June Recap

Enjoy this review of June and seeing all the little trips we took!

The first week of June we traveled to Marvell, AR for a cousin's graduation.

This is Mom's brother and sister-in-law and all their kids.

It was so nice to see Grandpa and Grandma there!

Congratulations Evan!

The Hellwig/Silvey clan!

Jacob and Mom traveled up to North Arkansas one weekend for an archery shoot Jacob was attending. They also made a stop at Will and Brittany's house in Missouri so stay tuned for some cute pictures!😊

They stopped at the Springdale Fire Department and Will gave them a tour of the place.

Uncle Jacob was kept pretty busy playing with the littles!😉

They spent Saturday night at W+B's and went to church with them on Sunday.

Will showing them where they are planning to build their house.

Mom and Jacob had a wonderful visit and it was hard to leave when it came time to.😊

The four of us kids and good friend, Jonathan, were delighted to attend an Inspiration Quartet concert in Conway!

The Lord has really blessed this quartet in their singing ministry, and this night actually marked four years since the four of them came together to continue the Inspiration Legacy. 

The last Saturday in June, we traveled to Jacksonville, Texas for a cousin's wedding.

Amanda made the cake and did a great job!

Congratulations Luke and Lauren!

And they're off!

"If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted...if a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws." -Noah Webster

Five of us kids(and Bear😉) went to go see some fireworks at the airport in town. It was a really fun time!

"The God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?" -Thomas Jefferson

Father's Day - 2024

 

We are so thankful for Dad and his heart to follow God as he leads our family. Happy Father's Day! Love you!!

Memorial Day - Remembering the Sacrifice

This Memorial Day we are thankful for patriots who have preserved liberty in America at the price of their lives. George Washington once said, "The thing that sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world is that he will die on his feet before he will live on his knees." May we be thankful today, and always, for those who gave all for such a precious thing as freedom. 

"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." -John 15:12-13

Happy Birthday Mom!

Mom celebrated her birthday last week! Mom diligently cares for our family and the home and loves to spend the days outside working in the garden. She has a very caring spirit and is often found helping those who have needs. We are very thankful for her!

The grandkids love spending time with Grandma!❤

Happy Birthday! We love you!

"Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God(I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?" -Psalm 56:3-4

Mother's Day ~ 2024

Happy Mother's Day! God has blessed us with a godly, loving mother who has diligently cared for and raised us. Motherhood is not popular in our world today, but it is a high calling and we are so thankful for the wonderful example we have in our Mom. We love you!!❤

-Genesis 17:15-16
