Malia started a Prayer Buddy initiative where she pairs people with children in Ethiopia who need prayers. So far, she has found prayer buddies for over 75 vulnerable children! She has designed and is selling t-shirts to raise money for her next trip to Ethiopia so she can meet her brothers' birth family and find more children for Prayer Buddies. She has also sold a plethora of friendship bracelets/keychains. She's proving to be quite the little entrepreneur!

Jalen and Jordan have been running with the cross-country team a couple of days a week, and last Saturday they participated in their first Fun Run for elementary students. Out of about 60 kids, Jordan came in first, and Jalen came in second!

Family Pics...

A week and a half ago, we had a fun little photo session with my sis-in-law, Cheryl. I love my people so much, even if things are crazy and chaotic most of the time. 💖

 

 

It's Fall, Y'all!

This kid. He's been coming up with interesting "jokes" like this: "Why did the excavator run into the dump truck? Because there was a refrigerator on top!" and "Mom! Here's a funny one! The mommy asked the baby why she was crying, and she said, "It's because you're trimming my sides!" He also insists on having a "bednight" snack every night. Look how innocent he seems here:

Ashton works at Emerald Dairy, and this past weekend they had an open house for the community to thank everyone for helping clean up after the tornado that damaged their buildings last spring.

Jordan now has Invisalign braces!

Fall means cool mornings and pretty flowers:

Lily spent the weekend with us, and the girls had fun taking photos of cousins:
