Here's a few pictures of us at the coast this last week. BJ had a conference and we all went. It's become a tradition the kids look forward too- Including the big kids!



Beautiful sunsets as always!


Let's go fly a kite!


Not sure if you can see the string around DJ's feet... that's where the complex knots all started!

Notice our friends' daughter, think she's frustrated? You should have seen Momma after 30 minutes of trying to untangle!


What is it with boys and water? He was fascinated!



These two are dangerous together! They kept getting out further and further just to see how far they could get!
Can't figure out how to delete a picture after it's uploaded??? This one wasn't supposed to be in here sideways but oh well...

The Aquarium was fun! They fed the playful seals that as DJ says, "cough A LOT!" There was an octopus in a tub that I swear was performing. He even lifted himself out of the water once and scared us a little. He was huge!
I want to thank you all for praying for my dad. I talked to him today and he's had some people come over from my mom's church and pray with/for him. He was actually open to it which says so much! He's having a hard time sleeping and has incredible headaches. Tuesday he goes in for an EEG and hopefully will find out when they will do a biopsy. I appreciate your support more than you know. Today in church it was like Jesus brought my emotions to the surface while I've been trying to push them down and the flood gates just opened. I felt like He said, "It's ok to say you're scared Crystal" and when I finally admitted that I am, I couldn't hold it in. I'm so grateful we have a God to give our fears to.
Thank you for continued prayer for my dad!

It's awesome that you are able to let go to Jesus with this. It is ok to be scared. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
