Bath time for malachi and nap time in the highchair :)

Awesome, that's all I can say!

Today Bob Gray came out and preached while pastor was away with Mrs. Julie. First our sunday school lesson was about being grateful and not expecting things that aren't yours to begin with. Our lesson was about the prodical son. Then our lesson from Bob Gray was awesome, basically how you should be grateful for all the little things. Then I had jackie over for lunch and we went back to choir at 5 p.m. After choir Bob Gray preached again... this time the sermon was on the judgement seat of Christ. He has got to be my #1 favorite preacher!!!Every year in Texas since I have been younger till now, I still remember going on the soulwinning trip with Bob Gray and I always thought to myself wow, what a humble man, bc he went soulwinning with us. I always admired their church, and I am so greatful for their church, and the ministries. There is something very important I have realized... I miss my Pastor and his wife :] I've never really realized how much they have done until they left, and I am definitely more grateful than ever now. I also have an amazing youth Pastor and his wife. They are amazing, and I see how bad Jeremy wants us to just make it in life and how bad he longs for us to know God, and to have our own personal relationship with him, and that is exactly what I want, and no one is gonna stop me.
Thanks again.

Today was a new day

So today suprisingly turned out to be a good day. As it says in the Bible, we do not weep like the world does. It was so unusual, but the Pastor that did my grandpa's service today went to the book of John where it talks about lazarus being dead and everything, and just last night, I was reading my Bible for the ichallenge thing, and I just read about lazarus last night for the ichallenge program. Another unusual thing, was that, andrew was looking for his black and white tie all Wednesday morning and gave up looking for it, and when we arrived at the funeral place Grandpa was wearing Andrew's tie. It was almost like God was trying to be funny, almost like Grandpa wanted the tie more than Andrew did, just so he could take a piece of his 1st boy grandchild with him :] Thank you to all the people who came out to support our family, and all the prayers as well.
Sincerely,
Ashley Parker and Grandpa Parker

Saying goodbye to the best Grandpa

This morning my grandpa sadly passed away. He had fallen last night out of his bed and about 3 weeks ago was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and liver cancer and was stage 4. He had just started his first chemotherapy on this past tuesday. This morning we say goodbye to him until we get to heaven. He was loved more than you could even imagine. He was always there for all of us kids.... never letting us go without food or an above average christmas. He was the best and will be missed.

Christmas 2008 at Grandpa & Grandma Parker's house :]

We had a really good band practice last night, and the guys are off

Today the guys leave for camp joy.... last night we had our band practice consisting of my dad, nates dad, ron wellman, andrew, nate, and me. Our music is all starting to come together. Today we have the ladies activity, and then tomorrow im going to the mall with Sabrina, which i havent done in forever. Then Saturday night me and nate are going to my school play so i can get some extra credit points. So, my weekend is pretty packed, but im excited.

A weekend together with just girls!!!!!

So this hasn't happened in along time, but me and my mom are spending our weekend together.The guys are going to Camp Joy, so we get the house to ourselves and of course the kids, but they are little, so it will be like old times. I am blessed to have the opportunity to get a weekend with her, im still gonna miss my dad, but he will be back before i know it! Ok thats all.

my dad is off to work and im in school

so yesterday my dad worked all day with andrew and nate on his old car. it was sweet to see them all getting along so well, and how when they are determined to do something they make sure it gets accomplished! :] today im helping my mom with the shopping and cooking dinner possibly and then i get to go to briannas house later. so im excited! ok thats all.

The pumpkin patch was great and so was andrew's 16th birthday!

today is a good day so far

So jeremy announced to us last night that he was getting our caleb project put on the radio on k-love and wbgl. The funny thing is that, I listen to WBGL everyday in piano, so I am super excited that we are getting the caleb project out by radio. I love this radio station and it always seems to help my day get a little bit better. God ALWAYS, without fail uses the radio station to put a smile on my face or to wipe my tears away. I am soooo excited for the caleb project and would love to help Jeremy in any way i can :]

Nathan is getting so big!! and so is my malachi :]

Malachi is one silly baby :]

So im back to blogging again

Hey everyone,
I haven't blogged in awhile, but now im going too :] So, Jeremy and Sabrina's baby Hayden, is as cute as a button. He reminds me of conner when he was first born... little expressions he had when he was sleeping. He is adorable and so is Hayden, and I am soooo excited for them.I love them both. Another great thing that has been going on is, Mrs. Julie called me on stage for that award. Thank You sooo much Mrs. Julie.That meant sooo much to me to get recognized.

he is getting so big

This girl is truely my hero

Sabrina Biziarek, is amazing. She has always been there for me, and the thing I love about her the most, is she is always willing to help others. I love my Sabrina, and I thank God that I came to this church, and he gave me such a great friend that just brightens up my day.

He's getting so big

We're Back :]

So Texas was a blast! We went to the conference for 3 days, Monday,Tuesday, and Wednesday, and then we left Thursday afternoon to go to St. Louis. When we got to St. Louis we checked in at the Marriot hotel. The next morning we got up and ready to go to Six Flags. We spent a big majority of the day there. It was more humid than it was hot. I recieved a lovely sunburn, overall the trip was well worth the time spent to raise the money. Jeremy was nice enough to help drive us around to sell tickets, and Jeff was a great driver, and Mrs. Olvera was nice enough to take time out to chaperon the girls.

Ashley Polk's 18th Birthday Party

... one tired girly

Last night I had a privilege of going over to Mrs. Todd's house to celebrate Ashley's 18th Birthday Party. The first thing I did was, of course, hug the Birthday girl, duh! :] Then we prayed for the food, and then the pizza arrived, which was really yummy. Then Ashley went on and opened gifts from everybody, and then it was time to blow out the candles, which is always special. Ashley is really a blessing to me, bigger than she'll ever know. Sometimes she helps me get through the day, she is such a great encouragement! We then had more incidents that we wont mention because they're too long :] In the end, (besides the picture taking in our sleep), Ashley's Birthday was a success. Thank you Mrs. Todd for allowing all of us crazy girls to spend the night at your house, and for all the yummy food.

Jackie's graduation = happy best friend :D
