Teach me your decrees, O Lord;

I will keep them until the end.

Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions;

I will put them into practice with all my heart.

Make me walk along the path of your commands,

for that is where my happiness is found.

Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money!

Turn my eyes from worthless things,

and give me life through your word.

Reassure me of your promise,

made to those who fear you.

Help me abandon my shameful ways;

for your regulations are good.

I long to obey your commandments!

Renew my life with your goodness.

Collin's Creativeness

Yesterday, I was downstairs while the kids were playing upstairs. I realized that I hadn't seen or heard Collin in a while so I went upstairs to check on him......this is what I found him doing. :)

He is so determined. While I was taking the picture, the darts started to fall off. That didn't stop him, he kept putting them back on. Notice the sweat on his face in this picture, he was working hard and long at it. I love this boy. :)

Fair Day

The Texas State Fair is a BIG deal in Texas. In fact, each school district gets a designated "Fair Day" where the kids get the day off from school and are given a ticket to the fair. So this year, we went and had a blast. It was a nice family day (which was really needed). Kylee is such a daredevil, she decided to go on one of the only rides that go upside down, and Scott and Collin went on the bumber cars and airplane ride. Then they all went in the bubble fun house with Barrett. And I got my funnel cake! :)
