Our Year in Pictures

I'm going to try to post a couple End of Year blogs, today is our year in pictures. Hope you enjoy!



We took a vacation in January to Gatlinburg, TN and had -0 tempratures and a good bit of snow. It was a great way to start out 2014.




Here is Jason and Ethan on Jason's birthday in February. It actually snowed the day before his birthday and the roads were all icky. We managed to make it to Olive Garden for a birthday dinner.


Ah, my little Free Spirit turned 4 in March. What a little firecracker she is, love her.


This is our Easter picture, my three kiddos with their Great-Grandfather!


Speaking of their Great-Grandfather (my Grandfather of course), he turned 80 years young in June! 



August came and I celebrated 15 years of marriage to this handsome man. Where does the time go? I swear it was just yesterday I said "I do." 


My Ethan turned 13 on September 7, seriously, a teenager! It was an airsoft war for him, not much fun for Mom, but I think that may have been the idea.


The younger two and I were able to get away for a weekend to Cherokee with my parents and grandparents. What a blessing it is to spend time with family, memories made that will last forever.


My Chandler turned 10 on September 27. We celebrated with a party in the back yard with some of his friends. This boy, is one of a kind, what a joy to raise him.


October brought Apple Picking with family and friends. Here is a shot of me and my Chan waiting on the yummy doughnuts from Sky Top.


Here is the family in Savannah, we were able to spend a couple of days there and then ministered in a church a little piece from Savannah. It truly is a joy to serve the Lord with your family.


The day after Thanksgiving, instead of Black Friday Shopping, we went downtown Greenville and had some Wings and Coffee. I know, what a combination, right?


This is a better late than never reward for Chandler's report card (all A's and B's).


And here we have Christmas 2014. I am the world's worst for getting the whole family together for a picture. So, here is the little one with her Frozen guitar.


And here is my adorable teenage son with his Columbia jacket.


Here is Chandler with his legos. And I'll spare you pictures of me and my hubby in our pj's

Hope you and yours had a blessed 2014.

Super Mom!

(I'm using an old pic today because I couldn't get a new one to upload~ugh computers)  As I sit and write this post I feel on the verge of screaming, crying and pulling out my hair.Yesterday was our first day back to school and our first day getting back on the potty training schedule. And everything went soooo smooth! The boys studied so hard and didn't complain even once. Addison went potty at least 5 times and actually seemed happy about it. I even baked homemade Pita Bread for lunch. Yesterday I felt like Super Mom!! Then I woke up today... It is early afternoon and my little one is napping and the boys are just finishing up school. And I just want to cry! Why? Well, let's just say today was not quite as smooth and I wasn't quite the Super Mom I felt like yesterday. School was a bit more stressful, more tests, more lessons in diagraming (so glad I'm not in 5th grade), more potty accidents, more papers lost, more messes made and so forth. Really, j...

Faith without Fear

This thought has been on my heart all week, faith without fear. How many times have you stepped out on faith and noticed the trembling inside as you shook with fear? Isn’t it a scary thing to obey the Lord and take that step of faith? Not knowing where God is sending you, how He is going to provide for you, if you are going to get that job offer, if He is going to heal you, if your loved one is going to accept Christ, what to do next… Couldn’t you just tremble with fear NOT knowing??                 Hebrews 11:23 “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” I was reading Hebrews this week and when I read this verse, a light seemed to come on. I had never thought about faith that way, faith without the fear. As you know, this blog is all about my journey in faith but I wo...
