Wednesday's Window to our World

So I think that I am going to start updating our blog every Wednesday. I hope that it will be a good way to keep me accountable to updating more often. So...

We took another job. Jonathan is going to be the college minister at Emmanuel Baptist Churh as well as work at the BCM. We have really enjoyed the church thus far and we are looking forward to students coming back to school so that college ministry can really get going.=)
My sister and nieces came to visit last week. They came in on Wednesday and left on Sunday. We had an amazing time. We swam, visited the farm, went hiking, and hung out. It was so great. I love and miss them so much!!
I also had a tooth pulled yesterday, Tuesday. It was an experience. I HATE the dentist and when I say HATE I mean HATE the dentist. Needless to say I am glad it is over and so thankful for "happy drugs" that help make the experience not so bad!!=)

Jackson's First Haircut!!=(

Jackson's first haircut was harder than we thought. He needed a haircut so badly! I guess the hard part was that there is no turning back! Now he is a little boy!!

1807.4 miles later....

We FINALLY made it back to Louisiana. After visiting Flintstone, we decided to take a trip to KY as well. We celebrated the 4th with our KY family. It was so much fun! So after 1800 + miles we are finally home... Not so sure we want to travel any time soon....=)

and yet another day...

Day 6- Today was a good day. Aimee, Shelby, Regan, Jonathan, Jackson and I went to visit Gran. It was so good to see her. She is almost 92 and we always enjoy any time we get to spend with her. We then went to Chic-Fil-A where Jackson and the girls played on the playground.  After that we all took naps. Then we went swimming. Jackson is loving the pool. Today he jumped off the diving board. Well, actually dropped off the diving board. But he loved it!! After swimming  we ate BBQ as a family. It was good times!!

(Pictures will come soon=))

surprise!!

Day 5- We left the beach today and decided to come to Flintstone for a few days.  We told no one that we were coming so everyone was so totally surprised!  Pictures will come soon...

vacation continued yet still....

Day 4- Today we spent the morning on the beach and at the pool, took naps, did more shopping, ate at the Mellow Mushroom, and ate some YUMMY gelato.




Jackson playing on the beach. I think he would stay there all day!

Day 3- Today was similar to yesterday. We hung out on the beach and pool this morning, napped in the afternoon while Jonathan and Boyd played golf, ate at Lambert's, and shopped at the outlet mall. What a great day besides of the rain..=(



Jackson getting ready to ride the waves. He totally LOVES the ocean.=)






Eating at Lambert's. We all ate way to much food!!



Jackson running around the outlet mall. Jonathan thought it would be funny to put a stocking on Jackson's head. Jackson thought it was funny and even posed for a picture. The fun never ends.
