Another one for Jesus

Alexis had the privilege of helping Preston pray to have Jesus come into his heart. I'm so sad to have missed it, although I did hear them praying but was so into whatever I was doing to actually listen to what they were saying.

Alexis came in very excited and said Preston just asked Jesus into his heart. So I asked Preston about it, of course Alexis kept inserting her comments & had to be reminded that it's Preston's news.
Preston said he just asked Jesus into his heart. I asked him why we do that, he said "I don't know". I asked him what he prayed, he said "I don't know". But he knew that Jesus was in there now.

Alexis asked Preston if he'd like to pray & ask Jesus into his heart & he said, "Okay". So she told me the part of the prayer she remembered, "Come into my heart as holy & forgive me of my sins". Amen!!

We called the grandparents to share the news & he told his Papa "You ask Jesus in your heart when you go to Heaven". Now that he did, he wants to make sure his Papa is going there too.

I was a little skeptical about him understanding this at 3 1/2, but Mom just told me that my brother was 3 when he prayed by himself & just informed her that he did it. He probably gets it & we'll just keep reminding him what he did. I'm sure Alexis will do that for us anyway.

A New Addition

No, no babies. Ha, how funny that you would think that from the title of this entry. Ok, so it was intentional on my part.
Anyway... I have added something new to this blog. It is a list of my FAVORITE recipes that are easy and loved by even the children.
So go to the sidebar & you'll see a list of recipe names with links to the actual recipe w/ a photo.
I will add more from time to time, but you know how crazy life is & it's taken me this long to actually post them. So be patient with me.
If you have some that you like too, let me know so I can try them out & they may even make it to "my favorites list".
Have fun & let me know what you think of them, you can even rate them on the host website.
Cheers.

A hike for AWANA

We went for a local hike with the kids' AWANA group & had a great time picking up "treasures" along the way.
Preston was really into getting miniature pine cones & Alexis was into collecting 'mushrooms' that turned out to be dead flowers w/o the petals anymore. She insists on calling them mushrooms anyway, I think it's because it's the opposite of what I say. She'll call it anything as long as it's not what I say it is, isn't that lovely?
What did Carter enjoy? That's a good question, he was very quiet & once in a while would point at things. He's a quiet observer at times.















This photo turned out a little weird because
it came out so bright so I had to mess with
it a little.
