Rookie Baseball practice for Ryker...Go Hot Rods!

Spring is here and we made the most of the nice weather by going on walks, riding bikes, and playing baseball in the yard. We have had at least four trips to DQ for ice cream because that's what we do when the temperature goes a few degrees above freezing at the Brenneman house...well, that and beg to wear short sleeves and shorts. To say the boys had spring fever might have been an understatement! Baseball season's arrival has been much anticipated by three guys in the house and the whole family is excited to cheer on our Storm T-Ball player Deezy and our Rookie Baseball player Rykerman. Kinsley continues to grow and change. She is army crawling everywhere, saying Dada and Mama --in that order-- and she's sleeping a little bit better (now that the teeth have come in). That last part about sleep makes everyone a little bit happier around here :)

February Recap

Finally...some snow! For the boys, the arrival of some much anticipated snow and the opportunity to go sledding was one of the top events of the month. Ryker's decision to follow Jesus took the cake. We spent some precious time with friends and family, too. The boys got a visit from their buddies Emerson, Sully and Finn. They also attended a party with Jacey and friends. I am kicking myself for not having any pictures of these things. Another big one I missed out on was our Valentine's Day dinner with the Newsoms. Ryker has declared on more than one occasion that he is going to marry Lainie. He told her that after dinner! We were all playing a parent's vs. kids Disney game and the kids were challenged to dance like Belle and the Beast...Ryker refused to dance with his lady and made his brother step in ad her partner which Deklan happily did. It was hilarious. Kindergarten is still going well, as is CBS. The boys have filled our home with songs of praise (and the  occasional Disney film ballad) from their ipods as their love for Jesus and music continues to grow daily. Here are our favorite images (that were caught on camera) from February:

5 months

Kinsley is five months old today. She is getting so big. This will be the last monthly update withoit teeth, as she appears to be getting her bottom front ones in. She likes giggling with her brothers, putting everything in her mouth, staying up really late, and babbling loudly during CBS (she, clearly, wants to contribute to our bible study discussion; one day, sweet girl!). She's healthy and happy and we praise God for it all!

Happy Birthday to Ryker

This is Ryker minutes after his first birth on October 23, 2008.

This is Ryker a couple of days after his spiritual birth on February 4, 2015. For weeks he had been talking about his heart and wanting to give it to Jesus. Then, as we prayed before bed on Wednesday night, he told us that he wanted to give his heart to Jesus. He told us he understood that he had sin in it and that Jesus was the only one Who could forgive him. He said he wanted to give his heart to Him and live in heaven forever. So, we prayed. He was so excited that he wanted to call and tell all of his close friends and teachers and Grandma and Grammy & Papaw. We are so grateful for everyone that has influenced him to make this decision and for those that have modeled and taught him about our wonderful Lord and Savior. More over, we are so thankful that God has called him and that He has shown him unfailing love and amazing grace, that He has a purpose and plan for Ryker and that He will guide him as he begins his new life as a believer in Christ. The angels are throwing a party for him in heaven. We celebrate, too! Woo hoo! Happy Birthday to our Ryker!
