Colossians 3:17

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

Best Mother's Day Ever

I told my family that what I wanted for Mother's Day was a new dining room table and a clean house.  They did far above and beyond what I asked.

Isaac spent a couple of hours putting together a new cabinet all by himself!

Look at that precious little man concentrate.  He's building a cabinet!  Following the instructions all by himself. 

Abigail helped by putting pads on the new chairs. 

And helping to put things back together with some rearrangements. 

The old dining table was moved one room over, puzzle and all. 

There's the new table and chairs, and the little man putting finishing touches on his cabinet.

The breakfast room got a new tablecloth and Adel moved the chandelier over so it is finally in the center in the table.  

My bedroom got some color with curtains!

And there is the precious boy with his finished cabinet.  He is so proud!

Inside, it is a charging station for all our tech stuff.  Who am I kidding, I am so proud of him!

Super Star

These action shots were too fun not to share them all.  I love this girl.



























Beach Day Finds

I enjoyed a day at Galveston with my church staff today.  During a walk on the beach, I found 2 interesting things that I brought home to show the kids:

I didn't know what this was so I posted it on Facebook.  Turns out it's whelk egg casings. 

This one is still a mystery.

Catalyst Conference

Last week I went to the Catalyst conference with my fun ministry friends.  

Tiffany and I being silly, me with an iced coffee contraband, and her with sunglasses on inside as we sit under the red spotlight. 

The theme was "Known" so this gnome was a funny reminder. 

Travel companions.

Lots of fun and excitement.


I am a very social person, but I do love my quiet time too.  Skipped a couple of the sessions so I could have some. 

Sporty Nicole climbed the rock wall...

...in jeans and boots.

In about 2 minutes.  That's impressive!

Day 2, Creek Kids friends.
