Washington D.C

Ok this is Anna filling in for Sara. :-) Her picture uploader was not working with the WiFi that she is using so she sent me these pics to share with ya'll. :-) Enjoy! (btw: It has been brought to my attention that these photos were actually taken with my brother's blackberry, not Sara's camera. Her pics are coming later.) :-)

 This is Sara in the balcony of a tall building. :-) I have no idea what building, but I think it's some museum. They're getting ready for the parade that's coming down the road in front of them.

 

Ok so I had to put this one on simply because thats me she's talking to on the phone. :-D

Update

Hey everyone! I'm in Fairfax Virginia, which is a suburb right outside of Washington DC! Tomorrow will be amazingly busy and crowed as we make our way into Washington for the Memorial Day festivities. My picture down-loader isn't working right now with the free Wi-Fi that I have and I'm too tired to really try to figure it out. Thank you all for your prayers...they were so felt. I'm going to go to bed early and try to figure out the picture thing tomorrow or the next day. Thanks again!

Amazing Road Trip!!!

Ok, so I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 7: a.m in the morning. Where you might ask? Well some of you already know, but for those of you who don't, I'm going on a 2 and a half week road trip with my big brother Jon. We will be stopping in Washington DC for the first 5 days of the trip and then we will hit several Civil War sites across the South. And my personal favorite stop will be Greenville South Carolina where we will hopefully go to a Josh Groban concert!!! I'm so excited about that...you have no idea how much I love Josh Groban's voice and his songs....I'm sure this will be my highlight of the trip, Lol.

So, please keep me and my brother in your prayers for the next couple of weeks and I'll try to post some pictures regularly whenever I can. So-long for now! 

"Blessings"

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise

Thanks Hannah for putting me onto this song...I love it, and Laura Story sings it so well too!

Abby's Graduation!

 My cousin Abby graduated from high school last Friday. It was so much fun seeing her family and hanging out with the cousins. The party after the graduation was beautiful and so Abby! See the zebra cake at the back of the table? She designed it herself.

On the left of the table are some Starbucks cake pops...I never did get one, but I heard they were totally awesome!

Her parents gave her an Apple Ipad...it was so fun to play with. (I so totally want one now lol.)

 Abby was trying to protect Mia from Uncle Jamie...I love his expression:) 

 My Aunt Michelle and sister Krista.

 Mia started dancing and singing in the backyard so I decided to grab a pic of her...she is so cute!

Congratulations Abby!

You are a beautiful, Godly young lady and I'm so blessed to have you for a cousin!

Mia!

 This is my cuter then ever friend Mia! She is my Uncle's brother's daughter...are you confused? Well, our family went to Tulsa Oklahoma for my cousin's graduation and while we were there, this little beauty posed some cute poses for me.

 

What do you think of her? Isn't she adorable?

I'll post some pics of the graduation later on in the week.

Lemon Face!

So, Jake and Amyann thought that Kylie was old enough to taste her first lemon;) It was so fun to watch her expressions change. At first, she just licked her lips and made a perplexed face, but then Jake gave her a larger amount and she puckered up really good for the picture. It was so fun and she really loved it!
