Funny Faces...



Who ARE these kids? LOL My kids and their funny faces.... I just love how fun, and free-spirited they can be at times...


Look at these! What are they, you might ask? Well, my kids decided to make use of some crafting supplies they have long forgotten about (we spent two or three days cleaning out and organizing their crafts (we had 3 bags of trash!) Anyways, they have had these "funny face" rubber stamps, and Bailey decided to have them make "Funny Face Trading Cards"- cards they can trade for other funny faces others might have (Braden). ;) Such fun and creative.
Lotsa Hugs!

Crab Prints...

Isn't nature and the Gracious Lord awesome?! These are little trails made by teeny crabs making their way to- well, who knows? To a home, to the sea, to find food, to escape danger... quite the amazing little creatures they are...
Our trip to the beach was soooo totally awesome. The peace in it was so tranquil, yet exhilarating! I find myself wanting to go back, find those little crabs, hold them, let them go, and watch them scurry in the waves and sand again...


It would beat the thoughts and decision Bryan and I face now... we have come steps closer to the thought of moving to Colorado, and it's mind-boggling. Neither of us can sleep. As far as we know, we have more money to make the move with, and most likely have more time in which to get the house ready to sell (and to sell). However, there most likely will NOT be any more added to the salary. We will take a 25,000 cut somewhere- Housing, leisure fun, extras for the kids... I even fear it will eat at some familiar necessities. Our family back home in Colorado is so important. It's hard to think any more...

For some reason, I can't add anymore pictures. Hmmm. Do not know why.? Well, things will be better soon, this will be a thing of the past, we will either be in Colorado or staying in Texas, working on some home improvements!

Oh! OH! OH! McKenna has taken her first steps... Last week on July 24th! She walked between Bailey and me with such huge pride (judging from the smile on her face). I am so proud of her too. We ALL are! It's such an accomplishment. Hugs 'til next time!

Have Faith My Child...


"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading."

~ Oswald Chambers ~

Oh, how the words are true, yet so hard to keep in mind. What will the Lord have us do? To move or not to move~ that is the question.
I pray that the light be shown, to know thy way... we want what He wants, just to do His work. Let the words ring in our ears, and beat in our hearts... That is all.

"I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11.

First ever blog....



Wow, I can't believe I have actually started this. I love visiting others blogs, and I guess that's why I decided to start one. What do I talk about now? ;)
Well, here is a little something that I am working on the new Etsy shop.
Maybe I'll post more later when I start to get the hang of this...
Hugs~
