Gingerbread Family Picnic

Bryce, Port, and Haynes

Gingerbread had their family picnic a few weeks ago.  We got to take all the kids to the Gingerbread playground eat a picnic and play.  Haynes was in heaven!  We had a great evening spending time with Port's friends and their families.

Rockin' Robin

Haynes, Ella and I went to Cochran's Music School Performance to watch our friend Meredith Moffitt and Preslee Love.  They both did a great job and looked absolutely adorable!  Haynes stood in the back screaming "Preslee Pink!"  She was definitely the cutest robin I've ever seen... We love you Press, God has big plans for you sweet girl!

SnOw CoNeS!

The snow cone stand is open!  I must admit this isn't our first stop, but we do love it!  The boys current favorite is Tiger's Blood (I think Kooper used to get this!)  We had a family night last night.  After having a picnic at the park, we went for snow cones!  Brian said, "I think this summer is going to be so much fun!"  Then said, "I think every year I will say that, because each stage seems to be even more fun!"  We love being with our kids, I couldn't think of anything more fun.  

Finals Praise Night

This is finals week for OU Students, so we put a praise night together for the Greek Students.  We have been talking to Port about hearing from the Lord and responding.  While we were worshipping he told me that he wanted to go pray for a few different people.  I can't think of anything that stirs my Spirit more than seeing my kids responding to Jesus.  Port Robert, God is using you to influence people's lives in a powerful way!    

"So is my word that goes out from my mouth;  It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."  Isaiah 55:11

Happy Mother's Day JuJu!

We celebrated Mother's Day at Jake and Kourtney's last Saturday.  It was a beautiful day and we had a great time!  The daddy's helped the kids make Mother's day cards with some fun paint kits.  We tried getting a fun cousin picture, hopefully Aunt Kourtney has a better picture!  We missed you Anna!  Happy Mother's Day JuJu!  We are super thankful for all you do for our family.  You have planted seeds not only in Brian, but me and our kids as well.  You will be seeing fruit for generations to come!  Praise Jesus!

Avery's Birthday!

Mama and Ella

We never take pictures of Mommy's anymore! :-)

Happy 6th Birthday Avery!

We went to Chandler to celebrate Avery's birthday with a carnival party.  Jeannie did a great job as always, we met in the Jacob Ladder's gym.  God has great plans for you Avery Grace, we are super grateful to be a part of your life.  We love you!

We also went to Henderson Hills last week to watch Mattie and Ellie perform in their church musical.  They did great!  Mattie had a major role in the production and was AWESOME!  (Port has told everyone that she waved at him from stage)  Ellie's beautiful smile is easy to spot, even in a crowd that big.  Girls we are so proud of you!  Thanks for including us!  

*On a funny note...Brian was out of town all week, so I took the boys to Edmond by myself.  I felt like I was holding things together pretty well, until I lost my phone at the church! (I proceeded to lose it 2 more times the next day)  Thanks Bob for being my knight and shining armor!  He tracked my phone down for me and brought it home.  I told Brian that I really felt loved that night.  I would usually only ask Brian or my dad to help me in that situation, and Bob really took care of me.  Thanks! 

Mother's Day at Gingerbread

Playtime with Brody and Lilly

Gingerbread Elves

Mother's Day at Gingerbread is really special.  When I got to Port's class he escorted me to my seat.  Then he introduced me to his class, "This is my mommy Sarah."  All the kids got to sing with Teacher Skye some really fun songs.  At the end Port surprised me with a daisy.  After he served me my snack and juice we went and played.  It was a really special morning and really sweet to see how hard they had been working.  I am so blessed by Port Robert, I could think of a better job than being his mommy!
