School

These three hold my heart! 
And its the only back to school picture I have! 
I know it is almost November! 
Here they are, 
Avarie: 4th Grade
TJ: 6th Grade
Lylah: Kindergarten

A Homeschool Mom's Dream...

Our sweet husbands allowed us the opportunity to go away for a couple days.  My mom opened up her place in Leavenworth and we spent a couple days preparing our school year.  These ladies are such sweet blessings to me and I am thankful that I was able to spend the couple days working with them on our year. 

A true fan

TJ had his barber (papa) put a 12 in his hair.  
He was thrilled....

Success School 2014

We had the privilege of attending Success School at Cowboy Stadium in Dallas again.  We love School and the connections we make.  It was great to see our team as well that lives far away.  Again, super blessed to be part of this company.

 We love the relationships that get to develop through these events. 
 For the leadership team, Advocare rented our the Fort Worth Zoo and we spent the evening eating, listening to music and enjoying the zoo.  

Friends...

As part of her birthday extravaganza, Avarie had both of her closest friends in for a sleep-over.  Chloe and Ella are her best buddies.  I pray these girls love the Lord, encourage each other and grow to be women who lift each other up...

Family Birthday

For her family party she decided she wanted to go to El Porton...so she could wear the hat! 





Precious girl...

Avarie Is 9!

Avarie turned 9 August 20! 
I honestly cannot believe she is 9 years old! 
It has just flown by.  She is becoming such a sweet young lady.  As evidenced by her birthday party. Avarie has such a tender heart and decided she wanted to celebrate her birthday by making cupcakes with her friends.  But Avarie wanted to do something with the cupcakes. So she asked if we could take them to a shelter.  A way to bless others.  I found a place to take them and we prayed that the little gesture would be a sweet encouragement to those that received them.  


Her friends blessed her with some fun gifts. 
All right up her alley!

 Happy birthday sweet girl! 
Sweet Avarie Rae, 
You are such a sweet blessing to our family. You are growing so quickly and becoming such a beautiful girl.  I pray that as the years go on you choose good things, choose sweet friends and I pray you seek the Lord as you move through life.  You are precious to me and I am so so thankful to be your mama.  I love you!
