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...

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."

Just Because...

Yesterday Daniel surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of red roses...just because!:) And after having stayed up late last night, this morning when I woke up, there was a pot of Starbuck's coffee made with a sweet note! And if you know how much Daniel detests coffee (he calls it poison:), then you'll understand how big of a deal this is:) Thanks hun!
