When life gets busy...

this is what I long to do. How about you?

Sometimes I'm torn between responsibilities and the pleasure of finishing a story.

Have you been caught up in a story lately?

Happy Easter

from our family to yours

I have been inspired by several blogs lately

Moss lettering is very popular this season. I just loved it so I had to make me one.

These decorative balls were not an original idea of mine either. I would love to credit the blog where I first saw them but I can't find it again.

They sure were fun to make though.

 

Disclaimer--this mirror has been cleaned and cleaned and I can't seem to get the smears off :-) grr.

It is the simple things in life that can sometimes bring the biggest smiles in life. I'm smiling, are you?

My how time flies......

I came across what we called Camerons take home outfit. This outfit was purchased back in the day when we shopped at Babies R Us. We had to have just the right outfit to bring him home in. Our precious first born is growing up, people!!!! He is only 11 and is almost as tall as me. I haven't measured us in a couple weeks so it may be that I'm only taller than him on Sundays when I'm wearing my heels.

He may outgrow everything we bought him to wear, was it just last week, but he will never outgrow my heart. Cameron is a normal 11 yr. old with the body of a teenager (his comment when we were trying to figure out how much medicine he should have since he isn't 12 yet, ha). He can listen to a movie and repeat back to you the funny phrases, memorization seems to come easy for him. His grades are very high and overall a very well behaved boy. I'm glad he is mine. Most of all I'm glad he has a heart for God. That is what will ultimately shape his life. I wonder what he will become......If I blink he will be all grown up.

Florida memories

The day we were at the beach for pictures it was very windy. It was wonderful though to be out experiencing warmer weather after such a cold winter.

We love being at the beach.

We even had a picnic with Mark's family.

Good Times!

My guy...

This is my guy and it is my blog so I will be gushing a bit on how I feel about him. I fell in love very young (married at 19). When his family came to town to Pastor our church he was not what I wanted. I thought I wanted a tall, dark headed and of course good looking kind of man (I was all of 14). Looking back on that now those ideas seem rather silly. Many years later, when he is in a group of tall, dark headed guys, he stands out with his strawberry blonde hair and literally makes my heart skip. He has the best personality and is a man of character. Who could ask for anything more. He's my guy and I'm in love!

My Daddy just outside his tool shop enjoying his own bit of Silver Dollar City. I love the smile on his face.
