About Our Family

Benson, Arizona, United States
August 21st 2008, I married the love of my life. April 26th 2009, we were blessed with a son- Gabriel (meaning "God is my strength"). He was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at one month old. But we aren't settling for that. We have faith in God to heal him and give him devine health. Gabriel Isaac, "a miracle waiting to happen." And what a miracle he has been already! God continually gives him amazing health! A year and a half later we had the desire in our hearts to try for a second child. We prayed and trusted God not to give us any more than we could handle- hoping for a healthy CF free second child, and deep down wanted a girl. June 15th 2011, we were blessed with a daughter, we named her Ellie Grace "Shining Light". Two weeks later, we found out she does not have CF. Thank you God for all the miracles you let my husband and I witness ♥

This is it...

I sign the papers for our house tomorrow at 5pm! Our move in date changed to the 20th instead, cause Robert doesn't even get back until the 22nd. So that is much better. Anyways, God is awesome! The end!

So blessed...

God is just so awesome. That is all I can say. I am so incredibly thankful. So we had sold our sectional couch when we moved from our last house for some extra money... It was in great condition. All we had left for living room furniture was two recliners. Which was fine, but a couch would be nice, you know? So my mom has a client who had bought a new couch just because her cat had scratched her other one up a little; and my mom, thinking of us, asked her if she would sell the couch to us for like 50 bucks, and even 50 I was going to be so happy to get it for. So te lady calls my mom back today and says we can just HAVE it. Wow. It is a Lazyboy couch that is maybe a little over a year old. God is great! Not only that, but Robert has been looking around for another vehicle (that runs) to go to work in so that I can have the Escalade home with me. Just a temporary vehicle for like a couple months, and he told one of the guys he works with and the guy said he can just HAVE his truck! Wow wow. God is on our side! Here are some pics of our couch!



Graduated to the sink...



Gabe had his first bath in the sink last night (instead of the baby tub)! Man, he's growing up too fast! But it's also so fun... He loved it, he is still learning he can splash, I let him play with a toy in the water... Here are a couple pics

October Changes...

October brings big changes for our family, Robert gets back on Oct. 22nd, and on the 9th we will be moving to Vail Arizona. We got a gorgeous house. Vail AZ is just a subdivision of Tucson basically. Gabe is finally 13 lbs, that seemed like it took forever. I am so excited to spend Thanksgiving in our first real house (our last house was a townhouse). I am dreading Gabe having to sleep in his own room though :( Vail is about 45 minutes away from Rob's work, but it will be worth the drive. Willcox (the city where he works) is a crumby town to live in. Here are some pictures of our house!








I'm so excited about our new house and Robert coming home for good! Not to mention it's Fall, my favorite season! Gabe has been growing up so fast, he analyzes everything now. He loves pizza crust and popsicles!

"Gabe is a miracle waiting to happen"

That is what a friend of mine told me, and it encouraged me immensely. I am holding on to that. Because that is what God told me also. Here are some of my favorite scriptures that keep me going.



"And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague." Mark 5:25-29

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases." - Psalm 103:2&3

"Heal me O Lord, And I shall be healed; Save me and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.."

"
God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" - Numbers23:19


"O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me." - Psalm 30:2


"He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." Psalm 107:20


"And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick." - Matthew 14:14


"Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security." Jeremiah 33:6

Not That Again...

Little Gabriel Isaac...
That is what he probably thinks everytime I weigh him! This is the scale I weigh him on everyday. I had to take a picture to show him one day when he's older. He's always such a good boy when I weigh him, he's pretty tolerant and still for me to get an accurate weight. He's been growing and doing well! He weighs 12lbs 5oz and is 25 inches long now!

Labor Day Weekend


Robert was teaching Gabriel to play the piano, it was so adorable! Gabe is so amused with music and noises. He has been so observant since the day he was born! He loves to learn, the pediatrician said he is doing all the things 7 and 8 month old babies do! He has learned how to be mobile already, he rolls where ever he wants to go! I can't take my eyes off of him and he's clear across the room! He's so proud of himself! I go to move him back to his blanket and he just looks up at me and smiles all huge. Speaking of which I just had to get up from writing this to move him! He's a smart cookie! Man I love him so much!
