Pancakes and Prayers

The kids and I made up a batch of apple cinnamon pancake snackers (mini cakes) and delivered them to a couple of families that we are really going to miss when we leave. Below is the message we shared with them when we made our deliveries. We each had our lines to read, but Kris had to take over for me when I choked up! The bible tells us that faith is to hope for things which are not seen, but which are true.

That means to believe in something that we can't see.

Our hearts tell us that our faith in God is true and right.

Our hearts also tell us to have faith in many different things through out our lives.

Friendship is something we can't see, but also believe in.

Our God is a kind and loving God, and we believe that he gave us friendship to better our lives.

We find love, joy, and peace in our friendships.

While our friendship with you may change over time, it will always be there.

Something we can't see, but will hold dear to our hearts forever.

Here you see some lively discussion at my book club meeting. It was a great last meeting for me. We read Snowflower and the Secret Fan. Don't remember who it was by, but it was a very good book and led to a great debate.
As promised to Jen W. I didn't post the funny faces picture!!!

My 2 cuties! Showing off their new outfits. We only have 9 more days until we see Don and 11 more until we pull out of Weiser for the last time!! I am constantly trying to fight off the tears now. Sunday, at church was really hard! We are so going to miss all of our friends and family!

Subway

I was taken out to lunch today by two of my most favorite people, Tara and Brayden! We went to Subway and I ate up every minute of it! It is so fun to watch kids at this age, they find every thing so fascinating and try to mimic you constantly. Thanks guys for the treat!

Brayden had a little trouble trying to give kisses while wanting to look at the camera at the same time!

One of the Pohl cats had to take a trip to the vet a few days ago. Poor Thomas! Was a cat bite that got infected, so the vet had to cut away the bad skin. Gross! He is forever getting into cat fights. I guess his name fits, Tom, he is a true tom cat!!

Devin's doesn't look so enthused! But it's obvious Kristina sure loves her brother.

This is how Don and Kristina would tend to our little strawberry patch. Don would pick them and hand them over to Kristina for safe keeping, but she would always eat them, thinking he didn't know what she was doing!

This is the day that Devin was born. There were 5 babies in the hospital at the time. Devin was the only one that was in NICU, which just happened to be at the other end of the long nursery room. That's how it's done in small town Nebraska! :)

Trip to Owyhee Damn

Some pics from our cold, but cool trip to the Owyhee Damn.

Taking pictures in the dark and with a dying camera, the shots didn't turn out so great. But I just had to share the best with you. This place was amazing! Grandpa took us to the Fantasy of Lights in Aztec, New Mexico. There were so many creative things! It was cool to ride around in a horse drawn carriage with warm and toasty blankets!

We found a New Mexico version of Narnia!!!

Since wishful thinking isn't working for getting rid of the cold weather I thought I might as well post a Christmas picture. Darn snow isn't going any where any time soon, so I guess it's just time to face reality!
