Summer Fun and Family

It has been over a month since I have blogged at all and I hate that! I was going to try a lot harder and it seems I never have time OR make time. LOL. Piercen is loving summer and is growing like a weed. He is now 2 1/2 years old (31 months seems like A LOT) and we are enjoying SUMMER FUN! Here is one of my favorite pictures of him that I have taken recently... He L.O.V.E.S the water!!! He isn't afraid of it one bit and honestly can swim pretty well. My mom calls it dog paddling. HaHa! We've had a really great time.

Piercen you are ...

*loving summer and enjoy being in the pool. You love to jump off of the side and are NOT afraid one bit.

*you still love your guitar and have found a new love for your boots.. Mommy and daddy gave you a new pair just this week for pee peeing on the potty like a big boy!

*potty training is going okay.... consistency MOMMY! (Big wink)

*you love riding the four wheeler at Paps and ask to often.

*you love church - when I am getting you dresssed whether morning, noon or night you ask "are we going to church"

*you love to play with 'my friends' as you say (Savannah, JoJo aka Jo-Elle and Gaba aka Gabrielle) they would ALL be girls :D

*you are 36 in tall and growing each and every day..

*you have the most precious laugh ever.

*you will now sit and watch tv for a bit... you love toot and puddle, little house on the prairie, and the movie Charlotte's Web & Hotel for Dogs

*you are a pretty good eater - love grilled chicken, pizza, and banannas.... You can NO do without your apple juice but mommy has to limit it.

*you will say about three sentences together and today 7/23/09 said 14 words one right after the other!!!

*you love trucks, hotwheels and horses.

*you can count to eleven

*you wear a size 2t and a 8.5 shoe

*you will take up for anyone if you think someone is being fussy at them

*you have began singing along to the Cd's in the car ..

*you can carry on a pretty good conversation over the ph with nana but you like to shake your head a lot like she can see you - when Paps tries to talk to you all you ask about is that four wheeler! LOL

*you A.L.W.A.Y.S say thank you - without fail. And you are doing really well with Please!

*you always say you are sorry if you get into trouble, hurt someone on accident.

*you are learning about Jesus and know he is in Heaven and we are going there some day... you know the first part of John 3:16 and can say "For God so loved the world" by heart.... you do it with GREAT excitement!!! (wink)

*you love stickers and are really taking an interest in coloring

*you are very independent and like to do things for yourself...

*you can undress yourself completely, dress yourself pretty well except for buttons or snaps and put your shoes on (sometimes on the wrong foot but when told switch them)

*you still travel like a *CHAMP*

I love you baby boy! I pray for you every day and I know you are going to accept Jesus at a young age. I enjoy every single moment with you and am so thankful I am able to be home with you. I never want to take for granted my time with you. I remember praying for God to send us a baby and I knew I'd be happy once that time came if the Lord saw fit but I never imagined I'd be THIS happy! You are such a joy and I love you with all my heart. I pray for wisdom and knowledge as your daddy and I teach you, guide you and nurture you. May we always point you to Jesus!

Mommy

Ministry updates ....

Jeremy has been traveling preaching several revivals along with church camp in OK. They had 17 saved at the Poteau River Valley. Isn't God good? The week after that camp we actually had church camp with three other churches at our home town with our home church. Bro Grant did a great job preaching and several were saved including some from our church. We attended services there and enjoyed the week! We then had revival at Pioneer FWB and it was awesome to be in service there. The people are there are family! They will make you feel so many ways that you are bound to like one of them! Jeremy just finished out this week in Casa, AR and the house was packed each night. It was a refreshing time for the church and 3 souls were saved. The most exciting thing, the ones who got saved came back for the services the following nights!

I love what God is doing and what he continues to show me. I've been listening to Jason Crabb's new CD and it has blessed my heart. "With every breathe I will praise you". I sure am thankful that inspite of the times I fail he loves me! If he never did another thing in my life he has already blessed me beyond my wildest dreams..... that is reason to praise HIM!
