17 Years Old!

Sunday, September 10th... BO TURNED 17! 

(Sorry, no better birthday photos... I couldn't convince him to pose, so I had to get some while he was checking the bee hives=)

We're so thankful for Bo and how God made him! He loves anything flight, and keeps us all up to date on what he's learning=) He is a great help to Daddy installing and fixing internet, and of course is always our "go to" when we need something fixed.  He is a wonderful friend as well as brother, and I can't wait to see how God works in his life!

Finally, a little while after his birthday, Daddy took him up to the Courthouse and he came back a "safe driver" {smile} Congratulations on getting your drivers license, Bo! {Photo taken less than 2 hours after he was officially an independent, lol!}

 "The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth."

Ps. 145:18

Justice!

Justice Lamar turned 11 years old on May 10th!

We're so thankful for Justice, and his helpful + cheerful spirit! 
In our time of family sharing what they like about their siblings, on their birthdays, the most repeated character quality mentioned was Justice's willingness to help, and perseverance in hard work! We enjoy living life alongside him, and watching him grow up!

We celebrated last Thursday at a spring nearby, along with Mamaw, and a few families in our church... Such a blessing that we could rent it out for the day, so we had it all to ourselves!

Lined up on the dock feeding fish!

Mamaw and Bompa's birthday card!

Yummy blueberry cobbler!

Anna-Frances and Frank have such cheesy smiles, when asked to smile for the camera=)

The famous tradition was again executed... Daddy let us push him off the dock!

Soaking up sunshine=)

We love you, Justice!

Surprise Visit...=)

 Sunday, 8-28-16

Was a shocker of a day! No one in our family knew that we would have three surprise visitors at church. Mr. Siefka, Joanna, and Glory quitely slipped in the back pew, about 15 minutes till the end of the last service. They drove down to GA to pick up a puppy for Glory, and decided to drive the extra 4 hours south to surprise us! That was one surprise we'll never forget... especially Evan! They ended up spending Monday afternoon with us, before they had to head back home. Here's some pictures from our visit~

Frankie loved walking to Glory!

We girls=)

And Evan, of course=) Frankie's always in the middle of the action!

Russell has his buddy back!

Puppy (no name yet) was center of attention for the little guys. They put her in Frank's new wagon, and were pulling her around. 

Then they decided to let her "drive" it! Pretty relaxed; only driving with one paw!

Careful now...=)

This is a classic!
Praise the Lord for giving us this unexpected visit with them! 

1 Year Old!

Our favorite baby boy turned 1 year old on the 26th! I can hardly believe it's already been that long. I knew he'd grow up too fast. Well, it's not "too" fast, since God's timing is perfect... But we sure do love all the baby stages! Frank is very intelligent, and knows more than we realize. He LOVES music! Whenever a particularly lively tune is playing, he'll bounce up and down and clap his hands. It's so funny watching him=) He can walk, but is not very confident yet. He's taken 11 steps in a row, that we know of. 

**Love this little fellow so much**

Frankie got a little wagon for his birthday! He loves pushing it around, and especially pushing Anna-Frances in it=)

Sitting in it is okay, but he'd rather be on the move! (He was actually rocking it back and forth here=)

Balancing...

"Good job! Way to go, Frankie!"

Much more confident walking, while pushing his wagon=)

This little fellow is absolutely A>D>O>R>A>B>L>E!

Random Pics of Frankie=)

Sir Frank, the 12th--- LOVES watermelon!

He's always exploring and "swimming" all over the floor!

Which means he sleeps well since he's so busy=)

His hair has grown so long, you can run your fingers through it and it stands up!

The rest are some of his adorable expressions=) Enjoy!

We love him! He's 9 1/2 months old now... I can hardly believe the time as just flown by so fast... He's not such a little baby anymore, but we are cherishing the time we have.
