Only Trust Him

This morning I read Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will counsel you and watch over you."
I used to read the story of the Israelites and wonder how they could see so many amazing answers to prayer and still not trust the Lord with all of their hearts. It just didn't make any sense that God would reveal Himself so miraculously over and over, and still the people doubted and complained. But really who am I so different from the Israelites? God has not only given me a way to be saved and know Him personally, but He leads me daily in this life and is always with me through every trial I face. Still I doubt Him and complain. Even after He promises and proves to me that He is with me.
Recently we were praying with the boys and Logan's prayer was, "Dear God, You are so awesome. You make me happy and I love you." So simple...but I am thankful for that. I love how God continues to use children to remind me that I don't have to figure everything out. He is in control. I should just love him and thank Him for being so awesome!

More summer stuff...

This picture is from Jerod & Katie's wedding shower. It's so fun to watch the number of girls in this family quietly grow and take over. Ha! We're gaining on you guys! I made the picture black & white because I am so pale standing next to Katie's extreme tan and Elizabeth had a bad sunburn! So, it was a little less distracting this way. : ) I am so thankful for these ladies!

The most beautiful baby girl in the world...sweet little Hannah. I can't go too many posts without a picture of her!

Landry & Logan had a lemonade stand recently that also featured original comic books by Landry! What a fun day...and very hot. : )

My sweet boys...such good brothers.

Summer Stuff

We had a great trip with Papa John, Mama Gina, Mandy & kids, & Myka this week! All the kids got new shoes for school...and somehow Hannah & Myka picked out the same pink ones! I had forgotten how much fun grandparents can cram into one week! The kids had a blast...and now the adults need another vacation. : )





This is me & Mandy at the Dallas Aquarium. There were so many things to look at...and much more than just fish! Monkeys, penguins, and even a jaguar! Crazy.

I love this picture because it is Logan and Jonah playing a game at Incredible Pizza. But this is no ordinary game...it is ironic that these two chose this game to play together because the object of the game is to shoot the bad peanuts! Ha! I loved it!

Incredible Pizza turned out to be pretty incredible! The kids had a blast! What a fun trip!
