Arriving at the LAKE!

We went with the Bertram & Griffin family. The B's have a set of twin girls and my kiddos loved them. You can see from the pics that J&R enjoyed touching, playing, and rocking the girls in their car-seats. The twins are almost 6mths old. These pics were taken that Friday night that we arrived to Nimrod.

Also, Jonas slept in a twin size bed for the first time at the lake house. His buddy, G, was in another twin bed in the same room. G is 3yo and told me, "Jonas is my brest friend!" It took Jonas & G about 3 hrs to finally fall asleep. Jonas was the culprit and enjoyed getting out of bed every 5 minutes to open the door. The boys were very cute and I hate that I didn't get a pic of them sleeping! More pics of their playtime coming soon!

On the way to the Lake-House

We were invited to spend the weekend with our church family at a lake house in Nimrod, AR. I do believe that is an actual place not just a community, but I could be totally wrong. By the time we made it to the lake that Friday night, the kids had been screaming/kicking, acting crazy... for about an hour during our travels, so really couldn't get a good representation of this Nimrod place. They do have a large lake though :). SO, we decide to eat Mexican before we make our journey. During our meal, we had to order an extra plate of beans because the kids enjoyed them so well. As you can see, Reese devoured the beans and they were not only in her tummy, but all over her face, hands, clothes, and legs. We shredded the clothes in the restaurant and left them in the trash-can in the bathroom. Just couldn't strap the girl down in her car-seat covered in refried beans. We still had to go to Wal-mart and Reese is only wearing a diaper. Yes, we looked like the po-dunk family from MS as we haul ourselves into Wal-mart that evening. Jason & Jonas had their own buggy and they walked ahead of us in embarassment :). Even the Wal-mart greeter commented on their speed into the store. I headed straight to the toddler section and dressed Reese in a brand new oufit, including hair clips, before we started our shopping! Just the beginning of our lake-house adventure........ more to come!

"Miii-weeee" aka Millie

Even though these are not the best pics, I wanted to share the love Reese has for Millie. AND, Millie is a great pet for our family. The kids pull her tail, try to ride on her back, lay all over her and her dog-bed, and play in her water/food bowls daily. Millie sits there and smiles through the whole invasion!

Been a while since I have posted. More pics to come soon of the lake-house and our guest, Elizabeth Scaife!!

Psalm 138

"I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart;

.
...The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;


your love, O Lord, endures forever--
do not abandon the works of your hands.

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.......You are familiar with all my ways.


For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.


My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.


When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
Your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

.....Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.


See if there is any offensive way in me,

and lead me in the way everlasting.

Cutest faces I know!!
