I had to post this!

Ben and I have sort of started a tradition or habit what ever you want to call it, of sleeping in on saturday mornings and then having pancakes. It is either pancakes or waffles....which ever we are in the mood for. We are getting to be quite conosures. Well this last saturday...we got a little surprise! Maybe God was trying to tell us something, but I don't think I could have done this if I tried.....please tell me that you see what we see in the second picture below!
Us with our pancakes!
I'm not sure how this happened, but Ben and I were rolling laughing.

Its that time of life!

Yes...it has begun, first all our friends were getting married, and now they are having babies! Our good friends Moy and Amy just welcomed Rebecca Kristen Sanchez into the world! Such a cutie.

This is our other friend Anna holding baby Rebecca. Poor little thing broke here coller bone on here way into the world.
There is the proud papa.

Here are some more friends...from left to right Joe, Melissa, Moy, baby Rebecca, Amy (mommy), Ben and Me. We are all pretending to smoke pink chocolate cigars!


Mom and Dad in KY!

I have been a major slacker in posting things lately. So backing up to April.....Mom and Dad Saunders came to visit us! There is a huge conference here in Louisville every other year called "together for the gospel". It has speakers like Piper, Mohler, Mahaney, and McArthur that are all here for....well....the gospel. So Scott brought with him a wonderful friend of the family and a elder from their church back home, Jack Swift. We had such a great time getting to spend time with them. We got to take a trip up to Cincinatti OH while they were here to see the Creation Museum. It has only been open a year, but it is a whole museum opened by the AIG (answers in genesis), which gives archeological evidence for creation. It was so interesting to see the whole gospel layed out in a museum coupled with archeological evidence that supports biblical truth. We learned so much and were very encouraged that a ministry like this is out there.
The conference was from tuesday to thursday for the guys. Jack and Scott also got to go with Ben to some of his classes. We loved being able to show them what life is like for us at this point. While the boys were out, Dena and I planted my very first garden, did some creative cooking, and just relaxed and wondered where the boys were. The whole week was so refreshing.

My garden that my MIL and I planted! It has grown a lot since this
This is my beautiful MIL stopping to smell the flowers. There is a really old Cemetary here in the Ville that has amazing flowers and trees in the spring.


Ben and his mom and the amazing DogWood tree. I love this picture!

A huge T-Rex at the Creation Museum. I learned that they found the T-Rex bones here in Colorado, Montana, and Utah.......I had no idea....I guess I should have paied more attention as a kid in school.
