Caleb Turns Five Years Old

On Friday, August 1st we had the wonderful opportunity of celebrating Caleb’s fifth birthday with friends at Severns Valley Baptist Church at the In-door playground and rock climbing wall.

When Caleb woke up the morning of his birthday, he thought he had to wait until his birthday party to turn five. He jumped for joy when we told him the entire day was his birthday and that he was already five when he climbed out of bed. He opened a few gifts in the morning from Mommy, Daddy, and grandparents and he hung out with Daddy before the big event.

THANK YOU! THANKS! GRACIAS!

No Matter The Cost

I’m starting to read a book with some courageous men in my life called, No Matter The Cost by Vance Brown and felt like sharing a little with the one or two of you visiting this site.

This book was inspired by a guy who found a group of guys that he could be completely open with and that he could lean on when he needed to. My hope of this book is that it will help me draw closer to God, the men I’m studying with, & my beautiful wife with whom I want to serve like the Bible tells me I need to.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her. -Ephesians 5:25 NASB

Please help me by praying for the men in my group to open themselves to the message in this book, to be open with one another, and to run away from the sins in our lives that try to keep us from being the Godly men we want to be.

I want to be a better tool for God to use in his garden. I want my seeds to serve the Lord with humble hearts. And I want to become one with my wife as we follow Christ for the rest of our lives.

Happy Birthday to Caleb!

This week we celebrated Caleb’s third birthday. We all had so much fun on his special day! A water slide, slip-n-slide, cookie cake, and lots of little friends filled our backyard.

Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us!

It was so cute to hear Caleb sing “Happy Birthday” to himself throughout the week and to see how excited he was the day of his party. We brought out some water slides and let the kiddos cool off as streaming music filled the air. Aunt Lynda created an awesome treasure hunt for all the kids to participate in to help Caleb find his present! A special thanks to all those who helped out; you made the day that much more of a treat for us.

It already seems like Caleb is more mature and fitting right into the role of a three year old. Our little “Baby Caleb” is growing so fast! Here’s a slideshow from his birthday party: Enjoy!
