Fun new things

We had the opportunity to spend some time with Pastor and Mrs. Sexton. They come to my dad's church for the Regional Pastor's College as well as the church anniversary. Eric and I were able to go to the conference and see them there. Then that weekend, they come up to our neck of the woods to see the camp property as well as our church. It was a lot of fun to show them around and Eric really enjoyed being able to see them again.

Last week we celebrated Eric's birthday. The church had a party for him and then we went to Spokane the day after and my family had a little "party" for him.

We also got to have family pictures taken =( it is not fun being pregnant and having people take your picture and then you are suppose to buy them???????? Well, my family had a lot of fun with that one and I didn't like any of them =( Oh well, I guess it comes with the territory.

My mom also took a picture of me and is suppose to be posting it some time soon. That way you can all see what I look like now.

We had a Dr. appointment today and she said that all is well and the baby is growing. She also informed me that I had gained 11 pounds since the last appointment. Boy, that made me feel good. =( They also said that it wasn't so bad because I have only gained 16 pounds the whole time.

Well, hope you enjoyed hearing all about my fat stage and guess what? They tell me I am going to get Bigger.

back in the swing of things

Eric and I had the opportunity to go back to Michigan to visit his family. We had such a good time. We had not been able to visit them since the wedding so this was a great treat for all of us. We were also very blessed to be able to attend Eric's home church and spend some time with the friends there.

The Lord also blessed us with some baby things. Eric's brother and sister in law loaded us up with some very needed things. God is so great and it is awesome to see how He uses others to meet our needs.

We are preparing for a community event with Bob Holmes. He is a one man volleyball team that travels and speaks in schools about staying away from drugs and alcohol. He also presents the Gospel. He will be with us on September 9th so please pray that we have a blessed turn out and that God will be able to work and we will see souls saved.

Boy or Girl???????????????????

Well the long awaited news. We are going to have a boy.

busy busy busy

I know it has been a little while =( Eric and I have been staying busy. Our vacation Bible school starts on Monday and we have been getting ready for that. Our theme is Dino Detectives, Digging for God's Truth. Please pray for us and that the Lord will work. God has been blessing our ministry and we have seen several people saved over the last 6 weeks as well as 6 follow the Lord in baptism. We are so excited to see the Lord working. We have a Baby appointment on the 28th. Please pray as we are hoping to make an appointment for the 15th to see if we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Every one tells us that they think it is a boy so we will see what happens. =) We are all very excited.

Baby update 1

Well, we are going to the Doctor on the 19th for the offical due date. One of my friends brought over this cool little thing that has headphones and you put it on you tummy. Well, you are suppost to be able to hear the heart beat when you are far enough along. Guess what?????????????? We heard the heart beat. So, I think the baby will be here a little sooner than we thought. For all of you wondering, If we have a boy we are going to name him Landon, if we have a girl we are going to name her Mykayla. I will keep you all posted as we go. Oh, I all most forgot. for those of you who can't wait to see me fat. I have a baby bump. Just a little one but my summer shirts are not fitting the way they are suppost to. I will post pics soon.

Spring Revival

We just finished up our Spring Revival with Dr. Larry Clayton. The Lord really blessed the meeting and we are looking forward to seeing what God is going to do in the days to come. Yes, I am posting a lot today because we are at mom and dads so I can actually use the web. The country is great but the city has its blessings too.

Baby?

Yes, the news is true. We are going to have a baby. =) we have our first Dr. appointment on the 19th so please pray that all goes well. We are both very very excited. We both are happy to be parents but also a little nervous at this point. God is so good to us.

Spring?

Well, I know it has been a while and I don't have pics. We had a Valentines Banquet in February and it went very well. Mom and Dad drove up for it and Dad spoke. It was great. So, Spring is suppost to be on it's way, but it snowed Saturday and Monday. It is sunny today so we are hoping it will stay that way so the snow will melt. It is so beautiful up here. Because of the aboundance of snow we are seeing a lot of wild life coming down from the mountains. There have been quite a lot of deer killed on teh Highway and we have seen many moose in town. The deer will run away from you, but the moose just look at you and seem to say "bring it on" Eric has some pics so I will try to get them posted. It is lots of fun. The Lord is really blessing and we are working for a great day on Easter.

The Newlyweds Are Snowed In!!!

Christa's Friends Cyndi and Justin and Their 3 Boys Braved The Roads To Go Sledding After Justin Arrived Home From Iraq. They Had A Great Time!



Looks Like Great Fun!



Cyndi!!!



Christa and Eric are pretty much snowed in. They do not have access to internet where they are living. Lota-Wata Bible Camp is in Western MT. They often lose power but are having a great time! The sledding and snowmobiling is great! They live about 20 miles from their church and sometimes the roads are very bad. Spring is on the way! Enjoy the pictures! The picture above is the road to church!



Above Christa and Eric's house (The Gold One!) buried in the snow. They have to be plowed out at times.
