Family Christmas Pictures

Josiah made a Christmas tree with his mini cookies.

This is our Christmas tree! Mom just wanted a little one this year, but I still want a BIG one!

Here is my Christmas picture. Well, I was hoping for a cold Christmas,
but it is pouring down rain and I do not think the weather is going to change!

My mom! When my dad gets back from Africa I will get a picture of them together!

This is Silas grave all decorated with poinsettias. cute isn't it?

Smile ok! I think they were getting tired of the flash in there faces!

Buddy Buck is 1 of the many clowns in our family. I think every Family has 1 of those!

Hunter is full of mischief. Anybody with a 5 year old boy has that problem.

Timothy acting a LITTLE silly!

Caleb posing for his picture!

Josiah, do all boys hate pictures!

The four youngest! Quad trouble?

Sissy did you know?

I was listening to the song Mary Did You Know. Well, we know what the song is talking about and I now have a totally different out look. Here is my out look.
1.'' Mary did you know that your baby boy has walked were angels trod''. Well, Silas is walking as we speak where angels trod.
2.''Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters". Silas has met my Saviour, getting jealous, are you?
3."He will give sight to a blind man, he will calm a storm with his hands". Silas has met those blind men God made whole.
4."When you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God".
Hebrews13:2b says ''Some have entertained angels unawares.'' Maybe, just maybe, we entertained an angel (Silas) for two and a half years. Maybe we were kissing the face of an angel. He was precious.
5.''The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again". Silas has seen the dead that God rose from the dead, he has also seen the deaf man.
Well, those are the thoughts I think of when I hear the song. Here is the song if you have never heard it. I truly love this song now

Buddy Bucks (Stonewalls) Birthday

I wanted to start out with a picture of my Buggy,
because I miss him so much.Buddy had his 4th birthday on the 11th.
Some of the older boys made him an arsenal of weapons.

I do not have a picture of his new Cars bed sheets and pillow case
but here are some of the others. This is Buddy, if you are not real sure which one of my brothers he is.

This is Lightning McQueen (in the center) and his two racing opponents.

This is his cake, isn't it cute? Thank you, Lydia, for helping with the cake!

Buddy with his cake.

He got a bicycle, as you can see, it is Cars also.

Buddy thinks he's a cowboy now, and is always toting his gun and shooting us.

My Buggy

Here are some of my favorite pictures of my Buggy.He was so joyful and happy.

He liked eating waffles.
Goodnight, I am a big boy I turn off my own light!
Good morning! Goldfish are a good breakfast right?
I sure love my buggy.

He was soooooo goofy and cute!

I'm really cute & special. The only boy at the ladies meeting!

We had lots of car rides together!!!

I can't think up a title, so here it is!

Silas is so goofy. Every time he would stand straight and smile,
I would lift the camera, and he would give me a goofy face as I took the picture!
He's such a BOY!!!!
Thank you Aaron for all those hours you spent cheering Silas,
it's all paying off!!

We all went on a short trip to a meeting with Daddy,
and here are some pictures of us and our friends.
And, a few at home too! This is Silas, he is so cute in a suit. This is Buddy, he is so handsome. This is Josiah, he is the oldest boy in our family.
And he doesn't really like to be called cute anymore.

This is Timothy in his Sunday suit.
And my other brothers were gone with Daddy.

Why the Name

I was trying to think of a name for my blog, but could not come up with a name I liked. It was late and I went to bed, before I fell asleep I asked God to help me find a name. I woke up singing "In Christ Alone", and I thought, "okay maybe that is the name God wants me to use". I kept doing my chores, and picked up a CD case to put away, and the words In Christ Alone stuck out. I said, okay God, I know what you want me to name my blog. That is how God showed me what to name my blog.
In Christ Alone means more to me now, than it has ever before. Through these last few months, with everything that has gone on with Silas, I realized that it is "In Christ Alone" that I need to be every day. I knew that already, but having to deal with the things I have has made me depend on Christ Alone more and more.

My little cute men

Aint I so Cute
My Little man & Buddy Buck!
I love cooking for my family so I had fun!
Silas was hungry he said just give me the salad!
