Watch this..................

This man spoke at a wedding conference we went to..............Wow...this is humbling!
We are so lucky!

It is almost garden time.....

If we could just get it to dry up a bit:).....I have been busy ordering seeds and starting plants....some of my favorite places are Gardens Alive, Gurneys, Rare Seeds, Ebay, and I just found some great peppers at http://www.regalpeppers.com

Fall........only here for a little while so we don't take it for granted....

For those of you that are from Springfield, you know who/where I am talking about when I say the guy with the sign by masonic home had this quote up a few weeks back.....
"Fall is like another spring, when every leaf is in bloom"
I LOVE IT!!! That is perfectly said....fall is my favorite time of year:)

Back in June....we had some Birthday fun...

For those of you who don't allready know, Kelly, Tiffany, and I have been friends since birth...lol OK, I'll admit, maybe not since birth but almost ........ Tiffany grew up across the road from my grandparents, and Kelly, well....I seriously cannot remember when we became friends, just that it seems like we always were:)

This was from Kelly's birthday in June, which happens to be when all our birthdays are.

We were also pregnant at the same time and all three have sons that were born within a couple of weeks. Here is a picture, its not the greatest of them, but hey...they weren't even two and I didn't want to interrupt the fun too much by trying too hard.

Jesse and Zac

This was truely a fun evening....laid back, relaxing, playful,....it was simply a great evening at the start of our summer.

Easing back into it since it has been months.....

This was from my bible time one day last week....It was absolutely breathtaking at George Roger's Clark Park.
Onething that was said on church on Sunday that really registered with me:
Have you ever noticed that as the seasons change, the beauty doesn't last very long.....It is because God doesn't want us to take it for granted. Just like with this lifetime, he doesn't want us to take our time on Earth for granted!

Happy Birthday and then some!!!

This past week, my baby brother turned 21!!!....A birthday celebration turned into an even bigger celebration after Scott down on his knee and asked his girlfriend to marry him.

He got everything he wanted....including Brooke! He proposed to Brooke on his birthday so she woudn't expect it....it was perfect, she really had no idea! She said yes....so we have a wedding in our future!!!!!!:)

My heart aches.........

My sweet next door neighbor, Hannah, died unexpectedly yesterday at the age of 4.
All of you that read my blog, please say a prayer for her family. I have no words for this, I am just heartbroken. She was not too much older than Coleton.

Please, EVERYBODY, Hug your loved ones and hold them tight today!!! Tell them "I Love You"......You just never know when God will call them home!
