So proud of all my girls. This is a big year for them both, McKinley and Madison have started new schools this year and are out of their comfort zone. But they have both had great attitudes about it.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to hear all about their day!!<br />

We are so very<br />
thankful for this time. We were able to go on a lovely vacation with our friends, The Anderson's.<br />
They moved to Atlanta 10 years ago and when we get together its like they never left.<br />
<br />
We spent a week on their boat in Captiva Island and it was amazing!!<br />

My friend, Yanira takes our pictures each year and she always does a fabulous job! It's not easy taking pictures for a family of FIVE.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now onto that wedding i was talking about a few days ago><br />
<br />
It was Emily and Reese's wedding and it was in Thomasville, Ga at the Pebble Hill plantation.<br />
And when I say it was a beautiful venue, I am not kidding!<br />
<br />
We stayed at the South Eden plantation and it was also beautiful. I had a little photo shoot with Morgan on the grounds.<br />

It was in March and hands down one of the best services I've ever been a part of. We had all of our Five weekend services come together and we met outside on the very spot that we will be building our new building.<br />

I just can't seem to be consistent with it.<br />
But I have people/family ask me often when am I going to post again, so today seems to be as good a day as any:). I can't believe I never even posted about Morgan's 17th bday in April! (MOM FAIL)<br />
<br />
April 16:<br />
<br />
Morgan had a swim party for her 17th birthday. 18 of her closest Friends came over to party.<br />

I posted the above on my Instagram but for some reason it wont let the video play on my blog.<br />
Sorry :( But you can see a little bit of the parade and London seemed to enjoy it to.<br />
<br />
Friday night we took the girls to the carnival to benefit our sweet church member Larry Morrell. They had a great turn out and the kids had a blast. And it was helping such a sweet family.<br />

I love looking at the Christmas tree all lit up at night. Things are coming along nicely.<br />
<br />

We don't really have room for the tree in our living room in the new house, so the only real place to put it is in the front room ( because its empty, I am still not sure what to do with this room).<br />
<br />
The girls also did a little ugly Christmas sweater cookie decorating too:)<br />

During breakfast David looked at me and said "Our kids just aren't made for cold weather, they look like a hot mess" HA! between putting on and taking off the coats, gloves and toboggans we all looked a little crazy.<br />
<br />
<br />
After breakfast we took the girls to an arcade and then we went up to Ober Gatlinburg.<br />

We stopped in Atlanta and spent the night at the Anderson Bed and Breakfast :) We Loved being able to stay with our friends, Mike & Sherrie. They are hands down the BEST hosts I know! We were up till after midnight talking and catching up so I completely forgot to take any pictures.<br />
<br />
<br />
We made it to Tennessee on Monday at noon. My parents rented a cabin for all of us to stay the week in.<br />

This year for the first time ever, we stayed home and didn't go to a church's trunk or treat. We let the girls walk around our neighborhood with some friends. They had a great time and Morgan and her friend stayed at our house and passed out candy. Worked out perfect!<br />

<br />
It was such a sweet time of singing praises to God and being sure that Maraglie, along with the other people in the town who came, understood that she wasn't getting this new home because of rich Americana's, She was getting this house because of GOD!<br />
<br />

<br />
Such a cool moment watching her walk into her new home!<br />
<br />
<br />
I will never forget my time in Haiti and feel very confident I will be going back again one day.<br />
Morgan is already raising funds for her trip in March, she really feel in love with it last year and she was part of the reason I wanted to go. I can see now why she loved it so much.<br />

I have to be honest at one point I was so hot and tired I was just ready to be done..I could tell my attitude was starting to decline and then all of the sudden I could hear Magnelie ( the lady who was getting the house) signing praises to God! Even though We speak another language I could pick out the praise songs she was singing. It lifted my spirits so much!<br />
( I tried 4 times to upload the video of her singing but I couldn't get it to work, sorry!)<br />
<br />
We built 5 beds and a table for the house and then got to set everything up for her as a surprise.<br />

I just fell in love with little Rose!<br />
<br />
It was so HOT and we worked outside everyday all day long so by the evening time we were all exhausted from the heat, but it was totally worth it.<br />
<br />
Day 2 was a success!<br />

We flew to Miami and had a couple hrs layover and met up with the rest of the team and then headed to Haiti. Once we got there we got on the Tap Tap, which is basically in the back of a big truck and headed to drop off our things at the hotel and then headed to pillatre, where we would be working all week.<br />

They have a school, church and medical center all on site.<br />
<br />
The kids were amazed by us and loved to come up and hug us and rub our arms and play with our hair:) So I had been warned that when the bell rang for break if I valued my personal space at all I needed to go into the apartment that was by the school because none of the children are aloud in there.<br />

It's always exciting to see people being born again into God's kingdom. This year we had about 40 people who were baptized and several families who were baptized together..wow, what a special moment!<br />
<br />
David also got to baptize the one thousandth person in FFC history!<br />

I am so proud of the young women you are becoming. My prayer has always been that you would grow in your faith, be kind & have a heart of integrity. It is so cool to see how God is growing you as each year goes by.<br />
<br />
I love you Morgan!<br />

It was very emotional so I cannot even imagine how people feel when they have personally known someone who died on that day. I took so pictures but there was certain areas where no photos were aloud.<br />

I love, love, love the dry bar products and my sweet friend Katie knows this about me so she surprised me with an appointment at the dry bar for a blow dry and style!!! Seriously, I was so excited about this. We don't have any of these in Tampa so it was such a fun little surprise.<br />

<br />
So I will start with Spring Break 2016. Morgan went with some other youth from church on a mission trip to Haiti. This was kind of a last minute decision that Morgan made BUT I am so glad she listened to the Lord prompting her to go. She had an amazing time and already wants to go back. They did bible studies each day with the Haitian youth and her favorite part was hanging with all the kids.<br />

And while she was in Haiti we dropped the other two off in Alabama with my parents so that David and I could get away for some much needed alone time. This was my Birthday present that David got me back in September for my 40th! It was amazing and I will take those memories with me for as long as I live. I'll write about that trip tomorrow.<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Saturday!<br />
