Pastor's School 2011

I just got back from a week in Indiana!! I went to the annual Pastor's School at First Baptist Church of Hammond Indiana.Each night the speakers did a great job and it was very evident that they were sensitive to the Holy Spirit and that God was in the midst of every service doing a great work! The speakers for the evenings were:Bro.Raymond Hancock, Bro.Tony Hudson, Bro.David Gibbs,Bro.Johnny Pope,Bro.Larry Brown,Bro.Clarence Sexton,Bro.Roberson and Bro.Jack Schaap! All amazing preachers!!

Precious.....

This is Brantley! He has been dubbed the "part time resident of the Bryant home". :) My mom is watching him while his mommy and daddy work during the week. He always comes so happy and smiley in the mornings(thankfully)! It is so fun to watch how he has already changed and grown since being here for only about a month!


When I saw him lying like this I had to grab my camera really fast to take a picture! Too cute!
He likes to be all bundled up and he just looks so precious!
His perfect little smile gets us every time! He's such a happy baby and smiles at everyone and everything! Sometimes I wonder if he is truly laughing at us....lol!

I'm so glad that the Lord gives us these tiny little bundles to love and care for! I can't wait for the day that I have my own! :) (Neither can mom......)

So it's been...well....a long time since I posted! Honestly,the thought of blogging doesn't cross my mind very often and when it does I'm usually doing something else or just don't feel motivated! I know.Lame excuse.Anyway....I won't even try to give a full update,as our calendar has been so full of things, I wouldn't really know where to start! :)
We have had sooo much snow this winter which,if you like the snow,is great! But for those of us who don't really care for it,it's beginning to get a little annoying.Oh well. Spring and summer will be even more fun because of such the long winter!
I will end this post with the announcement that this blog is no longer "our blog" but just mine as it will be easier to post anything I would like as opposed to asking my siblings what I can and can't post.(This is one reason it's so difficult at times! :)) I will be able to post thoughts from my personal devotions as well as thoughts from Preaching.They haven't shown the interest in this blog that I thought they would so here we go.......Hannah's Blog!

Family pictures

These are the pictures that we had done last week!! They turned out great thanks to our aunt!!
I love this picture! The barn that is in our neighbor's cow lot proved to be an awesome backdrop!
I think the black and white makes this picture really neat.
Can you still call him your "little boy", mom???? :)
Dad and the girls
Nick and dad
Macy's face was too funny!! There is a normal one too but I loved this one!
This is the lake by our house......we all thought that it looked fake!
This picture was actually an accident.....but it's very "real"! Peyton likes to be in the middle!!
Ruby thought she is enough a part of our family to be in a picture or two!
This is just a sampling of allllll the pictures! There were a bunch so I chose my favorites!!The pictures were lots of fun to take! The weather was beautiful and everyone cooperated pretty well (ahem Nick)! Thanks Essa!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Dad!!
Today my dad is another year older....we won't say how old though! :) I am putting a picture of both my mom and dad for two reasons. 1) I couldn't find one of just him that he wasn't being weird in and 2) because their anniversary was October 9th. They have been happily married for 17 years! (That's a long time.)

Wow! It's been entirely too long since I last posted! Here's our summer in a short summary.
Hannah and Nick spent 5 weeks at our church's camp working on staff there.It was a ton of fun but very tiring as well! Macy and Peyton enjoyed staying at home,although picking up all the responsibilities of their wonderful older siblings wasn't so fun! :)
We started school August 2nd!! At first I thought it was a crazy idea, but knowing that we are scheduled to be done mid-April isn't too bad. Nick and I are in our Junior year (yikes!),Macy is in 7th and Peyton is in 5th. So far the school year has been very busy but that is better than being extremely slow and boring!
We just got done with Missions Conference at church on Sunday. It was a busy week but exiting as well!
So that is just a very,very brief update but at least it somewhat catches us up!!
I will be posting some pictures hopefully in the next couple of days and will be getting much more frequent with posting!

So here are just some very random pictures of us! It's really late and I'm really tired so I decided to post some pictures.Some are a little more embarrassing than others and believe me,if I knew I wouldn't have mad family members I could post some even more embarrassing ones. I'm too nice and kind for that though! :)

I guess this isn't us! These are just some baby goats and one of our calves.

That's me(Hannah) and I have a very logical explanation for this picture but we won't get into that tonight!

This is Nick like two years ago! He was (and still is) such a nerd!

Here is a picture of all of us. It was for the cover of the CD we made for Christmas gifts that year.


That's not us either.....just a very fat cat!

Poor Peyton! She was so tired on our way home from church one night that she knelt on the floor of our Yukon and fell asleep with her head on the seat!


The girls were having fun with the camera!!

These pictures make me kinda sad....they look so old!



I think their brains have been a little warped! Just kidding! They are just weird.(That's because they spend too much time with Nick!)
So this post was pretty random but just looking through all our pictures made me laugh! We have so many good memories and I wish I could share them all but it's midnight and I feel like a zombie so I better go to bed!
