A New Creation

Mason says:
"In June, I went to church one Sunday morning. At church we were talking about asking Jesus in your heart like Zacchaeus did. At the end, my pastor called me over and he told me that he'll pray for me whenever I wanted. When I came home I told my mom about this and she said that we could pray together after lunch. Daddy and Mommy and me talked about it and after that we prayed and I prayed and I asked Jesus into my heart. On July 3rd I got baptised. My Uncle Kyle did it and I did it at Lake Pflugerville. What I liked about it is that it showed people that I asked Jesus into my heart."


It was a beautiful night! The sky was amazing with a beautiful sunset and the lake was peaceful. Mason had fun wearing his swim shorts to be baptised! He was very excited to say that his Savior is: "Jesus!" He said it loud and clear! We were thankful for Uncle Kyle to be a part of this special time for Mason. It was a joy to talk to Mason about following Jesus and to see him learn about how asking Jesus to be in your heart and life is something you choose daily. He has such a sweet 6-year-old heart for the Lord!

Fun at 4 months!

What a blessing this little guy is!

He is a growing boy with lots of smiles and giggles and lots of loving from his big brothers!

Favorite Things: Adventure Day!

I love adventure days! Learning new things and doing new things is a sweet part of life with kiddos. I wanted to share some pictures from one of our recent "Adventure Days!"

We started the morning on a hot air balloon chase...





Then picked raspberries and dug up potatoes at a farm...

The next day we joined some friends for a crawfish boil...

This was a fun, HOT, summery weekend and we loved every minute of it!

Milestones...

The month of May brought some fun milestones around our house...

Rylan's smiles! He started smiling and hasn't stopped since!

Mason's kinder graduation! This handsome boy is now a 1st grader!

Haden's scooter! Haden turned 2 and got his very own Buzz and Woody scooter and helmet. He is officially a big boy!

The Privacy Bandwagon

Hello blog readers!



I have decided to jump on the privacy bandwagon! In order for our readers to read our private blog, you will have to send us your email address (or post it as a comment to this post) and request that we add you to our "readers list". To then access the blog, you will have to sign in using the email address that you send to us. It will require a little more effort on behalf of our readers, but we hope you will still follow our family adventures!



Also, if you want to be reminded of blog posts, here's an idea:
If you have a google account, you can easily create a google reader account. There you can subscribe to blogs by clicking the add a subscription button at the top left of the page. Enter the url of the website or blog you want to subscribe to and click add. That way, whenever you log into your google reader account, it will tell you how many unread posts you have and easily link you to a page where you can view them. I found this information online, hopefully it might be beneficial to you if you want it.

Thanks for being patient with us! I am looking forward to posting some of our latest "Smiths and Smiles" moments!
