Dad's Day!

Yep! The rumours are true- Dad is now 4o!!



Dad had a good 40th birthday! He went with Uncle John to Disneyland! They spent the day riding, joking , bonding and having a blast! Then around midnight, they went to Downtown Disney and watched "Indian Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Dad didn't get home til 3:00 in the morning! I hope it was as fun as it looks! Love you Daddy! Happy Birthday!

In front of his Dream House... (yeah right!)

Where can I get a spacesuit like that????

Silly Uncle John.... That's not Donald Duck!

Uncle John, something's landing on your head! - oh, never mind...

Past.....

My memory is so bad, I forgot to share in this post!~
Back when our Church did the CI, mom asked Ryan and I to do a little one at home using the same stories, curriculum and skits! So we did! I had alot of fun organizing and planning it out. It was last minute but we still made it as special and professional as possible! Ryan and I made name tags, set up a little station and collected stuff for crafts! It was really special because mom had never been to a CI as a child and neither had Christina (our cousin) or Daniel!

My Team, they seemed awfully familiar!!

Teaching, during assembly time!
"Ta Da!.. Mr. Ryan"

Memorizing a verse, and teaching the "One of a Kind" song.......

Parachute Song............

My Team! With our craft hats!

Ryan was able to learn and Teach in his first CI and I was able to lead and organize one. Ryan was a wonderful assistant! He helped me teach songs and verses he didn't even really know! He told some stories and acted in some skits and put together crafts on the spot! He was a real hit! We had a ton of fun and mom cried at the end! I was so happy to serve my family! The kids all really enjoyed it and were sad when it finished! Maybe someday Ryan and I can do it again together!~

Dad is the reason I am here posting. This post would not be here without Dad. It is because he made one of the wisest decisions ever 15 years ago- He married my mom, and had us kids. Although some may think he is not successful, I consider my dad VERY successful. Why? Because he understands that there is more to life than just "Being rich". Some might say dad was wrong to have us kids; he could have had more money, more cars etc. But dad's treasure is the best, because he can take it with him to heaven! Where rust, moths and theives are never known! I will always admire my daddy for this! Happy Birthday Daddy! Thank you for fixing your eyes on "things above, not below!"

Natey's Day!

Nathanael's 5th birthday was quite exciting! First he received a flashlight which he had been asking dad for awhile. Next we took him to Souplantation, where he enjoyed a large meal for a small boy, but, he is growing! Then we spent the rest of the day at the beach where mom gave him permission to play in the water in his clothes. He had a blast and later could be seen walking to the car shivering but talking about his fun in the water to dad! Now, as always, it was time for cake! Mom remembered that Natey had once said he wanted a cake with "blueberries, strawberries and those little yellow square things, that we had in a big container" Mom and I figured out that Nathanael was referring to pineapples, which we had bought some time ago in a number ten can. So mom and dad went to the store and returned with "blueberries and such"

We ended his birthday with a beautiful cake and "Dibs"(chocolate covered ice cream). As he puts it, "It was fun!"

Nathanael's 5th Birthday!

Nathanael is our little smiley guy, he always seems to radiate the room with his great smiles! He is a huge help to mom in many ways, such as thanking God for the food, loving his baby Joshua and almost always you can hear him saying "No Joshua, mommy said No" , always ready to help clean up a room of spilled Legos or toys. He is always eager to help his older brothers, and has even helped his sisters cook meals! Dad recalls many mornings when Nathanael will crawl into bed and snuggle with him. He looks up to Ryan, Daniel and Isaiah as role models and keeps himself busy by watching "his Joshua and Timothy" He prays faithfully for his daddy at work. He is a blessing to have around and we are so happy as we watch him growing up!

A Day With Daddy!

I don't know about you, but when I was little I used to wonder what it was like for my daddy at work everyday. I was always sure it would be more fun than doing school! That is until I got to go with my dad to his work with Ryan and Daniel on a special "Take your kids to work" day, 2 years ago. This year was no different, except we had more kids- Christina, Ryan, Daniel, Caytlin and I. we had a very nice time, although it annoyed Tina and I that they stressed on the girls getting careers!
First, we got an introduction to the company, PAC- Panasonic Avionics Corporation. Next we visited the test lab where the monitors and screens/systems would be tested to ensure complete audio and video. We were allowed about an hour to test different movies/music/games. There weren't really any good movies except a few here and there so I spent most of the time taking pictures! (Much more interesting!)
Later we had lunch and then a tour. Christina babysat a four year-old boy named Justin. He was SO cute! His dad must have really trusted us, cause we had him almost the whole day!


Anyways, it was alot of fun and neat to see what dad does during the day and how the company works! The Lord really blessed our time and we were able to learn alot!

A CI

Ashley, here.
Yes, I know, I haven't updated in a long while! Sorry! This last week was very busy. I got to teach at a CI at church Mon-Thurs. night and Friday- Saturday all day. Kevin, Kyle and Emily used the same material from Georgia and so I didn't really miss out at all! Stephen was a great leader, and Sarah the perfect assistant! They were both so patient with the kids and it was so neat to see their love for the Lord.
Monday night Mrs. Weston and Emily made a delicious dinner.

Getting Ready

"Watch out Girls! These Guys look hungry!"

Conversationalists.......

As most fun things do, the week flew by! The stories /skits/games and lessons were all big promoters for the successful week! Many parents came and thanked me for the wonderful job I as well as the others were doing! Several children were sad to leave at the end of the week and one ran to me and hugged me and said " Bye Miss Ashley, I'll miss you! I love you!" It truly was a learning experience for us all! The Lord really showed me how much I need to depend on Him for strength and how His design for me is truly best even though I do not like being short at all! Overall it was defiantly something I'd love to do again, if the Lord ever wills!

Here are some highlight pictures from the week!

More Kevin and Kyle humor.......

Enjoying the skit....

Kyle, playing the piano. It was really good.
