Youth Girls Bake/Dance Party!

-
 Hello again friends! Our second week in our new home has been filled with fun and friends! Blake and I worked so hard painting and repainting to get ready for this eventful evening! It's so much more convenient for us to be a part of our church family now that we're not driving thirty minutes to and fro! We are truly thankful for so many sweet friends! So, the youth guys had planned an "X-box night" last Friday so I gathered up the girls and decided to bake and dance our little hearts out. The night started out by making our own personal pizzas and catching up on life. We then advanced to making the famous Oreo Trifle and fudge chip cookies! I think we all had a chance to get to know each other better by just relaxing and goofing off. Even one of my best friends Shelley got to come! The night progressed and we moved to the sunroom for a dance party! You can just imagine the view that my neighbors had since we didn't close the blinds! I brought out my record player and DJ'd the night away. We danced to many tunes including "I Want To Dance With Somebody," by Whitney Houston, "Girls Just Want To Have Fun," "Rockin Robin," "Beat It," "Brow Eyed Girl," " Hot Stuff," and many others, but of course "Summer Nights," from Grease! Can't you hear the fun? "Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight..." ahah!  LOVE YOU GIRLS, thanks for coming!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
