The Lord Answers When We Call

A year ago God moved my husband and I to ElDo... I knew no one, but I want to praise our Lord that He is sending me friends. I have met several people over the year, and some of these amazing people are becoming close friends!!! Thank you Lord for answering when we call. Thank you for Kenda... You are an awesome God!!!

Back From.....

Me and the kids just made it back home from the Picnic. Tonight was the first night of the carnival and boy did we have a blast. Brady and Bren enjoyed the kids while me and Bri enjoyed watching them, well more me than Bri. Bri was able to ride the carousal with me and Bren and that was way to much fun. I love seeing my children excited about doing things. Bren touched my heart so much tonight. She is so brave. I thought she would start crying on the four wheeler ride when she got on, but oh was I wrong, instead she laughed and laughed. Bren was also able to ride the airplanes with her brother. Let me just say as a mom that is really leary of carnival l rides I was very nervous. but Bren again has so much fun to the see the smile on her face I wanted to melt. I really felt tonight that God showed me how fast my time with her has been, she has grown from a content baby to an independent toddler overnight. It is hard for me to look at Bri, my youngest and think in a year she will be doing the same thing Bren is doing now. Our time with our children is so short, thank you Lord for the time you have given to me to be their mommy and not just nurture them but to enjoy them.

I did not take my camera tonight due to losing it since our move... I pray to find it and share some happy moments with you tomorrow!!!!

Settled/Picnic/Birthday Party

After a year of living in a new place and 3 houses I can say I finally feel settled. What a long year it has been. Our family has just moved to a new home in town that better suites our family. God has taught me alot over the past year, of how to make a place a "home". Through all the frustrations of leaving Bolivar and coming to a new but strange place God has been faithful.

Our town has an annual festival called the "El Dorado Springs Picnic". This is an all time highlight of our town. Everyone from grandma's to babies come out to celebrate our town and enjoy the wonderful food, our families favorite is the massive load of curly fries our family can get for only $5.50. The amount you receive feeds our whole family!!! Not just do we enjoy the food but also the activities, rides, and entertainment. Today Brady went to the sidewalk chalk drawing where he won 1st place... He did an awesome job and I myself am proud of him. Last year during this Picnic I was 39 weeks prego with Brilynn and didn't get to ride any rides with my children, well this year is different. On Saturday I am going to be able to take Brendlee on Saturday by herself and get to ride along with her... This should be alot of fun!!!!

This weekend is all about the Picnic followed by another busy weekend. On Saturday July 26 we will be celebrating Brilynn's 1 st birthday. Our theme this year is a Garden party. I am amazed by how my children have grown already. As I think ahead I am thrilled in my soul to think about my kids getting big and how God will be able to use them to touch lives!!!!
