Balls, Balls, Balls

Brady got a ball pit for his birthday a couple of weeks ago. We set it up at his party, but he really didn't want anything to do with it. (Mostly because he had a whole gym to run around in with his friends.) After the birthday weekend we set the ball pit up in the living room. Now he can get in and out on his own and HE LOVES IT!! Here are a few pictures from our ball pit adventures!!

To Go or Not To Go.....

Beth Moore’s life-transforming Bible study challenges and inspires women of every age, everywhere. Joining Beth at this weekend event is acclaimed worship leader Travis Cottrell and the Praise Team.

Beth's focus will be on the Scripture that God lays on her heart for each individual Living Proof Live event — no two are the same. As she explores the Bible and how it applies to real life, you'll be amazed by her own experiences as a believer, and you'll be inspired to magnify and strengthen your own relationship with God.

Beth's mission is to guide women everywhere into a richer, more fulfilling relationship with the Father. She is a woman of purpose, preparation, prayer and passion. It's apparent in everything she does, from teaching Sunday School at her home church to sharing her biblical insights and observations in her Bible studies and books.

Alamodome, San Antonio, TX Friday, August 22, 2008 - Saturday, August 23, 2008
Friday 6:00 p.m.-9:30 p.m.
Saturday 7:30 a.m.-Noon

I've always wanted to attend one of Beth's "live" conferences, but it has never worked into my schedule where I could get a way. Now, the real question is can my husband survive a weekend with Brady with me all the way in San Antonio? I think it would be such an amazing weekend....What are your thoughts?
