Watermelon Boy

Last night we went out to our garden to pick our watermelons! Here they are with Jeremiah who did not know what to do with these big green things in front of him except hit them like they were drums! He had a great time! He sure did have fun with the watermelons!

Birdie

Jeremiah is getting more of his hair in everyday! The back of it tends to stick straight up. This picture is the very reason we call him birdie because his hair is laid out like a little birdie! What a lil cutie pie! The green thing in his mouth is a nummy green bean from Nate and Evan's beautiful garden!

Happy Birthday Jakey!

Today is my Jake's 24th birthday! He is the best husband and best father that anyone could ever ask for! I love him so much and all of the the memories we have created and will create. Jake, thank you for all that you do! I am excited to celebrate your birthday with you!
I remember last year we went golfing twice for his birthday and at the second course it started to down poor but we stuck it out and finished golfing. We also went through massive puddles with the golf cart! This past year has been incredible! I look forward to spending many more birthdays with you!

Our Trip to MN

Well, we got back from MN on Monday morning at about 1:30am. It was a long haul with a baby who is getting two teeth at the same time. We had a great time in Minnesota. Jeremiah and I visited lots of family and friends, did some shopping, and went to the Como zoo. Jake went fishing with his buddies as you can see on his blog jacobandrew.blogspot.com. It was nice to see all of our family and friends but we did miss home and it is nice to be back!

A Day at the Zoo

We went to the zoo awhile back with our family here in Arkansas and I am just now putting some pictures up! I hope you enjoy!

Bubbles

We gave Jeremiah his first big boy bubble bath the other day! He loved it! He loved to splash around in the bubbles and try to find his rubber ducky! He also gave himself a bubble beard. I wish we would have taken a picture of that. When it was time to get out he didn't not want to. I guess he is really starting to enjoy his bath time! What a little blessing he is!

Thank You Pastors

Jake and I just got home from a fun filled night. Prayer, Go Kids meeting, Announcement guys, and chatting with Nate and Evan for a bit! On the way home we were just talking and thanking God for all the things he has done for us! One of those things was awesome pastors! I mean our pastors are so cool! We are so blessed to be able to sit under them! We learn so much from them and because of them we are able to walk in the new insight and revelation that we receive from God. We are so blessed to be hearing the word from them. Faith comes by hearing and when we hear the word taught by our pastors our faith grows every time. So thank you pastors for continually being led by God! We love you!

Testimony Time

God is so good! We have recently paid off our car because God provided the finances! Now, our car feels so good to drive because we actually own it. Then, last night we went to look at a Jeep Grand Cherokee because we really need a second car and my wonderful husband wanted something that can tow things. Anyways, we really liked this jeep. It was super clean and in really good condition. The man is getting married in a week and so he really needed to sell it by the end of this week. So we started the negotiation 1,000 dollars lower than his asking price just to see if he would drop and he dropped 800 dollars below his asking price!! AAAHHH, God is SO GOOD!! So now we have one car completely paid off and a second vehicle that will be paid off relatively soon! God's goodness just makes be want to shout super loud!

Curious Little Man

Last weekend we were printing off different things for Go Kids Academy at our awesome church. Jake and I look over at Jeremiah and he is pulling thing after thing out of the diaper bag! This little guy was in search of something and I am still not quite sure if he ever found it!

83 degree day

It was a hot one outside today! Matthew decided that he wanted to run through the sprinkler so I put sun screen on all the kids and my lovely t-shirts since, the boys did not have their swimsuits!

Samuel and Jeremiah decided that they weren't to sure about this whole running through water thing so they played it safe by sitting in the wagon playing with their toys.

Eventually, Matthew wanted Samuel to give it a try so he grabbed Samuel's hand and took him to try out the sprinkler. He didn't like it very much but overall it was a fun time!

Cousin Love

Today as I was watching the boys I happened to see Samuel leaning in to give Jeremiah a big kiss. I quick got my camera and snapped a picture. As soon as I put the camera down Samuel leaned in again and Jeremiah gave him a big slobbery kiss. Those two boys sure love each other! Samuel is constantly giving Jeremiah hugs and Jeremiah gives Samuel lots of smiles!

Jumperoo

Jeremiah loves to be in his jumperoo and jump around! After I took a few pictures I realized how much he is really starting to look like Jake. What a cutie! I am so thankful I have a good looking husband!

Snuggle Time

Jeremiah and daddy had some snuggle time the other night. It was so cute! I love watching these two together! They are my boys and I love them very much!

The Best Husband

On Mother's day Jake blessed me so much! He let me sleep in a little and he took Jeremiah to get us some breakfast. They also went to get some beautiful roses for me. Jake even brought Jeremiah to me and he was holding a single yellow rose! After that Jake made us espresso! It was so yummy and after church we went to get La Fiesta! I have the best husband! He blesses me so much and I appreciate everything that he does! He is my best friend and I love him so much!

Speaking the Word

Lately, I have been reminded about the power of speaking the word of God. God's word is so amazing! It is life changing! Every time I open up the word to read it I have new revelation, new insight into the things of God! God is so cool, every day there is something new to learn, something new to apply to your life to walk in his fullness. Today, as I spent my time with the Lord I was reminded that there is so much power in speaking the word out loud. I remember when I was pregnant with Jeremiah we would speak scriptures over him every day and confess things over him and every single one of those things has come to pass! I remember when we were confessing for our jeep to be sold and we spoke scriptures that lined up with what we were believing for and that came to pass. God's word is so powerful! We are believing for a lot of stuff right now and so once again we found scriptures to confess out loud and we know we will see those things manifested! God's word is alive! There are tons of scriptures that you can find to line up with whatever you are believing God for. I challenge you today to find a scripture that lines up with what you are believing for and speak it out loud until you see that become manifested! God's word is unfailing. What he said, he will do! Thank you Lord!
