Audience of One!

  Parker singing about Jesus as a Kindergartener...make my heart smile and the angels rejoice!  Our awesome church family creates so many moving worship experiences to celebrate the birth of Jesus.  We are beyond blessed to minister to the people of FBC Amarillo.

 

Some of my girls dancing for Jesus!

The best scene of all!

 It was hard to get a straight shot from where we were sitting 

and we were focused on being moved by the Lord!

 

Christmas Traditions & Baseball Bats

 The very first thing our family decorates for Christmas is the nativity; we were all helping and forgot to get a picture of that sweet time.  Then, we are off to the tree, stockings, garland and the rest of the 10 crates of decor we have stored! :)

 Parker took a break to put this puzzle together...

 He is always in the learning mood!

 Bradley and I actually bake together several times over the Christmas season.  It's so fun to work together and then share our goods with others!

  Football, nah!  Let's play some good ole' baseball...with some tunes in the background (can you see the ancient CD player behind Tate!?  He LOVES that thing!).

Opposites

These two boys are so very different when it comes to dealing with sleepiness! :)

Parker gets CRAZY while Tate just about falls over and is quiet.

This pictures is pretty close to our bedtime experiences every school night!

Sleep tight boys. We love you to the moon and back and back again, and again, and...

Art

Parker absolutely loves his Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Escobedo. She is a believer and is perfect for our little guy! :) Thank you Lord for sending her to our family. AND, we just happen to share the alley behind our house with her! God is good!

Carving and Painting

The boys and I LOVE to pick out pumpkins and get crafty!

Paint and paint brushes

Finished pumpkin from my oldest Punkin

Great job Tate! :)

I love you my little artists!

You are so much fun when you are using the creativity that God has blessed you with.

Operation Christmas Child

These are some of the girls I work with on Wednesday evenings doing missions! Our goal is to teach them that missions isn't something that is only done on foreign soil but EVERY day of our lives! This year we collected items for Operation Christmas Child and prepared over 35 boxes. Our boxes were sent to Mexico and Haiti for orphans! What a blessing it is for me to be a part of the beautiful girls and share in their learning and doing of missions in name of our Jesus!

World Series

Bradley had the opportunity to go to several Texas Ranger playoff games during the fall of 2011. This is a picture of the field from where he sat at one of the games. It's so fun to watch Bradley get excited about the success of a team he has cheered for most of his life...and see Parker and Tate follow in his footsteps!
