Perfect Shot...
Oh, he is fine...I know what you are thinking though (probably the same thing that Josh was yelling at me when I pegged Jaydon..."Ugghh, Brittany! Why did you hurt him"). He ran by, I threw the "plastic" ball and there ya have it...a perfect shot! Probably could not do it again if I tried! Jaydon thought it was AWESOME!!!
Proverbs and Dora
Friday night, as I was folding laundry and talking to my mother-in-law on the phone (reflecting on the family's week of strep, bacteria infection, and sinus infections), I heard Jaydon and Kye come running into the bedroom. Jaydon pulled up his favorite little sofa and Kye climbed in her laundry basket (that is where she gets when she is sick...I have no idea why). Jaydon proceeded to tell her that if she would sit still, he would read a Bible story to her...this defiantly got my attention at this point. I wanted to see what he was up to (I could only imagine)! He has his little green Bible that I think they passed out in Abilene one time...not sure how he ended up with it but he says that it is "his". Anyways, once Kye got situated, Jaydon said that he would read from the book of Proverbs (this is where his daddy reads to him from at bedtime). The story for the night...from Proverbs mind you...was about Dora and boots!!!
I love watching you work Lord!!! Thank you for giving me and Josh such interesting children! My life is never boring!!! I love them soooo much!

Birthday Memories...
Jaydon and I spent the afternoon at the Discovery Center here in Amarillo! Jaydon was invited to Andrew's 5th birthday party. He had so much fun trying out the experiments,meeting and playing with new friends, and eating Katy's alien cupcake masterpiece...
As I was looking around the party, I flashed back about 25 years...
Yeppers...that is me and Katy in that picture! Can you believe it! Katy and I were born two days apart and our boys were born 7 days apart. Is that not ironic?!? There are not many friends you have in life that you have shared birthday parties with, went to Sunday school together, played as double partners and now...25 years later...you are able to share you children's birthday parties together! I am so glad that God has given Katy and I this opportunity to live in the same town...literally about 2 miles from each other...and share these sweet memories together! What a wonderful day to reflect back on those memories!!!
Thank you Katy (and Andrew) for a wonderful day! I love you sweet friend!

JOY
This was in my devotional tonight...what an amazing though!
"JOY comes by putting Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself last"
"JOY comes by putting Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself last"
Tomorrows prayer...
Well, I have to admit, I did not vote for Obama, but tomorrow I will be in prayer for him as well as our country! The bible says to 'pray for your leader' and that I will do! Visit www.klove.com to learn more about the prayer wall for Obama!
His mercies are made new every morning!
I am totally exhausted and I will defiantly explain more later but before another day went by, I wanted to post the fun pictures of Jaydon's 5th birthday party that we had here in Amarillo this weekend! He is so blessed and loved.....

40 Tips for Better Life 2009

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My
purpose is to __________ today.'
5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2008.
7. Make time to practice meditation and prayer. They provide us with daily
fuel for our busy lives.

negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in

the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
