Random pics from the Fall, fun memories.

Here are some random and sweet memories in the Fall.
I just love what pictures capture....like this first one.
The joy on Joy's face--priceless.


 best buddies.
 Time with Jesus by the fire, headphones on, worship music cranked up usually too loud in their ears...
I always have to turn them down. 
 Chris, a fire and his littles.  His favorite.
 Daddy dancing with his little lady.

 This night was fun, we had a potluck with smores in our cul-da-dack with the neighbors on our street.  
Love the people of Greenbriar Court.
 The 3 musketeers in their football outfits at their fall party!


Joy and Breece, best buddies.  So thankful to live next door to our best friends.
God is so kind.


Papa Joe came from Scottland to visit, we had such precious family time with him and what a blessing to have him preach and prophesy to our church.  So grateful for this spiritual Father.
Papa Joe and Brooks. Best friends. couldn't separate the two.


Papa Joe had to work a bit to win Joy's heart.... the Coke definitely did it!




We love visits to see Mimi.  She is the sweetest woman on the planet. 
Joy loves her great grandmother.


 Papa Joe praying and prophesying over some OU football players. 
They got rocked, so awesome!




Pastor Giles from London came with  his darling wife to stay with us.
Only after a few days I was changed forever, discipled and learned so much.
thankful.
 This was such a special day....
Beau captured this on my phone as he was holding it.  This was after school, election day actually, on the playground.  The line was so long to vote I had to come back.  This boy Cameron is in Beau's 3rd grade class, he has been so hungry for God.  The first time I looked in this boy's eyes I could hardly keep for tearing up....he carries the hear of Jesus, so sensitive to the things of the Spirit.  You just could see God's hand all over him.  We shared the beautiful story of the  cross and how much Jesus loved him...he was so excited to pray with us.  This was when he prayed, saying yes to Jesus.  The best part was his reaction when we told him heaven was throwing a party for him.  He was blown away.  He has continued to grow in the Lord this year, loves to pray and has literally read hundreds of pages of his bible already.  I asked him the other day what  has changed since he met Jesus and has a new best friend in the Holy Spirit...he said "well, I play a lot less video games."  Ha, love it!!! Yeah God!!!




the leaves...gotta love fall leaves.


These two has such a special relationship, love watching them love one another.

 This day was just fun, remember getting out so far on our walk we barely made it back. 
Lesson learned: never let a 3 year old ride his bike a long way...you'll end up carrying the bike back :)
 These treasured friends came in from Waco to stay for the weekend.  JR and Brittany Baker are great leaders...world changers!


Samuel Burr is part of our fam.  We call him Uncle Samuel and Joy is just slightly in love with him.
He leave to change the world overseas in a few weeks...oh how we will miss him!!

  Just a little golf cart ride with some friends.

 Joy is loves her cousin Sam.  
When he stayed the night with us she just wanted to sit on his lap with her baby doll.  

Fall & Flag Football!

Well, the day finally came...Nate was actually getting to play football, and on a team!
Not only that but had the greatest coaches ever--His Daddy and who he calls uncle Blake.
It was a sweet season and Nate fell more in love with the game, the ball, and counting the days until next season.




 Most all the games were FREEZING! 
Joy pressed through while snuggling with her Heather.

 Pops, a faithful fan.

Heading out for a weekend to Waco with my Beau bear,

First stop, an evening of painting at the beautiful Combs family land.
It was a magical evening, we made such sweet memories.

This was Beau's amazing painting he did with Samuel Burr.
We got to go visit Uncle Greggy, my incredible baby brother at his classroom in Waco.
Beau had so much fun showing off his art to Greg's art class he teaches.
 We has a quick visit with the one and only Oak Hopkins on the way out of town. 
He and Beau did some shirtless painting. 
sweet cousins.

This was a fun treat on our way home, a double rainbow.
So thankful for my time with my oldest son, my precious boy who carries 
the creativity of heaven with him.
