Our Caribbean Vacation

Larkin at the airport in Fort Lauderdale....Is he cute or what? He
had his Superman Backpack and his Batman Duffle Bag....the Superman Backpack was full of toys for the trip! He is just too cute! I could just reach out and squeeze him right now just looking at this picutre! On the Ship, the Imagination, he had a blast. He made many new friends, young and old alike. The Imagination was a good name for the ship my little man cruised on....he loved it and was busy here "karate chopping" the water.....being the SuperHero that he is.....
Here he is on the Pirate Ship with his new girlfriend, Riley in Grand Cayman. She is from Alabama (but don't hold that against her). She is cute as a button and has an adorable older sister, Walker. Walker and Riley not only walked the plank like Larkin, but they jumped from the top of the ship into the ocean as well. Larkin said they are "fearless!" They "swabbed" the deck and were just so cute!

Saturday (the barn cleaning) and Sunday Church

So, this Saturday, we cleaned out the barn after 2 and 1/2 years of sheer procrastination! Seth and Katie came, Jason and Brandy (and the spoils go to this couple -- who seemed to load up the most to go home with!). We were all there (kids too) in our "it doesn't matter if this ever comes clean again" clothes! (Lori, Burt, and John were house hunting -- I wish John had been there though as the kids seemed to have a great time "treasure hunting!"). So, the barn is pretty clean and Jeff's blood pressure seems to be more normal today.....I found many things that I had simply forgotten about and many things that I have needed (but had no idea where to look to find it!)....Now, I have about 10 boxes to bring inside and find a home for those particular items...

Boy, how I wish I had pictures of this day! It was actually fun!

Then we took the babies bowling....they had a blast (I have a few picts of this, but need to get them off my camera). Brookie jumped up and down everytime she bowled....and you won't believe this but Brooklyn, Brandon, and Larkin all got a spare.....

Sunday morning we found ourselves at Sunday School talking about David (and how you can pass down junk or you can pass down blessings to your children and their children and their children's children....). Then when we went in to church what song were they singing except...an Everlasting God....the same song we sang over and over and the Living Proof Conference in Jacksonville. It is an awesome song full of power and grace!

Beth Moore Conference in Jacksonville (sorry Lori, I had to borrow the pictures from you).

Travis Cottrell and the Praise Team from Nashville, TN

I was fortunate enough to head south two weekends in a row. Mama, Lora, and I went to see Beth Moore in Jacksonville, Fl. We had a great time! I am afraid that I am truly guilty of loving the praise and worship songs.....Music moves me and praise and worship songs move me in a way that nothing else does. I'm sure it is the Praise and Worship that gets to me everytime. Thanks to Lori and her friends, we had a room on the same floor as her group (and got to hear Sara laugh until 2 am -- it was her birthday!). We also had seats on the front row....Mama's knees thank you! Isn't God AWESOME! That is the FAVOR of GOD which is of itself an awesome experience! See how it came together? It was purposefully and divinely planned...and they were blessed! Grace, blessings, favor, and there's more.......so much more......

Ok, so I'm a little behind on picts....

Here are some pictures of my wonderful family from Easter. Larkin actually spent Easter with his cousins in Georgia. This was his 1st Easter with everyone. The last Easter we went home was 2003 right after the twins were born and I was VERY pregnant with Larkin.. He had such a great time this year (I think we all did)! Thanks Aunt Laura for the Easter Sunday Dinner at your house! We all had such a good time! Larkin doesn't get to play with his cousins as much as he would like....what a great day we all had! Thank you God for this wonderful family!
