Colossians 3:1-4 "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory."
It's no secret to those who know me, that I think about Heaven ("'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Rev. 21:4) a lot. Since Madison died, I desire to be there so much, in God's timing, of course because I am SO thankful and love all of the blessings and Purpose He has given me down here. I think a lot about judgement day and living a life that is pleasing to the Lord. Here is a verse that makes one think:
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."
2 Corinthians 5:10

Well visit:
We were so excited to finally make it to our dear friends' house up north: The McDonald Ranch. We took the whole crew and were blessed to get to stay in their guest house. "Big Boy" and the babies...well, we ALL loved getting to hang out w/ "N" and "G" , "Big Boy" went horseback riding (a "lifelong" dream of his ;) and they had a couple of Power Wheels the kids cruised around on. We even caught the tail-end of a Rodeo! ...Literally, the very last event. The men went shooting while the womenfolk took care of the kids. ;) Jk, but the men did go shooting. ...and then there was steak for dinner...
Boys' First Camping Trip:
"G" had a camping trip as her birthday party and some other friends blessed us by letting us use their camper trailer. It had room for a tent for "Big Boy" (that's what he wanted b/c that's what you do when you camp!), two pack n plays and a bed for us. There was also running water, which made washing the bottles easier and a potty! My kind of camping. It was such a great time of relaxing and hanging out w/ the boys and our friends. The babies slept their usual schedule (only up for two hours max, three times a day) and had fun while they were awake.
