Crater Lake baby!

So, I had to be convinced that I wanted to travel ANOTHER 90 miles to go visit a national park. I wasn't thrilled to be in the vehicle for that long again, but my dad and other siblings and their family wanted to go. Plus, Darin thought we should go as well. So, with that said, we went, and had a great time! The weather was perfect! Glad I went afterall...

Some really cute kids!

My precious niece Grace, 5 years old!

Princess Pey Pey ~ almost one years old!

My son Collin with my sweet niece Maddie and adorable nephew Logan

My cute 1 yr old niece Annika

Some precious boy cousins...Logan, Austin and Collin!

My handsome nephew Reece!

Okay...so the above pics are of my children and brother's children (but most of you know who these kids are!). I was told by Krista that she misses me blogging...so just wanted to post some pics of these pretty cute Motsinger grandchildren. Can they get any cuter? I mean, really???

Reunited at last!

Well, my dear sweet handsome grandpa Charlie went home to be with the Lord tonight. I am saddened by his departure from this earth, but happy to know he is spending eternity in Heaven with our Heavenly Father as well as Grandma Rose! We will surely miss you grandpa. I love you lots!

And the Rockets Red Glare!!!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We had so much fun today! What a busy day it was. We spent it in Tillamook this year. We started with taco salad, played a mean game of U-N-O and ended with the awesome fireworks that my brother Michael did for us! I hope you all had a wonderful day with friends and family! God Bless the USA!

It's "Too-th irty". Do you know where your child is?

At the dentist office, that's where!!! Austin had his first dentist visit today. He loved, loved, loved it! He was timid at first, but loosened up and loved it! When the dentist was done, he got to sit up in the chair. The dental assistant gave him a bag of dental goodies. Austin sat there holding the bag and said "I'm done". It was so cute!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all my beautiful friends that are Mothers!

Beautiful Weekend!

We had gorgeous weather ALL weekend and I loved it! Thankful the rain decided to go away for awhile!!! Darin was off yesterday and I actually got a picture of him with Austin. I also got a picture of Collin riding his dirt bike and a sweet one of Austie just smiling! Enjoy!

Happy Easter! He is Risen!

Today we can celebrate Easter because Jesus died on the Cross to take away our sins, and then rose again, so that we can have eternal life with him some day in Heaven. Today in kids church, we had a Bible lesson, and we included different colors of jelly beans. Black represents our sins, Red is the blood that Jesus shed on the cross for those sins, White is that we are white as snow (pure), Green is for our growth in Christ, Blue is for Baptism and Yellow is for Heaven. It is just a good reminder to us all that as we grow, we experience different colored "jelly beans" in our life! I hope and pray that we are all in the green/blue stage. I just think, that as the grass grows, so should our Faith in Christ Jesus who died on the cross to take away our sins!

Happy Birthday Shawnia

I just wanted to wish my friend Shawnia a happy Birthday today! She is fortunate enough to be celebrating it in Maui. She got to snorkel today. Love you girl!

Beautiful Day for the Park

Austin got to play at the park today. It was such good weather, I couldn't believe it! Collin was in Eugene today for his friend's birthday, so it was just me and Austin and my girlfriend Heather and her son Noah. We had a blast! Thank goodness for springtime!!! I can't wait for summer weather.
