...still nesting

unpacking and setting up house is tough while being a mommy to a 2 1/2 year old & trying to run a business!

Case quote of the day

"Mama, wet's get a cherry wimeade!"

out of the clear blue...we weren't even in the car, much less at Sonic! ha ha!

Let me preface this by saying:
1. I am not a political enthusiast
2. I am a Christian
3. I am a mother
With that being said, I am a little stressed about the election & it really has nothing to do with partisanship.

This arrived in my inbox by way of a good friend's mom.
As I stressed over a lack of Christian influence in the White House, partial birth abortion and other such atrocities this was the gentle reminder that I needed. . .

TOP 10 PREDICTIONS NO MATTER WHO WINS THE ELECTION
1. The Bible will still have all the answers.

2. Prayer will still work.

3. The Holy Spirit will still move.

4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people.

5. There will still be God-anointed teaching and healing.

6. There will still be singing of praise to God.

7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people.

8. There will still be room at the Cross.

9. Jesus will still love you.

10. Jesus will still save the lost.

ISN'T IT GREAT TO KNOW WHO IS REALLY IN CONTROL?!!!!

Let the nesting begin!

We are moving into our new house this week!

Boo at the Zoo . . . the princess & the pirate

Case told me months ago that he wanted to be a pirate for Halloween (Arghh!) and I must say I was pretty happy with the way his costume turned out. Emmalie was the cutest little Cinderella you've ever seen! These 2 always have a ball together!

TAG!

TAG you're it...


I've been tagged... Here are the rules:


1. Open your pictures folder.
2. Go to the sixth folder.
3. Open the sixth picture.
4. Import into your blog and tell the story.

Well, honestly this is not from the 6th folder....there are literally hundreds of picture folders on our computer because of Richards & Co. Photography. This pic, #6, is however from the 6th folder in our family hard drive. So...tell the story....this was taken in January of 2008, while we were still on Christmas break. Case had just gotten his little red wagon from KK & Papa Doc and we took it to a little park in Cleburne for a spin, and of course while we were there we had to play on the big green slide!

One Nation Under God . . .

'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One nation under God.'

If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends. 'If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything.'

Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. (It's worth a try!) One Nation Under God

NoBama!

Okay, so I've mentioned pandora.com on here before (shame on you if you haven't checked it out)...it's FAB and it's FREE {what r u waiting 4?}

House hunting news!!!

We found a house that we love...an older home, with warmth & character, and a park-like backyard!!! ...more coming soon!

my great grandma

SCS is off for Columbus Day, so we decided to take that extra day for a dash down to College Station to visit "Grandma". That is Mary Lynn - Joey's grandmother. We had a wonderful visit with Uncle Glenn, Laurel and her friend Beth, and were glad to see Grandma feeling great and getting fired up for her trip to Germany this week with Aunt Dinetha. Case and Grandma hit it off and played all afternoon, kisses were plentiful at the end of the day and Case was upset to have to leave. Enjoy the pics!

go eagles go!

Football games are for fun with friends!!! "SCS, HUH!!!"

{yes, these were taken right before his haircut!...look how much "strawberry" hue it has when it is longer!}

new haircut

Well, Case and daddy have the same haircut...for right now. Allison asked me to give him a trim - I guess I did not know when to stop. Here's a pic of the new do while we were playing with Mr. Potato Head this morning.

HOWDY FOLKS!

It's state fair time in Texas! Joey took a much needed day off and we all headed out to Fair Park in Big D for some memories. We all had a blast! Enjoy the pics...

yakin'

Case had his first kayak experience Sunday at Benbrook Lake. Actually, it was the first time in 3 years that I had been in my kayak...since we found out Case was on his way! We had BIG fun paddling around...we saw Cormorants, Coots, and Gulls... some fish surfacing and Case and Joey swam for a few minutes. Afterwards we commemorated Case's first kayak trip with lunch at Schlotsky's (which I craved constantly when I was pregnant with Case). YUM!

"wittle gym" and "oodles" of fun!

After attending a trial class with Mandy & Merrick last week we joined The Little Gym today. Our two classes have been great! Pictures to come...

We also made a super-fun purchase at Gymboree today. Brett (teacher at Little Gym) blows these teeny, fun bubbles at the end of each class and Case goes bonkers for them! So, after class we made a trip to Gymboree to buy the same "bubble oodles" Only $6...so exciting! Go get some... whether you have kiddos or not, they'll put a smile on your face!
