The slime

Dad has the day off so we are going to have a fun day! Check out the slime we made thanks to the coolest gift EVER from our Gigi!

Winter!

Having a great time. It's almost Christmas!

Dub touched a snake at the zoo!

Payton was a little afraid when we seen the snake at first but after he had a minute to think about it he wanted to go back and check it out. Didn't take him long to get it out of his system..... lol check it out!

Payton's Lanket!!

Payton loves this Lanket. It was mine when I was little and I have no idea why, but this has been his comfort item since he was little. He was never given this blanket over any other but this is one he took to. The funniest thing is he STILL to this day won't sleep without it, (he is 4) and he refers to it like it's human. Where is Lankey? Lankey is all clean! He needs to sleep with me..... ect! Silly boy, how I love you!

Dallas trip!

We had a great trip to Dallas in November! Gigi and Papa got Brandon tickets to the Cowboys for Christmas, so while they were there Dub and I got to check out the Zoo! SO MUCH FUN.

Gigi, Papa, Brad and Dad had a blast too, can you tell?

Zoo

Look how much fun we had at the zoo!

Prayer!

O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say, even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." Psalm 139:1-6, 23-24

Gianna Jessen "abortion".

This hits closer to home then most of you will ever know. Choose LIFE!

"I don't belong to you I belong to Christ, I'm his girl and I'm a princess! So no matter what you say in all your bitterness and range it's not mine to keep, it's not mine to carry.... AND I WON'T!"

Back to school

We changed schools this year!!!! Brad was in his third day of 2nd grade at Parker and we got the call from Washington that they had a spot for us. We had a short time to decide, so we went to tour the school again, and knew right away that this was the choice we had to make for our smart bear. We are a few months into the year and we are still having a little bit of trouble getting settled in, my prayer is that he quickly finds his place and loves his new school. Washington is a math and science institute, it is such a wonderful school. Washington is across town so we have a new adventure, the bus, and we also wear uniforms that we are getting accustomed to. I personally like the uniforms but I'm not real sure brad shares my enthusiasm, if you catch my drift ;)

Here also is a paper he wrote in 2nd grade that I just loved. This completely showed off his personality.

A summer of change.

Swimming: Round 2.....

Brad got a refresher course this summer and for Pate this was round two. They both had a blast meeting new friends and learning how to swim. I loved the pictures we got because they show their personality. Payton was trying to be a super hero and Brad is all karate kid :)!

Things I don't understand!

Superhero's!

If you come to our house on any given day you would most likely find a superhero ......

Of some sort!

"Super dish boy?"...... He fights crime one dish at a time!!!

Sweet Karate Angel...... "I'll knock you out with my cuteness"!!!
Samson, (what happened to his long hair?) or as he is know around our house "SamSam".
The amazing Spider Dude...... making sure the baseball players are safe from crime.

Mario VS Spiderman...... I guess even the good guys go bad?
Oh no not Molly...... I was so sure she was one of the good ones!
It's all in a hard day's work.....

Mother's Day!

Dad and the boys were super amazing to me this year for mothers day. They made me these cute flower planters and dad even took some great pictures so I could see all the hard work they did! I loved them!!! Now if I could only keep plants alive :/

Pinewood Derby Boy Scout Style!

Troop 153

Even Pate was excited to line up his car that daddy help him build (not pinewood style but it was a fun project *see car to the far left*). Didn't the boys do great!!??



Brad even won third place! WTG buddy!
