Matt's favorite hat

Matt in the hat:)

Matt trying to do the Gig 'Em thumb.

So lately Matthew has been glued to Daniel's Aggie hat...I'm guessing because he sees that Daniel wears it quite often, especially recently when he's been working on his car. At least Matt's got the right idea with picking the right colored hat to wear! :) (Oh and it's football season too...Gig 'Em Ags!)
I just think it's so cute how he mimics his dad and even wears the hat just like Daniel. A lot of times Daniel will wear it backwards and of course, when Matt can snag the hat, he wears it backwards too.

Just like little boys look to their dads and try to mimic their every behavior, if only we could act the same with God, our Heavenly Father, in our lives. Constantly looking to the Father, watching, waiting, copying His perfection, and trying to be just like Him. Picture a life of surrender, full of grace, love, patience, truth...without sin. Someday my friends! Unfortunately, even when our behavior as parents isn't that great, our kids can still mimic it, good or bad. Thank goodness God's always perfect and we can look to Him as our example to mimic. If we follow God in every area of our lives, and our kids mimic us, then their lives will better reflect a truly perfect Father, rather than our imperfections. There's some motivation for ya~!

James 4:8 - "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Whew...what a week/end!

This past weekend my brother got married in Indiana and we had a great but exhausting time. Who would have ever thought that taking a weekend trip to see your brother get married would be so much fun but even more exhausting? Well this was the kids first airplane trip and they enjoyed it! We left Thursday evening after Daniel got home from work to drive to Houston so we could fly out from there on Friday morning. We ended up getting to Houston around 9:30 p.m. and didn't get to bed until 10:30 and we had to be up at 3:45 AM on Friday to catch our 6 a.m. flight. I couldn't sleep Thursday night for fear that I would miss the alarm clock so I tossed and turned all night. Plus we were all pretty excited so that made it even harder to sleep. I was thinking the kids would wake up pretty grouchy at 3:45 but to our amazement, they were up and excited and ready to go. They didn't even go back to sleep in the car! When we got to the airport, I realized we had a few pitied eyes looki...

6 years...

So it's January 19th...our anniversary! I can't believe we've been married for six years. In some ways it seems like we've been married such a loooonngg time, but in other ways it feels like we're still dating. Nevertheless, the past 6 years have been great, even as I remember the challenges we've faced together. I think they've just made us stronger. I can honestly say that after 6 years, we have never had a fight where both of us were angry and yelling at each other...like the movies. Thank the Lord! There may have been times where we weren't just soo lovey dovey with each other, or may have said things that weren't nice, but for some reason we seem to get over it quickly and move on. I'm thankful for Daniel and how loving he is towards me and his consistency in showing love to me no matter what. After 6 years, 3 kids, 4 apartments, 1 house, 1 dog, and 3 cities later, I'm so blessed to have Daniel as my husband!
