Capture the Moment- February Part III

 

Wrapping up the month of February...

Lincoln did a research project on watches.

Proud of my swimmer, who not only works hard in the water but is always showing sportsmanship and making friends with swimmers from other teams.

Tried out Hebrews coffee while Jackson was warming up.

Love being his timer!

That smile after you rock your 500 Free. Last meet as a 12 year old.

Dinner with friends!

Capture the Moment- January Part III

Lunch after church

The boys were busy making a playground for their hamsters!

Jackson had his first solo and ensemble performance. His solo caused many tears in preparation, but his determination and hard work paid off. He scored a 1 on his solo and ensemble, and earned two gold medals!

First official date night of 2022!

Date night led us to tattoo shop! 

Before Brian went back for open heart surgery last year, I had him write “love you forever”, so if he didn’t make it through I could get a tattoo with his handwriting. Thankfully he is still here, but I have been wanting to get one.
My tattoo shows God’s faithfulness to us. Above Brian’s “love you forever” are mountains. These mountains represent that God is the God of the mountains and the valleys. The mountains praise Him, and so will I. Also, we love to hike and camp as a family.
🏔
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:8‬ ‭
The rainbow above the mountains represents God’s promises, joy, and the hope we have in Him. No matter the circumstances or how I am feeling, God’s love and promises remain steadfast.
“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.” 2 Corinthians 1:20
Brian also got a tattoo of "love you forever" in my handwriting.

And in true God fashion, He orchestrated one of my good friends to be at the exact tattoo shop at the exact time getting a special tattoo as well!

Just some praise and worship at home!
