Shoes, Shoes and More Shoes

Friday was family day for the Beavers family. As church planters with the Southern Baptist Convention we receive money from the North American Mission Board(NAMB), if you give to Annie Armstrong and Dixie Jackson offerings through your local Southern Baptist church you are supporting church planters like us. As a gift to us, NAMB sent us a gift card to use for family fun. We knew we could use it to pay a bill, but we did what they requested and headed to Playtime Pizza.

Playtime Pizza is like Chuck E. Cheese on steroids, and we enjoy it a lot. The kids had fun, Stephen and I had fun, it was money well spent. We want to say Thank you!

After family fun time, we went to buy shoes. This sadly wasn't funded by our giftcard (Playtime Pizza took all of that!). We chose to go to Academy Sports, we love that store! David and Daniel got new tennis shoes. There are so many friends of ours that can only tell them apart by their shoes. So, today I put an fyi on Facebook to alert everyone that they had new ones. The comments were so funny!

The biggest news of the shoe shopping experiencee was Anna's shoes. She had to get a size 8! She's only 8! I wear an 8! At this rate, she'll have to wear clown shoes with her wedding dress!
She is a 7 or a 71/2 in most shoes, but Mamaw brought her some shoes when she was here that are 8's and they fit Anna. No play shoes for her!

Wear did those cute little feet go? I believe what I was told a few years ago. The days go by slowly, but the years go by fast. It is so true.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time. I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud! I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
