Our flowers

We have had a lot of rain this Spring. I don't think our flowers have ever looked so good! The Lamb's ears flowered and the bees have been on a picnic. We planted some marigolds near the front of the house to add some color. I put some multi-colored lantana by the mailbox. I just love the little bouquets they produce!

Too Long!

It has been too long since I have posted any photos! The last few months have been full: our best friends moved away to Montana, we have finished up schooling for the year, we have been to piano and dance recitals, we have started working out as a family doing Crossfit, we have had family visiting, we have been gardening, and we have been enjoying life! Here are some photos.

SNOW!!!!!!!

There was a weather forcast for snow on Sunday, but the morning felt way too warm. Clay Callaway said that it was gonna snow because there were so many children praying for it. Just as worship service started, it did begin to snow. Our sanctuary has lovely windows and it was so beautiful to see it snowing so hard. You could feel everyone's excitement in the church. The children bolted for the doors when worship was over and could hardly contain their excitement on the drive home. It really felt like we were in a snowglobe on our drive home. The kids ran inside to change their clothes and head out to PLAY! The afternoon was spent building snowmen, throwing snowballs, getting cold and wet, looking for hats and gloves, drying things, and cleaning up from the messes. The Pickett kids came over and spent the afternoon and Shelley and Troy shared a pizza and cookies with us in the evening. We had a cozy time in front of the fire having a family worship time. It was extra special b/c Shelley brought her guitar and blessed us with some musical accompaniment. Praising God for the beautiful day that was full of surprises and delight!

Bonfire Time

The kids really wanted to have a fire outside. We had their friends over and we had grand time having dinner and dessert by the fire! Good memories.

Playing Barbie Dolls

Hannah and Sarah's Room

The girl's room was a beautiful yellow color, but it was in need of a paint job.  We decided to paint it an aqua color to match the color in some pillows we found at Marshalls.  You can see the result in the photos!  We still need some pictures on the walls, but everyone seem happy with the outcome.
