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...

Our trip to Sea World, San Antonio!

This past weekend, Daniel's company provided a fun family day at Sea World in San Antonio. The kids always love going there and it's a fun day for us too. It was super hot that day, but thank goodness for the shaded shows!! We got to start off the day with a yummy lunch at the Pavilion and they had prize drawings and special animals brought in for the kids to see, such as a giant lizard, a lemur, a baby alligator, and a baby flaming. We also got a visit from Shamu, who Christopher was SURE to stay away from (as you can see he's nowhere to be found in the picture:) Matthew petting the giant lizard:) The baby flamingo followed his trainer everywhere and would hide underneath his legs, like he does his mommy:) Aww.... The lemur... After lunch, we went on a "Behind the scenes" tour where we got to go visit several of the animals closer up and see what all goes on every day. It was a LOT of walking and very hot, but I think the kids enjoyed it. Here's a pictur...

Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus...Contemporary style

Yesterday I went to the store for a few things and ended up buying a Nativity set and displayed it in the house. Of course, it wasn't long before the kids found it and started playing with the pieces. Matthew ran around saying "Baby Jesus!...I love you baby Jesus!" and then Katherine wanted to pretend that Christopher was baby Jesus. So a few towels, headbands, and bathrobes later, this is the outcome:) Katherine praying over her newly born baby Jesus- Katherine and baby Jesus so excited and filled with joy- Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus in the stable (yes, with a Christmas tree in the background)- Luke 2:14 "And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth."
