This Weekend Was A Blast!

 

We had a really good weekend!

 

A good weekend was much needed after the week that we had.  We needed some mom and son time and a chance to just relax and have some fun.

 

We went to play at a nearby park and the boys made some friends.

 The boys were so sweaty by the time we left..even though it was like 72 degrees.

 We celebrated DJ's 29th birthday by making him some homemade gifts.

We also bought him Madden 13 for PS3 which he loved and still plays everynight.

(Boys and their toys, right?)

 My little sweetie Blaze picked up this notebook for me for church.

He has such a kind and giving heart.

 We had a full day Saturday of Shopping and Visiting with friends. 

We stopped by Chick Fil A first for some lunch and to play a little...

 Blaze's friend Joslyn (her dad writes the blog Diggin In With Tony for Potters House Church) invited him and his little brother to a party at a gymnastics place in Knoxville.

I will admit that the boys almost didn't go because they thought it would be alot of girls and maybe a little tumbling or something corny (his words not mine)

BUT THEY HAD A BLAST!!!

 The place was FULL of kids and stuff for them to bounce and jump on.

Blaze actually decided he wants to have his party there too after seeing all the excitement.

It came at a good time because we have been talking about moving to that area (about thirty minutes from where we live now) and this place was just five minutes down the road.

 We have started going to a church (mainly online for now) that is about ten miles from DJ's work so while we were in the area, we decided to let the boys try the FP Kids program out and check out a Saturday night sermon - and it was amazing!  We have been trying so hard to find a church to fit the needs of our growing faith and we have felt at times that we would just never fit in anywhere.

Sometimes, you just walk into a church and feel that they are all friends and have grown up together and there is just no room for one more person, but as you can see by the photo below, there is plenty of room there to grow in alot of ways .. not just physically as you can see by the large building but also in your family and in your faith.  If God gives us another child we would know that they would be well taken care of during our services and the kids program is also top notch. 

I plan to do a full blog about the church in the near future for those that are in the area and would like to know more about why we chose this church and what we see going on in the future.

 

I also wanted to say that I took a break from the thirty day challenge after we finished on Sunday.  I will be picking it back up tommorrow with Day Four and the next blog post above will be about the next five or so days in case you are keeping along in your own journey -

and if you are, i'd like to hear from you!

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!!

Oh, and GO TITANS!!!!!
