Thank you............

Thank you to all of you who have been praying for Tasha's family. Keep praying, this is still a very urgent need. Tasha and I have another request in our own family that we would like you to pray about, I know unspoken needs are no fun for the general public, but some things are so close to your heart you can't mention them. God bless.

Hello.....

Just a word to say hello to everyone, we are trying to get our new home remodeled enough to move into. We have been so busy we haven't had time to post anything. I am hoping to be in our place soon and to have the internet up again.
We have some health concerns in Tasha's family that we are asking you as believers to please help us pray for! These are urgent needs in our human eyes, but we know that God will give grace where grace is needed, and the strength to go on~ God's will be done!
Our family was to be the team leaders for a TLC trip to Mexico this summer, but alas, the trip was canceled. While we were disappointed, I am sure God is in control and will work things out in his time. God's blessings on you, we will try to get reconnected soon.

Spontaneous pictures are always great. Then there are those that you have to work at for what seems like hours or days. Bet you can't decided which this picture was? It only took a couple seconds to throw this shot together, not bad guys!!!!

Girls Night!!!

Every girl needs one-on-one time with her mommy.
This is exactly what Elliana and I had tonight...
" Girl's Night"! We BOTH enjoyed ourselves.



Elli had set up a spot in our bedroom of some
of her things for us to do.



She took this picture of me. :-)



Mama and Elli...



We had this movie playing while she mostly
did my hair.



Here is our basket of "hair pretties" as
we call them.



This was about the time we had a ball
tickling each other!



After all that playing around a girl's gotta
have a snack! :-)



Elliana enjoying her popcorn.



This is a collage that we made titled
"Girl Stuff". We cut stuff out of magazines
and glued them on here.

We also played with Polly Pockets and some of
Elli's doll houses. I recall her saying several times
" This is the best night ever" or "This is the best
night of the year"! What a sweetie! Just think, this
didn't cost me anything but time- boy what a way
to invest my time! I'm soooo thankful that God has
given me my little girl. Her name means " God has
answered me". I prayed for her for about two years.
I don't ever want to get too busy, and forget that God
has answered me. I'm thankful for all five of my children.
May God help me to remember that "things" can wait,
my children will one day be gone on their own and these
moments will be far and few between.

P.S.
Elli has our collage sitting up in her window!

Boo-Boo's!

Poor "little Wes" has had a time lately. I suppose it's because he's officially a toddler. He was walking to me a couple days ago and ran into the wall/trim and got a bruise above his right eye. Then later that day I think that he was upstairs (which he climbs all the time) when he got the scratches under his eye. ( Still not too sure how those happened!) He looks like he's been in a fight, and didn't come out on the winning side! :-) I thank God for watching over all of our children, as the boys have been mischevious lately as well! :-) Hopefully the little guy makes it to his second birthday without breaking any bones! LOL!

Strange foods.....

O.K., here's a question for all of you. What are some of the wierd things that you eat? Here's a small list of mine... Greg might tell you that there are many more! (This coming from the guy who likes P.B., tomato, and pickle sandwiches. ;-)
1. I like to eat P.B. and mayo sandwiches.
2. I like to eat cottage cheese and Doritos together.
3. I went through this kick of liking to eat a slice of cheese, and a slice of pickle w/ mashed potatoes on top. I also had this seasoning called " Old Bay" seasoning that I used on it sometimes.
(I know what all of you are thinking... that I ate these things while I was pregnant. While that may have been true SOME of the time, I'm sure that it was not the case ALL of the time!!! :-)
4. I also like to eat ketchup on my mac-n-cheese sometimes!
*****
So how about you? What are some "different" foods that you like? It's o.k., share with us! ;-)
Well, as Tigger would say "T.T.F.N." or " Ta-ta-for-now!
