When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Lily dance class

So we decided to put Lily in dance classes this year. I was pretty excited because she LOVES to dance and listen to music so I thought it would be perfect. We just got back from her first class and it was so fun! She was adorable and it was way cute to watch all these 3 year olds try to hop
and slide and do somersaults.. too much fun!

They just make me smile

This was Lily roasting a marshmallow... she didn't like the heat... lol


Lily isn't a huge fan of water splashing on her face, so she doesn't really like the slip and slide... a few weeks ago we were at my parent's house and they broke out the slip and slide, well this is how she went... towards the end she would just fall down at the end of the slip and slide... too funny!




Reese is such a sweetie and so smiley!

I just finished reading this book today. It was pretty interesting. I got sucked into it and read the second half in about a day. The strength of the characters were awesome to me. I loved learning about the southern way of life and really getting into the feelings of these women. There is some definite language, but it was set in the south... so really what else do you expect? The movie is coming out this week, and I'm debating on whether I want to see it or not, because if it taints the book, I'm not sure I want to go. But I think that the character Minny is amazing! Incredibly strong

Camping

Me playing horseshoes

Since people apparently are reading my blog, I guess I'll post... :) This past weekend we went camping with my brother and some of his in-laws. It was a lot of fun! We played a lot of horseshoes, painted rocks, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, celebrated my birthday, and even went hiking in a cave. It was a much needed camping adventure! The girls were filthy when we got home, which means they had a blast! It was great going with some family and laughing and just relaxing around the campfire. We hope to go camping a few more times before the summer ends!

So, I was just looking and no one really puts any comments... so let me know if you actually read the blog, because if no one is reading it, then I will probably stop posting...
