Attention Coffee Drinkers

Sick of your old blend of coffee?
Are your taste buds ready for a change?
Looking for a perfect gift idea for that coffee addict in your life?
Just wanting to give to a good cause?

No, I haven't started an advertising business. Yes, I am trying to help some dear friends of ours.

Our dear friends Vince and Alisa are in the process of adopting two children. One from China and the other from Ethiopia. As you know this is a huge process and they have two going!! What an overload for them. Please take some time to visit their blog and see what God is doing in their lives and soon in two precious babies lives.

If you look in the top right corner there is a link to 963 coffee. This is where you can go to order coffee for you and your entire coffee drinking family. 40% of the sales from this link will go toward them for the adoption expenses. 963 is also a non-profit organization that helps poor farmers around the world. So in essence all your money is going to help people.

I have already purchased some for my Dad's birthday!(Don't tell him though!!)

P.S Whether you buy coffee or not please begin praying for this sweet couple and the journey God has them on! Love you all!!

Noah

Many people are loving the Noah. So I thought I should post a better picture. Erika took a good one so get a good look everyone!!

They're Back!!!

So I was chatting with my good friend Betsy last night when she asked me about the hot dog buns!! If you don't remember the hot dog buns situation then you definitely need to click here and here and here to see what you missed or else you will be completely lost.

The rest of you who know what I am talking about are sitting on the edge of your seats I'm sure!! Yes, we still have frozen hot dog buns left! We unfortunately only have 20 or so buns left. So I talked it over with Betsy and explained how we were getting a little sick of having bun sticks all the time and we haven't eaten them for a few months now. So she gave me the suggestion of making them into a dessert!! As I was looking back at the old posts I realized Paula had given me this idea as well. Great idea ladies!! They were the best so far!!
So, last night I prepared Cinnamon and Sugar Goings bun sticks.

Please everyone calm down....I am sure everyone is delighted to have the bun sticks back but everyone needs to hold their breath because the buns are soon coming to an end!!

Noah Night

Preston had a great idea of having a church get-together with the theme of Noah!
So we had everyone over this Saturday night for a BBQ and fun. We grilled out 3 different types of meat and had tacos. We played a game and then watched Evan Almighty. For those of you who haven't seen that movie it is a modern day Noah movie.
I have lots of pictures so enjoy!! You will see from the pictures that most people are dressed up!! They wanted to dress up as animals and Preston was our very own Noah!!

This is Maria Elena (a friend of Erika's) in the bathroom painting people's faces!

For those of you who have been down here....we finally found a use for the huge bathroom. Everyone was crowded in there. It was a party in the big bathroom!!
Ladies and gentlemen....Noah!! (sorry the picture is blurry...my bad!)

Noah and his favorite rabbit

Erika and Courtney

Silvia and Courtney

This is another Silvia. She came to church last Sunday then came to the party and came again this Sunday. We call her Silvia Magdalena so we don't get confused. I am excited for everyone to meet her. She is so sweet. By the way, Yuri and Erika invited her to come!!

The girls

Noah with his flock!


We had a great turn out at the party. There were 13 adults and 1 child. We had lots of fun and we didn't hit the bed until 3:30am!! But we had a blast and it was fun to bond more as a church family.
Keep praying for the faces you see! We love you all.
~Noah and Mrs. Rabbit!!!

Spud Max

Does this look familiar? It's a Spud Max!! No, we don't have a McCalisters yet but we can still make some of the food.



Mr. McCalisters even approved



It was such a nice taste of home to eat one of our favorites. Preston really enjoyed the nice surprise. Halfway through making dinner I thought...I wish I would have made sweet tea as well!

Incite into our lives!

Thanks to YouTube we are able to watch American Idol. We just have to wait for the show to be over and for a complete stranger to load the videos up and then we get to watch them. We are normally one day behind. So we watch on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! But it is so awesome for us to stay connected to AI. The thing that cracks me up is the person who is uploading the videos to YouTube has no idea how they are blessing our lives down here in Mexico. It is funny how the little things do matter.

My friend Andrea did a post about American Idol and I thought....What a great idea! Andrea you are so brilliant!

Just to give you a picture of what we do. We open up YouTube, find all the videos, pull up our chairs to the computer, make popcorn and cheer on our favorites. Oh it is the life!
Here are our favorites
This guys is just so sweet

We like him because he is from Missouri!!

We don't have a favorite girl yet. We really feel like the boys are dominating this year! We will see what happens... Now you know something else about our lives!!

Celebrating our Love!

Well we finally celebrated our love this weekend. (Instead of V-day) We decided to have a really nice dinner at home. Preston grilled an amazing arrachera steak! We even got dressed up for the occasion. It was a fun night.
Here is Preston coming in with our steaks!

For those of you who know us well you know we love to dance. So we decided we would clear out the living room and dance. We danced for over an hour. It was a blast!

PG- Thanks for making our life so much fun. I love every minute I get to spend with you. I love you!
