EEEK

That is how I am feeling right this minute! In a good way! I wrote the first semester of Reading Curriculum for my district; Elective Reading 8! About 10 minutes ago I submitted all 3 six weeks and could not have been more happy to hit send!

I was excited to take on the challenge and even more excited to know that my first semester is planned out and I did it! But wow, it became daunting at times and there were MANY nights I went to bed at 2 in the morning with a completely FRIED brain!

It is FINISHED... and I must celebrate! :) HMM.. How should I do that?!

A Book You Must READ!

If you want to be challenged in your walk with the Lord then read this book. BUT beware, Francis Chan is very blunt and states exactly what the Bible says. He backs up all his words with scripture. I love it! It is just what I needed at this time in my life.

God is so good and I have been taking advantage of all the blessings in my life, instead of praising him for what He has given me

. I have avoided God because there were several things in my life that I was not willing to give up yet.

This book challenged me beyond words and my heart is booming with desire to spread the word about this book so others can fall in love with Jesus again. Chan is constantly directing you too the Word. He does not want you to focus on what he wrote in his book, but instead guide you to God's Word to see the truth.

Go get this book, borrow mine, or tell me and I will get you one. It will rock your world in a way you might not like at first, but in the end will bring all the glory to our Heavenly Father!

Fun Time with Ellie Jane

The two little munch-kins below can be a handful together, but they sure do love being together. They are 2 months apart and it has been so neat for Jill and I to see them grow, learn and play together. The laugh, cry, sing, dance and play together so well! They are always going to be best friends! We are so thankful that this summer we have gotten to spend so much time with them,and to make things even better they are moving 10 minutes away from us so we will get to see them all the time! Here are a few pictures of some of the time we spent together! NO Wyatt does not take a passie and NEVER has... but when he is with Ellie he likes to play with one. Silly buddy!
SEE.. she has a passie too!

Little punkin's!

They loved the new section of the Dallas Zoo. It was wonderful!

The Dallas Art Museum - FREE Tuesday!

Such a cool place to take pictures!

Playing on the art sculptures. You can outside, I promise! :)

We love Ellie Jane and Aunt "Dill" as Wyatt calls her! Look forward to more fun times together!

The 4th!

We had a wonderful 4th of July! We went to the Lake, this time to Andrew's family's lake house on Cedar Creek! Wyatt loved his new red sunglasses, and even wore them at bed time!
One night we decided to play with fireworks. Wyatt was not scared of them, but fell asleep watching them. He also fell asleep on the 4th during the crazy firework show going on around us. I guess loud noises put him to sleep!

"Gaddy" and "Grammy" with Wyatt

(We were calling them Granddaddy and Grandmommy, but this is what he calls them! )

I love my sweet husband. I cannot say enough how amazing he is! Sometimes I wish we could spend all our time together because we have so much fun! :) Next week just the two of us are taking a vacation to the beach and I am looking forward to some quality time with him!

Look at that smiley little guy! I love that he says "CHEESEEEE!" for pictures! We are so blessed. Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!

Ideas?

I love being outside and doing fun things around Dallas during the Summer. It is the perfect time to spend with family. What are some fun things you have done in the area? Museums? Shows? Free Events? Summer Events? Kid friendly activities?

I want to make a list so that our family can do something "different" at least 1 time a week together this Summer! We love quality time together, but it is always fun to try new things and Wyatt loves to be out and about!

Please give me some ideas so I can get a Family Fun Calendar together!!!
