Heart Strings...


Watched a movie with the kids last night, afterward no one was REALLY ready to go to bed!


































My sweet son wanted to show me something he had made for me...

Mom's Mall 





Precious little girl, eyes full of wonder.













May end up just like Mommy!

I recently began an online Bible Study here. We are going through Strong Women Soft Hearts by Paula Rinehart. Really, really like this study! If you have the chance to check it out, you should! 

A few pictures from a leisure learning class I took recently. When I took some of these pictures, I didn't really appreciate all of the beauty in them, (mainly because I was scrambling to set my camera on the right settings!) After looking through them, I became aware of the BIG picture... how beautiful God's creation is!  So glad that He gave us this to enjoy.

Yesterday I was out with  my camera and caught this cute little squirrel (or kitty, if you are my daughter.. :) Just had to share...

I love going to my parents home in Dry Creek, they live in my grandparents old house. I can remember being a kid and thinking how bored I was out in the country! Funny how things change as you get older. Now,  I love sitting on the porch and watching the sunset. Or going for walks down the road. I love how you can look out on the field of flowers and see nothing but shades of yellow and blue. I know God was thinking of us when He created everything. I know He was thinking of me, and how I needed to be somewhere where I could feel the grass beneath my feet, and see the beauty of His nature.

Long Hiatus

More than a year ago I blogged...how sad...So I'm back to reclaim my poor little page and brighten your day! I decided to share some of the things that I love, things that make me happy and thankful, and what better time to start back than Easter weekend? I am so very thankful for an Understanding, Compassionate, All-Knowing, Loving, Redeeming God! So there it is my friends! Have a wonderful Easter, thanking God for the Hope we have in His Risen Son!

Days 1-3 and 4 :)

OK, so this sounded like so much fun, then I forgot, or better yet my family got sick! So, to catch you up, days 1-3 looked like wadded up kleenex all over the house, an entire pharmacy on my countertop, and a sick lethargic looking husband and son.

Now for Day 4 or 5 whichever one this is supposed to be...
Here is my daily ritual of coffee and computer time (8:30ish - ha!ha! who am i kidding it's all day:)


Ahh, and the never ending pile of laundry that needs to be folded. Still waiting for it to magically happen on its own.



My lovely children, one still not feeling great, the other being exposed to the magic of Elmo for the first time!! (10:00a.m.)



Breakfast time! Blueberry Muffins, thank you Martha White:) Notice the can of starch in the background...this is my life, one unfinished job to the next!(11a.m.)


Ironed clothes and attempted to do some homeschooling with a sick child, don't worry lesson learned!! (12 - 1:30)

Took the kids to the doctor to find out one had an upper resp. infection and the other has a virus that causes stinky smelly diapers shown here: 2:00 - 3:00



Put Liv down for a nap, sent Jude upstairs to rest and watch a movie and relaxed a little 3:00 - 3:30


Ate leftover pizza for lunch, started cooking supper and waited for the arrival of my dearest husband, while listening to my dear little one cry...picked her up shortly thereafter! 4:00 - 6:00



Made another pot of coffee, I love coffee:)



Ate supper (meatloaf with roasted potatoes and carrots!) Went shopping (needed to get out of the house:) Put kiddos to bed, and got ready for bed myself, however I'm still up and typing, and I must admit this last picture is making me so sleepy and glad that this is over for tonight!! Oh and for those that know me well, that ugly looking thing is my swiss cake roll pillow which I've had since the eighth grade!!

What's In a Drawer

I have said before how opposite my husband and I are...Now I have proof:) As I was dusting the other day (which is quite unusual:) I found this...



Not just an ordinary night stand, with its two deep drawers, it contains this...



Lovely...



Now here is my night stand:



and the inside of my drawer...



Ta Da!!
