Today is mine & Cale's 5 year anniversary...dating anniversary that is! This marks the day of our 1st date and the 'rest is history'! Love you Babe! I'm so glad you picked me!

Christmas Party!!!

Jaxon had a fun time at his Chrismtas Party today! It started at 10:30 and ended at 12:00. I wasn't to sure about going b/c I hadn't planned on it. But I'm glad I did. He had so much fun decorating cookies, making a reindeer, and Christmas Cards. Then we got to eat yummy Pizza. The kids were pretty good...I guess it was party day so what would I expect! I'm so used to Jaxon listening that I forget that he's a very good boy. He was so happy that I got to come. I also went to Nicole's class and took a few pix! It was just a fun time!

Birthday Flowers!

MY MOST FAV PIC

The first picture was the very first time we had our picture taken! Gosh how different we look! This next picture was taken the 1st Easter after Cale & I met. Man, where did the time, & my body go? LOL!

MY BIRTHDAY!

Today is my bday! I'm 25! Wow...how the years have gone! My mom rented a local room to have a 'dance' at and we had cake, presents, and fun! Cale even danced with me! What a sweetheart! We even took a silly picture! Thanks Dave & Lou for the idea!

CHRISTmas it almost here!

While Cale and Jax put up the tree, Lou and I wrapped presents! I've got almost all of them wrapped! Gosh Christmas will be here before we know it! I've got to get the last min stuff together!

Thanksgiving, where did you go?

Here's some pix from Thanksgiving...we only went 3 different places and I only ate 2x's! Then we went to see some Christmas lights which we do every year! What fun!

My lil sis turned 7! I can't belive it! I remember when she was born...isn't that only what 'old' people say? LOL! It was at the local skating rink and we skated til we dropped!

Here's some pix from Oct when we had a bombfire...if that's how you spell it...at our church! What fun!

This is when we went to Matt & Jen's a few months ago! We had so much fun! Here's the pix I took!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD & PAPAW!!!!
We celebrated my dad & papaw's bday together b/c they are two days apart...not their age of course!! LOL! They do construction work so we had my aunt make his cake.

Teaching the Youth...

Cale, myself, and another young couple have been teaching back in the youth for almost a year now. About 2 weeks ago one of the other leaders taught about relationships. God put it on my heart to continue on that topic. I had shared my testimony months ago to just the girls, but I knew it was time to share with the whole group. I taught on Sunday & Wed and it went really well. We have a great bunch of youth & I'm really starting to feel more comfortable standing in front of them teaching! I have to remember that I'm there for Jesus and it's not about me, but what God has done in me and brought me through! These aren't the scriptures that I taught on, but we played a game with the youth & these are the ones that came up...

1. Ephesians 2:10 - We are the workmanship of God
2. Joshuah 1:8 - Keep Gods Word before you
3. Psalm 5:12 - All things are possible

Remember it's All about JESUS!

~FAMILY~

We took these pix for my dad's bday present! I just wanted to share with all. The one of Cale, Me, & Jax we might even use for our Christmas pic...Cale's hoping so anyway!

Julie's Bday Party!
My aunt turned 40 yrs young & we decided to have her a surprise party! We rented the local ballroom & started the planning! She's the decorator & so it was a little difficult to not slip & tell her all the fun we were having getting it together. We actually thought of the party a year earlier, but didn't start planning until about 6 months before. We were also planning a wedding so we could be snicky & ask her things like her fav color, decorating tips, etc. So the day before, which happened to be the 4th of July we decorated the ballroom in red & black! It was so pretty & we couldn't wait til she saw it! It was so hard not to tell her that night! The plan was for her friend to ask her to go out an hour away for dinner for her bday! Well the plan fell through b/c Jules said no, she didn't want to go! GRRR....she wasn't playing well with others! So her sister, the one that was planning it, said she was just going to have to make an emergency call & tell her she needed a bow made for a wedding cake she was doing! She call her last min & Jules was like,'You owe me, b/c I'm about to head out of town, but I'll come help you!' Her sis had told her she had to do a cake for a 'wedding' (my aunt does cakes & is really good at it if I do say so myself) & the bride & groom forgot to get a topper for the cake so Julie was going to have to do a last min bow! No one in the fam can do a good bow so we were hoping she would take the bait! She did & when she walked up the stairs she was so surprised! Her sis had went to the local stores & picked out a few outfits for her to put on! It was so much fun! Julie is always doing stuff for the family & that day it was her time in the spotlight!

My sis and her fiance' finally tied the knot! They have been dating as long as Cale and I have been together. She met Dave a week before I met Cale! I'm so glad that she's happy and that I have another brother! They are a blessing to Cale & I! I'm so excited because we all can go on trips and stay for a while! Hopefully we can talk them into going skiing next year with us! I went with my youth group and had so much fun! Well, here's some pix of the wedding shower and the wedding!

This is other b-day party we had for Jaxon. We decided since we don't get to see Grant on his bday to combine the "Jones" boys together!
