I haven't had anything to blog about recently. Well actually we had an awesome week end.. but I can't seem to get my pictures on here at the moment. So.. that will be an extremely late post whenever I get around to it.

Anyway, I've been on youtube looking up kids praise and worship songs. Hillsong has an amazing kids worship team. (Of coarse that doesn't surprise me one bit!) Click here to hear them. I do need to find a good CD though. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

That's all for now!!

Dinner and a night with Yanni Voices.

My Dad treated Jenna, Tony and I to a wonderful dinner and a "Yanni Voices" concert. It was lots of fun. I wouldn't think Yanni would be my type of music.. but it was a great show.. and the most incredibly talented people!! More pictures of the show to come. Thanks Dad!

Psalm 91

¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

² I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

³ Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹ If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

¹⁰ then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

¹⁵ He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

After Ezra was born my Mom suggested that I pray this pray of protection over him. Each day before his nap I rock with him and proclaim this over his life. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember. I am not one to quickly memorize scripture- but let me tell you after only a few days of saying this prayer it became a part of me. Psalm 91 has helped me through times of fear. It is so powerful. The name of the Lord really is a strong tower. I hope that by hearing this prayer daily, it will go deep into Ezra's heart and will help him lean on the Lord.

beautiful.

I want one in my home!

They are out to get us!!

Yesterday I took a quick little trip to Ross. I had Ezra with me and he actually did pretty well. We had a typical shopping experience. After browsing around for 30 minutes or so, I took the cart up to the check out counter. Nothing abnormal there. The man was nice - chatted with me about the tornado warnings - I asked there return policy - paid and was done. So the sliding doors open wide, and I make an effort to push my cart with my 35 lb. (plus some) child, and two purchases through the door way. UGH..stuck. Ok, I didn't push hard enough ..this is a little embarrassing I thought. So I stuck my foot down on the bottom of the cart as I tried to push and lift it over whatever we had got caught on. No luck.. the cart didn't budge and it came back and hit my shin. Ouch. Right then the lady said in her southern drawl "Ma'am, the buggies don't go outside." I was struck by confusion. What?? Since when does a cart (known in the south as a BUUUUGIE) not go outside? It can't physically go outside or they don't want it out there?? She obviously saw my confusion and she continued "The wheels lock up." I don't have much to say except a very confused "WHAT????" Has anyone heard of this before.. because this is new to me.

Easter Bunny

Ezra was totally into the Easter Bunny this year. I thought he might freak out .. but he was so excited. When he spotted him walking down the mall up to the 'photo spot' he went crazy.. as you can see in the pictures. I think once he got in his lap he got a little shy. When he was done and we were walking away he kept mumbling in a sad voice "bunny, bunny".

That night when he went to bed I made the mistake of telling him a story about the Easter Bunny. He totally cried and cried when I was done and wouldn't sleep. I heard him in his crib crying "Bunnnny, Bunnnnnnnnny". Love that kid.

The Bunny's been spotted.

Up close and personal.

super awesome show--

The Hanson show was great. As we were in line waiting for the doors to open all three of them walked a foot away from us into the club. The show was an 'in the round' style. Each song writer takes a turn and plays a song..so it was really intimate. They performed with three other people. It was great. We sat on the floor right in front of the stage.

Jenna and me waiting for the doors to open

guess who I'm hanging with tonight?!

Ike, Tay and Zac HANSON!!!

Ok, maybe not exactly 'HANGING' with.. but I will do my best. ;) It was announced TODAY that Hanson will be at tin pan south TONIGHT! My sister and I are totally hitting it up. What an amazing surprise!

We love our boys! Now.. just help us figure out how we're going to get my ALMOST 21 sister into a 21+ show. ;) I just hope we don't spend the night in jail for these guys. Haha. Just kidddding.

Tornado watch mama and two little boys...

We've been under tornado warnings today. I took the two little boys to cover in the tub. What a scary thing! The news doesn't help at all either. Thankfully we've got Jesus on our side.. and the warning is over for us this time. I'm looking out the window right now and the rain is pouring down so hard it looks like a river flowing down my street. The type of rain where you'd be soaking wet after stepping out for only a split second. They are evacuating some homes in Spring Hill due to flooding. These are the days I appreciate not having to leave my home to go to work.
