God Bless the Children (More Bolivia Pics)

It was so fun to see how Nathan, Jubilee, & Micheala had grown. More fun than that was to watch Ruthie and Chelsea play with them. I truly believe the little ones all remembered each other and picked up with their friendships where they left off in January. Chelsea had just as much fun as Ruthie did playing with everyone. I don't think I realized until we saw the kids play together how much encouragment they would be for each other. We got to witness Nathan's first steps. Since getting home Ruthie calls Micheala on her play phone. "kawa, kawa" and when she doesn't answer she says "ah man", like I can't believe she's not answering. :) Jubilee is so smart, she is already potting training and doing very well. Katie is making me look bad. I don't plan on potting training Ruthie until she is 4!! :) Just kiddin 3 1/2. :)

Chesser's go to Cochabamba, Boliva

Austin Ave. Church of Christ, where we worship, has sent a team of five missionary families to Cochabamba, Bolivia to spread the Gospel. Also Billie Gill, an awesome Christian women has joined for one year. We have had the priviledge to be involved in this process. Two years ago Rodney and I along with the the team and others went to research the city. While we were there we found out what the cost of living is from cars to apartments. This past January the team left for Bolivia after a 6 month internship in Brownwood. Our family was priviledged to get to go visit and encourage the team. Of course we were the ones encouraged. While we were there a place for the Church to worship was found. It is the perfect size. It has a spacious down stairs and additonal space upstairs for class rooms. It also has an area for a kitchen and fellowship. Until the building is ready the Church is meeting in the contact center, which is where the Team's offices will be.

Ruthie in pappy (pacifier) heaven!! !!! :o)

In the Chesser household a few months before you turn two it is time to start the pappy weaning process. She would usually be doing without it during day only needing it at night. But do to the trip to Bolivia we just got back from, Mommy has made an exception to the rule. She can have as many pappies as she wants at any time of the day until Mommy has recouperated from the Bolivia trip. In this picture she has 5 pappies. Isn't she so cute. I will write more soon about our wonderful trip to Bolivia to visit our missionaries from Austin Ave. Church of Christ.

"Cool Chesser Chicks!!!!"

These "Cool Chesser Chicks" are not only cool but beautiful. If I do say so myself as their mother.

Chelsea continues to have a busy summer. Right now she is a camp where she is helping under privileged children. She has also been helping serve lunch to the Boys and Girls Club here in Brownwood. She is continuing to grow and learn about service for the Lord.

Ruthie also continues to learn. Right now her favorite phrase is "Moma I need, I need my drink, I need my pappy, I need out my room". Of course she is very convincing with her beautiful blue eyes.

All four of us are about to leave for Bolivia for a mission trip for our congregation. We have 5 missionary families that are in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Our hole family is getting to go visit. we are so excited. Please pray for our safety and that we will be encouraging to our brothers and sisers in Bolivia.

Congratulations!!! Missy

We started our summer by going to my little sister's gradution from the Police Academy. Missy was chosen to be class president and also recieved a scholarship from a local Rotary Club. She also was one of two students that gave a speech at the ceremony. We also had a party over the weekend for her. We are very proud of her. So if you are ever in the Cuero or Victoria area and a tall,blonde & pretty police officer stops you to give you a ticket it just might be my sister. The above picture is when she got her diploma. I am a very proud big sister.

Chelsea has spent a week her Memaw and Paw Paw and has gone to church camp in New Mexico. She has also spent a lot of time with her friends. While at my parents they let her drive on some back roads so that is newest interest of hers. When we come home from somewhere we stop at the end of the street and let her drive the rest. She does very well.

Ruthie stayed with my sister and my parent for a week. She had so much fun and got really spoiled. That's what grandparents and aunts & uncles are for.

This past weekend we went to Rodney's family reunion. His Mom is doing very well. She gets sick from the Chemo and has lost her hair but she looks great. The doctors are very pleased with how the treatments are going. I am acutally jealous of how good she looks with no hair. Thank you for the prayers on her behalf.

My Mom is a cancer survior. Her and my Dad just participated in and raised money for Relay for Life. They where on a team and atleast one person from each team had to be walking. The event is held at the high school track. This is a all night event and my parents made it the whole night.

Rodney has been umpiring softball this season and really enjoying it. He loves being out there with the kids. I have to pay attention who I sit by when I go watch games, when some complains about a call I want to take knock them out. :) Rodney says I can't do that.

God Bless you and have a great Summer!!!!

Alexander James Chesser Dec. 27 1994 May 4 2003

Today marks a very sad anniversary for our family. Today is three years since Alex passed away. He was such a smart little boy with love for his God, family and life. He worked at everything did and usually succeeded. We miss him so much. We can't wait to see him again in heaven.

(Alex was 5 in this picture, this is one my favorites because it shows his beautiful smile off.)
