Baseball Game/Small Group

Last Wednesday Chris had the great idea to invite our small group out to the OU Baseball game. We all sat in the out field and let the kids run around and play. My friend Kristi got lots of great pictures. Here are a couple I got from her blog.

Yesterday I went to Mabry's Birthday Party at Lions Park.

I had a really great time with my friends. We painted flower pots, played on the Big toys and I even got my arm painted. It was really fun. Papa I miss you!

Learning to drive

Saturday afternoon we pulled out Kennedy's Dora Jeep at SuSu and Papa's for the first time in a year. It did not take Kennedy long to figure out how to push the gas. She was cruising all over the back yard! It was so much fun! The best part was watching us chase her around to help her steer. She has not figured out the steering yet!

Special Bubble Bath

The other morning, Kennedy had woke up extra early due to the pain of one of her two year molers coming in. Needless to say, she was a little cranky. So I decided to give her a extra special BIG BUBBLE BATH! She was so excited that it melted her pain away and she cheered up in a hurry! To all the mom's out there, baths are a miricale worker. My friend Zan and I had a conversation the other day, that is you just throw your kid in the bath it instantly calms them down! So here is a picture of her Extra Special Bubble Bath!

Easter Dress

Here are a couple pictures of Kennedy in her Easter dress. She got lots of goodies in her Easter baskets from Daddy and Mommy, Grandma and Grandpa and Susu and Papa. So if anyone needs any candy, please come over, we have lots to share!

Nothhaven Family Fun Night

Family Fun night a Kennedy's School was last night. Kennedy had artwork on display, they had games and a moonbounce, and the most exciting this is, they had a Thomas the train ride. Kennedy, Blakely, Megan and I took a ride, it was so much fun.

Christian and Mason, joined us, the Waldenville's and the Miller's for Pizza in the auditoirum. We had a great time!

Reading Time!

I love to read! Kennedy is in love with reading books right now. Some of the books we read regularly she has begun to memorize the words and can almost read the story to us! But her favorite is every night before bed, she requests to read he bible. It is Chris and I's favorite time of the day. Here is a picture of her reading one of her books!

2 Easter Egg Hunts, 1day!

Saturday we had the privalage of taking Kennedy to 2 Easter Egg Hunts. Kennedy had fun playing with friends, eating candy, jumping on moonbounces and searching for eggs.

On the car ride to our first egg hunt I reminded Kennedy, why we celebrated Easter, while I was telling the story, she gave an excited gasp of unbleif. It was really fun to see her reaction to the greatest love story ever told. That night as we were going to bed, we were reading the story in her bible, and I was reminded myself how exciting it is to think of Christ raising from the dead! Thank you Father for sending your Son to die for us!

My Favorite

For the 5 people how follow my Blog, I would like you to please listen to Kari Jobe's song I'm Singing. It is my favorite song right now. Most of you probably know it and love it too, but I wanted to share! I could listen to it all day!

Kennedy's sweet friend Mason got Kennedy at ton of dress up clothes for her birthday. A couple days ago Kennedy wanted to put on her jewels and show daddy. So I had to capture this moment of her checking herself out in the bathroom mirror.

Ice Cream!

Wednesday night after Chris and I got home from small group, Chris sat down to eat a piece of cake that our friend April made for group, topped with a little ice cream. I was on my way to put Kennedy down for bed and she saw daddy with ice cweem. ( yes i meant to spell it like that! That is how Kennedy says it.) So she gave daddy some big puppy eyes and said pweese daddy. So I had to capture this sweet moment of the 2 of them eating cake and ice cream!

Psalms 118:24

Every morning Kennedy and I sing Psalms 118:24,  "this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!" This has always given me the opportunity to talk to Kennedy about all that God has made, we talk about weather, animals and nature. Today I was happy when she began singing along with mommy. I always love the days she wants to sing along, because yesterday, when mommy began to sing, Kennedy said...."No Mommy, I don't like it!" I however continued to sing. Then Kennedy respond, "No mommy, Stop." At this point I realized this was a teachable moment for not only Kennedy, but myself. 

I stopped, looked at Kennedy in the rear view mirror and said..." Mommy is not singing for you, I am singing for Jesus."

I realized at this moment, that sometimes we might not feel like praising the Lord, but when we show up and sit before his feet and worship his name, he will meet us there. Also, I know that by constantly praising God with Kennedy, she will learn that it is a daily commitment, and even when we are feeling off, we still can come before Jesus and prayer and song.

Today is truly the day that the Lord has made, let us all rejoice and be glad in it!
