. And, right on point you let your little bro in on the details of this life and how the chain of command is supposed to work.

Playing catch up


We have gone about 350 miles away from the only home I have ever known. It was tough and well worth it! We learned a lot about eachother and about traveling with the lil ones. We left a week later than expected and it took about 4 days of travel, with some minor set backs crossing the border or rather finding the correct border..oops. All in all we handled the baja like experts. Bear was totally amazing with his driving skills that left me thanking Jesus all the way. He seriously was inches from semi trucks on these tiny Mexican roads with 3 of our 4 kiddos in tow! I am so excited to be sharing this piece of our fun with you and have spent tons of time on these few words. I will get better at this soon so more of our lives can be shared with my friends and family I miss and love!

My pride and joy



Kaley you are a jewel. You amaze me with your charm and character. I am so proud of you. I am in awe to think that 7 years ago you were born. That you have grown into a little lady and it will not be long before you are a woman! Be proud of who you are, a servant of the most high, King, you are royalty! You will grow in grace and beauty and still have the wisdom that comes from a humble heart. Can't wait for the adventures to come!Makenzy my sweet energetic flower. You are a blooming ray of sunshine!At a blossoming 5 years old you are turning into a little woman before my eyes. God has blessed you with such compassion for people you always seek a worthy fight! Remember to stand for your convictions and with Jesus anything is possible. Karisa you are a joy! You keep me in stitches with your silly jokes and adorable cuteness! And Isaiah, what can I say about my boy. My long awaited, perfectly timed boy! You are most assuredly a blessing from God. You bring added strength to this family that we could not do without. My beautiful family causes my heart to swell with pride.

Under Construction


This site is Under Construction.....Wow is that an understatement! With boxes lining the walls and furniture oddly placed around the house, the nagging question, "what can we live without?" Life is under construction right now! We are relocating to the tip to the Baja. Cabo San Lucas, BCS; Mexico.
Bear and I fell in love with our home all over and I absolutely refuse to let it be trashed by uncaring renters once again. We will be setting off on our journey before the school year starts in Aug. Things are really down to the wire and all the planning we have done really won't prepare us for the grand opportunity to live in a foreign land. Ok, so it's really not that foreign to all of us. It's right in the backyard of America! I've been asked many questions about the safety and the quality of life for the kids and all I have to say is.... I'm going to the beach. The serene reminder of what life is really about, our Creator and no fear! Forget swine flu, or kidnapping or any other media pharse that would keep me from living in such a beautiful place. So here we go....
