Noah's Ark at the Skirball

We went to the Noah's Ark at the Skirball Exhibit on the 10th of April, and had a blast! The kids were so interested in every little thing they saw. If you haven't been there, it is a hands on exhibit, and the more they touch the better! What more can a kid ask for? The first group of pictures is of the people that went...and the second group of pictures is just a small part of the exhibit! We will be going again!

FIELD TRIP ~ LA ZOO

A few of us California Home Schooling Moms decided to take a field trip to the

LA Zoo on Friday. My hubby Chris, was our token husband and photographer.

It was an interesting visit to the zoo, to say the least,

but I really shouldn't get into too much details

...lets just say Spring is truly in the air!

In Loving Memory

We miss you Logan~

It's been one year to the day since you went home to be with Jesus

in heaven. Though we know we will see you again one day,

we miss you and your smile here on earth!

Wyatt & Lukas say "HI"

You are forever in our hearts!

God is Faithful!

Good news in our home today...Our little Lukas received Jesus as his Savior! It was so sweet...we were listening to a radio station in the car, when a lady on the radio said, that she had come to the Lord when she was 11 years old. Lukas then asked, "Do I have to wait 'til I'm 11 years old to come to the Lord, Mommy?" I said, "No." He then asked me, "Then can I come to Him now Mom?'' I asked him "Do you understand what it means to do that?" He said, "Yes, I'm a WRETCHED sinner and I need a Savior, and Jesus is the only One that can save me from my sins. I need Him, Mommy." After chuckling under my breath, because of the "WRETCHED" comment, we spoke about what it means to be saved by grace through faith and that our lives should show a change in which we glorify God for the rest of our life. He said he was ready to pray, so we did. When we got home, he couldn't wait to tell Daddy, who prayed with him again.

Wyatt was saved on November 25, 2005...we pray that we can continue to train them up in a manner that glorifies God...so that they can become godly young men who continue to love the Lord all the days of their lives. My prayer is that they become men after God's own heart!

I praise the Lord, for His mercy & His grace! "...for by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast..." Ephesians 2:8-9

Field trip to JPL

Some of us went to JPL on a field trip, and the kids had a really nice time. They learned about the robotics that are sent to the Moon! They all had a good time.

Enjoy the following two slideshows!

Blessings to you all!

Happy Valentine's Day !!!

Well, it's a day late, but the sentiment is still heart felt...I hope you all had a nice Valentine's Day! As most of you know, it is Lukas' birthday on February 14th, so we tend to focus on that instead of the Hallmark man made holiday...but Chris surprised me and took the day/night off, so we did end up going out for lunch just us two and had a nice time!

Love & Blessings to you all!

Happy Valentine's Day !!

My Health

Well, many of you have been praying, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Here's the latest...I started seeing a Chiropractor on Monday February 4th...I go 3 times a week, and will have my re-evaluation in about 2 months. So far the numbness is the same, though not as often, praise the Lord! I have hopes that this will help me in the long run, and it seems that I will have to walk this journey slow and steady, but with my wonderful husband, loving helpful kids, and my wonderful friends (I HAVE THE BEST ONES), this journey is far from lonely. Thanks again for your faithfulness in praying for me and my family during this trial! I've enjoyed the phone calls, e-mails and letters, they have been very encouraging to me and my family!

On a happier note, as many of you know and have seen, my hair is gone!!! I was able to donate 12" (a foot) of hair, and wow is it ever short! I LOVE IT!!! I will post pictures soon. We have all been sick with either the flu or cold here at the Hoglo Home so there have been NO photo opportunities, but we are on the mend and hope to get some pictures soon!

We love you all!
