We Miss Hayley

Our sweet friend Hayley moved to North Carolina a few weeks ago.  We miss her so much!  Especially Tag....he loved his "Layley".  We can't wait to come visit you soon!



Hayley, Trent, and Cale with our kids at our church musical.  Hayley sang a solo!

Dr. Bunny

Anyone need a doctor, dentist, piano player, or receptionist? Well, we have it all here at the Burton household.
Introducing Dr. Bunny and her patient, Baby Hallie.

Just checking her vitals....

Beth just couldn't resist.  She had been the "vomiting patient" for far too long.  She was ready to be silly...
Dr. Bunny explaining blood pressure to Beth, who is not playing along according to Faith's rules anymore.

Tag the piano player....with his signature toothbrush in mouth.  (Anyone's toothbrush will do.)

Dr. Bunny has changed careers and is now looking for receptionist work.

If you have any leads, I can vouch for how highly qualified she is. :)

Joe & Tag's in January

Logan and Haden hanging out with Uncle Joe.  I wish I could have heard the conversation out in that backyard.  Uncle Joe has more stories than should be legal!  He is one of my very favorite people on this planet.

Tobie and Hannah.  She is getting so grown-up!

Faith loved being with Hannah.  She is such a sweet young lady.  We loved spending time with them that weekend.

And We Were Swangin'

Happy New Year at the Wheeless Ranch

We spent January 2nd out at the Wheeless Ranch. Rick and Bev are such gracious hosts. We had so much fun just being out in God's creation. So beautiful!

Faith loving on their Golden, Molly.

And God ended the day by painting us a gorgeous sunset.  Thank you!

Rippin' and Swingin'

Luke got a ripstick for Christmas and has been carving it up on our neighborhood streets for the past couple of months! This guy is so athletic....he picks stuff up way too quick. :)  It's really not fair.  But he's mine, so what can I say?

This is Beth's all-time favorite hobby.  You should see her pump!  No other 4 year old has ever come close to the tree branches like Miss Beth.

Tag is loving his new swing from Santa.  Such a cutie.  I love being outside with my family!  Hope you all are enjoying some fun outdoor time too....

Leaves Are Fun!

How crazy that its March and all the tiny leaf buds are just starting to come out and show their faces on all the tree branches....and I'm writing about the falling leaves back in December. :) Fall happens a few months late here in Texas....the leaves start changing more in November, and start falling off the trees and creating piles of fun for kids in December. So here we are....in shorts and short sleeves....playing in the leaves...in the middle of winter! Ha. Gotta love it!

In Revelation 21:5-6, Jesus says, "I am making everything new!  I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give drink without cost from the spring of the water of life."

I hope that the seasons remind you of Christ's promise that we get to start over again....year after year.  Life in Christ is not stagnant, but always moving....living....exciting.  As the spring season approaches and there is new life all around us, I hope you will drink deeply and freely from the water of life.  No cost!  Thank goodness, I wouldn't want to get that water bill.  :)
