Building Houses in Mexico-Casas Por Cristo 6/2008

Our friend John by the "John". The Mexicans mainly use out houses in this city of Anapra.

This is me with Mya. Her family is the one who we built the house for.

Me with the lady who we built the house for.

My oldest son Chase the carpenter.

A strong foundation.

The building crew. I didn't help build but I still got in the picture :). I helped cooked for our hard workin' construction crew. They were amazing. They built one home in 4 days with mostly women and children.

My family in front of the new abode.

Me and Miss Maria. She is the head of the church where we stayed. She is an amazing woman. Her husband use to be the pastor but he passed away. I could write a book about what an incredible woman she is.

Raising the walls.

The Crew.

Ok. So now that that was successful, I'll try again.

This blog is intended to keep family and friends, both near and far, both old and new up to date on the happenings of our family. Here are some pictures of our family.

Our family visiting the Duggar's and the Bate's Family. The Bate's are our dear friends from college. We visited with them this summer down in Arkansas at the Duggar Home.

Michelle Duggar, Kelly Bates and me. We had fun shopping this day.

Jim Bob Duggar, Gil Bates and Shane. Notice Jim Bob on crutches. He got clobbered in a game of jailhouse with the kids. The fellas had all the kids while us ladies had a girls' day out. Poor Jim Bob got the short end of the stick that day.

Alexis with Michaela Bates and Janna, Jinger, and Jessa Duggar. They had fun "doing hair do's" that night.

First Blog Ever

Hi,

Well here is my first attempt at blogging. I suppose the first few will be done on a trial and error basis. So bear with me. I'll try to attatch a photo. Here it goes.......

Wow. I did it. This is a picture of me and my "from the cradle to the grave" bestest friend in the whole wide world. This picture was taken this summer. Her name is Michelle and that's her precious new baby Nicolas. I love them to pieces. :). OK now I'm going to try to officially post this so here it goes.
