And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Luke 18:1
We've been keeping busy. It seems there's always enough to do, that is for sure! Tomorrow is a youth day for deer hunting here in Virginia, if I am not mistaken. Mandi is pretty excited about it.
This weekend is the Apple Festival here in Chilhowie.
Please continue to remember our family in prayer.

Saturday mornin'
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater. He sendeth more strength when the labors increase. To added affliction He addeth His mercy: to multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
It's been a long night as all the little ones have kept me awake at some point! Maybe I can get a nap in at some point today.
Last week as I was passing Jeffy by, he was running towards a mouse in the kitchen (I HATE MICE!) and saying "Doggie" as he was trying to play with it. Nikki got rid of it for me, such a brave soul! A little while later he was looking under the couch saying, "Mouse!" It was our little dog who had snuck in when someone came in. So cute!!
I have been teaching the little ones the 10 Commandments recently and they are doing so good. It just blesses my heart.
Daniel turned 19 on Thursday. He is such a wonderful son. He's a blessing to me. Such a nice guy. Ok, I am slightly biased, being his mom and all! Due to conflicting schedules, we are celebrating with his cake today. Happy Birthday, Daniel!
Have a great day. God is faithful!

Please remember our family
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Little Lacey turned 3 yesterday, so we now have two 3 year olds and a 1 year old. They are all very precious. We celebrated with a chocolate chip cookie cake. I'll see if Naomi can post a picture or two when she gets up!
Our family is in serious need of prayer. Please remember us.

Living life..
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. Luke 9:43a
Our little Lacey will be three on the 9th of this month. She is so sweet and beautiful, and LOVES shoes. Thinking of getting her some new pink John Deere boots..her others are too small!
Daniel will be 19 on the 15th of the month. He is thinking of going to school, something he thought he'd never do after high school. He's precious to me..I love teasing him. He's lots of fun!
Ok, so a little info on my birthday kids. Here's a bit about the rest of us..
Starting with hubby..he took a new job last month doing commercial carpentry. Working super hard. He's getting skinny..I keep teasing him that I need to get a job where he works!
Nikki (22) is still playing music, works part-time as an assistant to a wonderful elderly woman (she jokes that she's getting paid to take bread baking lessons), still making beautiful quilts..still home!
Courtney (20) works part-time at the little country store, still banjo pickin', getting ready to take off for a two week's trip to her dear friend, Heidi's in Wisconsin, and is planning to start school the next semester as well.
Daniel (18) update above.
Naomi (17) is hoping to start harp lessons soon! She is planning to begin classes herself this year to become an EMT. She has been a super big help to me especially lately as the older girls get busier and busier. (But then she's always been a worker!)
Caleb (14) is growing up way too fast. He is back to school again and plugging away. I think he will end up graduating early like Naomi. He is great with the little ones..recently was given a drum set..oh my.
Mandi (11) is back to school as well. She is a great mommy's helper, and especially adores little Lacey. She is just precious, and enjoys all things girl! Hoping to get her in piano lessons very soon.
Jed (3) is a little monkey and so smart. Hard to believe his early health problems. Sweet as a pancake! He knows most of the 10 Commandments, is learning his ABC'S, sings JESUS LOVES ME and alot of other things, too! (All 3 of my littles are learning THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE in our little homeschool preschool).
Lacey (2) update above!
Jefferson Davis(1) smart, cute, a little mean, but so special! He's talking really good. I think he looks more like his daddy than any of them. He loves to play with my hair (and poor Naomi's, too!) He's also a keeper!
And me..I am busy being a wife and mom to this precious family God has given me.( It's a big job, isn't it?!) And am amazed at the mighty power of God.
Well, time is running out and I have a busy day ahead of me. Thanks for dropping by to "see" us! I'll keep trying to get in here more often..
