A day to mark in history

You know when something rare happens, one might say, "mark that one down!?" Well, yesterday, on a Sunday morning, our little family of 5 got ready for church in a half hour!!!! Everyone had slept in unintentionally and we had a decision to make... church or no church? We chose church pretty easily, but not without me warning everyone that they'd better put a little hustle in their bustle! :) I just love our church family and I am happy we were able to go worship with them today despite our extra hurriedness prior to getting there! :)

2013 Soccer

My cutie boys on opening day for soccer! I love their sweet smiles and their (sometimes) love for each other! :)

Beautiful Day

So I have decided that I am pretty much the worst blogger ever! Earlier I had promised pictures from 2012, I think I better just skip that and stick with the current year and the current events of my life! :)
Today, Isaiah and Peyton had their first soccer games of the season. This year they are playing at the PAL through the YMCA. Both of their games were at 11am so we had to split our time and go back and forth between fields. Zaya is on the 3 and 4 year old team, they are the Comets and they are royal blue. Peyton is on the 5 and 6 year old team and his team is called Mercury and their color is red. Of course, the boys look absolutely adorable in their little t-shirts running around with their teammates. Zaya was pretty timid today, but at least he ran close to the ball the whole game! :) Peyton was aggressive and did a great job going after the ball and having a positive attitude. I especially loved that when he was on the bench, he was happy to be cheering his team on. The boys had the biggest cheering section out of everyone, I think... Uncle Bryan, Aunt Erica, Alexis, Uncle Chad, Aunt Chanda, JoJo, Hadley, Aunt Kate, Tyler, and Grandpa were all there to cheer them on. We are so fortunate to have so many people who love our children and help give them the support and love they need as they go through their sweet little lives! :) I look forward to watching many more games that the boys(and maybe Lily) play! :)
 After their games, we went home and had a picnic lunch, as it was an absolute perfectly gorgeous day out! Shane worked 2nd shift this afternoon, so Kate and Ty and Mom came with the kids and I to the zoo. We had so much fun. I was so proud of the boys behavior while there, but Lily on the otherhand, was having a bit of meltdown towards the end. She only slept for about 20 minutes in the van on the way up to the zoo and she clearly was in need of some time to get her energy back. Despite that, I had a wonderful time with everyone!
 I am loving this warmer weather... Today it was 70, wooooohoooo!!! I would totally take more days like these!! :) Thank you Jesus for my awesome family and all that you have blessed me with!

Remember banana clips?!

So my co-worker, Jenny, has been wearing these the last couple of months and she is convinced she is going to "bring them back!" The other day she brought me one and had a "vision" for what my hair would look like with one in, and this is what she came up with! Cute, huh?!

Cousin' lovin', take 2 this week!

I am convinced Lily is annoyed with everyone saying "cheese" so loudly upon taking a picture. We are going to try some different methods and hope to get some pics where she looks somewhat happy! :)

A Woman's Heart God's Dwelling Place

We just finished up this wonderful Bible study by Beth Moore and I am so sad that its over! I learned so much from this study and the girls I had the privilege of being in it with. My sister did a terrific job leading our group, she is super organized, has the gift of teaching, and loves the Lord, so this was right up her alley! There were so many things I took away from this study, but one of the main ones for me were that God pays so much attention to detail. Nothing is on accident. We learned about the tabernacle, Moses, and the dingdong Israelites. Each of which shed new light on God's amazing love for us! Phillipians 3:10 says, for my determined purpose is to know you... This is one of my favorite verses from the whole study and I am praying I remember this as I go through each day! :)

Cute nails

I purchased this nail polish about 4 months ago... I'm just now getting around to actually putting it on! :) The verdict is in---I LOVE IT!! Mochachino by Essie, great color, fast drying, and just a little bit of shimmer... All in all, a perfect accessory to all 10 of my fingers! :)
