Today while driving to the grocery store...
Riley: Move Jackass!
Me: Riley! You shouldn't say that! That's a bad word!
Riley: Just you can say it Mommy?
Oops...Someone has a lead foot and a foul mouth apparently! I'll be watching that MUCH closer now!

The Game
Towards the end of the photo shoot, I was trying to get a good picture of the two kids together (their Build-A-Bear animals had to be in the pic too). Brenna thought it was hilarious to crawl off every time the girl snapped her picture. We finally got an awesome picture of both kids - except for my arm shoving Brenna back into the picture.

Peek-A-Boo
Brenna got her one year pictures taken today. Riley got his picture done in this same cube - she's suppose to stand up and peek out, but all she would do is poke her head out and laugh. My little gopher girl. More pics to come...:-)

That Amazing Thing Called Faith
You know how you always hear or read something just when you need to hear it? That has happened a lot to me ever since I started subscribing to the Pulse FM daily emails. This was today's. Thought you might need to hear this too. :-)
GO WITH THE FLOW
1st Thessalonians 3:7
“Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith.”
Stop being anxious about things that may never happen. If we really trust God, we don’t need a backup plan. Faith means that we have peace even when we don’t have all the answers…and guess what? We DON’T have all the answers.
Life will always be stressful if we are constantly trying to rearrange it. For example, yesterday I spent a couple of hours in a traffic jam going to the Elkhart County Fair. I can’t get upset about something like that-everybody is going to the fair, that’s just how it is.
But planning for obstacles inspired me to leave a little earlier, which keeps me from hurrying. Grow in wisdom, and place a high priority on keeping your peace in spite of any “traffic jams” you get into today.

To Do List for July 12 through 18
For this week:1. Clean out Brenna's Closet
2. Clean out Riley's closet
3. Swap treadmill and scrapbooking desk (they are trading rooms!)
4. Call the picture people and Olan Mills regarding pic appointments (I prefer the picture people, my mother in law wants Olan Mills - so I found coupons for both places!)
5. Measure closet for shelving
6. Clean fish tank (We are getting Riley some fish this week...)
I may add more things to the list, but this is all I can think of that I want to accomplish right now. It's been a long AND WONDERFUL weekend! Will post pics of Brenna's birthday party soon!
