Jon's family is a huge gaggle. His mom is one of 8 children. Most of them have at least 3 children, so Jon has alot of first cousins. Most of his cousins have 2 children, so the family tree keeps growing more branches. Today, the Jone's clan participated in a softball tournament in Amber for a fundraiser. After winning the first game and losing the next 2, they all went to eat at Mazzios Pizza and then cam to our house to swim.

Drive in movie

learning....

Got it!

Jon took Price to see Toy Story 3 at the drive-in. I packed popcorn, grapes, and string cheese for snacks so my men could munch during the show. While waiting for the movie, Price learned how to do the "Texas stinks" sign that all Sooner Born children learn to do. It did rain a little, but they sat in the cab of the truck and had a great time! Yay for good summer fun!

Adoration!!

Maggie Beth LOVES her big brother! He will simply walk into the room and she grins ear to ear!! When he plays, she looks at him like he is the most amazing thing she has ever seen. It is complete adoration!...and so stink'n sweet to see the love the have for each other! These pics were taken while she was watching her "bubby."

Maggie Beth's first dip in the lake!

Poppy's First Mate

Over the weekend, we went to the lake with our extended family! It was a blast!!!! My mom, aunt Tam and aunt Abby; Abby's boyfriend Barry, Evva, Clint, Keelyn and Bryce. Bridget, Caleb, Joshua, Isaac and Micaiah. My dad, me Price and Maggie Beth. My mom's cousin from North Dakota, Roger, his wife Chris and their 4 children; Matthew, Aubrey, Alexa and Jaden. 11 children total! We went out on the boat, swam in the lake, and played on Jet Skiis. After Price had his first ride on the Jet Ski, he said "Mom, that was SO fun! I have to get one of those!" We laughed and had a great time! Precious memories were made this weekend. So fun!!! : )

Proverbs 22:6

"Teach your children to choose the right path and when they are older, they will remain upon it." Proverbs 22:6.

This scripture has been like a broken record in my head the last month or so; I can't escape it! I think about it, chew on it and pray it for myself as a Momma leading innocent little lambs. I have asked God what to do with it. How does He want me to apply it? We have created a habit of having a devotion in the morning over breakfast (about 5 minutes) and Price recites several memory verses and prays most nights before he goes to sleep. I kept feeling though that there should be a deeper level of learning and understanding for Price. He is capable. He has a child's heart. He is sensitive to things concerning God. As a result, I have put together a little study of the Bible in chronological order. Each day has a Bible story, activity and scripture. We will continue the scripture memory and I am on a hunt for a new devotion to start with the new school year. More than anything, I pray God blesses this time we share together in the Bible. I pray He captures my son's heart with his Holy Word, and this begins the start of a lifelong hunger and thirst know his heavenly Father. I pray Price grows in wisdom and that his heart longs to be like Jesus!
