The Lord has been so good to us and we might not look as young (or beautiful) as we were 13 years ago, but we are stronger as a couple now more than ever. I am so proud of my man. He is an incredible father, spiritual leader of our family, my best friend and pastor. I love him and know I am so blessed!

After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.

We celebrated and had the party anyways (how do you tell a 4 year old, "Sorry, we are sad and not really feeling like having a party with a lot of people in our house right now"??) This girl had fun at her bubble party and that is all that mattered. :) <br /><br /><br />Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714466111976503844.post-57451662990490762742012-06-21T15:21:00.000-05:002012-08-24T20:30:00.769-05:00Swim Team Fun!Austin joined the Wortham Whitesharks Swim Team this summer and had a blast! If there are two things my boy likes to do they are swim and race! He never complained once about going to practice (EVERYDAY from end of April to June!!) and he liked being in the swim meets (though they are long and hard to keep a 6 year old occupied for 5 hours!) Here are some pics we captured from the season:<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/24/3119.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/24/s_3119.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Yep, he is a super silly (and cute!) kid!<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/24/3120.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/24/s_3120.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />This was at one of his first meets.

Swimming meets take A LOT of parents to pull off! It was great getting to meet our neighbors and something I hope we do every year. :)<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/24/3123.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/24/s_3123.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Daddy giving A Town a pep talk before one of his races.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/24/3124.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/24/s_3124.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/24/3125.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/24/s_3125.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/24/3126.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/24/s_3126.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />These two sisters were troopers each weekend of May and June! It's hot for an almost 4 year old and 5 year old to sit outside all morning.

His last meet was the best where he placed 2nd in his heat in the free and 3rd in the backstroke. Overall, great first time experience with swim team!

Just can't believe it!! In our house, 4 is that 'magic' age for us. We love this age and are finally starting to feel like we are officially out of the weeds. Parenting 3 kids so close together in age can be hard at times, but also so very rewarding. We can actually say we wouldn't change it if we had to do it all over again. It has been quite the ride (and will continue to be!), but we have loved it!<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/24/3321.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/24/s_3321.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Playing with her b-day gift from us.

He had been going downhill the few weeks before so it wasn't too big of a shock for her, but it was still a hard phone call to make. One of the bittersweet things was that we scheduled a flight for her and she was able to fly in from SA for his funeral and we got to see, hug and spend wonderful time with her for a whole week before she went back! It was wonderful and hard all at the same time.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/24/2955.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/24/s_2955.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />Here are the kiddos with their Aunt Zuzu right after she got off the plane.

He had just turned 90 in February and had been going slowly downhill for a while. Ever since my Jeannemommie passed away 6 years ago, he has talked about her every day and desperately missed her. I am so happy that he was able to reunite with her and now they are worshipping our Lord together in heaven. Grandaddy was a strong and intelligent man who served his county in WWII and was the oldest deacon of his church. Things I will always remember about him are they way he adored his wife, his barn full of license plates he collected from all over the world, how much he loved to travel, his love for polka and jazz music, how he wore his cowboy hat and boots everywhere he went (and he had a ton of them!), how he would always want me to sit on his lap as a kiddo and all the rides I took with him on his riding lawn mower, the many fun Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays we had at their house as a kid with our whole family, his chiming clocks in their house, how he was on time (early) everywhere he went, his love for his church and how he served there for many, many years, the several times he tried to talk to me about the dangerous 'world' as a teen and college student, how proud he was of my husband being a pastor and how he would always ask him and give him advice about our current church and ministry, how he and my Jeannemommie drove down to Waco right after Austin was born to meet their first great grand baby, (that meant the world to me), how devastated he was (we all were) when his wife and best friend of 60 years passed away, and the most recent memory of my own children exploring my grandparents house and barn like I did as a child. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/04/3445.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/04/s_3445.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />This was the last picture of my kiddos with their great grandfather at his 90th Birthday/Reunion. I will cherish it forever.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/04/3446.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/04/s_3446.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/04/3447.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/04/s_3447.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/04/3448.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/04/s_3448.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />It's amazing to think that on the day my first born was declaring to the church that he was new in Christ through baptism, my sweet Granddaddy went to be with our Lord. He carried on quite a legacy. Because of his and my grandmother's faithfulness, generations after them are surrendering their lives to the Lord.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/04/3449.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/04/s_3449.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />He LOVED his barn and spent countless hours there doing his favorite hobby, nailing up license plates. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/04/3450.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/04/s_3450.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />There are over 25,000 license plates from all over the world in there!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/04/3451.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/04/s_3451.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='201' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I stole this pic from my <a target="_blank" href="http://withanattitudeofgratitude.blogspot.com/2012/07/laughter.html">sister's blog </a>because I love it so much! This is a picture of 6 of the 9 grandchildren with my grandparents. I can hear Jeannemommie laughing right now in my head.<b> I loved her laugh. I loved them.
