So much more .....

We knew the business Reid Excavating. www.reidexcavating.com was out there and always heard great things about them...
But I'm telling you they are SO MUCH MORE then excavating!!!!! Let me tell you a few things that make them wonderful to us:
We saw our first sunset since we have been living here on our wonderful land.



They cut and removed 37 trees. BIG tress RIGHT UP CLOSE TO THE HOUSE! They made them all fall just where they wanted them to. Between two houses, a pump house, fruit trees, the kid's climbing tree and so on... They are amazing!!! 15 or more of the trees in the frount of the house were huge!! The two old stumps they removed were even bigger... Well let me just say, you can't tell there was ever a tree there at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No mess, no stumps, no limbs, no hole in the ground... Its like they just disappeared.
OK, it gets even better.... We HAD a horrible drainage problem!!! The road would get more and more blown out every time it rained hard... the lower field would flood and get into our shed and more.. THEY FIXED IT!!!! ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!! I'm telling you they are amazing! They studied what was going on and totally fixed it. They made it look really simple. But they made huge trees disappear with no evidence and made that look simple too!! And the equipment oh man! Anyway they worked on one area and it fixed all the problems even the lower field. We have a nice water feature that is really a new way of draining the water off. I will get a better picture of that soon and put up.

Reid Excavating is so much more then excavating!!! They build houses and bridges too--I think they can do anything.. We are thankful and blessed for the hard work, trustworthyness, outstanding work ethic, a team that is safe to have our kids watch and not worry about bad words or bad behavior; careful and kind. We could go on and on. If you ever need anyone this is the team! If you know someone who has them working on a job, go watch--they are amazing!!! I didn't know the big excavators could look so graceful !! We will have them back to do more work for us in the future.. Praise the Lord for such a wonderful experience... Next I we will see how the grass comes in! Oh I almost forgot WE HAVE A TON OF FIRE WOOD NOW!!! (I will blog about this soon) Click on the link to see more pictures!!

Sarah's quote of the day...

Grandma and Sarah are sitting on the deck watching the sun set... Sarah say " OK now let's comb the hair on your chin.." Thankful for a good hard laugh!

Leah's thought of the day.

Peter and Papa cut down a ceder tree today. Leah and I walked by the tree and she said " Seeds come from this tree you know mama.. that's why they call it a seeder tree.."

St. Patrick's Day!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Maewyn Succat a saint because he belonged to the Lord Jesus Christ died on this day many many years ago. Today we where blessed to talk about Maewyn's message to Ireland as we made cookies (green cookies). Grandma told them the Good New's of how we need to be saved from the wrath of God because of our sin that we are all born into. and how Jesus the only begotten Son of God was born, died on the cross, and rose again! Giving those who turn away from sin and believe what Jesus has done for us, eternal life. That is the message that Maewyn brought in obedience to God, to the people of Ireland the very people who he was once enslaved by.
Today the Pancho's are blessed to have my mom close and teaching the wonderful truth of the Lord, by the obedience of Maewyn Succat, the souls that where saved through his obedience, and by the Gospel that has given us life and can give you life as well!

Reid Excavation!

We have been going back and forth about cutting the trees down in the front of the house for years. Every time the wind storms would come it would be yes lets do it... then I would not want see them go. But the trees just keep getting bigger and bigger... we had less and less sky. The beautiful deck the Peter built for us was covered in fur needles all the time. Then we thought maybe we could cut them our selves... Well we decided to call Reid Excavation. We already knew we could trust them and have heard such wonderful feed back from others about the work they do. Well, I think to say they are good would be way understated. This team does phenomenal work! They are all kind, professional, hard workers, and to see them work the equipment be it chain saws or the big digging machine, is just mind blowing. Truly they are incredible!! Our house is right next to thees huge trees. Everyone of them have fallen just as they wanted and the team takes such care in doing the least amount of damage. It is a beautiful clean work site at all times. Just amazing! We have 7 trees left. We have them cutting a total of 35. I will post again when everything is complete. I am so blessed by this company and the amazing work they do. And this is just a small part of the kind of work they do. They do construction and beautiful site work. Call em if you need help I know you will be happy!!!

Loved from Head to Toe!

I am blessed to have a husband who loves me and takes care of me. I am not a shopper but Peter always makes sure I have shoes! Thank you God for the husband you have given me!

Leah says to Sarah " Teenagers can even drive and they don't even know where they are going!"

Gifts from Auntie Dana and Uncle BB

The girls have been putting on their new hats, scarfs and gloves every chance they get! Play time, going to church, going out side.. they love them!
Judah would rather look at his hat then have it on his head.. He loves the puppets and the girls give him puppet shows with them.. We are thankful for all of our family in all the the different places who love us and think of us. We love them very much and pray for them often. Blessed by family!

Free at last.. One of my Exodus moments

For years my concern was with how things look to others around me (i.e.how my kids behaved or didn't, how I behaved or didn't, clothes, condition of my house and so on) . Sometimes respected teachers seemed to place emphasis on the appearance to the world. Praise the Lord He is freeing me from this. My concern must be with serving, obeying and loving the God who made the stars and the slugs, the giraffes and the gnats, the hippos and the heavens .. then and only then will others "the world" see God at work in my life; only then will it be real. Only then will change that shows the world one who doesn't fit in but stands out to His glory. I will choose to serve the Lord! So when I feel the pressures of fitting the mold I will remember my redeemer and that I serve a great and mighty God and in His strength alone, all things (in His will) are possible. Don't leave bondage for more bondage. Freedom is in the Lord Jesus Christ! (My husband, my house, my kids, and my self belong to the Lord.) Blessed by open eyes...
