Hanging Out
Today we didn't get out of the house much. We pretty much just hung out, did some laundry and got ready for Uncle Landon's visit. Today was the first day that Deacon was really interested in playing with his GeoTracks that he got for Christmas. When I went to grab the camera to get a picture of it he didn't want anything to do with them. So, when I told him to go play with them so I could take his picture he decided to just have a little posing session.

We had great weather today and Deacon was so excited to go play outside.
;)
He played with the neighbor's dog.

And he played with his best buddy Maggie (he also helped me give her a bath today).
;)

I am loving all the quality time I get to spend with this charming little boy.

I am terrible at posting videos so today I decided to finally make myself do it. Here are some of my favorites. I love his laugh in this one.
Here he is "blowing over" (knocking them down with his head) the block towers his daddy made.
At this point Deacon was extremely tired, but instead of being fussy he was hilarious.
Playing blocks with Grandpa Kent.
Deacon absolutely loves music. He loves to sit in his floor with his ipod and dance. Here he is dancing to one of his favorite songs.

( 2.9 / 58 )Mommy's Little Helper...or Not!
Today I was able to get a lot of cleaning done while Deacon was napping. Once he woke up he decided he was going to be Mommy's little helper. First he helped vacuum. I just wish this toy really worked!;)
He also was helping me earlier in the day. While I was folding laundry he grabbed a rag out of the basket and when into the kitchen and was "cleaning" the floors and chairs. The next time I looked over he was dipping his rag into Maggie's water bowl and "washing" the wall. What a great helper!
Then I guess he decided cleaning was too much work.
;)
When I went to vacuum his room, he grabbed his computer and sat in the middle of the floor, refusing to move.
;)
Maggie decided to join him.
;)
Since he loves playing in his bed he gladly rolled around in there while I cleaned his room.
;)
He also did some reading.
;)
This is what I get when I tell him...say cheese. It's kinda scary!
;)
Later in the day he decided he wanted to go for a ride in his wagon when it was time for me to cook dinner.
;)
What's a Mommy to do when she needs to get things done? I guess only 1 thing...get creative.
This is one of Deacon's favorite games to play (his Daddy taught him this). He lays in the floor.
;)
And then throws the ball up in the air and tries to catch it.
;)
This is obviously very entertaining to him!
Sorry these pictures are huge, not sure what the issue is.

( 2.9 / 79 )Weekend Wrapup
Saturday we had a great family day! We spent the morining hanging around the house in our pajamas. I went to Rhea Lana's and got Deacon lots of summer clothes! When I got home we packed up and headed to the zoo. We only had about an hour before they closed but it was a beautiful day. ;)
Deacon loved looking at the animals, there was 1 monkey that was his favorite.
;)
We were pleasantly surprised to see some friends there.
;)
When we got home Daddy and Deacon had lots of fun playing with bubbles.
;)
Daddy tried to let Deacon blow some bubbles himself, but Deacon just tried eating the stick.
;)
Last weekend we had the Baker's over for dinner and Deacon and Reed had so much fun playing. They ended up decided to have some play time in Deacon's bed. They had so much fun laughing and squealing (mostly Deacon). They were great entertainment for us.
;)
Afer we got home from church yesterday we all took naps. There is nothing better than a Sunday afternoon nap. Especially after you have spent the morning with 25 one year olds!
;)
Last night we had one of our amazing women's event at church and as always it was spectacular. Christine Cain from Hillsong was the speaker and she is so motivating. She challenged us all to stop sitting at the gate and to get up and do what God has called us to do. There are so many people even in our community that need our help. I know for me I always get caught up in the business of life. So, I am challenging myself to do more for the kingdom. I'm not exactly sure what that it is yet, but I have a few things in mind and I am rely on God to point me in the right direction.

And just in case you need more Deacon check this out.

I love this post. It is so true and such a great analogy. I think I first learned this a little over 12 years ago when my grandma was diagnosed with cancer and I am still working on it. I guess you can say I'm a slow learner with some things. Thankfully, God knows the big picture and never leaves us.
I know several friends and family members who are going through rough times and I wish there was something that I can do to make it better. But in the end God is the one who is in control. As much as we beg for God to step in and rescue us, because we think that is the "right thing" he sees the bigger picture and we have to trust that his way is the best. Sometimes that is easier said than done. I don't know if I will ever understand why somethings happen, but once again I just have to trust God.
As was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5
