Joy Stauffer's Wedding - Now Joy Burton

Here we all are - this was just a week and a half ago

Isaac was Joy's Ring Bearer

My beautiful family - Anna (Jim's girl) in my lap joined us :)

Our evening out to dinner at Machine Shed . . .

Here are my three angels - thank the Lord for the blessing of children!!!

They are already taking after their daddy's interests !

This is my baby boy, he is something else :)

This is my precious little girl :)

At the park

Here are some pictures of the kids at Stillwater park also, Jessica & Josiah at Bella.

Hannah's Birthday party at the Patton house

We had another party for her at Mom & Dad's house on Thursday, because Aunt Lizzy & Victoria came in from Colorado.

The 4th of July

Here are some pictures from the 4th. We were at the Inlows house (Annette's Mom & Dad). The little girl with Hannah is Anna Jim & Annette's oldest.

Update

Well I found a wonderful Midwife in Hudson & she delivers at Woodwinds, too. We found out that my due date is January 13th. I will be having it at Hudson because it's only 15 minutes away & it's also where Annette had Anna & Joseph, she will also be having the new baby there too (its a boy). She is due September 20th & Dorcas is due January 24th. Dorcas & I will probably be having them around the same time, because Esther & Ezekial came 4 weeks early. We will have a busy full house at the Stauffer get-togethers with 20, and three will be new babies. Mom and Dad are staying busy working alot, helping Jessica get through school. Jessica's burning the candle at both ends!!!! She's working in the ER at HCMC, also at the Mn brain injury institute, taking summer calc class along with statistics so needless to say we rarely see her. We're so excited for her so much is happening and falling into place so well. The Lord has been so good to all of us and we feel extremely blessed and so thankful for God's leading in our lives.

Memorial Day

Monday, Memorial Day, we went to Valley Fair & got our season passes. The kids had a blast!

They weren't raised in a barn, but they sure like it

The boys climbed in side of their barn we got them for Christmas. We still don't have internet at our house, so when I get a chance at Mom's I try & update. Sorry it has taken me so long.

What a surprise!

Well everyone we have some surprising new's. We are expecting again #4, can you believe it. I'm even having a hard time believing it, but we are very excited especially Isaac & Hannah. The baby will probably be here the beginning of January, at least it's not December (Isaac & Josiah are both in Dec.). Pray for us I want to have everything done at the house by the time the baby comes. Isaac keeps watching my stomach & every day he says "Look Mom its growing".

My three angels - they are so special to me!!!

Kate's Senior Play - "Anne of Green Gables"

Kate (Gary Percy's girlfriend) had her Senior Play at Chisago Baptist School this week-end and it was "Anne of Green Gables". The kid's did an excellent job of it! Kate had the part of Rachel Lind, the neighbor lady. We had a great night of fun and fellowship! :)

- Easter Sunday -

These are my precious angels at Easter!!!

We've moved in!

Well we are finally in.. We moved in last Saturday, but things are still kind of in the air & I keep forgetting to bring the camera in to post pictures. Jessica has put a blog together for them & she is going to put some pictures up for me. You can check them out at www.pattonpostings.blogspot.com.
