Backyard fun

Kiddie Pool has been a highlight of the summer! The girls love to play in it. The other day Kevin got a new sprinkler for the backyard and Ella has had lots of fun playing with it!

Liv got a Scooter

Kevin decided it was time for Liv to have a scooter! She was so excited to ride it!

This was a close one but she didn't fall! She stood up and said, "I'm okay"

Ella was ready to show her all her tricks and even ready to race her. Liv agreed to the race but didn't wait for Ella to say go - she just took off which Ella declared, "wasn't fair".

Okay I haven't been blogging for a while now. Word press is much more sophisticated than blogger but not so user friendly. For me right now the only way I am going to blog is if it is easy and convenient.

Thinking of switching back to blogger -

Switching to Wordpress

Hey Everyone, I am finally switching to wordpress.com it is much better than blogger and that is were Kevin's blog is and he is tired of me whining about blogger. So I hope you follow me over there and check it out!!!

Pool Time

Today we went to the pool with Hilary. The girls were really good!! We had fun and they were so cute! Hilary gave them a popsicle - Of course Liv loved hers but Ella's got melted because she was too busy swimming! Ella was a little fish and swam from one end of the pool to the other and jumped in and had a blast. Liv played on the stairs and tried to stay out of Ella's splash zone but she definitely had a splash zone of her own. Liv loved kicking.  Can't wait to go back!

Sleepy Girl

So tonight we had a leadership meeting and we were out past Liv's bed time. When we got home I started getting thier PJ's on then Liv disappeared. So I continued getting things ready for bed for them and a little while later I realized I was ready for bed but no Livia. So here is what I found in the livingroom.  I actually think she would of fallen asleep there if I hadn't found her. 

She was excited to see me though and ready for the camera! So cute!

Just Sayin

Okay this has been floating around in my head for a while so I'll share it with you and hope it helps. I follow Bobbie Houston on twitter. She is the wife of Hillsong Pastor Brian Houston. Anyway one day she twittered - "heart is in the right place but insecurities abound" 

That totally described someone that I had been frustrated with and it made it so much easier to forgive and move on because I truly believe that person's heart was in the right place. 

It also describes me and so many people I know. Sometimes we let our insecurities get the best of us and do or say things we normally wouldn't. 

Kevin is really good at believing the best of people - I am the more skeptical one. When I can see straight through someone's facade I just think they are a fraud instead of seeing them for what they are - insecure. 

This has really helped me keep a clear head about things and situations and made it much easier to deal with people that are just trying their best.
