Long Weekend Getaway!

So we had our annual cabin trip for 2009 in Black Mountain, NC without children. The Beards and Harper's went with us..... we all had a wonderful time and the cabin was great. We played games, hung out in the hot tub, and went out to dinner. A real treat without the kiddos. The girls took a day in Asheville for good food and shopping. We were even able to get pedicures, which is always nice. Thanks to all the grandparents for taking such wonderful care of the girls for us. I am already looking forward to next year!

A little note: When I called to check on the girls one day Lula got on the phone and informed me that Mamaw had been wiping and spanking her all day long and I could hear Anthony's mom in the background saying that she had not touched one hair on her head! Lula told me that she was being mean and that she had to get off the phone. I talked to Mamaw and apparently Lu was mad at her because she got on to her for being mean to her sister. Kids say the craziest things.

On our way home from the cabin trip we stopped by my grandparents house to do some visiting.

Phoebe got to feed a baby calf but Lula was scared of it. Both the girls go to ride the four wheeler too. We had a great visit but did not get home until almost 10 pm. Below is a video of Lula falling asleep with a book on her face.

BTW I know I change my blog often but there is so much out there and I get bored easily. I do it so much that I have gotten pretty fast at it. Amy I know that we were talking about the picture with a background and I figured it out so let me know if need any help. Praise to God for a safe trip and that all families were reunited safely. Thanks again guys for a wonderful relaxing time!!

What a Beautiful Weekend....

Here is a picture of the kids having a picnic during mommy group. The weather has been marvelous.

Anthony took Lula to Home Depot on Saturday to pick up some stuff and they happen to have their kids workshop. So Lula got an apron and to build a race track. She got to put stickers on it when she got home.

Daddy enjoying the weather while the girls played.

Here is a picture of the girls wearing their sunglasses. Lula's bible verse for the past week was "Love One Another" John 13:34. Since she learned it so well for the entire week she was rewarded with a small gift. Phoebe is offically off the paci and we are thrilled! Now if we can just get her potty trained?! =) We are so proud of them both!

Had to Share....

So I know I just updated but I had to post what Lula said today. We are trying to talk about God often to the girls and teaching them scripture. So I pick Lu up from school and we get on a conversation about God. She ask me if He looks like us? So I tell her that God is a Spirit, He is always around us, and does not have a fleshly body like hers and mine. When I said this I pointed to my chest and Lula looks at me very seriously and says "What God doesn't have boobies?" It was too cute and I just had to share. Here I am thinking what a deep question and so I was trying to really put it on a level she can understand but apparently I did a poor job of getting it across to her.

I also wanted to ask any of you who read the blog about a book called The Children's Catechism. Have any of you ever heard, read, or know someone who has used this with their children? I was thinking about trying it out.

Below I posted two pictures of the girls. Phoebe jumping off the furniture onto her daddy's lap, her favorite thing to do. In the pic she is mid-air.

Lula started back to gymnastics this week and loves it. She is on the balance beem with her coach in this pic.
