Brazos Bend State Park

Over Spring Break we went with my parents and Aunt Midge to Brazos Bend State Park.

We went in the Nature Center after we ate lunch and the boys got to pet a little alligator and a snake.

When we left the center, Jackson said "I'm so glad we came. This is so interesting." 

Headed out on our hike to look for alligators.

Brian ran up the tree and the boys followed suit!

 Stopping for pictures along the way!

We found some alligators, 29 in all on our hike!!

It was so cool to see them and a little freaky too!

On the top of the lookout tower!

More alligators!

Such a fun, beautiful day!!

Jackson's 8th Party

He loves his cake!

We all love Jackson!

I can't believe my little boy is 8!

Bowling party with 8 friends!!

Great group of boys! They had a blast bowling together!

It was a great day celebrating our 8 years old!

Master Bedroom Makeover

While Mel was here back in January, we decided to redo our Master bedroom.

We painted out dark brown walls a grey and added a ship lap wall behind our bed and painted it white.

We added valances that matched the bedding,

and went shopping for new decorations.

So much lighter and inviting!

Before and after!!

We love how it turned out!

Memorizing Scripture V4:6

Psalm 119:37, "Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in your way."

I chose this verse because I want to be more present with my boys and those that I am living life and not be consumed with Social Media. I love the phrase "revive me in your way". Jesus will give me new strength or energy and transform my life. I am going to put my phone away from the time I get home after school until the boys are in bed and be more conscious of my time on Social Media. I want to LIVE my life, be present, and revived by HIM!
