Thanksgiving

I am thankful for my 4 sweet little miracles who are all gifts from God. I am thankful for my husband, he is so precious and I can't imagine my life without him. I am thankful for my family, each individual one means so much to me, I could never express to them how much. I am thankful that through Jared's career changes, we can now see that God's hand was on us and he was watching out for us and know that he still is. I am thankful for hardships, that it has made me stronger, given me more patience,endurance,and compassion for others. I am thankful for my home. I am thankful for my friends, for the new ones that I don't know how I had gone so long without and for the old ones who are faithful friends! I am thankful for health in our family. I am thankful for God's unconditional love. I am thankful for his grace and mercy are new every day. Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween

For Halloween we went to our friend's house, The Barrett's and had alot of fun! Gracie was Hannah Montanna, Kylie was a High School Musical Cheerleader, Joey was Batman, and Jack was a bat. (In case they weren't obvious!)

It's been awhile...

It's been awhile since I blogged! I have been busy and trying to adjust to be a working momma! I am working for my mom at Southlake Florist 3 days a week. She has gotten really busy and needed extra help and I have always loved her business and flowers, so it fell into place for me to work for her. I get to bring the boy's and they just ride along while I deliver or play while I do paperwork, take call's, etc...I am really liking it but it's an adjustment from not being home all the time. We are all doing great. Jared is doing good at Baker Hughes and has just started making commissions on top of his salary so that was an awesome, unexpected blessing. We both feel like this is where he is supposed to be for now and it is a great job, and we are excited to see what happens in the future, career wise, for Jared. I told you about me working, I am plenty busy with that and am also very involved at the girls school so that keeps me busy as well. The girls are both loving the 2nd grade and loving their teacher. They are getting straight A's and have all E's in conduct. I am so proud of them. Joey is as funny as ever and is really into race car's right now. His train obsession seems to be over for the moment and is now all about fast race cars. Jack has FINALLY started walking. He will be 21 months next week, so it took him awhile but he is a little toddler know and it's too cute! Everyone is trying to decide what to be for Halloween. We change our mind's very frequently around here so we tend to wait until the last minute to get costumes but I think we are going to find some this weekend. I will post picture's soon.

Music

Normally in the car we listen to 106.1 which is pop music, and my girls love to sing, they learn songs really quickly. I realized a couple of weeks ago and was convicted of the fact that there are some VERY inappropriate songs on the radio that they do not need to be listening to. (nor do I) How about this one, "I kissed a girl and I liked it" Um yeah, you definitely don't want your 7 year old daughter singing that song! So I have turned off the radio and put in a Gateway worship CD. It is so peaceful and I love it! The weights of this world bog me down so easily and when I listen to it, I feel lighter, refreshed, renewed, and encouraged! So the other day, we were listening to it on the way to school and I took the girls in and got back in the car and it was back on! I heard Joey in the backseat singing the words with the song, he was singing "Worthy, Worthy, you are Worthy, worthy to be praise" It was the sweetest, most precious sound I have ever heard, to hear that little 4 year old voice singing praise to God. I was immediately reminded that is how our Heavenly Father feels when we sing praise to him. He loves it so much. I want to encourage all of you to put in some worship music in the car and see what a difference it makes in your life!

10 years and still going strong!

Today is our anniversary! I can't believe it's already been 10 years. I am so thankful for a wonderful husband, and for the best 10 years of my life, with many more ahead!

Joey's 4th Birthday party

Joey turned 4 a couple of weeks ago and wanted to have his party at the train station again this year! We had lots of fun and all went to eat afterwards!
