Ella's funny personality is making us laugh, we hope it will make you smile too!!!!! She is always making this scrumptious face!!There is also a picture of Jonathan and Ella on Father's Day! I praise our Heavenly Father so much for His love and kindness and for the wonderful father He has molded Jonathan to be to our babies!!! We went around and said what we most appreciate about daddy, and here are the kids' responses:

Lilly- "how he takes care of me and provides for us"
Jonny- "because he is SPECIAL"
Braxton-- " because I love him"
Ella- the way she responds to him, I think her answer would be that he is funny!!!!!!
Lauren- "he loves God and teaches our children so much about Jesus" and all the other great qualities that he has could very well make him the best daddy ever!!!

We love our daddy and we also wish G-Pa and PaPa and Papa Snyder a very Happy Father's Day! We love you all!!

Mother's Day, Mother/Daughter Tea and Ella's dedication!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! What a beautiful blessing it is to be a mother, I feel so special today and thank my God for His little precious gifts He has allowed me to take care of and shepard! I love my babies so so so much, they challenge me, bless me, make me LAUGH, give the very best hugs and kisses and just make me PRAISE my Savior! I love being a mommy and watching Lilly, Jonny, Brax and Ella grow and love Jesus! I was blessed to have my mom here in town this week as well, she blesses me and is such a precious servant of God! We enjoyed a Tea at church where we hosted a table and had my sweet friends and their daughters sit with us! It was such a fun time! Today, we got to bring Ella in front of our church and dedicate her! I love how God gives us clear instructions on how to raise our children and live! It was a sweet time and made Mother's Day extra special! I am challenged each day as a mother to love like Jesus and reflect His character!

Beautiful Easter!!!!

It was a beautiful Easter day at the Dobbs house! Lilly, Jonny and Brax were all ready to partake in the festivities at 5:30am!!! Thankfully, their Aunt Brooke held them back until 7am when Ella awoke and we headed upstairs to invite them down for the big day of celebration! They were so excited to head downstairs to find their Easter baskets and look for hidden eggs!!! We enjoyed watching them eat all the candy they wanted until their tummies couldn't take it anymore!!! Then, we headed to church all dressed up and ready to worship our Savior for the gift He has given all of us! We are amazed at the Cross and the new life He has given us in Christ! This was a very special Easter for us as we are praising God for the new Sister-in-Christ we have gained, Brooke, Jonathan's precious sister, has given her life to the Lord and is being transformed in a wonderful way! God is so good and has just excited me as I have witnessed a beautiful work in Brooke's life that I am just amazed at the power of our redeeming Lord and Savior!!! God is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The multitude goes ice-skating!!!

We had so much fun ice-skating, Lilly is taking classes and we all get to go for free after her lesson! We are loving it, Jonny caught on very well and so did Big Jonathan!

Deliverance!!!

After a rejuvenating walk outside on this beautiful day with my sweet friend, I was inclined to share the Lord's faithfulness and goodness and deliverance! He has truly put a new song in my mouth of praise! I have just been reflecting on the Lord's DELIVERANCE! In Psalm 40 it says,
"I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness"
We are to speak of God's faithfulness and steadfast love and salvation and not hide it in our hearts! Through this many will see Christ and will fear and put their trust in Him! What an awesome command! It makes me just jump with joy when I think of how faithful God has been, is and will be in my own life! He has delivered me from all sin and His love is completely shown through this deliverance as He put His Son on the cross to endure all the punishment we deserve! He is faithful each day to provide all the peace, gentleness, patience, joy and love that I so desperately need! He has put in my heart a passion for the lost, and the lonely. He is faithful to deliver those who truly seek Him! So, in what ways has the Lord shown His faithfulness in your life? Let it be known and share with others what He has done and in that it will bring glory to God, does He not deserve your praise?!! Great is the Lord, the Holy of Holies!!!!
