Life is busy! Lots of fun.  Lots of stuff going on!
Brian has been super busy working on the boys new fort-out/tree house.  Its coming along great. 
Brian is taking the older boys through 1,2,3rd John.  They get to work on that 2-3 nights out the week.  Its been a good thing.
Titus is growing so fast.  6 teeth.  crawling all over.  ma ma ma ma da da da da da ba ba ba ba ba Almost 10 months. Seems to be wheezing AGAIN and has a runny nose.  Also has a yeast (we think) RASH still.  Its been going on far to long.  Trying to treat it now with some essential oil blend because the stuff the dr. gave us hasn’t worked at all.  We notice now more rash spots on his back.  I can’t tell if its ringworm or eczema?! So very frustrating.
I get WEARY trying to figure out what to do and whats the healthy “right” thing to do.  I think I just need to pray about things and just do my best! 
Gideon is now doing simple commands which is so great.  Throw this away.  Go get that ball.  etc…..  Also he’s just now pointing to his nose, ears, mouth, eyes etc… He’s jabbering more which is cute and I hope real words soon.  We will not have therapy home service anymore when he turns THREE.  We have requested one more hour a week of speech in hopes to help him more.  We have a feeling Gideon will be eligible to the school preschool (free).  Not sure yet how that school is or if we for sure want to do this yet for him.  Still in the thinking and praying about it stages.
Adam. Oh where to begin to clear my mind.  I can’t.  My mind is so full right now.  Just trying to do the RIGHT thing.  Trying to let God lead us and show us the right path to take.  It’s a HARD time for him right now.  Him and us.  He is happier at the new school though.  So emotionally this has been a good thing for him.  Please please cover Adam in prayer and for us to make the right decisions about so many things!
Gregory had so much fun with his Great Uncle David (my mom’s brother) when they came out to visit from WA a couple days.  They played CATCH and lots of PINGPONG.  So much fun and memories made.  Pictures to come…… Gregory got CONTACTS! He loves them so far.  Only a week in.  He’s been very responsible so far.  I could never where contacts.  He looks so grown up!! Where has the time gone.  Gregory is awesome at babysitting for us and he’s such a great big helper.  He loves working in AWANA too this year.
Luke Samuel …. what a spunky funny kid he is! Can not believe he’s coughing AGAIN (I really think he must have some sort of allergy when the winds pick up). 
6 more AWANA club nights left here in Fillmore.  We are praying about starting it back at our home church.  We shall see how God works.  I will not be a leader next year.  Realized with the little ones it was too hard to do and be there EACH and every week.  However there is a lot of “behind the scenes” things I can do from home and will help Brian with those things.
Brian and I are reading Heart of Anger and its been a great book so far.  I wish we could read faster or have it in AUDIO.  Trying to put things into practice as we parent.
We just started a new women’s study on Monday nights.  I think its gonna be another really good convicting one about Going deeper still.  We can’t just stay where we are at but we need to GROW and mature in our walk with God.  I soooo desire that in my life!

I think the trampoline is one of the best things we have done.  We have all had so much fun.  I think one of the favorite things is KRAFTYBALL (its what we call it).  We all have a corner and pretty much just rally the ball around and keep it going.  Lots of laughs. Lots of fun. 

See how tall this kid is getting?!?!?!

Gideon can’t wait til this is done.  We can’t either because its unsafe climbing up there with no walls!

At the end of the day……… I’m tired and I LONG for my time with my sweet BRIAN! We love our evenings just chatting, sometimes reading together or watching something just to relax.  We love our family and our busy boys.  Life can be hard.  Trials are tough.  It’s tiring, but God is good and really loves us and desires we LAY IT AT HIS FEET.  If only I would remember this every HOUR of the day.
