David Crowder Interview

the man himself!!! mr. david crowder. smart man. good interview.

isaac misses mackenzie. he looks so cute with his new hair cut. 

mario's the man. he's a wicked bass player and he's got a tough last name. good luck jess kershashistazinator. 

katie and mackenzie i miss your heckeling. 

there's the happy couple, mario and jess. jess walked down the aisle to an incubus tune. that was a new one for me, but it was very cool. i hate the organ anyways. 

we went to a wedding this weekend and saw some friends from our old church. this is Kara holding DJ. 

its a bit blurry but he is soo cute. we took this picture outside of patrice's house before she shipped off to  

take off your bib.

so we were in church, and our teaching pastor, rob, was preaching. i like when rob preaches because he is a no-nonsense kinda guy. there is no show, just truth, sometimes blunt, like a bat. that's why i love it. well he hit an area hard that needs to be hit in churches. its the "i'm not being fed" crowd. we have all heard them. complaints that the pastor isn't dishing out what he should to the congregation. well rob's response was, "if you're not being fed, take off your bib and put on an apron." oh snap!!!

what a sneaky sneaky church

so we got a phone call earlier this week from a couple at our church, brian and suzanne, who have been teaching us some things about making a budget and all. they said that they had something that could help us with our budget, and wondered if they could stop by. we said yes. then our pastor, kendall, and his wife julie, stopped by unannounced right before brian and suzanne were supposed to arrive. coincidence? i think not. we were clueless as to what would unfold, and thought to ourselves, 'aren't we popular tonight'. brian and suzanne came in with a bucket, topped with balloons and filled with cards that said "we love isaac" on them. they proceeded to tell us that each card represented a financial donation towards isaac's medical debt. they then pulled out a magnadoodle with a number written on it that was the total amount raised for isaac. $11,000! at this point they revealed that they have been raising these funds for the past five months! it is in an account at our church ready to pay off the hundreds of medical bills incured over the past two and a half years with isaac. we are praising God as we sort out the hundreds of bills we have. i love my church! not because they gave us money, but because they loved our son, and us so much.

isaac's new skill

so earlier this week, isaac started jumping, and actually leaving the ground! he holds my hands and jumps, and then lifts his feet off the ground! i remember the doctors words, "i am not sure if he will ever learn to walk, or talk." ha! isaac is showing those doctors a few things. i have learned so much from that little guy.

a collision of pride and humility

so today at church jerry, one of our guitar players who is wicked awesome at guitar, one who has 50 years experience of guitar, one who has been inducted into the bluegrass hall of fame, asked me if we could get together to show him a few things on guitar sometime because i am really good. wow. that's all i can say to that.

i'm still here

i successfully started a safe fire in my backyard. it was great. dave cooley (bob the hippo) helped me, and it turned out great, no yellow smoke or explosions or singed hair to speak of.

city boy country fire round two

so i am having a bon fire at my house again tonight. and if i remember corectly, last time 2 liters of gasoline was too much. also 40 punds of gras and leaves makes for a smokey fire that can get me in trouble.

so here i go again, i will attept to start a fire in my backyard again. this may be my last posting.

his cousin samantha is real cute. he calls her sammy, or baby sam.  

kangaroo shot. 

he loves his mama. i love his mama too! 

he is intrigued by the monkeys 

he is laughing at the monkeys and calling them sissies. every thime our dog runs around and barks, we call her a sissy, so now anythime anything else runs about, it is a sissy, and gets laughed at. 

our family and a llama butt 

i know its a cheap zoo, but come on! 

he's so very cute. 

his nana and papa helped him feed the goats 

he is hugging a goat. how sweet. 

we went to potter park zoo, where isaac loved to feed the goats, and chase them too. 

isaac missed his swing so much while we were away. here he is enjoying every second of swing time. if we try to get him out, he pulls the red seat belt back up and buckles back up. 

our dog is a hoss. she has ripped through three collars, one being a chain, she has also ripped through two leashes, and a rope. here she is playing fetch with a tree. she is a smaller dog, but she is pretty beefy. 

isaac loves his doggie. she is so good with him. this is a picture of the reunion after 16 days apart. she has settled down so much. thanks mom n dad.
