Seize the Moment!

>>...these boys are learning how to take aim and hit the target. They really like to practice shooting. Check out the 'authentic' looking attire..whew-hoo! These two are pretty much inseparable. You won't usually find one brother without the other. Unless they are cleaning their rooms. >>Garrett has just moved into his own room. This was a big thing for us. And for him. Now, he has his very own room and has to take good care of it and show that he is a 'good steward' of what God has given him. Austin is learning the same since he now has no one to share his room with. They both have to keep it clean and tidy. They're learning that, it wasn't the other one who made all the mess in there. Ha Ha! >>These boys really like to go outside. I think it is their favorite thing to do. Especially when it's time to do school. (not really all the time) They like to build things with wood and hammer anything they can get their hands on. They are also very good helpers around the house. They help with yard work, take out the trash, clean their own bathroom, help with laundry and the dishes too. It really doesn't take that long to help them learn to be responsible around our house. I try to motivate them by giving them opportunities to do all the fun things they like to do. That usually works good for us all, doesn't it! >>The other day when their Daddy came home, the first thing they wanted was to go outdoors and do some target practice. Here is a couple of photos of them... Since our yard is fenced, they can practice shooting toward the fence where the target is posted. They have a jug and some bull's eyes to shoot at. They can really hit that target!! I'm impressed because that target is pretty far away from them. Maybe one day they could learn archery too. I think that's a great skill for a boy to have. How 'bout that jin-ew-wine coon skin hat?! While they were practicing, they were talking. Their Daddy was telling them about how important it is to have a target to shoot at. He said it was important to have that target in your focus. And that the main target that we should have is Jesus Christ. The boys learned more than shooting practice that afternoon. They learned that they have an awesome Lord and Savior! And that they have THEE most wonderful Daddy ever!! He looked at me and said, "This is why we're doing what we're doing!" >>Carpe' Diem<<
