Sept week 2 - I will not remove mine integrity

Still celebrating Cash's birthday

He was very excited to go to his favorite store (IFA)

and pick out a toy with the birthday money from Nana Mathews

He still loves getting chicken eggs

Canning peppers

Home grown tomatoes not only taste amazing but grow in the shapes of ducks and snowmen, etc.

Tea party on the bridge

Hiking time

Right after picking up Troy from school

We love this hike that goes up to a natural spring

This boy can WORK!

Willard peaches! Mmmmm!

Fixing the barn roof!

Hooray!

Troy hauled this playground digger over here using the 4-wheeler, this dolly and some tow straps.

Determined, resourceful young man

Ta Da!

Scripture: "'till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me" -Job 27:5

Song: "Savior, may I learn to love thee,

Walk the path that thou hast shown,

Pause to help and life another,

Finding Strength beyond my own.

Savior, may I learn to love thee

Lord, I would follow thee."

Hymn #220

Sept week 1 - Obey God and not men

A Puppet Play

Play time

Troy's starting to help write things

We love this "mountain park"!

It was very fun.  We missed Troy, who was at school.

(4 days until Cash's Birthday)

cute

cute

Cute

A very cool tree

Paul LOVES gloves

R.V. Time!

Our friends 'made' us borrow this RV and go on an overnighter

All buckled in

We went up to Left-hand Fork

And brought the dirt bikes

of all sizes

and shapes

This track was perfect

The Grovers dropped by for a little while

Jake had a blast

And the next day Cash turned 4!

Happy Birthday Cash!

What a great way to have a birthday! (and a simple way!)

And then...Troy crashed. On his dirt bike.  Really hard.  We found him lying on the ground with a face covered in blood not getting up.  Yes, he was wearing a helmet, which most likely saved his life.  The blood was all from his nose, which probably hit the handlebars.  God sent angels to watch over this boy today.

So that was our cue

that it was time to go home

Most of them were asleep within minutes

A VERY fun trip!

Scripture: "We ought to Obey God and not men" -Acts 5:29

Song: "Ere you left your room this morning, did you think to pray?

In the name of Christ our Savior

did you sue for loving favor

as a shield today?
