Pima County Fair

Fun stuff! Zion entered 3 projects into the Pima County Fair! 2 Lego projects and a painted rock lion! We are so proud of him! Last night the fair opened and we got to go see his projects on display. His joy and excitement to find his stuff was SO memorable and fun! Plus, to find 3 BLUE ribbons on his projects that he worked so hard on was just icing on the cake! :) Fun fun! It also brought back so many fun memories of my brothers and I searching for our various projects. Good stuff! Zion LOVED the while experience. And he got a true fair experience. :) complete with Piggly wiggly fries, being the Orange team cheerleader for animal races and cheering on a turkey, and fair rides! His favorite part was riding in a ORANGE monster truck ride! :) While he was nervous about it at first, he LOVED IT, and begged to take me riding in it after his ride with daddy. :) In his own words, "IT WAS AWESOME!!" It was a bit chilly, but Ellie loved everything and didn't want to miss a thing. :) She especially enjoyed watching her brother jump around and dance in excitement as we walked around. :) Fun stuff!

My Hubby

This was about 8 years ago, Brandon had just graduated Coast Guard boot camp that morning and we were out exploring Camp May, NJ. What a fun day! Our wedding was only a couple months away... We look like babies! lol. Anyways, I just found this picture and am so thankful to be married to my best friend! My one and only. God has blessed us tremendously and our time together only gets sweeter. To all you newlyweds out there: Don't expect your 'honeymoon' to end. Let it just keep going! Each day, each year, each season of life shared together CAN just keep getting sweeter and sweeter! With GOD at the center of your marriage, this IS possible. Through prayer, selflessness, and learning to communicate well with each other, marriage is AWESOME! Enjoy each other! We'll have been married 8  years this year! Woohoo! Can't wait for what's next with my man by my side!

He is Risen

Easter! We had a beautiful day celebrating the fact that Jesus Is ALIVE! Praying you did as well! It was kindof also a day of rest for us as my little brother Tyler got married on Friday, (IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT!) and we had family in town and made the classic big ham dinner on Saturday. :) So while we may have just had leftovers on Sunday, we fully enjoyed celebrating the fact that our Saviour has risen from the dead to save us and is NOT still in the tomb, but is ALIVE and preparing a place for us in heaven! Do you know Him as your Saviour? Do you trust that He died for you? If you don't know for sure that you're going to go to heaven please let me know. I'd love to pray with and for you! My email is bczderton@yahoo.com and I can email you my phone number. Seriously, I don't know how I'd function without my relationship with Jesus, my Saviour.... He wants to be your Saviour also.

Cuties

These 2 are the life of the party in our house!:) we just can't get enough of them and their awesome personalities! God is GOOD! SO thankful He chose to give these 2 to us!

JOY

I praise God that His JOY is a renewable resource! When I'm running low I don't need to come up with it myself, but I go to the source of my Joy, Jesus, and He gives me a refresher. His Word is GOOD and just what I needed this morning! Maybe you do too? He will refill your JOY-tank if yours is running a little low this morning too! :) I'm praying that whoever reads this be BLESSED today and be filled with JOY that can only come from Him. :) I heard a great illustration this week: Clowns can make you happy, but JOY comes from God. :) There's a difference. JOY comes despite your circumstances. He can give you JOY despite any storm or season you may be in! Okie dokie. There's my sermon for the day! Haha. :) Be blessed!
