I've found the Pearl of greatest price, 

My heart doth sing for joy; 

And sing I must, for Christ is mine; 

Christ shall my song employ.

Christ is my Prophet, Priest, and King;

A Prophet full of light,

My great High Priest before the throne,

My King of heav'nly might.

For He indeed is Lord of lords,

And He the King of kings;

He is the Sun of righteousness,

With healing in His wings.

Christ is my Peace; He died for me,

For me He gave His blood;

And as my wondrous Sacrifice,

Offered Himself to God.

Christ Jesus is my All in all,

My Comfort and my Love,

My Life below, and He shall be

My Joy and Crown above.

-Jason Mason

Hiking Adventures

A few friends, Karsten and I hiked Spruce Mountain...

Another day we hiked the Incline, it is 2,000 feet in elevation gain...Pretty hard but, so rewarding when you make it to the top. We went with our friend. It was pretty awesome!

Camping Trip

This past weekend we went on  a little camping trip about an hour from our house. We took our two close friends with us, sense friends make everything better. It was a lot of fun. 

Sibling love...They have way to may inside jokes...lol

Sweet mama...who fishes amazingly, while holding a baby...

Can you say model?

It was a beautiful lake...My shoes ended up falling apart, so I went barefoot most of the day. We decided to have "race"around the lake, which was fun, but my feet are hurting today because of it.

Karsten was the main fisherman. He caught 2.  And enjoyed every moment of it. They brought them back to the camp sight and ate it..

These 2 humans and I woke up early, it was fun. They let me in on some of their jokes, we sang(well mostly them), talked about the 90's...They say I do not qualify as a 90's kid because I was born is 1999...:) I disagree. 

Love this adorable girl.

cuteness

I think I collected everyone hats and glasses and decided to wear them..It was pretty great.

And yet, if it be true that God alone is goodness and joy and love; if it be true that our highest blessedness is in having as much of God as we can; if it be true that Christ has redeemed us wholly for God, and made a life of continual abiding in His presence possible, nothing less ought to satisfy than to be ever breathing this blessed atmosphere, “I wait on Thee.”

My dad cant really be described in words, but I will try my best. He is so much more. He truly is everything I want in a father. A amazing leader, a wonderful business man, a loving husband, a man that will do everything in his power to make you laugh when we are upset. You, dad truly want the best for me and our family, I know this without a doubt. He is one of the most giving men you will ever meet. He gives the best impressions of people, that make us laugh. He is what every little girl wants for a daddy. A dad who calls you sugar, and brings you home flowers, and chocolate, (can you say awww)....Thank you for all the hugs, laughs, and tears you have shared with me! I could really go on forever about your awesomeness Daddy. But, I  think I must stop at some point. Please never forget how special you are to us. You hold such a big place in my heart, you always will.....  You truly are my hero! I love you to the moon, Daddy! Hope you Fathers Day is as wonderful as you are!

XOXOX

He Is!

There is so much to Jesus than our minds can see and comprehend.  He is so big and great. This is just a small taste.

Hillsong - Made Me Glad

I will bless the Lord forever

And I will trust Him at all times

He has delivered me from all fear

And He has set my feet upon a rock

I will not be moved, and I'll say of the Lord

You are my shield, my strength, my portion

Deliverer, my shelter, strong tower

My very present help in time of need

Whom have I in heaven but You

There's none I desire beside You

For You have made me glad, and I'll say of the Lord

You are my shield, my strength, my portion

Deliverer, my shelter, strong tower

My very present help

You are my shield, my strength, my portion

Deliverer, my shelter, strong tower

My very present help in time of need

You have made me glad, and I'll say of the Lord

You are my shield, my strength, my portion

Deliverer, my shelter, strong tower

My very present help

You are my shield, my strength, my portion

Deliverer, my shelter, strong tower

My very present help in time of need

My very present help in time of need

My very present help in time of need

 

If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence...? You'd be bored to tears in heaven, if you're not ecstatic about God now! // Keith Green

It was such a good Conference. The theme this year was "Come Away". Coming away from the world and all the things that would distract our walks with Jesus. So much truth and encouragement filled in 2 and a half says. Such a blessing in my life!

Kyle just because he is adorable! 

Kendell was biking one afternoon and he fell on his 2 front teeth. He had to go in on a Sunday to get them all fixed. It was quite a bummer!  

A Little Update

These last few weeks have been so very exciting, in that we have been doing a lot of stuff with the American Liver Foundation. As some of you know, my sweet daddy is climbing Mt Rainier on June 4th. The reason he is doing so is mainly for my mom who has liver disease. He is raising money and awareness for the American Liver Foundation. It has been such a fun time. My dad has been doing lots of training for the climb, and the rest of us are doing fundraising. It has been an awesome family experience! One of the fun things we have done, is gone to a fancy dinner. It was truly an awesome experience. Lots of yummy food, and of course it was very cool to get all dressed up.

Here we are with Joe who works with the American Liver Foundation (ALF) here in Colorado.
