Gavin & Avari

Gavin turned 4 this year, I can't believe it! Time has flown by and he is already in Pre-K! He is a sweet boy. He has his moments of disobedience and all that, but I love him so much. I can't wait to see how God will use his fun personality. His favorite thing right now is Disney Cars 2. He has all of the cars & plays with them everyday. He has a fantastic imagination & loves his Daddy so much, they have a special bond & I love it.

Avari turned 1 this year. She is 18 months going on 5. She is such a litte adventurous toddler who gets in to everything & makes a game out of anything. She has the sweetest smile & spirit. She loves her brothers so much. Her smile can melt my heart at any moment of the day. She loves Elmo and loves to sing & dance. I pray every day that she will grow up to be a woman of God. She has so much to offer & I can't wait to see her use her talents!

I Love my children so much & I pray that I can give them my best and show them how the Lord wants us to live our lives. Thank you God for blessing me with beautiful children, & for filling my home with so much love!!

Jonah Liam Rose

Our little Jonah Liam Rose was born on June 26th 2012 weighing in at 8 pounds 6 ounces 21 1/4 inches long. He was our biggest baby with a full head of black hair. I think he gets that from his daddy. He is such a blessing but was a complete surprise. We had no idea that when Avari was 6 months old, we would be getting this amazing news that we were expecting again! God knew what he was doing yet again, I can't imagine my life withouth this sweet little guy. Our lives have changed now that we have three kids. Some days it is hard to find a balance. But I know soon our kids will be grown and won't want much to do with us. So thank you to God who gave us this beautiful blessing and for always taking care of us. I am so thankful that God chose me to be the mother of this amazing son who is full of life, joy, love, & so darn cute!

Avari Bella Rose

My sweet baby girl was born February 27th. She weighed 7pounds 3ounces and was 21 inches long. She is so beautiful, and has a hilarious personality. Avari is always smiling and cooing. Her new favorite thing to do is scream loudly & blow spit bubbles. She loves her brother Gavin so much & he can't get enough of her. I'm so blessed to have them as my children. Life with two children isn't that much different. At first it was hard to get used to, but now it's a breeze. She is already four months old, the time has flown by so fast, she is already rolling over and starting to sit up. She is so curious and interested in toys and sounds and especially laughing at her silly brother. I am so happy & so blessed to have such a beautiful family. My prayer is that she will grow up to be a woman of God & follow after His heart.

Alot Has Changed

It has been almost one year since I have written anything here. God has blessed us with so much this past year. Paul & I grew at a couple & as a family. Paul, Gavin & I got a new job as pastors. We LOVE it! Gavin loves having his own home and space, and he has his 2nd birthday in our new home. Also, we are expecting in February. :) We are having a little girl. So excited!! We suffered a miscarriage last October and an Ectopic pregnancy last Jan. So we are thrilled that God gave us another opportunity to be responsible for another little life. God is faithful and so wonderful! Paul & I went through alot this past year, but we are so thankful for it. We really learned a lot about Faith and our new journey has just begun. Thank you God for taking such amazing care of us and giving us what we need in perfect time.

DIET + EXCERCISE

I am going to try and lose weight. I've been doing excercises, but that alone doesn't work. So now I have to cut out all sugar and all breads. I am going to give it two weeks and see how much weight I lose. Also I am cutting out pop and diet pop. Hopefully this will finally work for me. I am going to give it my all and not give in to sugar or bread! I am also going to stop eating after 5:00 p.m.

Moving

We are leaving in 18 days! Wow this went by fast. I can't even believe it! I'm very excited though. This is going to be a wonderful change for us, and a new exciting adventure. Almost everything is packed and we just have a few last minute things to take care of. We are not sure where we will be living or what job we will have. But we have faith that God has it all under control, He already knows what is going to happen. His plan is all ready, we just have to be patient. But goodbye Minnesota, hello California!!!!
