Mission Trip

We as a family decided to take a Mission Trip to Montana with the girls.  We left Greyson with Nana and Grandpa for 15 days!!  Thanks to them we could not have done this with out them!  We missed Grey so much but God blessed us with this trip.  We went with our church to Hungry Horse Montana where we hold a VBS (Vacation Bible School) for a week at a school that is empty.  We were nervous because this was our first and we did not know what to expect.  Mr. M was in charge of recreational and I was helping with crafts.  The girls helped by helping with music and dance.  They had so much fun and made lots of friends.  We enjoyed fellow-shipping with the other Missionary families too.   We loved it and loved being able to love on kids that need it. The team was full of amazing and inspiring people that are so dedicated to helping.  We were overwhelmed at the love these children gave to us and that will forever stay with each of us.

We decided to leave early for the trip and spend some time in Glacier National Park on the Canada side so the kids could get their passports stamped.  We then went to Hungry Horse for the week and then went to Yellowstone for about 4 days.  We saw every kind of animal and the scenery was amazing!!  I always feel we get a glimpse of Heave by such beauty....God is wonderful!  The hiking was fun and the girls did great.

It was great family time too and we want to do it again hopefully soon and take the whole family. Here are just a few pics because there were so many!  What a blessing this experience was to see glory brought to our Heavenly Father!!

June 2012

Our sweet Phoebe turns 5!!  She is our spunky baby girl that loves puzzles, anything that glitters, and puppies.  In this picture she just got bangs and they make her look like a big girl.

School has ended and we are officially into summer!  Our kitchen remodel is complete and we love it!  

It functions so much better and glad we did it!

We are excited and nervous about summer because we have a mission trip coming up and Mr. Masters has a three month rotation starting this month and ending September 7th.  We are going to miss him!

Happy SUMMER YA"LL!

Updates...

We are finally getting back to normal, well as normal as we can be.   We had a nasty virus rage through the entire family.  It was rough but praise to God for healing us and taking good care of us.  So I am now able to update a bit...

Our little artist received an award for her artistic ability.  

 Soccer has come to an end.  Lula did great and wants to play again.  Phoebe has decided she wants to try something else.

 Still Potty Training!!!  The only thing that works is for him to be naked, but he can not go around all the time being naked so basically he will have to decide to just do it because he can.  I just hope it is sooner rather than later.

 Welcome Baby Eli... we have a new nephew and he is adorable.

 Our sweet Pheebers in one week will officially be a Kindergartner.  She had a performance for her end of Pre-K and did great!  So proud of the wonderful young lady she is becoming.

 I was able to go to Field day with the girls and they loved it.  I would have to go back n forth between their events but they were so excited that I came to cheer them on.  Loved watching them and hoping next year to volunteer because it was fun being there with them.

 Mr. Masters took the kids to Public Works day and they got to see all kinds of fun equipment.  G loves firetrucks and ambulances so he was super excited.  Hoping this summer to spend some time at the Fire station.

 Kitchen Demo has started and boy is my house turned upside down.  I am really excited to get it finished and will post pics when it is complete.
