THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME FAMILY

I am amazed at the gift of having such precious children to raise. These children make me laugh and dream. They make me a better person, to evaluate what is important and what isn't. They make me look into the future and see the brightness that lies ahead - these children are WONDERFUL!

SOPHIE AND CANA

THESE TWO PRECIOUS GIRLS WERE RAISED TOGETHER IN THE SAME VILLAGE IN CHINA AND ARE NOW FRIENDS FOR LIFE! I THANK THE LORD THAT WE HAVE SUCH A STRONG RELATIONSHIP THAT AS THE GIRLS GET OLDER - THEY WILL HAVE ONE ANOTHER!

FAMILY VACATION!

MICKEY IS OUR BEST FRIEND OF ALL!

We just got back from Disneyland, where we met our friends who live in California whom we met in China! We have had such a wonderful vacation, making memories to last a lifetime! We all had just a blast and can't wait to go back! The older kids LOVED the thrill rides and Sophie could not get enough of all that Disney has to offer - Many told us that we were crazy to take all 4 at their ages - but in all honesty, it could not have been a more smooth and fun trip! I just love my family!

THANKS FOR MAKING ME A MOMMY AGAIN

Thinking of how special this mother's day is, I rejoice in the fact that this year I am a mommy once again. I could not feel more blessed. I have the most wonderful four children in the world! Thank you Lord for all of my blessings and for making me a mommy to this precious child!

We had such a memorable time this year. Savannah continues to amaze us with how quickly she is growing up, Tyler amazes us as we continue to try to KEEP UP, Brayden takes life in stride and Sophie is like a little energizer bunny - she goes and goes and goes.... :) - We are so blessed and thank the Lord for our family. He has blessed us with these wonderful kids and we feel a sense of awe and this incredible gift. This Christmas our family is complete - The bunch of crazy Hopps that we are!
