Happy 6th Birthday, Katherine!

We had fun celebrating Katherine's birthday yesterday and I can't believe she's already 6 years old! Time flies by so quickly and you never really believe it when people tell you until they're all grown up.

Katherine has been and is such a joy to our family. Sometimes I wonder if she's an angel just by how mature she responds to things, how unselfish she is, and how genuinely she cares for other people. She is always sharing things unselfishly with her brothers, sharing the Gospel with her friend down the street, and always has a heart of obedience towards us. I must admit that she has been an easy child and a wonderful girl who loves the Lord. We are blessed!

Here are a few pictures from her family birthday celebration on Saturday. I tried to make a Barbie cake, which wasn't as hard as I thought! I was actually really pleased with it, but wish I would have bought the candy letters for the Happy Birthday part because trying to handwrite with icing on a vertical cake was tough! But I think it turned out ok...

Thanks to everyone for all the fun toys, books, cards, and presents!


She wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese this year and had lots of fun. There were a lot of new rides and a horse with animated screen that you could ride and watch yourself on a TV in front of you as you pulled on the reigns. She liked that as well as the flying seat that you pedal on to take yourself spinning to the top. We had originally planned to take Katherine to the Barnum and Bailey Circus for her birthday but she said she'd rather go to Chuck E Cheese instead. I'm sure she'll outgrow that place soon, but seemed to have fun this year! Sorry no pics from there.

She received lots of fun toys and several digital pet games that I'm still trying to figure out how to play but she seems to have gotten the hang of them. My, how technological kids are these days! Thanks to everyone for all the love and kindness you show Katherine! May you be blessed!

Psalm 127:3 (NASB) - "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. "

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."
