"How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from you commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:9-11

Why do we try to conform God to our will? Live in His word and know true joy.

Monday~
"Make me to know your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old."

God reveals the truth of our time and all time to us through Scripture.

More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb."
Psalm 19:7-10

All the laws in all the books in all the libraries of the world are but a footnote to the law of God.

Valentine Family Weekend


So I have not been taking many pictures because our camera in on its last leg, and I have not reached my weight loss goal...nor have we saved the money for the camera we would like yet...so please bear with the terrible quality of the pictures in the posts from now on out!

BUT, we did enjoy a great family time on Valentines weekend...we stayed at a GREAT hotel for TWO nights (thanks to a great couple a friends who decided instead of gifting eachother on V-Day they wanted to buy us a second night so we could have more family time!  Thanks Jason & Lex!)  We of course did LOTS of swimming since our hotel had a 130 ft water slide and then Saturday we went SHOPPING!  We kind of spoiled our kids...since Grandpa & Grandma do it all the time they are SPOILED but we as their parents really do not so it that often, it was kind of fun! 

But our newest tradition is that every time we go to the mall we get to pick one ride on the way out...that day they wanted the SPEED boat!  They enjoyed their ride (and I am thankful that they are no longer deathly afraid of these things!)


We also went to Pottery2Paint and let the kids paint their own ice cream bowls...BooBear LOVED it because he doesn't mind getting dirty, but the Princess had a little trouble with it because she kept wanting to wash her hands because, "Mama, I'm MESSY!" 
lol


All in all they enjoyed it and would like to go back an make more...of course the Princess has her eye on the $54 life size puppy, and just what would we do with that?!?!?

And here is the finished product:



Handsome and I realized how much of perfectionists we were as we were just to 'assist' the kids and let them do WHATEVER.THEY.WANTED with the paints...it was killing us to not step in and help them 'stay in the lines' but we managed and now we have a great keepsake.  I did carve the date into the bottom of the bowls before they fired them so as to remember this day forever!  Seems like the kids want ice cream all.the.TIME. now!

*Check back tomorow for pictures of our little fish!
