I am LOVING this video - tell the guys they did a great job! I especially like when France gets the crap kicked out of "him" :) The bloopers are a nice touch as well. You've got some talented kids!

KEVIN YAIKO!! MRS. Johnson died long before I even met Richard. I am Debbie, please! (I'm NOT old enough to be a Mrs.!) I'm SO thankful you three are enjoying life to the fullest! I love Kristen's "Living My Dream" blog, too. And you obviously treasure the moments with Seth (his blog pics are precious) - believe me, they fly by all too rapidly. I'll enjoy hearing about further escapades. (The chicken boy thing is a HOOT!) May God continue to give you joy!

Hey Kevin and Kristin,

Five years already, huh?! WOW! Congratulations! And here's to 50 more - 500 more - an eternity of "more"!! More than any of us can even begin to imagine!

Rich and I just had dinner with your mom and dad, Kevin, this past Sunday - and it had been WAY too long since we'd seen them. We enjoyed looking at their pictures from their trip visiting you.

Seth is beautiful, of course. You all look so happy and fulfilled. Praise God!

Yesterday Karen and Ryan Peters visited and when I mentioned seeing Bev and George and pictures, she asked if I'd seen your blog. I googled you just now and found you! The internet IS amazing, isn't it?

Do you even remember who I am? Edwards Chapel? Three sons - Alan, Brad and Tyler?

We're happy for you two! May our gracious Heavenly Father continue to guide you and bless you and give you happiness!

Love, Debbie Johnson

p.s. Have you seen this yet? I love it. Sharon Barrows just sent it to me this morning.

G U I D A N C E = Dancing With God

When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a
lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the
other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to
the back
or by pressing lightly in one direction or
another.
It's as if two become one body, moving
beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw 'G': I thought of God, followed by
'u' and 'i'.
'God, 'u' and 'i' dance.'
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.

Let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance!

Happy Belated Anniversary! We miss you both so much and wish you a wonderful 6th year (and many more!) together :) This video is hilarious and awful at the same time. I laughed so hard when she fell... and then thought of what I would've done had I fallen in the water. I would've been TICKED! ;)

Happy Anniversary! I have to say that Kristen takes after her mom in that area. Anyone who can stay with me for over 30 years has to have tons of patience! I am so glad she does! Love you guys!

Daniel really liked the video. Especially the "two ball shot" he kept asking to play the "two ball shot" again.

Hilarious popcorn faces.
