March Review:)

March began with a trip to Las Vegas for the guys, working a job for a homeschool, Christian, gymnastic competition meet! A friend of the guys, David Spears is part of the gym group and recommended our guys to the couple who directs and organizes the meet. They called and offered the job to Daddy, Ryan, Daniel and Isaiah, who readily accepted! 

On the way, the guys stopped by Oma's

Stopping at Del Taco for lunch

Before starting the job, the guys had the opportunity to go to a trampoline park! They really enjoyed that outing!!

A picture of their hotel hallway.....

hotel stay was included

A cozy sitting room in their suite....

Dad and Ryan in their uniforms, looking sharp!

Working hard.....:) There was a lot of set-up before the competition, but having company while you do it always makes work enjoyable!

Enjoying some fellowship and food in a private dining room....

Taking a break and chatting in between jobs.....

Four of the hardworking guys on the work team:David, Joey, Isaiah and Ryan:) They became good friends by the end of the week with Joey who is also a likeminded homeschooler, and here Isaiah had borrowed Joey's glasses for a new look!;)

One of the jobs the guys did, besides setting up, was patrolling doors and directing "traffic.";)

Setting up some more mats and highbars....

The week flew by and the guys worked hard each day, setting up, tearing down, rotating equipment, guarding doors and helping time the participants.

After the competition was over and the job finished, the guys were given tickets to a small amusement park in the area, Adventure Dome!:) They enjoyed it, especially after such a busy week!:)

Sadly, this month, we lost our great grandfather, Esubio"Bill" Sevilla, or as he was affectionately called "GGP" ( which stands for Great-Grand-Pa). Grandma Campbell (Dads biological mom) and Dad's half sister, Aunt Sabrina came down and stayed with us for his memorial service.

This picture was taken around the time we first met him, three years ago.:) He was really proud of all of his "great grand children."

Dad was asked to read some Scripture for the memorial service.

Dad's Uncle Mark, and Cousin Jared sharing about GGP's life. We are so glad that God let us meet him.

Aunt Donna (Uncle Mark's wife)

Aunt Beulah ( GGP's niece)

Dad and his cousin Lauren (Uncle Mark's daughter)

GGP's older brother.....everyone agreed that he looks a lot like GGP.:)

You can see the family resemblance here!;)

After the memorial service, everyone was invited to lunch at a seafood buffet nearby.

We had a private dining room in the restaurant.....

Daniel with Great Grandma Georgia ("GG").....

A hug for GG...:) GGP always had a special gift for Evie.:)

Meeting relatives for the first time from the Philippines.....

Everyone was excited and interested to meet Dad and his family and hear his story.....:)

Friends and family....

It's a long, but neat story....:)

More relatives!:)

Just like GGP...;)

Squeezing in for a group picture.....GGP would have loved to see this.:)

 We enjoyed a visit from some of the relatives that were in town for the funeral on Sunday evening...

Dad and his Mom....

Saying goodbye....

The next day, Grandma Campbell left to head home to Texas......

One more hug.....

Isaiah's 16th birthday landed on a Sunday this year and so mom wanted a picture of him dressed up in his suit. This wasn't quite what she was envisioning, but it was too good to pass up!! 

After the church that morning, we had a special lunch to celebrate! Ryan cooked up the carne asada for us on the grill!

Nothing like siblings to keep life exciting!

Hannah-Bella as we affectionately call her was enjoying playing with her feet here.

Watching The Case For Parkour....

Presenting him his coconut cake.....

A prayer instead of a wish....

Getting some help with the candles, see the coconut pieces flying??

Happy 16th Birthday, Isaiah! We love you!:D

The next two pictures are some more cute moments......trying on the puppet wig, Hannah?

Storytime with Daddy.....

The Lord is righteous in all His ways,

Gracious in all His works.
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.
 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.

The Lord preserves all who love Him,

But all the wicked He will destroy.
 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever.

Psalm 145:17-21
