Skiing!!

We also decided to take our friends to Telluride and try out some skiing! Again, we had some good laughs!! Toby was pretty sure he could teach Scott how to ski, he kept saying, "ok, John, (that's what Toby called him) all you do is put your feet together to go fast and apart to go slow!" Well, lets just say, that Scott did a really good job trying! :) Jared and I feel like, we might have been bad friends on this little vacation of theirs by taking them to do some extreme winter stuff, when they are used to, we'll let's just say, the desert! But In all honesty, the snow shoeing, the pizza/taqueria (another story in itself), the skiing, Dominion, Sonic drinks, Chocolate cake from the nuts at Safeway, and fellowship was exactly what Our little family needed this week! We love our friends!!! Can't wait to see them again!

Snow Shoe day!

Our dear friends, Scott and Michelle, came to visit us this week and boy did we have some good times! We decided to take them snow shoeing on the Mesa, and the coolest part was, it began snowing when we were up there. So needless to say, they got to experience some real winter weather apart from their "normal" 95 degree winters in Arizonia! We did laugh a lot on our little adventure in the mountains, it was fun!

California trip January 2013

We had so much fun this week!! Grandma Randa took us to Disneyland for three days! We got to go on Buz light year, which is one of Toby's favorite, the new Lightening McQueen ride, which was super awesome, and all the other super sweet Disney rides! We loved watching Toby get so excited for each ride and we loved watching his face light up when the characters came his way and hugged him. What a true blessing for us to be able to go as a family! We then were able to go to the Calvary chapel youth workers conference at the Bible college in Murietta. Talk about blessed!! Jared and I learned so much and we pray The Lord helps us to apply and remember everything we learned. God is so faithful to always remind us that we are nothing and can do nothing without Him. We need a refreshing of His Holy Spirit every day and we pray He refreshes our church and youth group to do the things He has called us to do. Oh, and grandma Randa also took us to Laguna beach for an overnight stay.....awesome!!!!!! Enjoy the pics!!

Happy 2013!!!!

Wow! We cannot believe how fast this past year went! In 2012, Jared and I were blessed to be able to take Toby to Disneyland with his grandma Randa and Greg! We were also blessed with the opportunity to travel to Turkey and Israel for a biblical tour. It was awesome! Toby turned 3 in 2012, and Jared and I celebrated four years of marriage. God is so good! As we head into this next year, we are praying earnestly for our adoption to come to fruition. We have been praying for this baby or babies since March 2011, and we know God has heard every prayer! We know and understand that His timing is perfect, and they that wait upon The Lord shall renew their strength. We are now number #22 on the siblings, #62 on the girls, and # 44 on the boys list!! We will keep you updated! We are also expecting two new babies added to the Cousins this year, we are so excited for baby shaver and baby Krabill!! We can't wait to blog about our year! God bless, look forward to seeing what 2013 brings our way!
