Work in my life.....

I am in awe of how God is working ALL around me.....maybe He has just opened my eyes....or maybe I have just taken the time to see.....anyway it has happened, I am just amazed at how my God is so interested in the details of my life and others around me.
I've started the Bible study of Esther by Beth Moore and can I just say the timing of it couldn't be just coincidence. As Ms. Rooks said there are alot strong women coming forth that are not afraid to stand up for their God!! Love it!!! I have loved the fellowship with good Christian ladies and the encouragement that comes with it. I am "diving" into God's word and "listening" to what God has for me each day!!

Our preschool starts in just a few weeks and oh how God has blessed it!!! We have an all time high in numbers at 73 and the teachers that we have this year are AMAZING good godly women. I am so blessed to be surrounded by them each day! God has great things in store for us this year and I think we are ALL feeling it! Can't wait to see God moving in the preschool!!

My family is very close as we have really grown closer through this summer. That can only be a God thing too. I keep seeing teenagers these days and how they disrespect adults and their own parents too. I keep thinking that my teenager will be pulling away from us too - but so far he is very open and respectful of us. I praise God for this as he is such a great young man and he is grounded in his Faith. I pray the Lord will keep him close even if he does draw away from us - but for now I am really enjoying the way he wants to always hang out with us!
They are really excited about starting a new school year and all the new friends they will have - I know God has great things in store for them as they start this new adventure!!
I am so very blessed with a husband that so dearly loves me!! He is our Rock and he is an amazing father to our very adventurous boys!!! I am looking forward to having some Friday Date Nights when our summer Fun Fridays are over. We have had alot of fun but I do miss getting out with just my hubby.....

I am also seeing our church family growing closer together. This is amazing as families are pulling together to help each other out and for great fellowship. We are in a time of transition and I am seeing God work in so many ways!!

So I will end for now - and just know that my eyes are wide open to the workings of my Savior all around us.........Thank you Lord!!

We started our summer with a Ranger Game. Before the game there was a Casting Crowns concert. It was great!! Good friends and good fun - and the All You Can Eat was fun too!!!!






Then we went to the Ft Worth Zoo. It was a perect day for this!

Damon kept his eyes on the birds at all times! Making sure they didn't try anything!!!???






Taking a break - What are they sitting on???



We had a wonderful Friday at Splash Kingdom!! We had never been and we all thought it was great!!



Sweet Dakota made this cake for Dad on Father's Day!!



A week of VBS.......it was a terrific week. God worked in sooo many ways that week - I still look back on it and say WOW!!



We spent a Friday swimming at a friend's house!! Great time of fun and friendship!!



Who's hiding back there???? Muscle competition??!! Boys will be boys!!!!



Kota wore little Cameron out!! They had a great time!!



Aren't they sooooo talented????



We went to the Galeria Mall to go ice skating - but first things first - LUNCH!

We went to Five Guys......can you beleive he ate this whole thing??



They are so handsome!!!



It was Damon's first time to ever ice skate - he did soooo good!! He had such a great time hanging out with his brothers!!




It was soo hard to get a picture with all three of them in it!!! But eventually I did!! Go Mom!!

Jeremy was not allowed to skate (we did not want him to shatter his tailbone AGAIN!) so he and I walked around the mall for awhile!!


Can't beleive how grown up he is.........



HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOTA!!! He gets his own Fun Friday Birthday!! His good freind Jaime sent him cupcakes - he was so excited and he thought he was getting to eat all of them by himself???!! What our "sharing" Kota wants to be selfish!!!???? You know he shared!!LOL They were wonderful!



His brothers got him a "Vulcan"! 3 bulletts per second!! Yes our house is the Nerf capital!! Nerf wars start and Mom says "I think I'll leave for awhile!!!"LOL



We bought him a trip to Medievil Times - he has always wanted to go!! And we even let him bring a freind.....glad you could come Mr. Bruce!!




We surprised him with his very own phone!! He was in shock and Dylan was laughing so hard!!



This was our "knight" - the black and white knight!!! And he WON the tournament!! We were so excited and yelling and cheering!




We really enjoyed having a Fun Friday on Dakota's birthday!!
