Two Beauties... who spent the afternoon in our backyard.
And a beast...
But... we're ready! Our Sabbath Day will consist of attending church, enjoying Connie's yummy dinner and a lot of REST!
To succeed in life, you need three things:
a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.
If it's not fun, you're not doing it right.
My neighbor, Dave has a gift behind the camera. Enjoy more of his work.
Gratitude consists of being more aware of what you have than what you don't.
Do small things with great love.
It's not as funny anymore.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Sometimes you just have to hang on.
This photo taken...just before we went to the ER. ;)
BE STRONG when you are weak,
BE BRAVE when you are scared,
HUMBLE when you are VICTORIOUS!
Don't forget to enter the bloggiversary contest before Monday night at 10PM. Details in the previous posts.
If you are always trying to be normal,
you'll never know how amazing you can be.
Life is better when you're laughing!
A beautiful soul is worth more than a beautiful face.
He is rich who rejoices in his portion.
Sometimes God calms the storm...
sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child.
Be your own kind of beautiful.
While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.
Green~ This photo taken by my amazing niece, Brooke Snow, last summer is one of my favorites ever of Zeej. When I thought of a Green photo, there's not much chance of me taking one today in this valley. So, this lovely summer photo is a great reminder of what is just 16 weeks ahead of us! Summer!
26 ~ Night ~ I know, it's old news, but this is my favorite night of the year ~ Christmas Eve.
Life is a gift. Never forget to enjoy and bask in every moment you are in.
Do small things with Great Love.
Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things,
but just look what they can do when they stick together.
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.
The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
There is nothing so strong as gentleness, and nothing so gentle as strength.
No day should pass without something being done.
Wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love. — President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
Our favorite summer salad:
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. salt
pepper to taste
Slice cucumbers and chop tomatoes to bite-size pieces. Pour remaining ingredients over the veggies. Toss and refrigerate. Best served cold, so I just use cold veggies! Even if you don't like cukes and tomatoes, you'll love this!
Doug's Morning Blender Drink
3 veggies
3 fruits
his speciality oatmeal
a handful of vitamins
and on summer mornings...pumpkin flowers, milkweed, and any other thing he grabs while out in the garden.
Life is good! Especially in the summertime!
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
The difficulties of life are to make us better, not bitter.
There is nothing so strong as gentleness, and nothing so gentle as strength.
Appreciative words are the most powerful force for good on earth!
The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.
There's more to life than increasing it's speed.
There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.
Miki loved it all! Zaylee loved the pretty princesses! The babes loved the candy! The parents loved the visiting! I loved being with the family! Smithfield Health Days was a hit... until the afternoon when the rain and wind came and blew it all away. Even still, a fun, fun family day!
When it rains on your parade, look up rather than down.
Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.
A child seldom needs a good talking to as a good listening to.
A sister shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams.
Life: It is about the gift, not the package it comes in.
