The Powers Brothers, Dan, Joe, James and Sam

Bridgepoint Elementary....Miss, Alicia, Janell and Jackie
Maddie and Victor...."Someone get us out of here!!!!!"
Meredith and Sam...Saturday morning coming to pick up Sam.
"Let's get ready for Fla.."

Yes, Meredith turned 30 on the 9th!!!!! It's so hard to believe. Someday she will realize just how quickly the time does fly.


We decided to have a surprise party, well.....try to. The kids had all decided that they would go out and celebrate and we would go out as a family for dinner. The plan was to meet here first, go out and eat and later they would meet up with their friends.


Meredith said as they turned the corner and saw all of the cars, big surprise, she knew something was up.


We had a great time. We kept Sam all night and he was wonderful. He woke up bright eyed and ready to go. Papa and I took him to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and he was so good.


Enjoy the pix. Thanks everyone for coming. Happy Birthday again Miss. We love you

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
