Just remember to PRAISE GOD everyday for all that you do have and try hard not to dwell on what you don't have!!

"The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me, who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me. Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O LORD; I will sing praises to your name."Psalm 18:46-49

HAVE A SIX FLAGS DAY!!!

Yesterday we loaded up and went to Dallas to spend the day at Six Flags and yes it was the WHOLE day!! We opened the place up and closed it down! We had soooo much fun and the weather was PERFECT! I was so blessed to spend the day with 2 of my kids, my Sister, Brother and their kids. The kiddos had a BLAST and us big kiddos had our fair share of a good time too!! I wish I could share ALL the pictures I took but I think I took over 200 of them so I just picked out some of my favorites. And YES there are more pictures of Carlee Jo but it was her first time to go and since Clayton couldn't go I wanted to capture everything I could for him! ENJOY!!!

Carlee Jo soooo Excited!! It's her 1st time!

Blake with is ticket...even though he's been before he's excited too!

Brianna and Bradley...it was their 1st time too!!

We started out riding the Merry Go Round

Blake and Brianna coming off the Mini Mine Train

Carlee Jo wasn't too sure about this ride

Blake in front of the Marines Hummer

Carlee Jo when the "boot ride" started...she LOVED that ride

Antique Cars...Blake drove me

John Wesley drove Carlee Jo

Brianna drove JennaLee

And Jerrett drove Jennifer

We ended the night with the Merry go Round again!

Light display outside the gate...Bugs has ahold of Brianna

JennaLee didn't make it out of the Gate.....check out her sucker

This was too cute...Carlee Jo was falling asleep with this sucker but every few seconds she would wake up and get a lick!! LOL

We ate at Jack in the Box on the way home...home of 2 Tacos for 99 cents....Mmmm...I LOVE THEM!

Harts Bluff Open House

Blake performed in the annual Open House at Harts Bluff. The 5th graders have been learning how to play a "Recorder" all year. Mrs. Kessler does a GREAT job with these kids and they love music....they played songs like "Mary had a Little Lamb" and "Amazing Grace"......One thing that I LOVE about Harts Bluff is the fact that they still have God in their school!! That means ALOT these days!!

My Nephew Bradley is 2nd from Left & Blake is 3rd from Left

Blake is 4th from Left....he's playing the drums!

GOD IS GREAT!

1 good reason I am proud to be from Texas and I LOVE living out in the country!! GOD blesses us with some BEAUTIFUL seenary!!
