Priscilla Ann Watkins April 3, 1960 - July 3, 2008

Rob's Mom died on July 3, 2008. She was 48 years old and was waiting for a liver transplant but wasn't able to get one in time. We're going to miss her more than words can say. She was a great wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend. There's a gaping whole in our hearts but Jesus is slowly filling it with his peace and comfort because we know without a shadow of a doubt that she made heaven her home. We have that hope of seeing her again soon. The most important thing she taught us is that the things in this life are just temporary and not to sweat the small stuff. Why get worried over the petty things in this life. Even the problems that seem so big to us that we feel we'll never get through, isn't God greater? With one touch He can speak worlds into existence. Isn't God greater than anything we may face in this life? Our ultimate Goal is not to obtian things on this earth but our ultimate goal is to make heaven our home and to bring as many people with us into those pearly gates. Sometimes we ask why these things happen in life but tomorrow is not promised to any of us. God is not obligated to this flesh (although he still wants to heal us and see us happy). God's only obligation is to the saving of our souls, if we want it.

Good Pickin'

Hallelujah!

Day at Gay City State Park "Memorial Day"

I'm not much of a "pond" person but we had so much fun just swimming and relaxing on the beach. It was our first swim of the season and Olivia and Reese were so excited to finally be able to go in the water. Reese took a few accidental dives under water but Daddy was right next to her to pick her up. Surprisingly, she recovered quite quickly. Fortunately for the sake of all people, there will be NO pictures of me posted in a bathing suit. Maybe someday when I'm a size 6.

I was surprised that Reese was so comfortable sitting on the sand pail for so long. I guess she was too engrossed with playing in the sand to care if her butt was hurting or not.

Preschool Graduation 2008

Olivia getting ready for her gradutaion. She's gotten so big since last September when she started preschool.


Here is Olivia and her best friend Gwen on their preschool gradutaion day. I can't believe how fast this year went by. It scares me to think how fast the rest of her school years are going to go by. I'm trying to cherish everyday that I have with my kids while their young. It's already flying by!!!

FINALLY A POST!!!!

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've posted on here. It's been a crazy few months and I haven't had time to figure out the glitches in my computer that have been driving me crazy but I finally was able to spend some on here and sort it out. Anyway, the past few months have been good, bad and exciting. Through it all, the Lord has been there with us every step of the way. I've learned there's never a need to worry when we have our heavenly father sorting out our problems for us. Sometimes we want things to happen when we think they should happen but God does it in His time and His timing is always perfect.

This picture is for my friend Sarah Kline who said I should put more pictures of my self on here. So this picture isn't too bad of me. It's Olivia and me at the "Mother's Day Tea" that they had at her preschool which was so much fun. May 29th, Olivia's going to graduate from preschool. I'm going to miss her being so small. I wish I could keep her and Reese these ages forever!

Cute Pictures

Here are some random pictures that I thought were cute.

Olivia was a flower Girl in our friend's, Michelle & Gabe's wedding. She did a great job and she looked so beautiful!
