ASTROS

Check out how close we were to on deck at the Astros game!! My mom scored some sweet tickets! (thanks mom!) In the first inning Landon was ready to go...we thought we'd get him cotton candy to sustain him....nope! doesn't like cotton candy (what kid doesn't like cotton candy!) By the 5th inning and a bag of peanuts he had given up the fight and let us enjoy the game. I hope this is not a sight into the future. Surely he will like baseball when he gets older and understands better :\

A Houston Icon - on FIRE!!

We went to the Astros game last night (pictures to come) and found out on our way home that Gallery Furniture was on fire! It was a 4-11 (which means like 20 fire trucks were there)! How sad -- everyone knows Mattress Mac and Gallery Furniture!! When we passed we couldn't see the fire because it was in the warehouse behind the showroom, but we could definately see the glow and the ladder truck shooting water on it.

Although very sad, those who know me know it made my week to get a little piece of the action!

Congratulations BUH!

Congratulations to Uncle BUH (aka Brandon) on his huge accomplishment of being a college graduate! RaRa and Mimi threw him a fun party with all the trimmings....see the sign they made -- very creative. The cake (yes, the apple and cafeteria tray are cakes) was made by Brandon's fiance's mom -- unbelievable! Much love and many high fives! We are so proud.

Summer has arrived!

Yikes! It's been a month since my last post! Oops :) I never got around to posting Easter pictures so here is one with Landon and his Thomas bubble blower. We also purchased a pool today....it is hot hot hot already!! Happy Summer....hope to have more posts soon xoxoxo

Isaac and Rebekah

I love this statement by Beth Moore regarding Isaac and Rebekah during the time they could not conceive. Although God promised Abraham (Isaac's father) he would bring forth MANY generations, sometimes we still question God if it is not in our timing....

"Had Isaac and Rebekah conceived the first year, they would have been tremendously less attentive to spiritual purpose and divine participation." Beth Moore

Through the hard time BJ and I have gone through in the past couple months, I have found this statement to be SO TRUE. If I never experienced losing our last baby and struggling through hard time, I KNOW I would have been TREMENDOUSLY less attentive to spiritual purpose and divine (GOD) participation. Praise God for our lessons and growth through the valleys in our lives!

Fallen Heros

You will never be forgotten. Our prayers are with your families.

Prayers for our Firefighters

Please pray for the families of the two firefighters who died Easter Sunday. One was a captain with 30 years experience and one a rookie, this being his first fire. BJ's very good buddy was at the fire as the Engine Operator. It is extremely sad for the families, crew, and all Houston Fire Fighters.

This hits very close to home. BJ will most likely promote to Captain in the next couple years and it was not long ago I remember watching him go through the training process. I can not imagine the difficulty these families are facing. Your prayers are needed. It is a dangerous job no matter how much experience and no matter how cautious you are.

Thank you to our firefighters for all you do.
