Wow!  Now that Facebook has come about, this blog has become slightly obsolete :(  Maybe it was just the frustrations that I encountered in trying to keep it up.  Whatever the reason, since I enjoy looking at other peoples blogs, I am going to assume that some people enjoy looking at mine.  And..so...we will try this whole blogging thing again.
What is new in the Epps household??  Well...it is the same thing that has been for the last....4 MONTHS..Baseball!  Joshua was chosen to participate in the UCA All-Stars and Charley was asked to be an assistant coach. 

They lost their first game to Castro Valley National...BUT...they won their second game to Treeview! 

The other activity that has been taking up some of our time is that Kristina is in softball once again this year....playing for the Fremont Girls Softball Lady Hawks.  She has been playing catcher and do a really good job at it! 

And finally...to end this post...a picture of  "the boys" :):)

Happy 9th Birthday Boys!!

Happy 40th Birthday to me!!

See what I got for my 40th birthday present!? Front row seats to the Gaither Homecoming concert!! SO EXCITING!! If you have never gone...it is a little bit of heaven on earth. The music is AMAZING and you definitely get your monies worth. I think it was almost 4 hours long! I think I want the same present for my 41st birthday ;);)

Epps Family Christmas Dinner

We had a dinner over at Charley's brothers house and it was a lot of fun. Love it when all the cousins can get together and become better acquainted!





















































Grandma Epps came bearing gifts!

Sunday Christmas Singing

The kids sang a couple of songs and recited Luke 2:11 on Christmas Sunday. What a treat! I love it when they get up there and sing. What a treat for us parents!!

Charley's company Christmas Party

Me and my honey....and he even won a Blue Ray player....yippee!!

Yikes! I have a pre-teen!

This year we celebrated Kristina's birthday by taking a couple of her friends..and her sister...to Fuddruckers and to see The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 3D. It was a fun time. And...her mother even won a Christmas bear from one of those claw machines...you know....the ones that you never win on!? :):)

Decorating the Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

This year we decided to head out to Half Moon Bay and cut down our own tree. It was kind of fun! Memory made :):)

Celebrating a very special someone's 90th birthday

This year, my Aunt Fern turned 90! Wow. She is such a blessing and a TRULY godly woman who loves the Lord and has served Him faithfully for so many years. In my life, she is one of those women that I want to strive to be like. We love you Aunt Fern!! Happy Birthday!!!!















Sisters in Law - Aunt Fern and Grandma Williams (Aunt Fern is my Grandpa Williams' sister)































She is quite the accomplished pianist. At her 90th birthday party, we sang some of her favorite hymns.

Thanksgiving 2010

This Thanksgiving, once again, included both the Milburn and Williams sides of the family. We were also able to have Michael Long, from our chapel, join us. This has been QUITE a year. So many things have happened in our family...sickness, death, changes. Our lives may change...but I am so thankful that the Lord NEVER changes. He is our ROCK! The only ONE who we can FULLY rely on. I am thankful for HIM!

Grandpa and Grandma Milburn along with Grandma Williams

Look how pretty my "find" from Target (the plates were on clearance!) looks with my tablecloth!!

Field Trip to the Capitol

In November, Charley took the day off and we took the Amtrak train to the Capital in Sacramento. It was quite a fun field trip. We even got to see Governor Schwartzeneggers office.....guarded of course.

Field Trip to the Exploratorium and SFO

The kids at the Golden Gate Bridge. When you are leaving SFO, go to the left side of the bridge. It is so fun! Don't remember the name of it, but it was totally a boy thing!
































In the BIG chair at the Exploratorium


















The kids made their own marble maze and I think they must have been there for an hour or more...they had SOOOO much fun doing this. They did a great job and one of the workers even took pics of it.

Ardenwood Harvest Festival 2010

Ardenwood Harvest Festival was once again a special day! If you haven't gone, I would highly recommend it. Lots of fun and lots of photo opps :):)
