family fun.

ok, as you know

it has been pack and pack

and more packing....

therefore i have not had time to blog

but i am missing it so much!

can't wait to get into a routine again.

anyways i have some pictures of

out trip to turlock this past weekend for

the "berry-wright-ryan"

family reunion.

we had a lot of fun seeing 

all the family

....and already look forward to next years

reunion.

so i have a bunch of pictures to share

and normally i would make

funny comments or explanations

about the pictures but

because time is lacking around here

i thought i would just post the pictures....sorry!

 The boys are realizing they are with all the girls... and they're thinkin' "I'm outta here!"

JESSE'S FIRST TIME IN THE POOL... HE LOVED IT!

The Three Musketeers... these three boys are all one month apart... pretty cool, huh?

 Here, try some, it's pretty good.

 You're looking too skinny, let me show you how to get this belly!

 

 

Well, I guess I couldn't help myself... just a few comments.

new nest.

ok.

so here is the big news.

we have been blessed so immensely in this past month

and our latest announcement is we are

MOVING!

yea, we will be so much closer to mark's work

more time at home....wooohoooo

but not only that we are actually buying a house.

now, this may seem like a huge surprise

and actually it really is...

however  we have been looking at homes for rent and for sale since

mark got his new job.

buying a house was just a dream

but we still looked and looked at homes

however now it is a reality!

we have been praying about it continually

and feel that God has 

really opened these doors for us.

...so this is why we have been soooo busy.

we are packing like crazy 

and are planning to close escrow

on August 24th.

our new home is located in arroyo grande

just 15 min. south of san luis obispo
we still can not believe
this is happening.
here is a picture of the new house.

anyways....
my prayer that i find myself often praying
for this house...
{by the way, thank God for prayer, he happens to be an adult who understands you....unlike two babies who have no idea what you are talking about and you can not understand them...haha, i think i would go crazy if i didnt pray though out my day...}
so...
my prayer for this house is that
right now God would begin to dwell in this
house, anyone who walks in that front door
would know and feel God's love.
i pray that this house is 
a house that i can raise my kids, under the leading and guiding of the holy spirit and 
support my family {kids and husband} in 
all that they do....well the things that
glorify God.
my hope and prayer is that
our doors are always open for friends and family
and that God really uses this house for his purpose, whatever that might be.
we are so thankful for this house
but also recognize that with blessing
comes responsibility
and what that entails i am not sure
but i am excited to see
the future!
please pray for us as we continue 
on this journey!
we are soooo excited!
please come visit!!!!!

big fat egyptian wedding.
