Noah's Ark Days at Preschool!

This week at His Kids preschool we had a fun week of dressing up like animals for "Noah's Ark Day" which was held on Tuesday & Wednesday for the different classes. Since my kiddos go three days they got to participate in dressing up both days! The first day Parker didn't do so well seeing me with my class in the audience, but he did a lot better on Wednesday seeing only daddy & the 210 youth staff in the audience. :)

Carving pumpkins!

Have a safe & happy halloween! :)

Family, Faith, & Country...

I don't want to make my family & business blog about politics, however, I am a strong advocate for everyone who is registered to make their voice heard this election year! The time is now!!
I came across this video sent in an email from my friend Jill. It was put out by the Catholic church, but has a powerful message about coming together to take a stand & to SPEAK UP for what we believe in & what this country was founded upon!

Please go out & VOTE!!! May God Bless AMERICA!

Dewberry Farms, pumpkin patch fun!!

We started our Saturday out at the pediatrician's office for the kid's flu shots... then we were off to a farm north of Brookshire, TX called Dewberry Farms! The weather was beautiful today but it quickly warmed up while we were there. We went through their cornmaze, on a hayride to pick out a pumpkin, the kids & I rode the "corn train" while Brian laughed his head off at me (see pic's below in the album of the "train"), we played in hay & saw the animals at the petting zoo section! It was a FULL DAY!! Happy Fall!! I can't believe it's already the end of October!

Reminiscing....

Today while "assisting" Brian while he cleaned our carpet (our fun Saturday project for this week), I was going through some old pictures from when the kiddos were younger....

It's so sad to think how fast they are growing up &

how much they've changed in just ONE YEAR! :(
I thought I would share some...

Grandpa Johnson w/ Parker last Easter

Parker at 4 months!! (Our lil' linebacker!)

Halloween 2007~

What a difference a year makes…

Not only have our kids grown like weeds, but our student ministry that we are so blessed to be a part of here at Second Baptist has as well. It has been such a fun journey and I can’t believe it was ONLY one year ago that we all moved here to see what God has in store for 210 student ministries. Our youth staff is AMAZING & we wouldn’t change a thing about our move here to Katy, TX. EXCEPT OF COURSE TO BE CLOSER TO OUR FAMILY BACK IN ARKANSAS. But God is good and He has blessed us with great friends & an amazing church to be a part of.

Happy Birthday Mimi! (a day late...)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE LOVE YOU MIMI!!!! :)

Hope you had a great day, even if you did have to work...

We all miss you

and

we can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving!!!!

Friday night football - Katy vs. Morton Ranch

Last night, we took the kids to the Katy vs. Morton Ranch high school game & it was PACKED out... There was so much energy & it was a great game to watch,

as Morton Ranch was coming into the game undefeated & then Katy, is just Katy...

We have lots of students in our student ministry that attend both schools and God has given us INCREDIBLE favor with both football teams on each campus so we were cheering for both!

McKenna informed us as we were getting ready for the game that she was going to be a cheerleader for the game & needed to wear her "Razorhog" (that's what she calls the Razorbacks) uniform, there was no changing this 3 1/2 year olds mind... so she wore her Arkansas cheerleading uniform to the game! :)

The kids had a blast & the weather was AMAZING!!

It actually felt like a cool FALL evening here in South Texas!

Conversations...

Brian took Parker with him today to the Verizon Wireless store to have some things worked out with his phone. While they were there they lady gave Parker a phone just like Brian's new one... but it's not real, it's one of the model phones they use for display purposes in their store. Brian asked for one for McKenna too.... so when McKenna & I got home from shopping this afternoon, she had a "smart phone" too! We've created a monster... ;-)

This is what I walked into tonight to find occuring on the couch after their baths...

they are both in "serious conversations" with people--

McKenna with her friend "Morgan" & Parker with "Deacon"....

(the second picture looks like Parker is texting already!! )
