Kindergarten Music Program "The Circus"

Last Thursday night, all of the Kindergarten classes at her school put together a music program based on a circus. I think there was probably 4 or 5 classes so the gym was packed with all types of characters. It was so cute. Austyn volunteered to be a hula hooper but we decided after I had put together her "outfit" that it looked more like something from the old movie Flashdance. But she loved it and that's what mattered. She did a fantastic job hula hooping!!!

Kites 4 Kids 2009

This last Sunday was our church homes community event called Kites 4 Kids. This is one of our favorite events of every year. It's big and alots of fun. At one point during the event, I looked up into the sky and noticed that there were probably over 250 kites in the air at one time. It's was crazy cool! The girls had a blast and thank goodness didn't get sunburned thanks to their fantastic daddy who take care of bathing them in sunblock before the day got started. On the other hand, I'm still recovering from a horrible sunburn. I don't normally go without sunblock but I got started taking pictures for the video I'm doing this Sunday of Kites 4 Kids and completely forgot about sunblock. A nice reminder that I will not forget next time.

Our pastor and his wife taking baby boo for a little ride

Good friends ours hangin' out with us. I've watched their kiddos for a little over three years now. Crazy how fast the time flys.

This is baby boo NOT happy at all because Daddy tied her kite to her pants so she wouldn't lose it while he was helping Austyn with hers. She let him know just how unhappy she really was.

Even more Easter Fun

This was a sign Austyn made for her friend who was coming over last night for a slumber party. It read, "Welcome to my sleepover. Come have some fun." It was too cute. She did really well on her spelling too.

Breaking Free Day by Day - Beth Moore

"We did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:16 Beth Moore writes - In the days before I began to enjoy the fullness of Christ, I somehow knew God's Word was true and that the problem rested with me. But for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I served Him. I even had a love for Him, however immature. But I still fought an emptiness that kept me looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong places. Never once in my youth did I hear the clear teaching about the Spirit-filled life. Perhaps this is the reason I refuse to shut up about it now. Either Jesus Christ can satisfy us and meet our deepest needs, or God's Word is deceptive.

Chillin' Wednesday

Today baby girl and I got to just chill together. We started out the day with a walk in the beautiful weather. Avery had to be decked out in her hat and shades. She also had to bring her water bottle. After the walk, we came back to watch some Oswald on Noggin. We LOVE Noggin. We also had to read books at the same time. It was a great morning!!! I had a great time just chillin' like a villain with my baby girl.

Soccer Kick Off 2009

Austyn had her first soccer game yesterday evening. It was a beautiful day outside and just amazing for a great soccer game. We won and Austyn scored one of our 13 goals. She did such a great job. We are so proud of her. This is her 4th year playing soccer and she's really come a long way.
