Fun day

A couple of weeks ago my cousins came to visit!I loved having my aunt and cousins here!



I was very entertained by them dancing and singing to me.
I tried some moves of my own. Here is my signature move- The bicycle.



We even took a trip to the fire station.
C&G got to "drive" the truck.


Here we are getting some boy time in.


Thanks so much for coming to visit me C&G.

Quick Pics

These are from my phone. The quality isn't great, but it gets the job done in a pinch.




Ready for my field trip with Daddy. We are always on the go.




Have you seen my crazy hair????

Guide

I had to share where God led me this morning while sweet Aubrey was sleeping.

Isiah 58:11
"The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."

Psalm 48:14
"For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be your guide even to the end."

Psalm 25:5
"Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."

Isiah 42:16
"I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them."

Psalm 107:9
"for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things"

I know that he is guiding me, and leading me. I am trying to be open and listen and follow the path. These verses are proof. I didn't start this morning reading about being led....I started with water. Look where it got me.

(I will try to post pics of the boy, but he isn't a fan of sitting in my lap while I mess with the computer.)

Trip to MeMe and Papa's

So I know that I am behind on blogging, but this little boy keeps my busy. I have returned to work this week part time and I am having a hard time leaving Aubrey. I am so thankful that I am working only part time and that we haven't had to put him in daycare. Davy and our mom's are taking care of him on the days when I am at work. My job has been great about my schedule, and I am so blessed by all of this.

Aubrey got to take his second overnight road trip to MeMe and Papa's. He visited the farm (sorry no pics- it was way to windy for him), and spent the night in the crib that I used as a baby. He did really well, and loved the time with his grandparents.


Papa telling Aubrey a story.



They are both in hog heaven. Can you tell???


One of my favorite pics from the weekend. My boy prefers the "windblown" look for his hair.

Catch up

One Month Old

It snowed for Aubrey's 1 month pics, and we couldn't resist getting a picture of him in it.

6 weeks old




First Stock Show

So we made it to the Ft. Worth Stock show with Aubrey in tow. He did really great on his first road trip and big outing. He got to see lots of people that have been waiting to meet him, and spend quality time with Grammy and Pops. We will be taking another road trip soon to see MeMe and Papa.

Be still.

It has been a while since I have been compelled to blog about something that didn't involve Aubrey. I am sure by the end of this blog I will have blogged about him to, but that isn't the reason behind this blog.
I believe as a Christian there are things/people that are put on your heart to pray for. You may not know why but it is a desperate need to pray. I love that about our God. You may not even know the reason but he has you praying earnestly. After Aubrey was born I found myself without my morning prayer time, and I was so out of whack because I hadn't been getting it. My husband so kindly reminded me that it is ok to take that time for myself so that I wouldn't have a nervous break down. But as soon as I started to make that time again for me and God things righted themselves and I couldn't feel better. I have been reading in 1st and 2nd Samuel and have been getting background on David which then shows me such amazing things when reading in Psalms. (I promise that this rambling is coming together). Last Sunday we read in Psalm 46 and it really hit me, the praying that I had been doing and the strength behind it is so powerful even when you don't know it. The 2 things that I took from the psalm is the first verse "God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble." (which is a verse on my bathroom mirror that I have had for years) and the 10th verse "Be still, and know that I am God". AMEN!!!!!! Be still. Those two words say it all. Listen to God. Know what he is putting on your heart may not make since at the time, but that it is for a reason and is very powerful.
I may not understand all that I read in the bible, but I know that if I am still an explanation when present itself and it will be clear for me. In the old testament there is alot of fighting that goes on, and I never really realized it until now, and that most of the psalms then reflect portions of the fighting. Here in 46 there are images in comparison to a fortress under siege and that God is there within that fortress so it will be protected. In today's time we are the fortress. God inhabits us and when we are under siege you have to remember that. When you are in the midst of a fight where the devil is giving you all he's got remember that no matter what you will be protected. That is such a comforting thought. God is our refuge...an ever present help in trouble.
