Kindergarten graduation

Jordan loves his teacher, Ms. Cox. He learned so much from her. She taught her class wonderful things in fun, creative ways. The students were kissing their brains throughout the school year. Ms. Cox's class received the most Patriot Bucks (good behavior certificates awarded by other teachers and staff) in all of Jack Elementary. Jordan had a wonderful experience in kindergarten. We are so thankful for Ms. Cox and love her dearly.

Great friends in kindergarten

MaMaw & PePaw are so proud of this graduate

Jordan, you bring so much joy and laughter to our family with your sincere love for others and all of your silly ways. You were so nervous to start kindergarten and look at you now...much more confident - you surprised us all with your performance in The Three Piggy Opera! You are always eager to help and be a good friend. We love you very much and are proud of you. You will do great in first grade!

Perfect Gift

"Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies." Psalms 36:5


Jordan's gift to me for Mother's Day


Luke's gift to me for Mother's Day

The boys made these for me at school on the same day for Mother's Day. They know how to spell Ecuador correctly because they have proudly worn their colorful braided "Ecuador" bracelets on their ankles since we returned from our trip to Quito in October.

I could not have asked for a more perfect gift. This gift was from the Lord who hears my prayers and continues to reassure me of His love and faithfulness. I have prayed that our kids will be excited about our new adventure, and I praise God for the peace and joy He has given in our home. There are tears and difficult conversations as we prepare to leave our home in Tyler, but there is also an excitement on this journey.

A Very Special Sunday

Luke's baptism: Sunday, April 27 at Grace Community Church


Luke chose the verse, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" to share with our church. At Grace Community Church, fathers are encouraged to baptize their children. This special privilege reflects the important responsibility God places upon a father to be the pastor of his family. What a special day to watch Casey baptize our oldest son!


We are excited that our precious friends, Caleb and Josh Glenney, were baptized by their dad, Chris on the same special Sunday. After church, we celebrated Caleb, Josh, and Luke's baptism at the Glenney's house with our families and friends.

Our wonderful friends - thanks for coming!

From here to there

We are in the middle of another exciting and fun baseball season!! Here is another little detail from the Lord to help get Luke and Jordan excited about our new adventure. Jordan is playing on the Texas Rangers representing where we live now and Luke is playing on the Chicago Cubs representing where we will live for 5 weeks after baseball season. Our training starts May 31 in Elgin, Illinois which is outside of Chicago. Thank you God for continuing to give Luke and Jordan excitement with big changes coming.

A Champion in our Home

We would like to proudly present, Molly - our Potty Champion!!! She has had absolutely no interest in potty training until 2 weeks ago when we were in the middle of painting the inside of our home and preparing for our garage sale. Oh well, it was crazy then, but we are thankful now. Way to go Molly - we are all so proud of you!!!
