Breakfast fun...

Sharla's Birthday...

This is what happens when you say 'smile'.

Dad and Coco made a very fun 'dress-up Mommy' Charade game! Lots of 'interesting' acting and laughs!

My new little friend...

I was privileged to take care of this little sweetie for parts of the last two weeks! What fun we had together! She loved riding in the 'pink' car seat!

She loved it when Jesse did the cow 'moo'. So she decided he needed a little grass!

It has been awhile since I have posted something.  I am busy with spring and love being our in the yard and working with my flowers.  The picture above was taken in our back yard just a couple of nights ago.  It is lots of work to weed and care for this but it sure pays off when you step back and enjoy it.  I am so thankful to our loving Creator for the beauty that is all around us.  Enjoy the posts below as well.

Peace is Yours...

When you have laid all things at His feet,
When you have placed all things in His Hands,
When you have entrusted all things to His keeping,
When you have released all things into His care,
When you trust Him no matter what-
Then the peace that passes all understanding will rule in your heart.

I know the One in whom I trust, and I am sure that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until the day of His return. 
2 Timothy 1:12 NLT

The 'Great Hallelujah'

Jesse and I had the privilege of singing in the choir for the 'Great Hallelujah this past week. It was a great evening of worship and praise under the leadership of Danny Plett. It was a mixtures of choir, special numbers and solos! We loved every minute of it. Thank you for your prayers for this event which was held on two evenings, April 28 and 29.

I had the wonderful joy of spending a couple of days with the Stemples this past week! Matthew and Katie were on spring break while Ellie and Jordon had to go to school. I am very sorry I do not have pictures of them...but I can tell you that Jordon is a very good licensed driver and Ellie is as pretty as ever!
