After two weeks in Texas {the first week with my family and the second week with Brian's family}, the kids returned home. They got off the plane and Julia looked as if she had aged 10 years in those two weeks... The aunts had taken her shopping... cute shoes, cute...
As we drove up to the downtown square, I had flashbacks of Denton, Texas ~ the town we called home from the time Nate was born until two years ago when we moved. Denton summers were full of parades, events, ice cream and running into friends. I love small towns with...
As the kids were having fun with the grandparents, Brian and I decided to have our own adventure. We headed north to Prescott. I have wanted to take Brian to this antique store that I found with Aimee for about a year now! We found it and it was still open ~ Woo Hoo!...
My Grandmother, Mary Alice Louise... for taking the trip to Arizona, for being the perfect example of a woman of faith, for loving my husband as though he was her own. My Mother, Mary Elizabeth... for loving my children with all of her soul, for being my daily...
Sometimes you travel for work. Sometimes you stand on your feet for three days straight. Sometimes when you get in the taxi, you just want to ride to the airport in silence. {Scroll down to the bottom for the updates} But then... the driver rolls down his window for...

I spin in circles…  Not as a young child twirls Not as a lovely yellow umbrella between the fingers of a lady But as a dry blanket of dust, searching for my soul to be made full.  I look over my shoulder…  Wanting to be appreciated by my peers Wanting to be admired...
{pronounced Tla-keh-pah-keh}Â Sedona's Arts and Crafts Village... You pull into a little shopping center... and you walk in... Every turn you take you stumble upon another amazing view. A little collage of art and nature and careful planning. Someone wanted you to...
Great Grandma White is a huge Western Fan. The main strip in Sedona has a one room museum about the movies that were filmed there. Voila! Best granddaughter award coming right up! She does look happy though! We spent Saturday morning enjoying the amazing weather, the...
After seeing the Chapel of the Holy Cross, we went to check in to our hotel... Well ~ there are two King Ransom (one hotel and one inn, right next door to each other). When I came with Aimee, I stayed at the Hotel. It was affordable, beautiful and great memories. I...
To my father To my husband To my father in law To both of my grandfathers WHEN GOD MADE FATHERS. When the good Lord was creating Fathers, He started with a tall frame. An angel nearby said, "What kind of a Father is that? If you're going to make children so close to...
Sometimes it is easier {for me} to say what IÂ want to with pictures... I hope you enjoy!
National Parks... you should check them out. Really. Grandma, mom and I sat on a bench... enjoying the breeze while Brian walked Julia and Nate around. This was my third time here, but I am overwhelmed every time. How did a community live up there? Did they climb up?...
If you are one of my faithful readers, then you know... I ADORE taking my visitors to Cosanti! It's absolutely amazing. Peaceful. Serene. Lovely. These were very special visitors... my mother and grandmother. This was my mother's third time but my grandmothers first...
I thought of you today. My office was full of African Violet Blooms. They don't like to be moved. Every time I move them, it takes about 2 years for them to bloom again. I can empathize with that. The blooms reminded me of your beautiful hands. Hands that were always...
 Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my hands and let them move At the impulse of Thy love. Take my feet and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee; Take my voice and let me sing, Always, only for my King. Take my lips and let them be...
I was ready. I was going to post about Sedona tonight. I was going to tell you about my trip with my husband, kids, mom and grandma... I thought I was doing great, (As many of you know, the kids are with Grandma and Grandpa in Texas) But then... I opened the pantry to...
On Memorial Day we drove down {or Up depending on how you are looking at the map} to Tortilla Flats, Arizona. {Aimee... you would have been so proud of me! I drove some crazy windy roads} This was one of the most amazing drives... the views are incredible. As we drove...
  Sometimes it seems harder to let them help than to just push through. Sometimes it seems like I just don't have time to slow down and let them be. They just want to learn and spend time with us. Brian is so good at this. He had Nate organize his sockets (it's ok if...
1. Set up cute table ~ with your fanciest napkin holder 2. Have kiddos make up fun flavors  3. Don't intervene... they will have great ideas. Promise. (This will earn you at least twenty minutes. Use it wisely! No laundry, no dishes... maybe a quick thumb through a...
