H`U`M`E
It really was a breath of fresh air. We were surrounded by God's beauty and a bunch of firemen who love the Lord. We worshipped, had amazing prayer time, grew more in love with our Savior, ate YUMMY food, played games, hung out with friends and Danny decided to go back to Haiti. I am renewed and ready to make sacrifices for my Father!
In AWE......
I am so excited about what God is doing in my heart and Danny's. As I have surrender to my God and commit to drawing closer to Him each day, He has been faithful to me. You see I struggle with caring too much about this world and what others think about me. But I feel like God has released me from that. He has showed me that all that matters is HIM. I am learning to "store up my treasures in heaven." I am trying each day to make eternal differences. God has called Danny back to Haiti. He will be doing some relief work and a MIGHTY crusade. The crusade will take place for 7 nights and they are expecting over 20,000 people each night! Danny is so excited and I get giddy every time I talk about it! I am in AWE of MY GOD!
Our Dancin' Girl and her cousin too!
The girls are performing their FUNK dance tonight at the community center. These pics were from picture day. My sis and I decided to save a little money and opt out of taking the professional pictures. So we took a few of our own. Take a look!
Gardening
Oh how I love myself a little gardening. I have no idea what I'm doing but it is so much fun. I get just as excited as the kids do. We just pulled our winter veggies and are getting ready to plant our spring veggies. We are going to make 2 more boxes (well Danny is). I know our carrots are small, but it was my first time!
WHOOOOO doesn't love an OWL coffee cozie
For our dear friend Karen's baby shower, Oly and I made these cute cozies. Yes, her theme is OWLS. We had fun making these (don't laugh Oly). Aren't they so cute?
RIDEMAKERZ
We were all suppose to go camping in Carlsbad for GAVIN'S 5TH BIRTHDAY but because of the rain we rescheduled. We went to the Disney Walk instead. Tess and Kyra went to build a bear and made owls and the rest of them went to RIDEMAKERZ. What fun it is for them all to make something-the cars they each made were really cool-remote control too! We munched on Rainforest Cafe and cruised all the shops. It was fun to actually walk around and use our umbrellas that don't get used all that often. Gavin had a super cool birthday!
I TRIED.....
I TRIED so hard to get Tess to drink EMERGENC when she was sick with a scratchy throat. I put it in a pretty china cup and everything. She would not drink it-I try not to give my kids medicine unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Tatum tried it too. WELL, they both hated it. AT LEAST I TRIED! The pictures turned out really cute though.
Putting our WORDS into ACTION
it's not just offering a meal>it's preparing it
it's not just going to church>it's reading the Word and forming a relationship with your Father
it's not just saying you'll pray>it's getting on your knees before the Lord
it's not just thinking you should write that person a letter> it's getting your pen and paper out and sending some love
it's not just thinking you are a nice neighbor>it's taking their trash in or baking them cookies
it's not just walking by>it's making eye contact and smiling
it's not just receiving blessings>it's pouring them out
just a few things I feel I should be doing more of!

S*N*O*W
When D was gone Teegan kept saying he wanted to go to the snow. So we decided to take the kids to IDYLLWILD. I was so glad we did because they had so much fun. We found a great hill to sled down. I pretty much stood, took pictures and laughed the entire time. D and Tess caught some air coming down one time and it knocked the wind out of Tess. She cried and then recovered quickly. We then enjoyed lunch and found a park further down the hill for the kids to enjoy. The day ended with COFFEE BEAN, the most delicious cookie I've ever had and watching Teegan wrestle for almost 3 hours. He literally had a smile on his face almost the entire time. IT WAS A GOOD DAY!
