Ice Cream

On Sunday, we went out for ice cream!
 

 The kiddos actually ended up getting the same thing!
 

Sarah finished her ice cream cone first, but Jackson was more than happy to share the rest of his!
 
We just love watching them being sweet to each other!

It Is Well

Right now, our church is doing a study on a book our Pastor wrote called "It Is Well."  Bryan and I are loving our Bible studies over the book.  To top it off, our current favorite songs are also the two versions of "It Is Well"--we sing it around the house and in the car all the time!  This morning, Bryan decided to wear his shirt that goes with the book to church, and I asked if he minded if I wore mine too!!  He said it's the only time we could ever match! 
 
It is well with my soul.

Halloween!

It's been a long week for us.  Jackson was really sick, then I got sick, and Bryan had some really long days.  So, we were all really excited about trick-or-treating last night!
 
I made a Halloween themed dinner.  Jackson kept saying everything was "spooky!"
 
Then, when my dad came over, he brought cupcakes!

This year, Sarah was a flapper girl and Jackson was a firefighter!
In this picture, Jackson's using his walkie-talkie to tell someone that he's one his way to put out the fire!

In this picture, Jackson's using his axe on the door!

Finally, one where there both smiling and almost looking at the camera!

J using the axe to ring our doorbell!


This one is my favorite!!

 How adorable is our little flapper girl?!

She kept twirling in her dress!

 
I let her wear my glitter flats--I thought they were perfect with her dress!
 
I am so grateful for my family!


My Dad always goes trick-or-treating with us, and it's so fun to have him along!

My Dad set up our candy since we were going to be trick-or-treating, and J just helped himself!
 
Our sweet next door neighbor is a firefighter, so I asked him if I could take Jackson's picture with him!  J loves Mr. Jordan!












Even firefighters have to hold hands when crossing the street!


Love!



Jackson loved blowing his firefighter whistle!

Then, like any good firefighter, he had to test out the fire hydrant!


Checking out his loot!




Sharing candy!

Being silly!

John 15:12

One of my favorite things that hangs on our walls is this Verse of the Week sign that I got after Christmas with a gift card from my dad.  It's in our kitchen where we all see it several times each day.  The kids love memorizing the verses, and we love watching them learn God's Word!
 
Yesterday, Jackson stood in front of the sign and said, "I wove you all.  John 15:12"  I couldn't believe how adorable it was!  Although he didn't recite it exactly as we've taught him, I think he completely nailed it!  Because Jesus does love us all!  One of my biggest joys as a Mommy is watching our children know and love Jesus, and this precious moment made my heart so happy!  I am so proud of sweet Jackson!
