Hello! I'm Jen and thanks for stopping by!
I'm joining the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. I'd like to tell you a little bit about my family. This is my husband.
He likes all things Jeep and Ducati. He loves hiking, rock climbing, fishing, anything outdoors. We've been married for almost 11 years. We're hoping to move to Australia soon, as the Lord wills.
This is Autumn. She's 7. She loves her American Girl dolls. We homeschool and she's in 2nd grade. She also loves to draw and write stories. She's not afraid to tell others that she loves Jesus and that Jesus loves her!.JPG)
This little guy is Cody. He's 2, and he's all boy. He loves being outside. He likes to run, climb, knock things over and jumping in mud puddles. He always comes running to momma when he has a boo boo, which always melts my heart. Daddy's kisses don't work like mommy's.
I am truly blessed. So, a little bit about me. I am first and foremost a Christian. My relationship with the Lord is most important to me, for without that I will fail at everything else. I love being a wife and mom. Some days are trying, but those hugs and kisses and cuddles make it oh, so worth it! In my spare time I love to cook, scrapbook, clean, and organize. Yes, I am a dork! I love a clean and organized house (although you wouldn't know it by looking at my house right now). I listed some of my New Year's Goals here. I love reading (especially missionary biographies) and often do reviews on the books that I read. I also like to post pictures of my messes and successes in the kitchen.
Awhile back I won a Sleep Number bed from 5 Minutes for Mom. So take the time to enter the contest!
...here is a list of the prizes I wouldn't mind winning! #5 Baking Magic for kids, #7 Tupperware Prize Pack, #15 $25 e-gift certificate for Disney Store, #31 $25 Target Gift Card, #73 $30 Amazon Gift Card, or #75 $100 Gift Card for Summit Camping Gear.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Jen!
Following here from UBP, and nice to meet you:) We have a few things in common: I homeschooled, I blog for the Lord, like missionary biographies (have you read Evidence Not Seen?)--I'm sure there's more. You would like my blog, I think. Oh, I also love a neat and clean house:)

Found you from the blog party! So great to find other Christian women in the blogging world! Beautiful family!
Hi there from the UBP...although I am not a big fan of posting pics, but...you have an adorable family!
Many blessings!
We homeschooled until this year...and my daughter is also 7 and loves to tell people about Jesus! Kiddos are so awesome aren't they?! Nice to meet you through the UBP!
I am so jealous of the sleep number, wow, that must have been awesome! And I thought I was doing good winning a $10 starbucks card. LOL
It wasn't until last year that I had even heard of Ducati. My husband just kind of rolled his eyes when I told him. I'm such a girl. :)
Hope you have a great time at the party this week and meet lots of great bloggers and friends! Stop by and say hi when you get the chance.
Stopping by from UBP! Nice to meet you!

Stopping by UBP 2010 to say hi!
You have a beautiful family.
Hi Jen,
Nice to meet you. Happy partying!
Moving to Australia? What part? I married an Aussie 3 years ago and we live in Brisbane. I'm in the States on holiday visiting family in Michigan right now.
Happy UBP 2010!
Hi Jen... Jennifer here. Australia... now that sounds exciting! You have such a beautiful family. I think it is awesome that your daughter loves to tell people of God's love. AWW. So glad to have found you through the UBP.

Hi jen so nice to meet you. coming by from the UBP. Your kids are adorable those big brown eyes..Australia would be awesome, I don't know if I would live tehre but absolutely to visit..
Wow, moving to Australia? That'd be amazing! It will be neat to see if that's what the Lord has planned for you. My girls love American Girl dolls when they were little and still have all their stuff. I miss that time! I agree w/ you that I melt when my boys ask me to kiss their boo boos!

You have such a sweet blog, I am so glad I stopped by! We homeschool, too. This is our first year - my daughter is in preschool. I just love meeting fellow homeschool, Christian mommies. Come visit anytime!
Stopping by from UBP 2010. My daughter is 14 now, but she loved her American Girl dolls (she had 2). Check out eBay. There is a lot of AG items. I got a lot of her dolls clothes & shoes from eBay - a lot cheaper too.
Dropping by to toss confetti, pull up a virtual chair and party with you. Let's have some fun!
I've got my Ultimate Blog Party 2010 post up at Dayngrous Discourse. Plus, I've got giveaways too. I hope you'll surf on over and say hello.

Hi Jen!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your children absolutely gorgeous! I love that little boys need their mama's a little more than little girls. L always calls for mama in the night, and when daddy gets him, he only wants MAMA!! I love it. Love it.
Can't wait to browse around more!
Thanks again!

Oh, go on! I'll bet your house on it's worst day still looks better than mine :) Nice to meet you--stopping by from UBP :)
Stopping by from UBP10. Your children are soooo cute! I have a little boy who is almost 3. Little boys always love their mamas the best! Their hugs are just about the best thing in the whole world! I hope you will take a second to stop by my blog www.merrywithchildren.com. Happy blog party!
What a great family you have and such an exciting move coming up! How great that you won a sleep number bed! We've been wanting one those badly. My hubby likes the bed firm and I like it a bit on the softer side :)
Feel free to come by my blog and read my Ultimate Blog Party ’10 post!

Popping by from UBP.
I've been married almost 11 years too...and have a daughter in grade 2. Australia would be cool...my hubby brought up moving to Romania (where we're headed on a missions trip this summer)...but I think I would miss my family too much.
Hi there! Nice to meet you! I'm stopping by via UBP. I loved reading your blog and will be visiting again! You have a beautiful family. I'm a homeschooling momma as well. It's so nice to meet others and stay connected.
