Sunday Morning Pics

In a rare moment of sanity before church,  I thought I would snap some pictures...

Rebels without a Cause

This picture cracks me up--it looks like Isaac has some seriously long arms!

Scratching and Clawing

 Maybe I'm the only one who scratches and claws her way to church every Sunday after running after 4 kids and repeating the words, "get your shoes on"  "brush your teeth" "please quit yelling", "get in the car"  about 20 times each.  By the time we actually do pile into the car-- and I have run back into the house at least 3 times to gather things I have forgotten,  I feel so frazzled  it's hard to remember what I am actually doing all this for.

Today as I was teaching the Laurel class (Young women ages 16-18) I was reassured.  Today's lesson was on the Word of God as a standard.  I felt the strong assurance that in these very troubled times, as values continue to shift- the words contained in the scriptures and the words of the living prophet are a constant.   The truths are so simple, but truth always has power!   And truth always equals freedom.   I felt profoundly grateful for the opportunity to teach these beautiful young women.   What greater call can there be, then teaching those who will be the stewards of the next  generation?

So I will HAPPILY scratch and claw my way to church... 

Evidence of a long day at work...

My shoes after a night on the Trauma Surgery service.  

Can anyone spare a dollar for the new shoe fund? 

Good Old Fashioned Texas Fun

This year, our friends introduced us to a creek in Salado that is just deep enough to float a tube down, but not so fast you get swept away. The boys have had a great time this summer floating around on tubes, catching minnows and wading in the water. Here are some pictures we took earlier this summer.

Isabella, trying to catch a parasite.

Jackson, just relaxing with his friend Merrill.

Mason taking in the view.

Isaac, as always, living life to the fullest.
