A little weekend update

Not a long post about our weekend because I was sick Friday and most of Saturday from the yucky sore throat/cold going around. B had it first, passed it to me, and now Daniel is getting it.  Luckily with medicine around the clock we can all breathe better!!

I managed to get up enough energy to go see my baby brother go to his senior prom last night!!  Briley loved seeing Landry (my brother's girlfriend) in her "princess dress".  Of course Miss B had to take a few pictures with them!!

My Mom and her baby!!

 Uncle John with his two dates!!

Pretty couple!!

This morning we did something we have been praying about for A LONG time and tried a new church in our area.  We have been driving to our home church (where we got married, both our families go, pastor who did our wedding, Daniel's Mom and Hadley's funeral, etc.) ever since we moved out here.   Both Daniel and I have contemplated moving and trying different churches but let's be honest...no one likes change right?!?  Well God has been waving this particular church in our face all year and we finally listened and went today :)  God isn't an "I told you so kind of God" but if he was I think he might have said "I told ya so!!" to Daniel and I today :) We enjoyed it very much and we were lucky to have such a warm welcome by a sweet family, The Forgey's.  I teach their daughter Ryan this year and they also have a little boy, Matthew, who is close to Briley's age.  They are a precious family.  Going to ACF today just reiterated to me how awesome God's timing is.  I can't say today if this could be our new church home but we sure felt something special while we were there.  All we can do now is give it to God and pray...
Here is Matthew, Briley and Ryan enjoying their yummy dessert after our lunch...

29 more school days until summer...I think I can, I think I can ;)Have a blessed week!!

Weekend Recap

We had a fun and busy weekend!!

Friday night after releasing Hadley's balloons we headed to my brothers last senior football game.  He hurt his ankle a month or so ago so he wasn't able to play but they did make it to the playoffs so we are hoping the doctor will clear him for those games.  We did still want to go to support him because it was senior night and John and my parents were recognized on the field!!

John and my parents name being called!!

Briley and her Mega (my mom's mom)

 Briley got to go on the field with her Gigi and Pa!! 

 Singing the L.D. Bell Alma Mater!!  Where Briley's Pa, Mommy, Daddy, and Uncles all graduated from.  Well Uncle John will in May!!  I love how she had her finger up during the song!!

 Here comes Uncle John!!

  So proud of my little brother!!  He is such a great kicker and we are hoping to attend college football games watching Uncle John as the kicker!!

After we heard my brother receognized, we rushed over to Daniel's Dad's house to watch Game 7 of the World Series.  Sadly our beloved Rangers did not win :(  We all took the loss pretty hard...we just knew this was their year!!  But there is always next year and we are still Ranger fans and will be there opening day in April!!  A family tradition we will not break!!

Saturday evening we went to Daniel's Nanny's house for a yummy dinner and a hay ride!!  Briley had so much fun with her "cousins" running around Nanny's backyard...I love fall nights like this!!

My sweet little Halloween princess loved the hay ride.  Daddy drove her on her first one!!

Sunday, Briley and I enjoyed sleeping in, cleaning, and painting pumpkins!!  I hope to make painting pumpkins a tradition each year...she LOVED IT!!

She said the pumpkins were for Briley, Hadley, and Daddy...I love that she thinks of her baby sister!!

Sunday evening we headed over to my Grandaddy's house to celebrate his birthday.  Grandaddy is my Mom's Dad and I have so many special memories at his and my Granny Nell's house and I love that Briley had so much fun tonight!!

 Busy weekend and even busier week...fun Halloween memories to take pictures of tomorrow!!

In Christ's Love,

Our weekend in iPhone pics!!

I love fall weekends!!  Especially when they include an extra day!!

On Saturday we went to the Ranger game while my Mom took Briley to a pumpkin patch birthday party for my Mom's cousin's little boy.  We had so much fun at the game...even with the rain!!  Briley had a BLAST at the pumpkin patch as well!!  My mom was so sweet to send me pictures :)

On Sunday, Daniel was at work so Briley and I did what girls do best...

Made a mess while playing dress up!!  I'd rather make memories than clean up ;)

Baked a cake for no reason!!

Gave ourselves manicures and pedicures (her first time with painted fingernails!!)  Not pictured- Several naps, endless movie watching, and a bubble bath :)  I love time with my sweet girl!!

Today has been a relaxing day...

Daniel brought us home donuts and Briley loved her donut holes with pumpkin sprinkles on them!!

Daniel is at the Ranger game so Briley and I made a quick trip to Hobby Lobby, Chick Fil A, and Kroger.  I have been seeing the fall trail mix on pinterest a lot so I decided to mix up a batch to take to Briley's baby sitter, Kristin, and her family this week.

I thought it turned out pretty cute!!  The printable is also from pinterest!!

I feel pretty rested and ready for the week.  Only 4 more days until the weekend!!  ;)

In Christ's Love,
