The past month has been extremely hectic for me, but I did want to post that Peyton got voted king of his class and then the whole month of October was dedicated to a Fall Festival fundraiser which allows parents to compete against one another as if their tiny children were adults and see who can raise the most money. Whoever then raises the most money, their children get crowned King/Queen of the whole Distric at a huge coronation ceremony at the Panther Pavillion. Yes, Peyton and his Queen Kylie won! I was a very proud mama! Here are some pictures of the ceremony.

Beth Moore

I stole these from my sweet adorable friend Rachel's blog! They are too funny not to share! I cannot tell the story as well as she can, but we ending up getting lost in a parking deck in downtown Mephis...not good I know, but we did find our way and we did get back safely. Rachel, you are the best van driver EVER!

Lazy Sunday

I wanted to post some pics of the Beth Moore conference (and my halloween decos). Beth Moore is very down to earth and makes learning about God easy and fun and also acknowledges the fact that everyone sins and although we should be ashamed and repent for our sins it's ok not to be perfect and God knows we are not. I have a hard time with this, I am a good pretender. But this is why he sent Jesus Christ to earth because we are sinners! I feel like I have made many, many bad decisions in my life, but I know God is love and God forgives. He forgives things that people do not think he should forgive. We can't comprehend his unbounding love. I really feel like I can get through some things that our family has been faced with, with the help of God. Thanks Antioch girls for such a great trip!! Some highlights of the lesson, based on Exodus 4, in God's self disclosure to Moses:

God never withdraws his love from us, but he does withdraw his blessings. Just like we should do with our disobedient children! God is scandalously forgiving and compassionate. There is no sin he will not forgive. We must heal the wounds we have and get over them. And have faith that he can move our mountains. He may not move it when we want him to, but he CAN. Have faith. Read Ezekial chapter 1 when you get a chance.

He heals the brokenhearted and he binds up thier wounds

Psalm 147:3

Happy Birthday Brad!!!

Brad and I had an awesome time in Dallas. His birthday was Sunday and I really think the best present that anyone could have ever given him were tickets in a box at the Jerry Jones stadium watching the HOGS! It was so awesome. There were drinks and food and tons of room with a great view. Not to mention the hogs kicked butt so it was a great game to watch. We went with Brad's boss and all the guys he works with. It was so much fun, we all went out to eat Friday night and went to the Buzz tailgating party Saturday. I really cannot remember the last time I had so much fun. I will post some pics so you can see for yourself. The guys we were with were so funny, I could not have laughed any harder. Brad got some great gifts from his family and mine when we got home and I know he isn't very good at calling or sending letters, but it really does mean a lot to him and he is very thankful that you guys thought of him on his birthday! He is gone all week and when he gets home Friday I will have already gone to Memphis for the Beth Moore conference. So my week will be lonely but that is ok. Happy Birthday Brad! I love you very much!
