Happy and Sad! for mom anyway

July 1st, 2011

Ella lost her 1st tooth

She was soo excited.  All day she would say "This tooth is aggravating me" so off she would go to wiggle it some more.  She was very brave. 

This is Ella sending her dad a message to see when he would be home.  She couldn't wait to share the news.

At 4 years old, Ella lost her 1st tooth.  The best part is she lost it with me.  I was able to see and do the whole experience.  Priceless.  Memories that I will never forget.

So happy for her

but sad because my little girl is no longer a little girl.

Ending of June Fun

Seth is no longer allowed to go see Movies.  Why?  After seeing Cars 2 3D he had to get glasses!  Not really - he enjoyed this glasses for days.  He punched the lense part out, colored the 3D emblem on the side and wore glasses all day for several days.  We thought he looked handsome.  He is the neatest kid.

Celebrating Jeff's birthday.  All the Weddine Men

Jeff's dad - Garrett- Jeff-Seth

Jeff was so proud to have sons that will carry on the Weddine name.

For Jeff's birthday supper we ate chips and salsa.  Well, Ella asked for chips and salsa for breakfast the next day.  What a girl to eat salsa for breakfast.

The entertainment for the night was the box.  Jeff's mom and dad gave him a backpack leaf blower.  Well, in this picture, Ella is in the box.  She  played all night.  We laughed many times.

Happy 39th birthday Jeff

Many more blessings to come your way

I have begun reading The Fitting Room by Kelly Minter.  So blessed to be reading such a sweet, simple but challenging book. 

The whole book is centered around Colossians 3:12.  "  Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved  . . ."

I have a renewed understanding of what is means to be CHOSEN by God

Being HOLY is about our Hearts - This is a gift that was freely given

I have been set apart for God - I have a certain purpose

Well I have a Father who LOVES me but the best part is that He DEARLY LOVES me

I want to see the things through the lense of God's love

So as I continue to read, I am encouraged and feel treasured to know more about the wonderful God I serve. 

The next part of Colossians 3:12 is about virtues.  I hope God begins to chisel away some things that hold me from exhibiting the virtues that we are going to tackle.

The best part of the Book Club is video meetings are online.  I have enjoyed being taught by the author of this book.  The link to the book club is on the side of the blog.  Bloom Book Club

Summer so far

CRAZY busy at VBS.  We had the Big Apple Adventure last week.  Anyone that has helped during 5 days of VBS knows why I didn't post last week.  We were super busy each day.  This is Ella with her bestest grown-up friend ever.  Trisha, you have a dear little one who adores you.  Thanks for treating her so special.

Saturday, we were out of power for 4 hours so we spent some time outside.  This was Ella attire.  Had to take a picture.  She cracks me up.

We decided to give Jeff his Father's Day gifts. 

Ella was so excited to give him presents.

New trick at the pool

They also do a front move. She laughs so hard

This little girl has decided to swim.  She stays under the water more than on top.  She loves to throw the rockets,  rings, pick up leaves for Noni, and just swim.

I love this picture under the water.

Ahhh!  Now we can slow down and enjoy so summer fun



Silly

When you have brothers, this is what happens. . . .
