Car problems

Last night as I was praying for my family, I was reminded of the wonderful things that God has given to me. I have so many things to be thankful for. One of the things is for my car. We did have two cars over a month ago, but Rob's car died about 5 weeks ago. He's worked so hard on it trying to get it to run but we have found out that there is something wrong with the engine itself. So after dumping a couple thousand dollars into it we are down to just one car for good. But there is much to be thankful for in all this. If we didn't have my car then we would have no car at all. Rob is able to get to work every day and we can run errands on the weekends. It is hard though, I've had to cancel dr. appointments for the kids and I can't do any summer ministry for CEF. Please pray that we can get another car soon. God knows our needs and in His timeing we will have a second vehicle. I would love to see my husband trust the Lord in all this. Perhaps that is What the Lord is haveing me wait on. Now that would be awesome.

The 4th of July

We had a blast on the 4th. Sam and Kecia and all the kids were here. We went to my sister's for a BBQ and for a ton (I mean a ton) of fireworks. Thank you Ryan!!!!
I didn't get many pictures. I kept forgetting to take them. The kids had a blast. Logan helped Ryan set off the fireworks. Colton played so hard he was out cold before we got home and we only live ten minutes from my sister's. Alainna was in awe of the fireworks and didn't even cry. I made an awesome dessert. I had never made it before and I want some right now. All in all, it was a great day.

Hello from the Kriegers

We are so excited to finally be able to share what is going on in our family with everyone we love. We just finished enjoying some pancakes and now the kids are cleaning up and getting ready for the day. Logan is enjoying his time with his cousins from California. He is so happy to be done with school for the summer. He will be in 7th grade this fall. (Yikes!!)
Colton turned 2 on June 2nd. His party was a blast with Cars as his theme. He's huge now and wanting to learn about everything around him. He already knows his alphabet.
Alainna will be 1 on August 14th. She already knows 3 words; Dada, no and hi. She could walk if she wanted to but she realizes she gets around faster crawling for now.
Rob is still working long hours at UPS Freight. We are down to one car for now so he takes my car to work. We are praying for a car and know that God will provide.
I'm expecting our 4th child in January. We are very excited and very tired. I'm twelve weeks right now and finally over the morning sickness. It was a wonderful surprise to find out. We love all of our children and consider them blessings from God.
