What a trip. This trip was unlike so many others. We went down with Papaw and Granmaw, plus all of our cousins. We had a great time. Just a few odd occurances that are noteworthy. First odd thing is that we booked a condo that had a 500 person youth conference going on while we were there. I have never seen so many people in one pool or on the beach at one time. Craziness!!
2nd odd event: Our next door neighbors decided to smoke marijuana on their balcony everyday 2-3 times a day. Its always so great to have your 4 year old ask, "Oooh Mommy what is that smell?" Then while we were there Micheal Jackson died. Just another weird moment to add to our list. Overall is was a great trip. Britton, you had a blast playing in the ocean this year. Chesney you spent hours digging in the sand, burying yourself in the sand. Cade, you hated the ocean and the sand and shed many tears over your feet getting sandy. Of course you all loved the pool!! Thanks Granmaw and Papaw for another great beach trip!!

Pastor Cody preaches!
Mommies dear friend, Aunt Lisa, came for a visit. We have not been able to see her in a couple of years. She and her precious children came to spend the night with us. We had such a good time. We built a camp fire in the backyard and made smores while Pastor Cody and Pastor Britton delivered some very good messages. This all started at the dinner table when we were having bible time. Aunt Lisa says that Cody wants to be a Pastor when he grows up. She said that he likes to have the whole family gather around while he preaches a sermon. Aunt Lisa then says to Cody, "You know Cody, Uncle Keith is a real Pastor." Cody's reaction was so precious. I wish we had it on video. His jaw dropped and eyes popped wide open. He was truly amazed. He then told us that he wanted to preach us a message tonight. So we all gathered around the campfire and Pastor Cody preached to us about David and Goliath. Then Britton got up and preached about the disciples leaving their boat and following Jesus. They were both great messages. Britton then told Mommy that that made him a little nervous. You boys did a great job. Here's a clip of Pastor Cody preaching some more in the living room:

Licking the bowl!!
When I was a child I have vivid memories of standing under my Nanny in the kitchen awaiting "THE BOWL". I was only 4 or 5 and I remember that when she went in the kitchen I needed to be right their beside her. If I was the one in the kitchen with her then I would be the one to get to lick up the yummy leftovers in the bowl. I had a cousin and uncle my age that often were off playing and walked in to the house to find me, the youngest, licking the last bit of the batter out of the bowl. I snickered at my cleverness while they stomped off mad. A fond memory that I have, licking Nanny's bowls. Nanny was Gram's grandmother, my Great Grandmother. An altogether wonderful woman who loved Jesus! I'm thinking about those memories this week, because I walked into the kitchen this week to find this:
I had given the bowl to Chesney. After she tired of it, she left it on the table while I went to do some laundry. I returned to this little fellow picking up where big sis left off!! He saw her licking the bowl and decided he needed to give it a try!! Oh what wonderful memories this brings back to Mommy. How great it is to see my kids enjoying my creations!!! Life is good!!
