Marriage Retreat

Hi Everyone! Our church had a marriage retreat this weekend in Ventura. We were reminded of what a WONDERFUL gift it is to have a God honoring spouse. who loves the Lord, Jesus Christ. Pastor Philip DeCourcy was our speaker, and he was GREAT! He reminded us of our God given roles as man and wife. He blessed and encouraged us greatly~The following slide shows are from this weekend. We're sorry we didn't get pictures of everyone! But, hey there''s always next year!

Our time together

My Health

First of all, I want to thank you all for your prayers and for continually checking up on me to see how I'm feeling. Praise the Lord, I am much better! I completed my first 10 weeks of Chiro appointments today. Not only has my numbness lessened considerably, it has even gone away completely in some areas. My leg and fingers still go numb, (which is still not good, and we still are unsure what is causing it) but thankfully, they are not going as numb as they used to. I will now see the Chiro twice a week instead of three times for the next 12 weeks, which is good financially. The onset of Spring, brought out the lovely allergies in me, and while on a regular visit to my Chiro, Dr. Griffin, she did some pressure point treatment on me and with (NO MEDS) they were gone! Amazing! We decided to take Lukas since he was suffering too and in only two treatments, he's all better! I'm thankful for the Lord and His provision for our family! He takes care of us ALWAYS! Well, again thank you to you all for praying and please keep praying this is only the halfway point for me! Blessings to you all far and near!

Love,

Georg

LIFE IS BUSY!

Well it's been a while since I've posted to our family blog,

and as all moms will agree...
LIFE IS BUSY!

Several of my friends are pregnant and several of them have given birth already.

We've had a couple of baby showers in celebrating the new lives

that the Lord has blessed them with. The slideshows are below...

First was Amy's shower, she had her forth child, Caleb.

Then was Barbara's shower, who had her second child, Ashlyn.

You can see Barbara pregnant at Amy's shower.

You can also see how much Amy's baby Caleb has grown

in just a month at Barbara's shower.

WOW! Gods perfect plan...Creation...is beautiful!

The Lord had blessed me with the best friends anyone could ever hope to have!

I am truly rich! Thank you ladies, I love you all!

Ecclesiastes 4:10 If one person falls, his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Thanks to all of you...I will never be pitied!

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!

Well, Wyatt & Lukas were blessed with an opportunity to be
extras on the set of a wonderful movie coming out soon. It's called

They had a great time and loved learning about

the making of a movie!

This is what their scene will look like.

Getting their group shot. Theresa made sure they got to be all together!

Making sure everyone knows they have an "X" on their hands! "1 - 2 - 3 - Extras!"

Josh & Trisana got parts too! What fun!

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.

Lukas Birthday Party

Lukas has turned 6! He actually turned 6 on the 14th, but his party was on the 16th.

Here are some pictures from the party. We had beautiful weather and it was nice to be able to be outside for most of it. Thank you all for coming and helping Chris and I to make Lukas' day special. Lukas had a wonderful time, he loves all of his friends and hopes you all had a good time too!

Enjoy the following two slideshows!

Blessings to you all!
Chris & Georg

Lukas with his friends...

Happy Birthday Lukas!

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 !!

Having Fun !!!

Having some fun

Well, I guess when you try to get your 6 and 8 year olds to take pictures of your new haircut this is what you end up with...it ended with a tickle match...I WON!!!

HAIR

Drum Roll Please

Well, here it is... I LOVE IT! Hope you all do too!

School days...

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!

Wyatt turns 8!

He turned 8 and had a party with some of his closest friends!

They watched Narnia then ONLY the boys spent the night!

I was more afraid of this night then hosting the 46 women who

came to my annual COOKIE PARTY this year! (Record breaking)
