Capturing the Memories of Their Youth

Boy, do my children bring joy to my soul. Tonite we had a family night, showing-off and singing our favorite songs. Tayah and Tate are fabulous at putting on "shows" for others to enjoy. I rarely video these priceless great times. So I hope you enjoy.



Tate used his birthday $$ to buy this new guitar. He wants to learn to play like his grandpa Ron. His new thing when we are listening to the radio is, "Mom, I wrote this on my guitar...don't you like it...it's great, huh." lol I love it!! He is quite a character. Here's one Tate personally wrote...(from the heart and mind of a child).



Sweet Tess unforunate had to participate from her bed. The consequences of disobedience. No fun. For her or me. Sometimes it's so hard to stick to it, when they change their attitude, yet you already told them "no" (in this case it was staying in her room). Follow thru can be such a bummer, yet I am told it WILL pay off in the end. So I do it, because I love them!!! Anyways, I did go into her room and capture this precious moment of her sharing some of her bible verses, or should I say Tate's verses that he's memorized all year and practiced...So Tess too has them all memorized. I love it. Is there anything greater than the sound of our children quoting God's Word? Not to me. I guess the next best thing is to see those words stick, and become part of their actions in the way they live. Okay, it's late and I am beginning to ramble. ENJOY!

Tessa video will not upload, so I will try again on another post.

Hi Stacie! It is Kim. I found your blog through Ashley's I think. Your kids are just precious. I especially loved Tate's song about God (and Satan). Keep training them up in the way they should go! :) I just started a blog recently if you want to check it out: l2k2.blogspot.com Have a good day!

Girlfriend - as always you are such an inspiration! You remind me to find joy and I needed that tonight when I am physically, mentally and emotionally wasted and find myself unfairly taking it out on my kiddos. Thanks for the encouragement - love you!
