I hope this girl always loves to dance.

 

 

 

Psalm 149:3                

Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!

Fashion Show 2013

Ella participated in Belk's kidfest fashion show.  She picked her outfit to model.

 

 Dressed, ready and waiting

 

 

 Modeling her purple outfit.

 

 

 So proud of her courage to be in front of a crowd.

 

 Her favorite type of clothes are shirts with leggings.  This outfit was her style.  She loves the color purple.

 Watching the other kids model

 The kids were able to enjoy cookie decorating, juice boxes,

nails painted, treat bags and face painting.

Happy Spring from Ella

Date Night

Jeff and I are enjoying our once a month "Date Nights"

 

I gave him 12 envelopes for Valentines.  In each envelope, there are directions for our date.

 

We enjoyed eating fish, shopping in Wal-Mart for the dessert our spouse had never eaten, and setting the temperature gauge in the car to HOT.

 

It was a fun night.

 

I got my ideas from Great Date Nights.  We loved the conversations we have.

 

Our first date night was in February.  I think from that date night we are on the path to selling our house, moving, and building a new house.

 

Hold tight

The adventure begins.

 



From Cub to Boy Scouts

We are very proud of Seth.

His hard work and dedication to Cub Scouts for 5 years.

 

 

This is his leader, Mr. Gary.  He has been with Seth for several years.

 

 

 

The group of boys that earned their Arrow of Light moving them

from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.

 

p.s. all the boys are 5th graders and the same age - not sure how my child is the tallest.

I guess we grow TALL kids.

New Kitchen Floor

Since we are getting ready to sale our house, our realtor suggested we have new kitchen floor installed.  The three day process included meals in the den or eating out.

 

Ella doesn't seem to mind eating in the den

 

 

Not sure Gabby liked the whole idea

 Another finished product.

 

Glad Jeff is in the flooring business.  His product is finally in our house.

 

Hope this house SELLS

 

Mornings

 Each morning we start our day with Bible, Family Devotions, Prayer and Journal.

 

This particular morning the boys decided to actually sit on the couch

 

TOGETHER. 

This is a pretty RARE moment. 

 

Well second later, Seth moves and Gabby takes over Seth's spot while Garrett

writes in his journal.

 

Our dog is rotten.
