And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another.

My three youngest crammed into the bigger cart at Target. They stayed in there pretty much the whole time.

Me + food = pure joy
I found a new way to make pizza. This stuff is GOOD!


Sariah is 6! Good friends and their families came to celebrate.


Watching him eat brings a lot of laughter to our home. He even has pizza in his ear!

happiness

I know this doesn't look like much, but this is my bed prepared for sleep. I folded down the top heavy blanket so we wont sweat and than removed all the extra pillows. this way when I go to bed I wont have to make a lot of noise or bother the chidlers.

Last week

I tried to post these pix last week sometime, I only tried like 4 times! So here they are now. I left my camera on the boat, when we went on a camping trip this weekend. So I can't upload any of those for a while. However, I do have a camera on my phone, but it may take me a while to figure out how to put those on here, too.
SUN! We haven't seen the sun ALL summer, and now after 32 days or so of straight rain we are getting our sun. This was last week, we had about 3 days of this. And now today it is HOT! Miracles happen everyday.

The Little Holts make me happy!


Ezra should recognize this one. This is our major project this week. It brings me joy and Jacob!
And I love that Joseph is helping.
