So here is our latest adventure. I was on my way down to our doctor in Mt. Home Arkansas last week and saw this pontoon boat. We have talked for several years about the fact that maybe a pontoon boat would work well for us (with the kids) and for having more space to able to take our families and friends along to the lake. Anyway--I called the number, we went and looked Saturday and it was such an amazing deal. We prayed about it--we even talked with the kids and prayed as a family that God would guide us in this decision. We explained that maybe there was something else God would want us to spend our money on instead of this boat. (Anthony "got it" and prayed that God would help us know...Gideon's prayer went like this..."God, please help us get the boat!") He's three--almost four--at least he got it that it was something to be prayed about. We are really trying to get to that point as a family...EVERYTHING is something to consult with God about...if He is really, really going to be in the driver's seat of our life and our family. Anyway, we can't wait to get it down to the lake and try it out. We already have the boys' birthday party planned for Saturday evening, so it may be Sunday afternoon or next weekend before the maiden voyage!

FANTASTIC!! You all are going to have a blast!! I can't wait to see pics of you all out on the lake.
The pontoon looks awesome..you guys really got a great deal. It's amazing how God blesses us when we are patient and prayerful about things. Just think of all of the memories you will make with that boat..priceless! We're anxious to see you all this weekend. We're very excited to be able to hit the lake with you on Sunday....but after our snake incident last time and Josh's recent snake escapades...I'm not sure I'll be brave enough to get into the water. So, I may just get a tan! :)
Angela - can I come?????? That boat looks awesome. Jennifer is right, you guys will have great memories with that boat. God is good all the time, isn't he?
I'll be leaving tomorrow for the weekend to spend with friends on the lake in their pontoon boat. Should be a lot of fun.
Hey, if you get a chance, come over to my blog and check out some of the pics I took from our vacation to Glacier National Park.
Miss ya'll.
