Our adventures at Edventure!

The Edventure Gang

(minus Lilah!)

Luke, Parson, Tallon, Carlisle and Olivia

Her groovy shoes just had to match the occasion...

she WAS on a firetruck afterall.

Olivia and Carlisle busy building skyscrapers.

We even had fun in the sun!

Our cool pack of Mommies and littles.

(I did a terrible job of capturing everyone and their babies. I love you Julie, Rebecca and Jessica)

"Shopping" in the grocery store.

Not the friendliest shopper...she kind of butted right through. Yes Mom, I asked her not to, she just was too overwhelmed with the pint size grocery store to hear all my kind words of advice.

Eddie, the cool huge 10 year old, was a great teaching tool. I was telling her all about his knees, wrist, watch, hat, etc. He's enormous.

All she could talk about was his SHOES. And they weren't even cute!

Courtney, the funnest mom showing Olivia the ropes....or the roots...

And here she is behind the camera...she's just gotten a phat new lens for her camera. She is a wanna-be professional photographer like me who for now is a photo-nabbing-of-her-daughter-picture-stalker...also like me!

She's Super Mom too.

After the Museum, at California Dreaming. Dad and Pattie came to meet us!

Hmmmm....no thanks sweetie, I don't love Ketchup as much as you do!

Thanks for meeting us! We LOVED seeing you and can't wait for later in the month to see you again! : )

Mommies, I cannot wait for our next adventure...how about FunDayGo?

In two weeks or so?

I'll be in touch!

Hope all is well with you, and that the pregnancy continues to progress nicely. Look forward to chatting some time soon.; 8/10/2007 3:47 PM

Speaking Engagements

Every once in a while, I get a microphone and the privilege to share with women what the Lord is doing and has done in my life. And about His GREAT LOVE for us all.

Carlisle Victoria...our heart...

Most likely to become a VETERINARIAN. She is our 8-year-old. She was born 11 months after her big sister that lives in heaven. She acts the part of 'Mommy', a bit, with her little sisters. She is an encourager to everyone around her and showers the people she loves, WITH LOVE. She has an amazingly and intensely-cool sense of style that would remind of the 80's. She is tender for her Jesus. And loves her Daddy. She already thinks it's fun that her Mommy teaches aerobics. She is incredibly feminine...but would rather go fishing, than play with dolls, anyday. She is the best eater of any child I've ever seen...onions cooked, or raw is her favorite. Milk? The only thing she doesn't like.

Evelyn Annette...our light...

Most likely to become HEAD CHEERLEADER. She is our 7 year-old and also our 3rd baby girl in 2 1/2 years. We call her 'Little Ol Ev!' There's a song that goes with the name too. She has more spunk in her small little frame than four normal children. Born 19 months after her older sister, she is funny and fun and just wants to be included. She is a dancer through and through. She laughs, ALWAYS. She absolutely unconditionally loves her family (especially her big sister). Her hair is stick straight, but even it has a little spunky something going on with it. She gives the BEST kisses and makes great eye contact. She is a textbook extravert. Oh, and the picky-est eater on the planet. She loves milk.

Brian....my strength...

This guy. Oh goodness. I am so madly in love. He gave his life to Jesus in 1999. And patiently waited to marry me until I did the same. He's smart. He's tall. He's extroverted. He's true. He's right. He's noble. And strong as a bull. With the physique of an Abercrombie model. He's the guy who stole my heart in Charleston, in college, all those years ago. He loves the Lord. Gentle enough to handle 4 little girls and one girly wife. What a HIGH calling. He loves to fish, but rarely gets to because he's always hanging out with us. He's so outnumbered with females…and sooo good at the job. He likes his coffee black and his food clean and organic. He is type A. He's a Jiu Jitsu champion, which means he could whoop a cheetah. But too humble to talk about it. He loves his family. And his family absolutely adores him. He is a servant leader and takes care of all these little ones so that together we can serve the Lord. He's WAY out of my league.

Me

I'm an extrovert who digs my husband in a big way. But, I love Jesus the most. I have an identical-twin-sister. I really enjoy things tidy and organized. I like Diet Dr Pepper. I never thought about being a Mother. (When Brian and I got married, I made him promise that we'd wait five years before we had the first one...and we were 4 months shy of our 5th anniversary when Grace was born.) I never like being alone. I love taking pictures. Especially of my family. I took a semester off college and worked at Disney World. I love getting (real) letters in the mailbox. I have a hard time always answering emails and voicemails on time. Brian sends me to the gym, if I am grumpy. I was a competitive swimmer and dancer growing up. I sing REALLY loud in the car if I like the music. I cry. Friends are very important to me. I used to be corporate-girl in Atlanta...I think I'll stick with being an aerobics instructor. It's one of the best jobs on the planet. Memorizing scripture is my heartbeat. God made me to be a wife and Mommy...He just knew it way before me...
