Rough Riders Game

A few weeks ago Kyle's work paid for everyone's families to enjoy a Rough Riders ball game. They paid for our tickets and for free concessions for the first 90 minutes of the game...score!!! When we got there and were locating our seats the usher said, "Now, be careful of foul balls, you're right off the third baseline!" About that time I saw a ball whizzing right over the section we were about to head to. So I pretty much spent the entire game in paralyzing fear that my children were about to get hit and die. Fun times! And add to that an extremely grumpy RoRo...yea, I had a blast! All in all, it was actually pretty fun. I would love to take the kids again...just as long as we are far from the foul balls and can sit on the end. Sitting in the middle and have to climb over people every time some one needed to go potty or was hungry (which with little kids was pretty much the entire time) was not ideal.

Our view!

RoRo with her chips!

Finley...she said her favorite part was eating! Ha!

Making silly faces.

This is the, "you guys realize it's my bed time, right? Please promptly find me a bed" look...love that little thumb!

Emerson's Dedication & Mother's Day

On Mother's Day this year we dedicated our third child, our baby boy, at church! What a wonderful day to celebrate being a Mom, by making a public promise to raise him according to God's word, to teach him about Jesus and to earnestly pray for his soul.

Such a high calling to be entrusted with these three precious little ones! Some times my days get so busy and crazy, and when I'm just done, when I can't sing another song, or clean up another accident...when my lovies are arguing and screaming, when I want to join in on the tantrums, when the house is a mess and I haven't showered in two days....I call out to God...and then I realize, "Why didn't I seek Him sooner?" I get so consumed in the day to day grind that I forget my purpose....to raise children who love God with all their hearts. And that I can't do it without a constant dialogue of prayer. It's only by God's grace and strength that I make through these trying days. It's so hard to carve out time to spend reading the Bible, but when I do my whole day is instantly better. Things run smoother, I feel refreshed and energized. I mean how can I pour into these three babes if I'm not letting God pour into me?!?


Anyway, sorry to get off track! So Mother's Day was a beautiful day spent worshiping with my family, my parents, and Kyle's parents. After church we came home to a wonderful meal cooked by my hubby!

Getting ready to go to church!

I love these two guys so much!!!

The church gifted E with this cute little Bible and a super cute frame with picture from that day (not pictured) and Grandma Davis gave him these adorable booties that were knitted by Emerson's Great-Great-Great Aunt!

The whole family. So blessed by these people. How many people can say that their parents and in-laws were friends long before the families merged!

 

End of year--Awanas

Last month Finley completed her first year of Awanas at a local church. She loved going each week to Cubbies and did really well at memorizing her Bible verses. They had a little end of the year ceremony and party and we all went. Such a fun night, can't wait for Rowynn to join her big sister this year at Awanas!

 

 

Ready to go!

 

Cubbie Bear! I got a picture of Finley with Cubbie Bear on my cell, but my camera battery died!

Party time!

Graduation/Splash Park

 A couple of weeks ago we went to a Preschool Graduation to watch Finley's friend, Cadence graduate. Finley had several little friends graduate and it was so special to watch them all. They were so cute!!!

Cadence & my girls. Sure do love these three!

Happy Graduation Cadence!

Sandy Lake 2013

Every year, for the past four years, usually in May or June, we head over to Sandy Lake Amusement for a day of fun. Rides, arcade games, carnival food, train tour, animals, paddle boat, and so much more. We went on Mother's Day weekend with my parents and everyone had a blast. I wasn't pregnant this year so I actually got to ride some of the rides. I had way too much fun on the Tilt-a-Whirl!!!


Emerson enjoyed his first visit! He absolutely loved riding the train!

I was really surprised at how much Rowynn had on the rides. She is normally my cautious flower, but she rode everything Finley did and had a blast! She was utterly heart-broken when she learned she was too small to do the paddle boats with us. Mimi & Papaw whisked her away to the arcade and Kyle & I got some one-on-one time with our oldest baby girl. We had such a good time on the lake with Finley, she has truly become a super cool kid!
