Be Still

Yesterday as we were driving down Flint, Blake says to me "Mom, what would you think if decided to go into the military after I get out of school?" Before  I could answer Brock says " Blake, what about pro football? You always say you want to play pro football!" Blake begins to tell us that as he was at D-Now this fall that he was being still and quiet and that he felt like God was talking to him about what he needed to be doing with his life. He really feel like God is telling him that it may not be football. Blake thinks that God is telling him to look in another direction. The military.

I don't think I ever remember God talking to me when I was just a child. Although I know even if he was talking  to me I was ignoring him. I thought I had better ideas that anyone He or anyone else! I know God has plans for Blake. I am so excited that Blake is able to be still and know...

Psalms 46:10 Be still and know I am God. I will be exalted in the nation I will be exalted in the earth.

This is what I have been struggling with all season!

watch it and let me know what you think...

Sorry! No Christmas Cards!

Our photographer was unable to get to us this year for pictures. I waited too long to do them myself so I guess this will be our Christmas Card for this year. I will try to do better next year!

Merry Christmas!

We pray you will find the true peace!

Gods peace!

My MOM Rocks!

My mom made me some really cute kitchen towels. I asked for some but was not sure what kind she would make me. She decided to go with Great Danes! I'm so glad she did. they are awesome.

My mom is very good at the sewing world. I am afraid I have not had the time to learn how to do any of the thing my mom can do. I hope some day I will be able to learn how to do these things.

This time of year I get to pull out the really great stocking she has made for my family. These are way cute and I love these!

This one is MINE and it is over 30 years old. Would that make it a "VINTAGE"?

What do you think of my vintage ornament wreath?

Thank you to my mom for all the crafty thing you make me!

Busy Daze

Sometimes its so busy its like you are in a daze! All five of the kids preformed in some way within the past week. Brock and Blake had to sing on Sunday morning. Blake was the Nutcracker Prince and Drosselmeyer's Nephew in the Lubbock Ballet's Nutcracker. Ashley, Taylor and Kaylee were the Three Wise men in the Children's Choir Christmas concert. They all had to sing a solo. My parents came up for my Birthday and we went out to eat at my very favorite place..."Double Dave's"! I love the chocolate pizza and the Philly cheese steak Stromboli. mmmmgood! Today Blake played his very first ever basketball game. They got to play in the big gym at LHS so that was kind of neat. They did not win but I guess thats just part of life!

The boys singing with LifeSong.

Ashley wore her hair in a Bow. Thanks to the helpful hints at http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/

It was fun to get all dressed up for the ballet. I fixed Kaylee's hair like this girl form http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/

This girl also played Clara with the prince on 2 of the other performances. She was the Festival Fairy the night we went.

Be watching for the prince tonight, Friday night and Saturday night! I am so proud of Blake for being open to something like Ballet! He has always been strictly football and baseball and all the tough boy stuff, but this has opened his eyes to the fact that men in ballet are WAAYY stronger than most other athletes. Plus they get to hang out with a bunch of really cute and sweet girls! Pictures of his adventures to follow....
