And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Great 4th of July Weekend!

We had a great, fun, and LONG weekend. We enjoyed the family getting toether. My brothers and sister came. Although Angela had to leave later Friday morning (that was kind of a bummer, but we were glad to see her anyway. I know she wanted to stay, but she had to work!). My Dad's brother's family from Jonesboro came and stayed at Grandma Spencer's and my cousin Greg that works for the Forest Service in Winona came every evening to hang out. We had some really great weather. This is the most pleasant 4th of July I can remember, not super hot! Friday it rained but that was the only day. Nothin' to that day but set inside and watch movies (we also ate alot of homemade ice cream!! YUM!) Saturday we took the kids to the river to splash and play. We set off fireworks (of course, Livy loved the sparklers...however, it made momma nervous!!), had a bonfire one night and made smores and laughed until late. John and I even did some fishing in the ponds. Didn't catch anything though. It was a great weekend
