Watkins Family - A Redeemed Heritage For A Faithful Legacy

Hebrews 8: 8-12

".....Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,⁹not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ¹¹And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. ¹²For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."

Gracie's 4th Birthday Party

Gracie celebrated her Fourth birthday at our house with Grandpa Kurt, Grandma Debbie, The Haddoxes and the Alfreds. The kids decorated their own cupcakes (even Grandma did one!) and we had some pretty neat looking finished products. Gracie got new cowgirl boots, a pink guitar, money, clothes, and a butterfly garden! We finished off her special day with a trip to the Pasadena Rodeo. She had a great time!

Walk on the Lake Charles Beach

On the ride back from picking up the family from Mississippi we stopped to take a rest and stretch our legs. The kiddos had a chance to run, wade the water, and see their first wild alligator from about 2 feet away.

Visiting Mississippi

During Hurricane Ike Serita and the kids had the chance to spend some much needed time with family in Mississippi. It was a whirlwind trip, but I think we got to see everyone while we were there including getting to spend the whole afternoon with my little sister Vivian! (she's in the picture with Hank and the donkey)

Visiting Uncle Parkie

In the midst of fleeing from Ike we were able to spend some very special time with my uncle Parkie in Shreveport, LA. Parkie and his wife Fran were such a blessing to our family for their hospitality and love. The kids had such a great time there and added Parkie and Fran to their long list of grandparents!
