Be Anxious for Nothing

Our family 4th of July picture.

Glimpse into my thoughts today:

I'm supposed to be packing for my trip to Seattle with my sister.....

-This is the first time I've left the kiddos for more than a couple of days.

-Going to miss my husband. It's been a long time since I've left him for a week.

-Sad I'm going to miss church tomorrow - we have a young family leaving for the mission field - I've been blessed to have both of their babies in Sunday School for the last couple of years.

-I'm thrilled to spend the week with my sister.

-I'm looking forward to the break!

-I'm excited to visit a city I've never visited before.

-Wondering how Aubree is going to do - while I went out to get the mail this morning, she pinched her brother on the neck for NO reason. He did pinch her back. I just want their time with the grandparents to be fun for all. I have great memories of spending time with grandparents when I was young, I want them to have those memories, too.

-I'm going to miss Bryce's last baseball game. It was one that was rescheduled because of rain. So, I feel like a bad mama missing his last game.

Well, if you made it this far, that's enough of my thoughts...

I know God is good and He's in control.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Phil. 4:6

First Lost Tooth

Aubree lost her first tooth on Tuesday. The kiddos spent the day with MeMaw and Aunt Karen while I worked. They had a great day of being spoiled (milkshakes for lunch) and shoe shopping. Aubree's tooth started bleeding and Aunt Karen took honors in pulling it. Aubree recovered very quickly and was so excited to lose her first tooth.

The Girl has Good Taste

The five year old....
We went out to eat Saturday afternoon. Bryce asked for a 'loaded baked potato.' Easy, we could handle that. Then Aubree informed us, she wanted 'a juicy steak.' Newman said he would order a sirloin for them to share, but I told him he was taking his chances because she may not eat it. So, Daddy sacrificed (not really) and ordered them a filet to share. And she loved it!!

Happy Birthday To My Hubby!!

He is an awesome husband who loves me more than I deserve.

He is the best dad for our children.

He loves the Lord with all his heart, mind, soul and strength.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEWMAN!! WE LOVE YOU!!

My Baby...

...is not a baby anymore!! He's eight! Time has flown.

He's grown so much even in this last year.


Bryce and Daddy built a blue bird house for a Cub Scout project a few weeks ago. Now, we have baby blue birds.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYCE!!!

AWANA and Ball

Bryce had his first baseball game on Tuesday night (after 2 games being rained out). I think I was more nervous than him. He did really good and even scored a run.

Last Wednesday night was AWANA Awards night. Aubree has finished up her two years in Cubbies and will move up to Sparks in the fall. Bryce finished his 3 years in Sparks and will be in T&T (Truth & Training) in the fall. Praying God will continue to hide His Word in their hearts!!
