That is what I have this morning. Thankful to know that I am saved and will be with Jesus one day when He so chooses. Thankful for a beautiful home, Thankful for 2 cars that at least run! Thankful for all my saved relatives. Thankful for a beautiful, wonderful family of two boys and one grown boy!! LOL! HA! Thankful that I had such a wonderful pregnancy and such a good delivery and a very healthy boy this time PTL, PTL, PTL!!!! AMEN!!
My heart got feeling much more thankful this morning when Trevor once again slept for 9 straight hours got up, drank his bottle, I looked at him and smiled and he looked at me and smiled back!!!! What a sweetie!
Tyler slept all night last night too. I was very thankful for that seeing that we got to bed at 1 a.m. this morning and had been up a total of 18 hours yesterday!! We all needed the sleep last night.
We have so much to be thankful for. Some days it is harder to see when things do not seem to be going our way. But, the one constant in our life, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, can help us get through anything and ALWAYS will give us a reason to be thankful!!
We had good services at 2 different, new churches yesterday. We spent the afternoon with some friends of ours then headed to the next church. Tyler did not get to play his mandolin yesterday morning because of time and was NOT to happy with us after church. However, he did get to play last night and did a WONDERFUL job as always! He is a joy........and a little stinker!
Thank you for your continued support to us and the ministry. We enjoy it all and are so THANKFUL that the Lord allows us to do what we do. Until next time lets go tell others about HIM so that they too can experience this THANKFULNESS in HIM!!!
God Bless,
Andrea

Above and Beyond!!
This is what I got accomplished!!! I ended up doing 900 Cd's 100 DVDs, sang two times in between and did background vocals for a guy that Mark has been doing a recording for. And also trying to meet the needs of my family.
God was good to me for me having accomplished this, plus Mark got all of his work in the studio done for the clients as well ( SO HAPPY FOR HIM).
Mark and his two best friends from college are going up north tomorrow to ride four wheelers and check his deer cameras. I am happy for him to have a break and hope and pray that they have a fun, safe time.
We sang Saturday and Sunday. We had a great time at both places meeting new nice people again this week. It was good to see some friends of ours The Thurston family and the Cavalrymen Quartet Saturday night. It is always good to see them and sing with them.
Tomorrow Trevor has his first month check up. That's right he hit the 4 week mark this past Thursday! I cannot believe it. He is so cute and we fall in love with him more each day. Tyler loves him so much which is awesome to see. He is VERY protective of him and wants to know where he is all the time.
Mark celebrated his Fathers day today being a dad to not one, but two boys....you go dad!! You are a great husband and dad........ ALL THREE OF US love you VERY much!!!
I and Mark's ( mine too!) friend from college's wife and their kids are going to hang out together tomorrow while the guys go up north. I think that we might try and take them to Chuck E Cheese and then let them play in the pool ( kiddie pool) I WISH we had a real one!!! That should make them good and tired so that they will sleep good for us all tomorrow night!!! This is the plan!!!
Thank you as ALWAYS for your continued support to us and the ministry. We are on the go again this week. Singing Tuesday and I know for sure Sunday, but I think we sing Saturday too. I should look at our schedule more often.....hahahah!!!LOL!!
We will talk to you again real soon. Take care and have a blessed week.

100 Down 800 To Go!
That is how many Cd's I have left to go!!! I plan to try and do at least 100 more today and pace myself like this the rest of the week. Trying to juggle feeding times for Tyler and Trevor is a chore in between trying to work in the CD room and the house chores.
I have a lot of clothes to fold as well and a few errands to do today. This week is revival at our church so we are trying work hard during the day to try and make it a few nights.
Tyler is doing great with Trevor. He kisses and hugs him all the time and worries when he does not see him or cannot find him. I teased him the other night. He was asleep on the couch and did not see him so I told him that I took him back to the doctor because we were done with him. He got so worried and upset that he sat down on the kitchen floor crossed his arms and started to pout!!! I quickly picked him up and told him that I would NEVER get rid of him or Trevor and took him to see where is was laying down. He then said," Mom you did not get rid of him, I walked right by him and did not see him!" He was so happy to see him that he kissed him.
We had a great time at our meetings that we did this week. God was good to us and we met many nice people.
Thank you for your interest in our ministry. Keep checking back with us. Mark is going to post a new video from Sunday and new pictures too!!!
God Bless,

Sleepy Heads
That is what the Forester family is today!!! Mark has been working SO hard in the studio on 3 projects for other people and has a man in the studio right now as I type!
We had good meetings but a LONG day for ALL 4 of us! We got home, situated and in bed by about 12:30 a.m. Tyler got up once while Trevor slept until 8:05!!
It is now almost 2 p.m. and I am putting Tyler down for a nap in hopes that I can run to town to do a few errands with just Trevor and leave Tyler here with Mark. He is SO tired and I have already found that this is very difficult to take him when he is tired with me now that Trevor needs the cart at the grocery and there is no room for him to sit or lay. He has to walk. It is definitely a little more challenging these days.....but I always did like a challenge and I........GOT IT!!! HA! Wouldn't trade it for anything though. They are both great in there OWN way!!
I have a few hundred CD jobs to do this week and also just juggling the kids and their needs, pray for me too! Your prayers are coveted!
Thank you for your prayers for us and the ministry as well. PLEASE continue to pray for Mark as he still has A LOT of work still yet to do. Thanks again and God bless as you serve our Lord this week.

WE MADE IT!!!!
Yesterday was our first adventure with the two boys! God was good to us in the traveling with the two of them.
Trevor slept through both services. Just like Tyler he has already heard enough of us( lol!) after all he heard it for nine months already! Tyler was a good boy playing right next to Trevor while we sang. He played his song Sunday morning but fell asleep Sunday night. However, we got in the car and down the road a little ways and he said, " Hey, guys, I didn't do my song!" we then told him that we called him but the people that he was sitting with said that he was asleep. We told him that next time we sing and he was awake he could do his song. Remember, this is his moment to shine with us on the road and he lives for it!!
It was a short night for me. Trevor slept all the way home, was up until 2 a.m. and then got up at 8:20. Although I cannot complain that is 6 hours straight that he slept. I got some sleep. It is just that Sundays are such long days for us that Monday mornings come to fast and 6 hours sleep on Sunday nights are NOT enough. Tyler also got up. So this is a day for some naps around the Forester home!! YEAH!! Maybe I can fit one in???
Anyhow, today is errands day as usual. Post office, groceries, and laundry. I have added a few extra " Little guy" clothes to the laundry pile. The weekend always adds quite a bit with us changing our clothes several times like we do. That's life :) !
Thank you for your prayers. I will be busy keeping the boys happy.......ALL 3 of them and possibly some CD jobs to get done too. PLEASE pray for Mark he has a lot of studio work to do and this is a lot of ADDED pressure on him. All I can do is pray for him too. I wish sometimes that I could help him to take a load off, but I can't. If he wasn't SO talented he wouldn't have this problem....LOL!
Talk to you later. Come see us sing if we are in your area sometime soon. We would love to see you. Thanks again for your prayers and support to us and the ministry!!
