Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:15-16

Dylan turns 11...

 My boys!


 Dylan loves legos...he wants lots of pieces! This one had about 900 I think!  Thinking it might take him a few days to put it together...no...he had it together within a couple hours of starting it on Christmas Day!

 Love him!


Running!  Mason and Dylan have started running in 5K's this fall!  They seem to really like it!



Funny guy!

What a wonderful time we have had this weekend celebrating Dylan's Birthday!  I have been so very blessed with this precious boy!  Dylan is very sweet, great big brother, very strong willed, very smart, but most of all a very sincere and kind boy!  He is precious to his father and I!  I will never forget New Years Day eleven years ago when we finally got to meet that little red headed boy!  It was a long day but I wouldn't trade it for anything!  Precious memories!!!  This weekend we started with a little trip to Murfreesboro...we had some things to exchange at Toys R Us and decided to surprise the kids with Chuck E Cheese's.  We then went shopping most of the afternoon and ended the night at P.F. Chang's (my favorite)!  I really thought they would make it to ring in the new year with their daddy...momma cherishes her sleep right now with Noah still being a restless sleeper.  I knew I would be better off and everyone would like me more today if I went ahead to bed!  I think they made it to around 11 or 11:30.  This morning we got up and Dylan opened his presents.  More legos and some board games!  We headed to church and then ate at Outback (Dylan's choice) for lunch.  We came home to a very long afternoon of Monopoly!  Very very long afternoon of monopoly...and Dylan beat us all.  I am so thankful for Dylan! I am thankful for all of my kids and I hope not a day goes by that I don't tell God how thankful I am to be there momma and that he entrusted me with these precious boys!  I also hope not a day goes by that I don't tell them how important they are to me.  The most important thing to me is that my children come to know the Lord..so far three of the four have trusted their lives to Jesus which is huge to me!  There is not a more joyous or special occasion than the day your child accepts Christ as his Savior!  I pray that God will give me the strength, courage and guidence I need in the upcoming years of raising four boys!  We get to do this again next weekend for Mason's birthday!! Yes, we have another birthday in only a week!  So, I guess there will be more to come!
