Footie Footie Football Weekend

Last weekend started with Dragon football WAY down in southeast Texas. Long drive to a school close to Orange, Texas. Home at 2:00am then up mid morning and packed and headed to College Station for the Aggie game against SFA. With the schedule last weekend it is a good thing I have learned to like football. Here are some pictures from the weekend.


We got to spend a little time with William while we were there. He is liking school and his girlfriend flew in for the weekend.
It was a nice surprise to see her.

Natalie...she is so sweet and lovely.


I hope that your Labor day weekend was relaxing and wonderful! We grilled burgers and watched...Football. How did you know?

Love this verse:


Prov. 7:1 &2

My son, keep My words and store up My commands within you. Keep My commands and you will live, guard My teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.




Love this boy.










Blessings!

Amy, your blog posts make me smile and challenge me all at the same time as you stay true to the Word. Your behind-the-scenes glipses of daily life in your amazing family are precious and are such an encouragement to me!

I know that you are one very proud aunt, and so I wanted to pass along a link to Sam and Emmanuel Acho's IAMSECOND video (http://www.iamsecondaustin.com/); it is a tremendous statement to Colt's leadership and gives examples of how he helped them. Since it seems like this has become sort of a collecting point for Colt's articles, I'll add one of mine as well: http://bluebonnetinthesnow.blogspot.com/2009/12/men-of-faith.html

May God continue to encourage you so you can continue to be an encouragement to others! Acts 13:15

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
