All in a Weekend

Whew! What a weekend! After Keith finished his DWAP Bible study Saturday morning (a 6:00 a.m. Bible study at the house for some of the men in leadership at the church), we got the boys ready and headed to the Round Rock Gardens Nursery where we picked up a Mother's Day present for E. and began to hunt down the perfect trees for our backyard. Here are a couple of pics of the boys at the nursery.

We met E. and Papa at the house in time to load everyone back in the car to go to Kade's soccer game. This is what they got to see at their grandson's soccer game-
Kade doing front rolls on the soccer field! Yep, that's our son - performing gymnastics when he is supposed to be kicking the ball. What fun! The game wasn't until 11:00, so Kade, along with most of the other boys, really struggled to focus at all on the game. All Kade wanted was lunch..and to be able to jump in the mud puddles with his brother...

Kamden had so much fun in the mud until he realized how dirty his shoes had become. Then he wanted papa to hold him the rest of the game.

Kale got to enjoy a little one-on-one time with his E. at the game.

And Kade had a couple of other visitors at his game also - Douglas brought Kinsey to watch while Darin was at a baby shower.

After lunch at McDonald's, E. and I went to put the boys down for a nap while Keith and dad went to buy a couple of trees. Here is my strong man digging a huge hole for one of the trees. Our first surprise we had for dad was that he was going to have the blessing of helping Keith plant two trees in our backyard...


As if that wasn't enough surprise for one day, we surprised him again with our plans to grill out in our front yard in the evening with all of our neighbors. God was so gracious to us by providing the perfect weather and sweet fellowship with some of our neighbors. We had all of the families bring their own meat and a side and we provided the rest. We set up the bounce house for the kids and then showed Happy Feet on the garage door when it got dark enough outside. A couple of families from our Real Life Group brought stuff for the grill out and stayed to get to know our neighbors too. I just can't thank the Lord enough for the sweet relationships that were started last night and/or strengthened. I could go on and on, but instead I will stop and tell you individually about how we saw God's hand on the whole event. Here are some pics from the event.


Have a blessed week!
