SO EXCITED FOR ALL THIS WONDERFULNESS TO HAPPEN!!!!

'in which i try to somehow put this month into words'
yup. the thing is-HOW???
Okay, well let's start somewhere!
On the 15th we left on vacation, and got back the 19th! It was so much fun!! So much swimming and pizza! XDD
There's also been a lot of times where i am asking God what He's doing. Why [.....] is happening? It's very complicated and personal but we would really appreciate if you prayed for us. <33
Also remembering that God says to count all trials as joy!! <3
We started school the 28th, and that was a pretty awesome day! Lilliana is in preschool, Rylan Kindergarten, Caden 1st grade, Elias 2nd grade, Levi 3rd grade, Josh 4th grade, me finishing up 7th and Ashley and Dylan just went and graduated WAIT FOR ME you two!! Only 3 more years...

I just really cannot believe that August is over! That the autumn season is here once again. That Micah will be 1 in two months exactly. That 2018 is sneaky up so fast. That Oct. camp is right around the corner. (my fave) That summer is over. yayyyyyyy!! *runs around in circles*
I CANNOT WAIT FOR FALL AND W.I.N.T.E.R!!!!!!!!

okay, here ya go, random stuffs like usual. ;D



RANDOM\\ LAUGHS

Lilli sees Micah's mouth: "HE LOST ALL OF HIS TEETH AND ONLY HAS TWO LEFT!!!!!"

Going to town to get formula and coming back with 4 baby ducks.....#onlyus #sisters #Ashley

Lilli: If you give me just 2 PENNIES i will BUY you A HUNDRED YUMMY THINGS!!!!

Watching Twister kill and eat the mouse..."Ohhhh but it's so cute, maybe we could just keep it and get him another one!!" -Mom

Lilli: wait, when will I turn one???

Mom: Has anyone seen my purse that I always lose??

Lilli: *picks up camera* Ohhh, this is the cheese-thing!!

*are talking about pets for Elias* Dad: There's a  parakeet or you can just buy a frozen rat . And then thaw it and give it CPR...
Me: *busts out laughing* yeah... "1 2 3" hahaha haha (IT WAS JUST SO FUNNY WE WERE LAUGHING HARDD.) 😂😂😂

^these are random pics thrown in with NE pics ;D^

Hello all! I was reading in my Bible this morning and found some verses that I felt like I should share with you. <33

Joel 2:10// The earth shall quake before them, the heavens shall tremble: the sun and moon shall be dark, and the stars withdrawn their shining.
11-And the Lord shall utter His voice before his army, for his camp is very great, for he is strong that executeth his word: Fro the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, who can abide it?
12-Therefore, saith the Lord, turn ye even unto me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. 
13-And rend your heart, turn unto the Lord your God: For he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and to great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

21-Fear not O land: be glad and rejoice, for the Lord will do great things.
