A wedding

Well, it took me long enough to figure out how to actually get this many pictures up on a post, BUT I DID IT.

 Spent the entire day, had babies running around with dirty diapers, house a mess, pj's on until noon..... but i did it! Oh the sweet feeling of accomplishment!

The only problem is that the pictures aren't in order how they happened. You have to look at the first three pics and then go to the end of the pictures and work your way backwards OR you could go to my flicker site and go to Sets "Colton's Wedding"

Not sure why they are from last to first but that's for another time. ; )

Hope you enjoy looking through them. I would love for you to leave a comment.

Letting go

Yesterday I did one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life......I put my 19 year old on a plane to begin a new chapter of his life, without us. It's always painful to let your children go but think there's extra pain involved in the lives of missionaries who have to let theirs go across the ocean. My one hope is in the scripture that Jesus promises to, "give you back a hundred fold in this life and in the life to come" to all those who give up fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, "children" for the sake of the Gospel.

My hope is that in letting Colton "go" he will be radically changed and set on fire for our Father and come back to Thailand or wherever God wills, and give his life for the Gospel of Jesus. When I set my sights on this, letting go seems easy.

Father, I give you my first born son. Take him as an offering.....do with him what you will, refine him and make him pure gold in YOUR hand.

I love you, Colton!

Colton's graduation pictures

We thought this day would never come..........but now that it has, I've often thought, "Where did the time go??? It all happened so quickly!" Now my baby is a man and prayerfully we've made him ready to face the world. The portrait of childhood is finished and he will continue life on a new canvas.....one of adulthood. We pray that God would be with him as he makes decisions and that he would be a man that loves God and fears God. I love you, Colton! I'm so proud of the man you've become.

Catching boa, cooking boa, eating boa...

Sorry these pictures came in in the wrong order............. the boys went to Naratiway and spent the weekend with Uncle Todd and Aunt Carrie. While they were there, they caught an 11ft. boa that had been eating Todd's chickens! Then they had the great idea to cook and eat the boa!!! Just call them Tom and Huck!

Pictures of my boys

I had to post these two pictures of Colton and Chase! I LOVE it! These two are a hoot!!!

Bank! Has he grown into a young man or what?!?

Let the music move you

These are my big boys! They love to go up to our church and practice on their guitars. This one is Chase Tanner Wow! Now that's talent

The Nazarite vow ends

  The Nazarite vow ended on January 23rd. The team went to Pang Nga, where the Pruetts live, and ended the vow. The men on the team laid hands on Clinton and Todd and then shaved their heads and beards..... I have my husband back! 

Clinton and Chase

  As you can see Clinton is a new man with a clean shave!!!
