Hilda deserves her own post. She and Alina were in charge of making our hair and face beautiful. They set up camp in Laura's hotel room, so all I had to do was go to bed with clean hair and roll out of bed and stumble down to the 2nd floor. She already had one vote....
Matt and Liz's wedding... They may as well be family. When we were transferred to AZ, they moved as well... They come over for game nights and rock band... They know and love and play with our kids... (which always makes me smile!) The wedding was lovely and...
Nic and Heidi's Wedding. So Beautiful. So Honored to be there.
My friends Micah and Justin moved here from Texas last summer... and this past week they moved back... I already miss them. Before they left, we tried to capture some fun AZ memories. I love Justin's smile on this one! They were walking back to go to the next site ~...
Psalm 5 1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 2Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up....
Color. Oh, their giggles. Their laughter. And donuts. Krispy Kreme donuts. Thank goodness for spring and color and new beginnings. And donuts. He makes all things beautiful in His time.
"I waited patiently for the Lord and he inclined to me and heard my cry..." Psalm 40:1 I spent an amazing Saturday morning with a friend doing a photo shoot. We took our time, laughed, talked and I ended up with some fun pics of my own kids! I got to sit down and put...
The Palo Verde trees are in bloom. There are little yellow pom poms flying everywhere. When I woke up this morning, I sang 'This is the Day' to get Nate out of bed. I thought it would annoy him to pieces, but instead he sat straight up, smiled his snaggletooth grin...
A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being the chaperon for Julia's field trip. I sorta wanted to slip this into my backpack for my collection. What I learned. 5th graders are giggly. 5th graders have cooler sunglasses than I do. 5th graders like to sing the latest...
Nate offered to make boxes for packing. I happily said "yes, please" and handed him the tape gun. I wandered in to grab some boxes and found him making a tank. Yup, I think we are gonna need a tank to finish this move. It's true. Hugs, Kate
Over the course of four nights, we tried the famed Mentos and soda experiment. I am convinced that Mr. B and I were put together for this one purpose, if nothing else. Science projects. I seriously, seriously don't like them. I'm not sure if it is because of all the...
**Update** Thank you so much for your prayers. She is resting now. They determined it was only stage 2 ~ Praise God. No Colostomy Bag. Cancer should be completed gone. Thank you, thank you, thank you my wonderful friends....
They were supposed to be cleaning. But it was so fun to find them playing and reading. I wanted to crop these, so you didn't see my messes. But this is how we roll. Smiles make me happy. Happy Monday, everyone! Take a break from the messes and hug those babies!...
Dinner at Ariel's Grotto in California Adventure. Sweet Baby J and Mr. B headed over to the Ferris Wheel. Although I do have the mad skee ball skillz, I have a strong fear of anything over anything 7 feet tall. Nate needed wanted a bubble gun, so I used him as an...
Mom, Dad and BJ headed out to catch their flight after breakfast. I needed a little moment alone to catch my composure, so Mr. B offered to take the kids on the Grizzly River Run... I decided to take some solace in the beaty of the flowers, while I consoled my heart....
Mom, Dad and BJ left for the airport after breakfast on Wednesday morning. We decided to take them to the Grand Californian for breakfast, the same place we ate two years ago. The kids look just the same and so much older all at the same time. We said goodbye to mom...
This is my entry this week for the LENS photo challenge! This weeks theme is Spring. There is nothing more beautiful than the birth of new babies with the Spring. The promise of newness. The promise of beginnings.
Toy Story Mania 3D The wait was an hour and 1/2. Totally, totally worth it. Basically you ride in these cars and you shoot stuff carnival style. Mom and I were a team. I was SURE we dominated. SURE. But then I saw Mr. B's score. THEN I saw Uncle BJ's score. I think he...
