Here are some random fun pics!

We have so much fun riding on the ice
cream truck in the mall. Abe's smile tells all.

This was the first time having a bath in our bath
tub.....what a hoot. The jacuzzi makes amazing bubbles.
The kids were laughing really hard and didn't want to
get out. We had to shower off though after we were done.

2008-03-23T21:24:00.001-05:00

Fun in the snow!!!
Hard to believe it snowed a few weeks ago but it did!
We had lots of fun being pulled on the sled and playing
in the trampoline.

Hi Everybody!!!!!

It's been a little while since you've heard from us! We are doing wonderful and enjoying our family more and more each day. The Lord has done great things for us!

Happy Easter!

When dad got home after the camp, the kids were excited to catch up with him. He is such a stallion:)

Christmas 2007

Happy New Year!

We sure had a wonderful Christmas and hope that you did too.

We went to Florida for Christmas this year and had tons of fun!! The whole family went to the Florida Aquarium, the beach, and Busch Gardens. We also had a blast at my parents' house riding on the golf cart, playing with Nana and Bampa, and going swimming. We got to hang out a lot with my brother and his family. There are horse stables near their house that we visited and my brother has a huge Christmas light display in his yard that the boys completely loved. We loved playing with our cousins Sean and Alyse too! The time sure flew by!

Matt and I went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure while Nana and Bampa kept the boys. We went with my brother and his family. It's probably one of our favorite theme parks we've been to! We highly recommend it.

The beach that we went to is at MacDill Air Force Base. Besides going to the beach, we also got to see all the neat airplanes!

This family picture was taken right on the spot where Matt proposed to me 9 years ago. WOW...the Lord has sure been faithful to our family. What a joy to return there with the boys and have this picture. The Lord has done great things for us.

Thanks so much for the prayers you've said for us over the years!! Click here to see the new pictures!

A few weeks ago, our family went on the Christmas train in Springdale. We had soooo much fun. We went from Springdale to Fayetteville and got to see Santa also.

Abe and Luke are sitting on the caboose in this picture. Abe is holding his new train in his hand from his Grammie....it's a steamy.

The boys sure do love each other and get along amazing. It's wonderful to see the love between two brothers.

Dad is giving them a bear hug. He's such an incredible daddy. We are so thankful for him!!!!

Hey everyone! We know it's been forever since we've blogged. This is Kerrie and I'm attempting to learn how to blog so that I can update this site a little bit. So, please be patient with me as I learn. Thanks and we love you.

Family Update!

2007-03-12T23:29:00.000-05:00

Hello, everyone! I know this is a new record for time in between blogs, but we've had some issues with getting our pictures on the blog that I've hopefully fixed by making our first web album! Our new photo album can be found right here!

Well, here's a crash course in our lives over the past few months...

-We had a great Christmas at Mom's house in Bartlesville--and it turns out it was our last Christmas there! Mom and Grandma sold their house and have moved to Northwest Arkansas! They are leasing a house right down the street while they build on the land next to Jaime and Jason's. We are so excited! It's a continuation of our master plan to get everyone in our family to move to NWA. Watch out...you could be next.

-Luke had his first birthday! His party was great. We found out he really loves birthday cake. (You'll be able to tell from the pictures!)

-Abe got his first black eye! He fell off a 6-inch tall stage at the church and gave himself a pretty good shiner. Since then, he's had 3 more so he's gotten to be a pro at it.

-Abe has started talking up a storm. He says "thank you" around 200 times a day, and we can only pray he'll keep that up.

-We are experts in the movie "Cars." Our extensive knowledge come from watching it at least once a day since it's come out. We have almost all the Cars Hot Wheels, and Abe loves the Lightning McQueen car. He eats with it, bathes with it, and sleeps with it. Kerrie even bought another one to keep as a spare so we won't have to go through the trauma of losing him.

-Luke loves balls (he calls everything "ball") and Abe loves anything with an engine--cars, boats, airplanes, trains, etc.

Well, there's some of the stuff we've got going on. Thanks for reading and God bless!

Hey there! Welcome back!

2006-11-12T23:04:00.000-06:00

Two favorite things--watching Bob the Builder and torturing the dog.

2006-11-12T23:03:00.000-06:00

Tater's taking some modeling pics. He's working on being the next Gerber baby.

2006-11-12T23:01:00.001-06:00

What?

2006-11-12T23:01:00.000-06:00

Luke's a little excited about the slide.

2006-11-12T23:00:00.000-06:00

The hiking pack--Dad walks while Luke pulls his ears. Everybody wins!

2006-11-12T22:59:00.000-06:00

Lemme outta here!

2006-11-12T22:58:00.000-06:00

Abe and Riley LOVE playing together. Abe only lost two fingers in this shot.

2006-11-12T22:57:00.000-06:00

Our Halloween Pics! Pictured from right to left: Yoda, Qui-Gonn Jinn (Jedi), Speeder bike Leia, and an Ewok. (He just looks like a lion)

2006-11-12T22:54:00.000-06:00

Trick or treating was hard work. (and cold!) Needless to say, Abe didn't last very long...

2006-11-12T22:53:00.000-06:00

...and Tater was over it even faster.

2006-11-12T22:52:00.000-06:00

Help you I can!

2006-11-12T22:51:00.001-06:00

We went to a Harvest Party up at the church. Yoda loved the puppet show! He walked right up to the front!

2006-11-12T22:51:00.000-06:00

The fellas don't like to sit in one place for long...so this is the best Halloween pic we got of the boys together.

2006-11-12T22:49:00.000-06:00

Tater loves being a lion.

2006-11-12T22:48:00.000-06:00

We got a trampoline and decided to pick the coldest day of the year so far to put it up. So, we bundled the kids up and headed out!

2006-11-12T22:47:00.000-06:00

Brrrr!

2006-11-12T22:46:00.001-06:00

Check out those candy cane mittens.

2006-11-12T22:46:00.000-06:00

It's hard for Abe to pick stuff up with mittens on.

2006-11-12T22:45:00.000-06:00

Shower Time!

Quick Hello!

2006-10-08T21:42:00.000-05:00

Hey, everybody! It's getting late and I'm really tired, but I wanted to drop some pictures on the site and let everyone know that we are doing great! Sorry I didn't offer any witty captions or anything, but the pictures say it all. Love everyone!

The boys are really starting to become friends and play together! They're so cool!

2006-08-19T19:52:00.000-05:00

Abe loves his Tonka truck. It's huge.

2006-08-19T19:45:00.000-05:00

Best friends!

2006-08-19T19:39:00.000-05:00

Oh, my! Look at all those teeth!

2006-08-19T19:38:00.000-05:00

We went to Florida a couple of weeks ago to see the family and because Kerrie was in Jenni Voth's wedding. We had a great time!

2006-08-19T19:36:00.000-05:00

Those boy's sure do love each other!

2006-08-19T19:34:00.000-05:00

Tater had his first bite of "real" food a couple of weeks ago.

2006-08-19T19:33:00.001-05:00

He didn't like it too much.

2006-08-19T19:33:00.000-05:00

OK, so he really didn't like it.

2006-08-19T19:31:00.000-05:00

Luke rockin' it in the tub.

2006-08-19T19:29:00.000-05:00

Luke had a walker in Florida that he loved to be in. Abe would push him all over the house in it!

2006-08-19T19:24:00.000-05:00

Abe has his own rocking chair at Nana and Bampa's. He loves it!

2006-08-19T15:51:00.001-05:00

Dad and Abe at the playground in Florida.

2006-08-19T15:51:00.000-05:00

We haven't been able to use the pool as much as we've wanted, but the boys love it! It's great on a hot day. (which is everyday!)

2006-08-19T15:50:00.000-05:00

Singing in the rain.

2006-08-19T15:49:00.000-05:00

Taking a break before diving back in.

2006-08-19T15:46:00.000-05:00

Tater's not so sure about the pool...but he's getting used to it.

2006-08-19T15:45:00.000-05:00

Soaked and loving it.

2006-08-19T15:44:00.001-05:00

Jason and Jaime took this pic when they were babysitting.

2006-08-19T15:44:00.000-05:00

Hangin' out on the floor.

Rocky Mountain High

2006-07-17T22:13:00.000-05:00

Hello, everybody! We just got back from a little family vacation in Estes Park, Colorado. It was amazing! We got to stay at Ravencrest Chalet, which is a Torchbearers Bible School during the year. We have some great friends out there, so it was a joy to hang out with them and get some great family time. It was also really spiritually refreshing to be able to get away with the Lord by ourselves for awhile. I keep saying that it was our best family vacation ever, but since the boys are only 15 months and 5 months it's been our only family vacation ever! Anyways, let's hope all of the many future family vacations are as great as this one! As always, here's some pics...

2006-07-17T22:12:00.000-05:00

Here's our beautiful family at Ravencrest this year! It's really neat when you compare it to the next picture...

2006-07-17T22:10:00.000-05:00

...And here's our family in the same spot last year! It's pretty amazing the things that God has done in just a year!

2006-07-17T22:09:00.000-05:00

Here we are in Estes Park playing in the fields. Abe is quite the soccer player!

2006-07-17T22:08:00.000-05:00

Abe's running some wind sprints on the field to get in shape.

2006-07-17T22:07:00.000-05:00

Pretty much the coolest kid of all time.

2006-07-17T22:06:00.000-05:00

On our way home, we stopped and visited our Grandma Vi in Colorado Springs. It was great getting to see her!

2006-07-17T22:04:00.001-05:00

Luke loves Colorado!

2006-07-17T22:04:00.000-05:00

Peek-a-boo!

2006-07-17T22:03:00.000-05:00

Here's Tater's hiking pack. He didn't like to be in it for long periods of time. Probably because it didn't taste very good.

2006-07-17T22:01:00.000-05:00

Here's Abe in his awesome hiking pack. He loved it when I would ride around on my bike with him on my back. We did that for a couple of hours one day. Talk about a workout!

2006-07-17T21:59:00.000-05:00

Tater's chillin'.

2006-07-17T21:58:00.000-05:00

Abe got a new flexi-tunnel the other day. It's a little tight on Daddy, but it's fun!

2006-06-29T22:20:00.000-05:00

Today we got out the boys' new baby pool and had a great time!

2006-06-29T22:18:00.001-05:00

It was a little sunny, so Tater just looked on from the shade.

2006-06-29T22:18:00.000-05:00

Here's Abe getting ready to go down the whale slide. (He called it the "weee.")

2006-06-29T22:16:00.000-05:00

Abe loves going down the "weeeeee!"

2006-06-29T22:15:00.000-05:00

And Luke had fun watching him!

2006-06-29T22:14:00.000-05:00

Dang, those are some handsome boys!

2006-06-29T22:12:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure what we're looking at, but it must be pretty important.

2006-06-29T22:11:00.000-05:00

Tater thought that was funny.

2006-06-29T22:09:00.000-05:00

Abe and Dad kicking back, watching some TV, and destroying some popcorn.

2006-06-29T22:08:00.000-05:00

Abe eats just like Daddy!

2006-06-25T21:28:00.000-05:00

We're not bad parents, but we do love to see Luke's pouty face...so sometimes we let him get a little sad...

2006-06-25T21:27:00.000-05:00

Here it comes...

2006-06-25T21:26:00.001-05:00

Starting to get flustered...

2006-06-25T21:26:00.000-05:00

Almost there!

2006-06-25T21:25:00.001-05:00

Come on, you know it's really cute!

2006-06-25T21:24:00.000-05:00

He's not sure what to think yet.

2006-06-25T21:23:00.000-05:00

He has to concentrate really hard at it.

2006-06-25T21:22:00.001-05:00

I think he likes it!

2006-06-25T21:22:00.000-05:00

He LOVES it!

2006-06-25T21:20:00.000-05:00

Abe doesn't like Uncle Jesse's headband so much.

2006-06-25T21:19:00.000-05:00

Tater holding his toy and sleeping...very talented.
