Coop and other life ramblings...

Can't forget...

How Coop always picks me (or any other lady in his life) a beautiful flower (a Zexemenia to be exact!) before he gets in the car. He gets so excited and gives it away with the biggest smile on his face. Makes this mama heart swell.

How he calls his panda a "momay" and his paci a "popeye" I know that time is a thief and before we know it he will be big and spouting out all the words. He also has two favorite TV shows - "Momo"=Little Baby Bum and "Bo Bo Bo"=Bob The Builder. It's Coop's little language and we of course think it's ADORABLE. Ha!

His birthday came and went but we had a tractor theme birthday with the sweetest, most beautiful cookies by his Nana. This boy had lots of people at his party and even though it's a little crazy and it's such a sweet reminder how many people love our boy and pray for him as he grows.

His favorite words this week are "wrong way!" and "NOOO!" *insert mom eye roll*. Raising kiddos is like a never ending circle of grace - grace extended to grace received. Nothing better than living that out day in and day out as I love my boys and grow in my own life and relationship with Him.

Our new church, The Trails, has officially been planted and Jarratt and I served in Kids on the first official Sunday last week. We had 2nd-4th grade = 37 kids. It was crazy and mostly awesome. We are really excited to be a part of this church as they plant and grow and love on Celina and the people here that we love and cherish so so much. It's so comforting to be stepping out of our comfort zones a tad but so confident that God has us exactly where he had planned all along.

The past 10 days or so have been extremely tough at work but praying that God has control over the situation and guides us and keeps us. Praying that we are listening to Him and for his direction. Also praying for sunshine and good weather so we can sell some plants!( BUT REALLY - we are praying!!)

Thankful for our families and friends that help carry our load with life gets crazy and so thankful for Jarratt and Coop that are my reminder when life gets crazy that also life is a gift and they are God's daily gift to me. I am so thankful.
