MRCC Mission Sunday 2009 - Go Light Your World

2009-07-13T08:59:00.001-05:00

If you missed church yesterday you really missed out on an AWESOME service. I pray that each person in the room was as touched as I was to go and be a light for Jesus Christ in this lost community and around the world.

Our New House

2009-06-27T15:19:00.008-05:00

Well, we were blessed in the last two months to sell our house and get moved in to a new house. It all happened so fast that I barely remember any of it. It was a happy time, as well as a VERY stressful time. If it weren't for Terra and Suzanne lovingly answering my million questions and panicked phone calls, I probably would have died from an anxiety attack. We got the contract on our Beverly house on or around May 10th (like I said, can't really remember). We closed on our Beverly home on May 28th and the Lindsay home on May 28th and 29th. Yes it took us two days to close. :-( We finally got keys on May 30th, but when we showed up they were still in the house. We KINDLY hurried them along to get their junk out so that we were not homeless any longer. Through all the chaos we some how survived and I only cried once. I was so proud of myself!! Thanks again Terra and Suzanne for constantly reminding me that it was all going to work out okay!!

So, are you ready for pictures yet? Well, I present to you....
OUR
NEW
HOME!!

This is the front of our house! We really need some colorful flowers!! Everything in our beds is green, we really need a bit more variety. I stink at this though!

Our front door

Our entry way

Living Room - The picture to go over the fireplace is on order. Cross your fingers that it looks good!

We should have the new couches soon!! Then we will need to get a new oversized chair to replace the gross green recliner.

The dining room/Breakfast Room

Kitchen

Study - This room is still a work in progress and probably will be for a while!

Study

Kaison's Room

Kadence's Room

Back of House - I love the big covered area!!

Back yard with Trampoline from grandparents

You can really tell that our grass is dying up in the front. That is what happens when your sprinkler system is not fixed like it should have been. It didn't help that we went out of town for a week either!

Well, that is it!! I hope you enjoyed!! We cannot wait to have each of you over to see it in person. Just call with what time works best and we will make it happen!! :-)

Let's See If I can Remember How to do This

Kadence Riding Bike

2009-05-19T17:55:00.003-05:00

Kadence has had a bike for over a year now. Micah and I were over achievers when it came to her abilities as a child!! She is just now getting the hang of the whole peddling concept.
She is not so good at steering just yet. We have almost gone off the curb a couple of times and luckily no cars have come her way. :-)

Tubbs Family Reunion

2008-11-23T14:05:00.010-06:00

First off, sorry for all the pictures...In early October we went down to Texas for a big family reunion with my mom's family. We always have lots of fun!! This year we went to the lake and had a great lake house!! It was huge. I think like 20 of us slept in this one house. Kaison even had his own room, in our closet! That thing was HUGE and he was perfectly content. We had white elephant exchange where many crazy gifts were given, even a white elephant - I know so creative. Here is a picture of some of us with our new gifts.

Kadence also had tons of fun playing with her second cousin Addie!! They got to swim, ride on jet skis, play on the playground, more swimming, hiding in boxes, and even hunting for spiders.

Kadence and Kaison also had lots of fun riding the train. My grandpa rigged a make shift train together for them. They had a blast being pulled around in circles. Once Paw got tired, daddy took over. He thought he would give them a thrill and start running. They were going pretty fast. The kids were loving it until the back train derailed. Kaison's car flipped and gave him a nice shiner on his eye. He cried for a second and then wanted back in to go again.

Trip to the Dentist

2008-10-10T21:51:00.004-05:00

Two posts in one day - Are you proud?
Kadence had her first trip to the dentist a couple of weeks ago. She did a great job. The hygienist and dentist did a great job making her feel comfortable!! She now asks 2-3 times a day to brush her teeth!! She will even let me do it for her, which is a big step. Here are a few pictures from the big day!!

Officially Crafty

2008-09-02T20:40:00.005-05:00

I just want to add before you start reading this - THIS IS MY 100TH POST!! YEAH - It has taken me forever, but I have made it!! No big party or cool post, but I will leave you with something that I made!!

I am going to officially consider myself crafty. I actually sewed something else. I have had a sewing machine and finding time to actually use it has been hard. When Kadence started Sonshine School 2 years ago I sewed her two nap mat covers. She was a sweaty sleeper so I was over ambitious and thought she needed one in pink and one in purple. As it always is with your second child, he just got one nap mat. But I am very proud of it and think it turned out really good.

Celebrate Recovery Trip in California

2008-09-02T19:53:00.006-05:00

Okay, okay - so after a couple of e-mails from my oh so faithful readers, I will finally update my blog. We have been so busy these last couple of weeks. August started out with a week long trip to California for a Celebrate Recovery training. Micah and I took 10 other people to Saddleback Church and had a great time. It was like being at church camp again. It was the spiritual high that I needed!! I learned so much and it excites me to see so many lives changing and people coming back to the Lord!! We heard great testimonies of people who were lost, but now they are saved because they were introduced to Celebrate Recovery.

I know I am kind of biased of the program, but I truly feel that EVERYONE should come and be a part. Everyone has something in their life that they need recovery for, ie. inpatience, perfectionism, alcoholism, abuse, codependency, and many MANY more). I know this is a whole new mindset for the church. People are really not used to talking about what they struggle with, but I have seen first hand the power of sharing your story and the effect it can have on your life and the lives around you.

So, if you are interested...I am going to be starting an 8 week Bible study that will lead us through the book "Life's Healing Choices." It is written by the Celebrate Recovery founder, John Baker. It is based on the 8 principles that they follow in Celebrate Recovery, but it is a small group study. If you are intersted in participating or just interested in more information please e-mail me.

Okay - for the fun side of our trip!! We went to the beach one night and had dinner. It was amazing!! It was late when we got finished so all our pictures on the beach are dark.

The beautiful sunset on Laguna Beach.

The famous Hollywood Sign!!

The biggest guitar hero guitar at Universal Studios.

Micah and I at the Hollywood Walk of Fame!! We had fun - The Cheetah Girls had their preimere that day and were interviewing on the red carpet.

The BEST seafood restaurant on the beach!!!

Happy Anniversary

2008-08-10T12:39:00.002-05:00

**I typed this up yesterday and forgot to finish it and publish it!!**

Today Micah and I are celebrating our 6th Anniversary. It really doesn't seem like that long ago, but we have come a long way in 6 years. We now have a two wonderful, crazy kids, a great house, and a love stronger than the day we married.

Micah (if you ever actually read this) -
I love you so much. These has been the best 6 years of my life. We have two great kids and I would not chose to go through this with any one else!! You are the best husband and friend.

Love you mucho grande!!

Here are a few pictures to reminsice where we have come from sinc August 2002.

This picture if from a trip to visit Micah's parents the first summer after we got married.

First day in JSO class. I bet you can't guess who took this picture.

This one was taken the day or two before our wedding. We went out on a BIG date - our last date as a dating couple!!

Cutting the cake at our wedding.

Finally leaving after a long reception. I nearly fell out of the back when my grandpa started going. We were too busy kissing and not holding on.

And here we are last night at The Melting Pot!! We had a great time and the food is just so yummy!!

Happy Anniversary Babe!! Yesterday was so much fun and I love you more than you'll ever know!!

Tic Tag Toe

2008-08-08T22:14:00.005-05:00

I am loving this new site. Tic Tag Toe. It has the cutest tags and labels. I just placed my order and I am hoping that I am impressed with what I get. They were pretty reasonable. This is just an example of what the tags look like. They can be attacked to your kids backpack for school. I also ordered matching "waterproof" labels for cups and other things that get sent to school with my kids.

You Missed Out

2008-08-08T17:15:00.002-05:00

If you were not at the Blogger Bash last night you really missed out!! The Party Ninjas really outdid themselves and it was a great success!! Sorry I don't have any pictures, but you can check out Summer's blog to see some pictures. I am looking forward to reading a lot of new blogs of all my new friends!! I really enjoyed catching up with old friends and meeting some new!! I definetly can't wait until the next one - we shouldn't wait a whole before doing this again!!

Unattended Child Leads to Bad Things

2008-07-29T16:35:00.003-05:00

This is what happens when you leave a 1 year old child unattended for any length of thim. I was trying my hand at homemade ice cream for Kaison's birthday party and I thought Kaison was being really good in the living room. Kadence was watching Curious George and Kaison was really quiet. I figured he was sitting my Kadence watching cartoons. Next thing I know, I hear Kadence let out this blood curdeling scream. I quickly run into the living room to find Kaison like this...

Birthday Present from Mom and Dad!

2008-07-29T13:04:00.004-05:00

Kaison got the same thing for his 1st Birthday that Kadence got for her 3rd Birthday. They both got cool chairs made by Sada. She did a great job coordinating the fabrics and surprised me with both. I absolutely love them and they have really enjoyed Saturday morning cartoons in their new chairs.
