Birthday!!

Today is Liam's and Alaina's birthday party! And since I didn't post them a "Happy Birthday" on their original birthdays, I'm going to do it now. They turned 13 years old and 2 years old!! Soooo, Happy Birthday!!

Remember the fallen.....

Please remember the people who died today, 9 years ago. Keep their families in your prayers.......

Wonderful movie!!

Have any of you watched "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"?? If you have you know what a GREAT movie it is!! I think it has to be my all time favorite movie!! I love how the movie incorporates humor and romance(but not the mushy kind). Also, it has NO bad scenes at all! Yes, you did hear right, none whatsoever!! Even my brothers like it!! Here are two of my favorite parts........


The barn raising and.......

Going courtin'

P.S my brothers DON'T like "girly" movies at all, so for them to say this is a pretty good movie, you know it had to be somewhat good!! lol!!

P.P.S so sorry if it takes a looong time to load =(

P.P.P.S make sure you turn off the music at the bottom of the page!!

Sooooooooo many changes.......

Okay, I know what all of you are thinking right now. You're thinking " Why in the world does she keep changing her background??" Well the answer is quite simple, because I want to get my blog site PERFECT for my WONDERFUL readers!!! I have gone through soooo many but, I think this. is . the. ONE!! What do you all think?? Do you like it?? Pleeeeeeeeease tell me (don't be bashful now). I really want to know........

It has been a loooong time........

Whew, it feels good to get back to posting. For all of you out there who wants to know about our camping trip, here it is, it was VERY VERY fun!! I took a lot of pictures but, my camera card got ruined. So, that means ALL of my pictures are gone........aah!! ;( Oh well, things aren't made to last forever anyways. On another note, my siblings and I made fishing poles out of tree branches!! Can you believe that?? Although, the hooks and line we bought ( sorry, can't do everything ). We had fun making them. I actually caught about 6 little sardine size fish. LOL!! So, altogether I think we caught maybe 15 small fish..........which isn't bad. They were too small to eat though.

Other then that, we made a couple forts out of branches and leaves. Since my brother is a Boy Scout, he likes (and is required) to do those kinds of things. I also enjoyed building them too......who would've known!!

Also, since I was up camping I wasn't able to do my Poem Monday. So, I decided just to do it today. Here is my poem for the week.....

To Do List From God

I ran my life in search of worldly things;
My time and will were firmly in control.
I thought I had no need for what God brings;
I gave no heed to murmurs from my soul.

“You’re planning, doing all the time,” it said,
“But something else is missing deep inside.
Your mind is whirling, but your heart is dead,
So turn to God and let go of your pride.”

I did, and God said, “Here’s My plan for you:
Give your life to Me, and just let go.
Have faith and pray, and read the Bible through,
And you’ll have blessings more than you can know.”

So simple, yet it brings me perfect peace,
Living life for God the way I should.
Direction, purpose, fullness and release—
Life with God is very, very good.

By Joanna Fuchs

This poem, mainly focuses on how much better and more peaceful life is when we move away from worldly things and closer to Jesus.

Christians who remember what their lives were like before being saved can relate to how this poem reveals how the worries of the world and our need to plan and control things can make life very difficult.

When we turn it all over to God, life becomes so much more peaceful and satisfying.

Just something to think about........

Anniversary!!

Today is my parents 16th anniversary!! Sooooo,

Let's all leave a comment and say congratulations, shall we??

Fashionista time!!

I was looking at Coldwater Creek, a clothing store, online and let's just say I love it!! They have soooo many CUTE clothes. Plus, mostly everything there is modest. Sure, there are a few clothing items that are skimpy, but nothing that a undershirt can't take care of.=)I fell head over heals in love with this particular dress........

Doesn't it just spell femininity!! The only drawback is that the front comes down pretty low, but like I said nothing that a undershirt can't fix!! It would look even cuter with these shoes to go with it....

Just to add some color I chose white, but they come in different colors. I found them at a neat website, Zappos.com.

Go and check out these neat clothing stores.........Let me know what you find.


Oh!! And this will be my last post for the week =(. You want to know why?? If you don't I'll tell you anyways, my family is going camping!! YEAH!! I'm sooo excited.....I'll post pictures when we get back. Have a good Labor Day weekend!! I'll sure miss you all.........=)
