As of today we are creating a new Blog which is attached to this one. It is called Kenya 2009. To get to it you can go to "View my complete profile" right next to our Profile Picture. Then once you are on our profile page, go to the Kenya 2009 Blog. This blog site will be the one updated as we prepare for and are on our Kenya trip next month. We leave on the 17th of Feb and come back on the 26th. We ask that you keep us and our friends that we are going with, Tony & Jill, in your prayers as we seek Gods will and trust in Him during this mission trip. Unfortunately, our kiddos won't be coming with us this time, my mom will be staying with them, so we also pray for peace in their little hearts and minds that they just remember that our lives are in God's hands.
We hope you are blessed by this blog as our journey begins here at home, on our knees and proceeds 9000 miles away......

CONGRATULATIONS ~ TRAVIS & MAELLA PETERSON!!!

Our best friends, Travis and Maella, just got married and all 4 of us were in their wedding. It was a beautiful wedding yet so simple. We just love these guys. I had to post some pics, because this is one of the rare times you will ever see any of us dressed up. That is why we take pictures, because they last longer...

Here is Doodle bug getting her hair done, she looked so beautiful!

Here we are, the 4 of us... all dressed up and ready for the wedding.

My 2 favorite men...

The ladies,

again...

Mommy & her boy (mini me)...

I was so happy to see when my sister came to the wedding...

Here is the happiest couple this side of the moon!

The kiddos

Amber with Maella, they had matching dresses, it was so adorable (Amber had her sweater over hers in this pic, she was a little chilly)...

And here we are, the three stooges....

Just the beginning to an awesome story! Love you guys!!! Congratulations!!!

MORE AND MORE AND MORE SNOW.... WILL IT EVER STOP???

This storm is taking it's toll on the bodies of us North Idaho folks.

Jim and I have been shoveling, almost everyday for about 2 weeks straight. At least the kids are enjoying it...

Notice Jim standing in the door way... we just got done shoveling the driveway after work.

Here are the kiddos playing in the snow down by the stop sign. That fence to the left is a 6 foot privacy fence to one of our neighbors house. The kids get so excited when we get home from work so they can go down and play on this hill... as if we don't have enough snow in our backyard to play in...
