Raising Arrows to Impact the World!



Psalm 127:3-5

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.

Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.

They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Family

Cousins
Little Lloyd
She is just to cute.
Zechy this is Mr. Potato Head
(Notice Zech trying to crawl.  He is moving backwards now and is twirling in circles til he get to what he wants. Any day now he will be taking off.)
Let's Play
Saying goodbye:(

Surprise I am sitting up on my own!!!

Utah

We have been having a blast in Utah!  Home sweet home to me.:)
I can't believe how beautiful it is up at my parents place.  God's country I am sure of it.  The lakes are minutes away, the scenery is supurb, and the fun had with my family is priceless.

Here are just a few of the fun things we have been doing:
Hannah riding the Tricycle.

More Papa More.

My little Dare Devil

Let's explore Papa

Did I mention the view?

Brook is growing up so fast.

I just love this picture.

Family Day

Playing Patty Cake
Family Day


I want to play.

"You can't catch me"


Playing with bubbles!


Now that the older kids are going all different directions we are starting a family night on Sunday evenings!
It was hard for the kids to grasp but once we started we had a blast.
Zechariah is so adorable.  He just looks deep within your eyes and smiles!!!
He is alert and ready to take off crawling.  He coos and talks to you.  It is so cute.

Vacation Day 1- Redmond


Going Swimming at the Hotel



Just another crazy day!!!


Hugs!


Brother and Sisterly Love!!!




My boys are so adorable!



    Hannah loves her brother so much that we almost have to keep her seperated from him. She sneaks into the room and on any given day I can find her snuggled on the bed, blankets over the top of them with a smile strapped on her face.

Earthquakes

What happened yesterday?  The Echols house is shaking and quaking. 

We learned all about earthquakes and then had a few of our own:)
Let's see:
 How many times can we fight about petting the cat?  How many times can the baby cry? How many times can Hannah rip the library book, bible, and color on the ottoman?  What write a report?  (Oh wait, that was the volcano!)

I love my family but the earth needs to stop shaking!  Really:)

By the way Zechariah is now 17 weeks old and is the cutest thing ever.  I am totally over the earthquake!
All you have to do is look into the eyes of your 12 year old.  She smiles and who can be mad!  Plus, who's fault is it that the books were out!  I mean really what was I thinking. 

Track meet in the rain, Earthball sandwiches, Hugs and kisses!  Life is good.  Thank you Lord for perspective.
