"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve at Clint and Amy's house.  It was so much fun.  It was so cute so see all of our kids playing together.  Since we live up in Leo, it doesn't happen too often that we get together with everyone, so it was great.  The kids played really well together (for the most part:) ), and us parents had fun playing the newleywed game (which we won--we have been married for 7 years!) and outburst, and just talking.  Here are some pics from the evening:

Carter, Hudson, Madalyn, Hayleigh and Kaine--they were super hyper most of the night!

See what I mean?  Poor Maddie is taking a beating--she was such a great sport!

The little ones were much more subdued:)  Here is Halle and Deacon--I think they will be good friends someday--they are exactly 1 month apart in age.  Actually, speaking of that, today is their "birthday"--Halle is 10 months today, and Deacon is 9 months.  Happy Birthday, Halle and Deacon!

All of the kids, minus Cline (he was in bed):
Deacon, Hudson, Carter, Mason, Kaine, Halle, Hayleigh, Madalyn, and Gage

I just have to mention what a great sport Deacon was that night.  This is a picture of Deacon at about midnight!  He was so amazingly good!  I couldn't believe this little guy lasted that long!

Here is Kaine at midnight--Amy bought all the kids these little horn things.  Kaine loved his!  He asked Amy if he could take it home, and she said "Yes--please take it home!"  Thanks a lot, Amy:)  He didn't want to stop blowing it in the car!

All us girls: Jane, me, Tara, Jessica, Amy--we missed you, Sarah and Angie!

The men and the little boys (once again, minus Cline)


Thanks for a great evening, Clint and Amy!  We had a blast.  Happy New Year, everyone!

Rach, I am still getting used to this 'blogging'. It fact, I hjave tried to type this three times now and it keeps erasing it! We had so much fun with yo at New Years, and at Christmas (we are still trying to decide what to do with the 'thing'). It is times like that that we are reminded just how much we miss having you right around the block. We MUST get together more often! Love ya! Jane
