Going to Grandma's...

Owen hitched a ride with Uncle Quentin Monday and went to Grandma's house....clear in Oklahoma, all by himself. As you can tell, he was quite excited about this little adventure.

Thanks for the shirt, Mary Ellen. :) It says, "That's it, I'm going to Grandmas!"
Uncle Quentin said that twice on the trip down there, Owen said, "If you're tired, you can go ahead and take a nap and I'll drive." Glad he didn't take Owen up on that offer.
Here are some other pictures from around our house. Our yard is wrapping things up for Fall. :(



These are some of the last peppers I got. I didn't really need them right now, so I froze them. Great for pizza topping.
Our growing little guy.
My flowers....:( ......I'll have lots of seeds for next year.
This picture is for Aunt Mandy. It's kind of blurry, but Megan LOVES peppers. She goes to the garden and picks them and eats them like an apple...even the really hot ones. :) Aren't you proud of her!?!
Picking our last peppers.....and wild onions. :)
This is a hornet's nest we found. Kristyn wanted to take it for show and tell this week.....NOT!!!! There were still hornets coming and going. We just did a drive-by-viewing.
Owen came to me the other day when I was paying bills and said he was an Indian. He got the sticker things from between the stamps and I had given him the big sticker and then he snatched an address label. :) I don't know how he's going to chase any cowboys with those blinders on.

Thanks for dropping by!

Wordless....

Being The Third Child....

It's TOUGH!!!!!

....But these two just look so innocent!
We have had a great week, can you tell? :)

On a completely different note, a few weeks ago someone e-mailed us a video clip of Nick Vujicic. He was born without arms or legs and has an amazing testimony! After watching the video clip, Keith went to his website (lifewithoutlimbs.org) and looked under the schedule tab and saw that he was scheduled to speak at a church about 2 1/2 hours from here. Of course, he immediately said, "We're going!"

So Wednesday afternoon Keith and I and another couple took 2 bus loads of teenagers (30 people in all) to hear Nick Vujicic speak. That man is incredible. He spoke on the worthiness of God. It put me to shame, because I have 2 perfectly good legs and arms and still I grumble sometimes.

I would encourage you, if you ever get a chance to hear him speak, it will be worth your drive and you won't be disappointed. You can also go on You Tube and type his name in and watch him speak. He is a powerful speaker!

The pictures are kind of blurry...sorry!

He brushes his own teeth, combs his hair, SHAVES by himself (although, I think he forgot to shave before he came Wed. night. :) ) he can even swim by himself....unbelievable!!
Well, that about sums up all I have for now. Have a great weekend!!!

A Miniature Bride and A Praise...

This past Saturday, Kristyn was the miniature bride at a wedding. She thought was she in princess land all day. :) Here are a few pictures.

Quite the little lady, huh?
She wanted a picture with "Big Josh".

Her and "Little Josh" found lots of cool things to do while they were waiting for pictures.

"Boy, this is getting long....."
Congratulations, Josh and Heidi! We are so happy for you guys!


And now for my praise:
A friend of mine asked me to take pictures of her grandsons yesterday. Our camera has been messing up and I prayed and asked God to please help the camera to work. So yesterday when I took the pictures, the camera did great until the very end. So I want to thank the Lord for helping the camera. :)

Since they're not my kids, I'm only putting one picture of these darlings on here. Aren't they cute?
Thanks for dropping by. Have a great day!! By the way, ANGIE, thanks for leaving a comment on the last post!!! ;)

Arthur and Jessica....

Jessica asked me to take some picture of them this week. Here are a few of my favorite (I took 85 pictures, so I couldn't put all of them on here). Jessica has one of those pregnant bodies that we all wish we had. (not the over-sized barn look that I usually have) :) I hope you enjoy them.



It was hilarious getting this picture. She kept laughing and bouncing the blocks off her tummy. :)
The note says, "To Arthur and Jessica, With Love From God."
Only 2 more weeks to go!

Thanks for letting me take your pictures, Arthur and Jessica. It was fun!!

10 weeks old....

Our little cherub was 10 weeks old yesterday. Where does the time go?
We are enjoying every minute of his sweetness!!
Today, he started looking at his hands. I love watching him!!!

He loves to "coo" and smile at whoever will give him attention.

What a wonderful blessing from God he is!
