Krysta

Krysta, we are so proud of you!
Put God first in all things and keep doing your best!

Jr.

Meet Jr.! He is 15 months old and full of laughter.
I'm looking forward to seeing him grow and change.
He loves to run around the fireplace and play with Max.
What a sweet young man!

Happy Bunch

Monday Lauren was out of school. The little guys and I were thrilled to have her here. I had to get a picture of the 4 together. I love that Olivia's new smile has her tongue hanging out! We made a chocolate cake and had fun with the dress up clothes.

Prayers

At each age, stage and understanding each child prays differently. Here is the prayers of my little men….

Dear Jesus, thank you for this food and thank you for everything in the whole world. Amen.
Liam

Thank you Jesus for mom, dad, Austin, Liam, God , Jesus, Kendall, me, Lauren, Aunt Kim, Uncle Terry, Aunt Joyce, Krysta, Cassie, Olivia, Eunice, Tony, Brandon, Kylan, Jennifer. Amen
Beau

Liam is trying to say a fast thank you and get on with eating without leaving anything out. Beau lists everyone he can remember and doesn't care if the prayer lasts 10 minutes he wants to not leave anyone out.

Matching

I’m working with Beau on matching his clothes….so his idea is to find something the exact same color and be done with it. So today I have an orange child!!! Yep…orange shirt and orange shorts. That’s not even the best color for him to wear but he thinks they are his basketball clothes. He thinks his white clothes are baseball clothes and black are his soccer clothes! LOL!!! I know one day he is going to get this…but for now I have a solid colored child!

Corps Protects

Fall weather has started. The air is starting to be a bit crisp. You can stand outside and hear the leafs rustle in the trees. I love this weather. No need to turn the AC on, just open the windows and enjoy the breeze. Now that Austin is doing Cross Country I'm taking the dogs out more often. I took Corps out after Olivia went home yesterday. He heard the wind in the trees and ran out in front of me and growled...air raised and all! Then started to do his stuff...but when the wind pick up he quickly got in front of me again and let out a couple barks with another growl. I couldn't help myself...I had to laugh. I've never been protected from the wind like this before. How sweet...Corps loves me! LOL! This happened about 5 times before he could get everything done. Silly sweet dog!

Luke 6:43

"For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit; nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit."

Boys you are part of our fruit...
Put God first always!
Speak with love the truth always!
Before you decide to take advice from someone look at their fruit! Is it rotten?
Seek Godly advice before you make large decisions.
Don’t make someone else your god.
Thank God for all things!
Don’t settle for less than God’s will.
A mistake only remains a mistake if you don’t learn anything from it!
Remember hurt people hurt people…most the time it’s not really about you, it’s all about their own hurts.
Serve the least and the lost!
Pray for those you love and don’t love…they all need it!
When you know you were wrong apologize sincerely.
Don’t say things in anger you don’t mean.
Be an example!
You won’t crave what you have never done!
Remember the Bible is a love letter….read it daily! God wants you to avoid the pains caused by stepping out of His will!
Your parents love you!
Remember who you are and Whom you represent!


The old saying the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…that is another way to say Luke 6:43
