Wow! 18 Years Old!!

We continually thank God for you . . .

Kyle, Caroline, Valerie, and Victoria! 

It has been soooooo fun watching you grow into the unique and Godly young man

and women God has created you to be!

It is so special for us to see you be such close friends,

and watch you walk together through all of life's joys and trials.  

God is going before you,

preparing the way for all the good things He has planned for you!  

Keep your eyes fixed on Him!

You bring us such joy as you "walk in the truth,"
and we love you sooooo much! 

"We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better. We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father."  Colossians 1:9b-12a		.



Caroline and Victoria's Birthday Celebration!

Victoria and Caroline love taking their horses to Long Beach to ride at an arena there,

and on the beach!

First stop is the arena!

 A few of the siblings enjoyed riding a bit as well!

 Then, the ride through town to the beach!

  It is such a fun thing to go together!

On the beach!

 Out to the waves!  

 The rest of the family got busy making something in the sand!

 

Meanwhile, the family is busy . . .

 carving this in the sand!

And playing in the waves!

 And the girls come back from a long ride on the beach!

 What a great day!!!

We love you Caroline and Victoria!

Happy Birthday!
