Wow...it's been a while!

Since it's been so long that I have blogged, I decided just to put up a few pics of what we have done in the past month and hopefully now that is summer I will have alot more time to keep up with blogging!

Boston - Fenway Park

Finally getting my wall decorated with my sweet friend Tara Byrd. Need I say more??! I LURRVVE my new wall! (Check out her blog...cute!)

Gathering of the Talents @ Morgan's school - They researched Papua New Guinea which is where Todd's cousin and family are missionaries...so it was extra special for her!

First day of summer was spent of course at New Smyrna Beach...my fav!! My sister went with us and the kids each brought a friend :)

weekend recap

Todd & I helped at Morgan's field day
even though Todd was on crutches...he was committed to being there
What a daddy :)

The boy had his last soccer game of the season
Our sweet neighbors came to cheer him on too!
He played UNBELIEVABLE, MONSTER soccer! I love watching him play :)
Oh yea...they won! (Remember that I'm competitive?!)

I had such an itch to craft...repurpose...buy something...ahhh!!
Since I was out of money, I brought out the spray paint...Heirloom White (smile)
Painted gold accessories to make them less dressy...more casual...more "cottagey"!
And Gracie sat in the road, with her ball...just watching me go spray paint wild!

Met up with friends after church at the dog park and while throwing
around the dog toy, it got stuck in a tree
Matt put TJ on his shoulders and used Todd's crutches to try and get it...
no luck! But TJ had fun trying!
Morgan tried to teach Gracie to jump over the ropes! We have
been loving taking our family to the dog park!

weekend recap

First....it started with some cleaning! I loved this picture because I am usually wearing some form of ponytail or bun

I LOVE my big ol dangly earrings AND

I have got my eye out for a sunburst mirror...lol!

but...

I sooo cannot push my apple green (love it!) vacuum cleaner with one hand...too darn heavy

SECOND...We watched the boy do his thing on the soccer field!

They didn't win BUT he played hard and did his best...all we can ask for...

secretly y'all, I hate losing! I am soo competitive...ahhh!

Thirdly...We took Gracie to the dog park for the first time!

She had a blast...made new friends :)

Fourthly...we met up with friends at our favorite Cuban restaurant for dinner

last night. Mmmmm, it hit the spot...and I didn't have to clean

up after dinner!! Whoo-hoo!

Finally...and most importantly...we spent Sunday morning worshipping together! Our pastor answered the question..."Why would God create us if He knew we were going to fail?"

He read out of Psalm 139

A few of my notes...

~ God's purpose for creating us was to have an intimate relationship with Him ~

~ Without free will, there is NO LOVE relationship with God ~

~ ...God is greater than our heart and knows all things...1 John 3:20 ~

It was a good weekend...pretty low key and not a ton going on but that's ok every now and then! BTW...in case your wondering why only one kid was talked about in our weekend plans?! It's because the other was spending the night with her friend and was gone all day Saturday and half of Sunday...her social calendar is starting to get busy!! What was your weekend like? Would love to hear about it!

Linking up with Tara @ Between you & me

Weekend recap

Our weekend started off with going to see the movie Letters to God.

Not only us...but we rallied together 120 people to see it with us!

We sold out the theater...Praise the Lord!

I would encourage EVERYONE to take their family...you will be extremely blessed...

and

we need to support Christian movies so they will continue to make more!

Saturday was working around the house (I know...boring!)

but it HAD to be done!

TJ had a soccer game - they won! Then off to UCF for the spring game,

throwing the football with the kiddos and getting autographs from the players

and to top it off...a yummy taco dinner with friends :)
