The Month of May in Pictures

Didn’t you always want to paint a picture using feathers? :)

Little artists hard at work.

Si-Guy says “Hi!"

Well...looks like somebody got into Mommy’s makeup!

Using sunflower seeds to practice counting.

And snacking while we’re at it!

Isaac transformed himself into a marching soldier.

Helmet? Check.  Trumpet? Check.  Gun? Check.

Josiah loves his baby brother!

Sometimes a little too much! ;)

Nathan and I celebrated our 5th anniversary by spending a few relaxing days in Ohio’s Amish Country.  During that time, our children had fun with Grandma and Grandpa!

The giant swing.

Grandpa gives a push!

Swinging together.

Meanwhile, over in Amish country, we did a lot of eating.  :)

Here, Nathan is majorly enjoying a Buckeye Sundae complete with homemade custard from Walnut Creek’s main store. (I’m so glad I traveled with Plexus Block for special treats like these!)

A visit to one of the cheese factories allowed us to sample 70 kinds of cheese and about 8 or 9 kinds of fudge.  Nathan was in food heaven!

A view of Amish Country from one of the restaurant parking lots.

We also did a lot fishing at our private little cottage.

Guess who caught the biggest fish?!

The picture doesn’t do it justice, but Nathan thinks this large mouth bass was at least 19 inches long - definitely the biggest I’ve ever caught in my life!

My muscle man. It’s always so fun to go on anniversary trips with this guy!

Back at home, I was super excited to get my new workout program in the mail! (Happy early birthday to me!)  I am LOVING it!

I was also super excited to get my Plexus Action Pack complete with the NEW, enhanced formula of Plexus Slim (that now includes impressive prebiotics) and fun samples to share with others!

Silas continues to be a happy, content baby!

2 months old! He celebrated by sleeping through the night - hurray!

God’s blessings are unsurpassed!

A Plexus Testimonial

Today, I’m super excited to share with you the story of my sweet friend, Tyler Jackson! She is one of my local friends whom I met through church when she started visiting over a year ago. She’s part of a young women’s Bible study I started and comes with her husband and toddler son to our Young Family Fellowship gatherings that we have on occasion. It’s been such a joy to get to know Tyler and to see her love for Jesus and for her family!

Back in November, I held my first Plexus Sip ’N See Informational meeting and was thrilled to have Tyler in attendance! That night, she got excited about what Plexus could do for her! It was several months before Tyler was able to get started on the products, but eventually, her patience paid off. She began taking the TriPlex at the end of February, and before a whole week had passed, she sent me this message: “Just a little update on my health journey for you! ...I have been eating healthier, and drinking more water. I noticed last night that I haven't had any heart palpitations! I can fall asleep faster, and when it's time for bed, I actually feel tired and ready to go to sleep. I used to dread laying down to go to sleep because my brain didn't shut down and I would lay awake for an hour or two, sometimes longer! ... I have also noticed a change when I use the bathroom. It's a breeze.. lol.”

Some of Tyler’s goals for taking the Plexus products were to get help with hemorrhoids, anxiety issues, and the heart palpitations that were anxiety induced. You can imagine how wonderful it was for her to start seeing improvements in all of these areas just days into taking her supplements! 

The following month, Tyler added in the Accelerator supplement which has worked together with the TriPlex products to give her more energy - another goal she had! 

Last week, I checked in with Tyler again to see how things were going for her. I can’t tell you how incredibly happy I was to learn that not only had her hemorrhoids completely healed two weeks in to taking her supplements, but a tear she had had since giving birth to her son A YEAR AND TWO MONTHS prior that had been causing her extreme discomfort when using the bathroom had also had a chance to heal. No longer does my sweet friend dread going to the bathroom or find herself unable to sit comfortably afterwards because of the pain. As one who suffered for 7 months with hemorrhoids and knew the dread of going to the bathroom, I am REJOICING with her and praising the Lord! I am a firm believer that God has designed our bodies with the ability to heal themselves of many problems, especially when using the right tools.

As I told Tyler today, it’s stories like these that are the whole reason I started sharing Plexus! The president of Plexus, Alec Clark, is known for saying, “If you are blessed, then be a blessing.” I was blessed by the products so greatly, I had to tell others, and now getting to see lives changed for the better makes every effort so incredibly worth it!

Thank you, Tyler, for the privilege of sharing your story!

Picture Catch-Up from February, March, and April!

This little cutie is such a ray of sunshine!  He is really taking off with his speech development and is surprising us with new words all the time!

Being silly with pipe cleaner rings from Isaac’s birthday.

February brought the finished product of quad bunkbeds in the boys’ room!  Nathan worked so hard on these, and I am so proud of him!  Don’t they look gorgeous?!

The back wall is made from red cedar wood.  Now, it is time to buy matching comforter sets for all the boys!

In the meantime, my old one will have to do for Josiah. :)

March brought a delightfully fun baby shower with the ladies at church and an abundance of gifts in anticipation of Silas’ arrival.

Sporting matching hats!

Josiah wearing Mommy’s boots.  They went all the way up to his waist!

Finally, some warmer spring days came, and with them, a tire swing in the front yard!

The Double Duo.

Enjoying a snack of popcorn with leftover dark chocolate from Isaac’s birthday.

Playing “worms” by burrowing in their own makeshift tunnels.  Gotta love these country kids and the things they think up! :)

March brought a new project!

Transforming the guest bathroom from this:

into this:

And installing a shower too!  Now, we have 2 full-sized bathrooms! He finished the shower just in time for my mom’s arrival.

This boy.  He’s getting so tall and handsome!

Enjoying a little morning nap outside.

Meanwhile, the big brothers were having fun experimenting with salt, colored water, and droppers on a mirror.

It was a great sensory-art project all in one!

One of my favorite aspects of spring is seeing this tree bloom!

Water table fun!

Silas at 4 weeks.

Hello!

Learning to smile for the camera. :)

Hello again!

Silas at 6 weeks.

Such a happy boy!

And now some home videos for your viewing pleasure. :)
