Today is my beautiful Olivia Joy's 14th birthday. It is a bittersweet day for me cause I'm excited to see my little girl grow up into a young lady, and she is not with me today:( Her and Adrienna went to Grandma and Grandpa Fishers for a couple of weeks where they are having a Great time!) Oh the joys of summer vacation and the blessing of having my parents relatively close by for the first time in 10 years. I had to put the pictures on another post as Olivia is my computer tech and I'm lost without her.
Oh yeah back to my bittersweet moment( see how easily I get distracted!) I'm sad to realize how quickly Life can pass you by. Just yesterday I was enjoying my roly poly curly haired baby girl and now she is a teenager. I still enjoy her but in a different way. She is a great girl and I'm so thankful to have her as my daughter.
As for other news.... we have been on summer vacation for a month now, and I realize I hadn't blogged even once!
Its been relaxing, no rushing , well not in the day time at least, we've had a very busy church schedule with outreaches, revivals, concerts, you get the picture. Its been nice though...We've been to the beach, the county fair, celebrated Father's Day and our 17th anniversary. Summer. I love it! So hopefully soon I can get some pictures up , in the meantime I'm enjoying the kids and reveling in staying up late and sleeping in.

Jesus is Risen!
In light of the Celebration of Jesus Christ Rising from the Dead, what a glorious thing it is to be able to say Jesus is Risen! Let us never forget What an amazing gift of salvation we have been given with His Death and Resurrection.
I must confess lately I've been a little discouraged with what I think should be or even shouldn't be happening in my life, church, etc... But as I look around at the world and the wicked and craziness of it... How can I deny that God has called me and you to tell the world there is a hope and and answer for all this madness, and It is in the Power of the Cross and the Blood. Isn't it amazing that you can read the news and read the bible and see the signs of the times. A couple of guys in our church are in the navy and had to sit and listen yesterday to their CO's tell them how the Don't ask Don't Tell Policy has been repealed in our military, and of course they are supposed to be sensitive and tolerate. Then Drudge Report had a horrific video of two girls beating another girl in a McDonalds, I could barely watch it and it sickened me literally to my stomach, and there were people watching and laughing and I pray God how much more of this wickedness are you going to tolerate? Jesus is coming back People are we Ready? Are we doing His Work? So as we remember and yes celebrate and rejoice in the Risen Savior we have to remember it wasn't just for us but those dying in their sin, there's not much time....Jesus is Risen ....Glory Hallelujah

Spring Break
Hip Hip Hooray Easter Vacation is here! 2 glorious weeks of sleeping in, 3rd week is Tempe conference, but I am so so ready for this break! The kids got out early yesterday and we went bike riding at Coronado, it was a beautiful warm sunny day. We only had one minor casualty, Jessica bit the dust as she was riding as her sisters would say "daredevilish" Poor girl . Just to give you an idea though of how excited the kids are to be on vacation, Arty was asking Isaac if he had any homework to which Isaac replied" Dad I have no homework , I've been set free!" Gotta love that Boy.
And now... a couple of yummy healthy Spring recipes for you.
Crispy Kale
1 bunch of kale rinsed and shaken off, drizzle with a little olive oil, season with garlic,sea salt, and pepper and bake in oven at 350 for 15 mins or until crispy. Tastes like pumpkin seeds and the kids love it!
P.F. Chang cucumbers
slice up cucumbers and drizzle white or red vinegar with garlic seasoning , add enough soy sauce to coat the cucumbers and top with sesame seeds. Yum!
