Big Boy Chair

Wyatt graduated to a booster chair last week! He looks wayyy too big in his new chair. No more high

chairs in this house!

All About Avery

While arriving at school yesterday, out of the blue, Avery says, "Jesus is in my heart! Is Jesus in your heart, mommy?" Wow! What amazing words to hear from your three year old! We have talked many times about Jesus being a part of our daily lives & living in our heart but I also credit St. John Early Childhood Center for her knowing her Lord & Savior! To God be the glory!

Something else she said this week... While pulling out of the garage a couple of days ago, she noticed how bright the sun was shining & said, "Mommy, why is it so bright & sunny today?" I said, "Well, that's what weather God decided to give us today. Isn't it pretty?" Avery then said, "It's too bright. I want him to put it away!" Oh my! The things she comes up with! Love that girl!

12 in '12

Wish this was my original idea, but I found it on several other blogs while trying to find a way to share my resolutions... {In no particular order.}

One. Read {and finish}The One Year Bible. I have had this book over a year now...

Two. Make more time EACH day to play with my precious children.

 
Three. Spend less time on Facebook & more time on my blog.

Four. Read more. I have started reading distant shores by kristin hannah.

 Five. Pick back up where I left off on Couch to 5k & run a 5k sometime before June.

 
Six. Stress less about cleaning my floors. This has become an obsession...hands & knees scrubbing the tile. WHY? Maybe if I stop cleaning them constantly, I will have more time to play with my kiddos.

 
Seven. Have more patience & understanding for people in general.

Eight. Complain less & compliment more. This was my first resolution & I have done really well so far. :)

 
Nine. Take an online photography class & become more familiar with my camera & my new lens that I got for Christmas.

 Ten. Pray more. The amount of blessings God has bestowed on me is amazing & I need to thank him even more often than I do.

Eleven.  Sew more. I have started making clothes for my little ones & very much enjoy it. I just need more time!

 

twelve. Throw out things that I {we} don't use & stay more organized so I don't have to spend a day {or two} just putting things away/back in their place. 

So, there you have it! These will definitely be a challenge for me but I am totally up for it! What are your resolutions?

Happy New Year! May 2012 be a good one!

Meineke Car Care Bowl-Texas A&M vs. Northwestern Wildcats

Our wonderful friends, the Cones family, invited us to go with them to the Bowl game on New Year's Eve. Our seats were on the second row, 27 yard line. Awesome seats! We had a great time & the Aggies won! 

WHOOP!

 

 

Santa Claus Came to Town!

Even though the kids don't get the whole "Santa" thing, they were {of course} still excited about what Santa brought. Each time we asked Avery what she wanted for Christmas, she said, "a super fast car for Wyatt." She never asked for anything for herself. I am sure this will change next year! I got just a few shots

Christmas morning.
