For the Love of Dogs

Peyton made a new best friend while we were in Kansas City! This is her buddy Taylor. I so wanted to sneak that little cutie pie in my bag and bring her home! But, I think Christopher would have stopped me, heehee;)

Future Hockey Players........

Logan and Peyton go this super fun Air Hockey game from my parents at Christmas! Both of them just love it! Logan finally has someone to play it with him:):)

Could very possibly be my new favoritiest show;)

I just started watching this show on lifetime yesterday and I LOVE IT!! I am always looking for new ideas on ways to eat healthy but still have lots of taste! I am super excited!! Even about to order the cookbook! Check it out on lifetime!:)

I Fuzzy Heart Awana

Logan officially completed his first year at Awana!! HE LOVED IT!!!!!!!! He made lots of new friends and learned so much about Jesus! His teacher told me he was the best one at memorizing memory verses and he was one of the youngest ones! He does have a wonderful memory and I am so happy it is full of God's word. During the closing program tonight, he was the only one to say his memory verse outloud! This mama was PROUD:) Logan will be a Cubby again next year because of his age, even though he keeps telling me he wants to be a Sparky;)

I am so thankful for these programs that open up to the preschool age! This age is sooooo important and they soak everything up like sponges. I will enjoy the break this summer but I can't wait for Logan to start up again next year!

Just a few thoughts

Some of these verses are talking to Elders and to young men but I can take SOOOO much out of them. Especailly as a wife and a mommy. I wanted to share them with you all and open my heart with you where God is really trying to change me lately, Boy do I have a long way to go.

This first verse is one that I just keep running through my head since I saw it on our church board on Sunday. Little does Maryanne know how much this verse would affect little old me this week. I am always trying so hard to better myself, my apperance, my home, my kiddos(even my hubby at times) but most of the time I miss the most important thing of all...my spiritual self. This should be my first area...ALWAYS. But yet, I struggle with making it my number one priority so much.

I hope these verses enrich you today as they have me.

Proverbs 31:30 " Charm is decietful, beauty is vain, but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

1 Peter 5: 3-11
3 Don't act as if you were a ruler over those who are under your care. Instead, be examples to the flock. 4 The Chief Shepherd will come again. Then you will receive the crown of glory. It is a crown that will never fade away.
5 Young men, follow the lead of those who are older. All of you, put on a spirit that is free of pride toward each other as if it were your clothes. Scripture says, "God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are not." —(Proverbs 3:34) 6 So don't be proud. Put yourselves under God's mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time. 7 Turn all your worries over to him. He cares about you.
8 Control yourselves. Be on your guard. Your enemy the devil is like a roaring lion. He prowls around looking for someone to chew up and swallow. 9 Stand up to him. Stand firm in what you believe. All over the world you know that your brothers and sisters are going through the same kind of suffering.
10 God always gives you all the grace you need. So you will only have to suffer for a little while. Then God himself will build you up again. He will make you strong and steady. And he has chosen you to share in his eternal glory because you belong to Christ.
11 Give him the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Always on the Move!

Soccer is officially over, and this mommy is happy! It was a fun season but I look forward to have no plans on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings:):) Logan has a BLAST running around like a little man and he made some new friends! This was a very fun first sporting experience for our lil' Family!
Peyton is officially Crawling!!! She is so darn cute. She's been pulling herself up on furniture for about 1 1/2 months and walking along furniture for about two weeks and last week she decided to start crawling! This morning she really started taking off! This is going to be such a fun summer. Full of fun and new things! I can't wait!!!

Living it up at the beach

We had a super fun Sunday in PC last week! The weather was beautiful so we went to the beach!!

The wind was super cold but we found our little hide out and stayed nice and warm! We saw lots of star fish and Logan kept proclaiming, "It's Patrick." (sponge bob's buddy) Zach is back in Oregon and we are ENJOYING having him home! He is so wonderful with Logan! They are such buddies!!!
Zach and Logan wrestle and play around a lot. Today Logan has his Spiderman outfit on and he tells me, "Zach can't take me now."
