Ft. Worth Zoo

Last week Chance's uncle passed away in Ft. Worth. The funeral was Saturday, so we decided to leave at 5 am Friday (so the kids would sleep) and drive in to take the kids to the zoo. I think I was actually more excited that Rayden!!!! We got to the zoo and spent a little over two hours there. It was hot, and would have been much nicer had we not had to take poor little Casen, but he was a trooper none the less!!!

The Elephants ~ Rayden's favorite!!!

Just checkin' in...we have 12 girls signed-up so far!!! I just wanted to encourage you and let you know I am prayin' the following foryou, "Father, we are your children. Jesus is Lord over our spirit, soul, and BODY. I praise you because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful; we know that full well. Lord, I thank YOU for declaring your plans for us - plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. WE CHOOSE to renew our minds to YOUR PLANS for a healthy lifestyle. You have abounded towards us with all prudence and wisdome. Therefore, we give thought to our steps. Teach us knowledge and good judgement with concerns to our bodies. Our bodies are for you Lord. So here is what we want to do with YOUR help, Father God. We choose to take our everyday, ordinary lives - our sleeping, our eating, our excercising, our going to work, our walking-around lives, and PLACE THEM BEFORE YOU AS LIVING SACRIFICES. Christ, the Messiah, will be magnified and receive the glory and praise in each of our bodies and minds. Thank you Lord for the help you are giving us! In Jesus Name! Amen!!! (out of the Prayers That Avail Much) Have a great day! Your Biggest Loser Bloggin' Style Friend - Dawn
