Fun, Food, and Family!

We had a great weekend with my brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their kids. We grilled out chicken that was cooked by my brother-in-law that was to die for!!! He grills a lot and tries all kinds of recipes, and he hit this one on the head!!! It was DELICIOUS!!!

We took the kids to play in some giant water sprinklers. Then went to see some fireworks with them. This was Tyler's first time. It was SO much fun watching him. He was jumping up and down and smiling the whole time. Not scared at all!! I thought that he would be scared, but he proved me wrong!!! We did not get home until about 12.30 a.m. but it was worth it. They were the best fireworks that I have ever seen in my whole life!

I already had our clothes ironed and the bags packed for the weekend when we left the night before for fireworks. So we were ready to go. We left for our weekend meetings and the first journey in our new vehicle on Saturday afternoon.

We had good meetings and the Lord was good to us in all kinds of ways. As HE always is. It is the little things that the Lord does that keeps us going!!!

Today ( Monday) was once again laundry day, grocery shopping and writing out the bills. Plus some CD jobs. I saved another $21.00 in my coupons. I am the coupon queen. If you know me this is my hobby and "love to do "chore on Sundays with the Sunday paper. I am so known for this that my mom mails here coupon clippings to me from her Sunday paper as well. What I really love is when my coupons are so good that the store should actually owe me money. Like today I needed some shaving gel, I had a coupon for a dollar off and our Kroger's doubles a $1.00. It was on sale for $1.89 and so in reality they owed me 11 cents!!

Tomorrow is Cd day. I have 350 Cd's to do and I need to mow the yard. I actually did not get to it at all last week because of all the rain. So this week it is ready to be mowed. I am sure that I will have a shadow again (Tyler). He is my mowing buddy.

I hope that you all had a good weekend and I hope that you have a good week. My parents are coming in to stay a week with us next week and I cannot wait!! We have things all planned out to do with them if the weather permits. And I even have my meals planned out. A little something about me is that I like to be organized and have things all planned out. I am all ready for them to come. Please pray that they have safety her. It is a 8 hour drive and with dads health ( legs) it is hard for him to drive and sit for a long time. So mom has to drive a lot more than the past.

Thank you for your continued support to us and your letters of encouragement. It means tons to us!! May the Lord bless you in your work for Him. Let's all strive to do something this week to make him proud!!! I know that I sure am going to TRY. Have a good one!
