THIRTY YEARS!

    I've had the privilege of spending the last thirty years with my VERY BEST FRIEND!  It doesn't get any better than that.............unless it would be spending the next thirty plus years with him.
    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HONEY!  I love you!

Happy 17th Birthday, TYLER!

Tyler is 17 today!  SEVENTEEN!  It happened TOO FAST, for me, anyway.





We celebrated with a cake with an original, "Mandy" design.





There were the pictures with the birthday cake,





and pictures with the special request birthday pie!





Of course, we needed a picture with Rickey (last year's birthday gift).




There were plenty of new gifts





including a cat toy for Rickey, made by Alanna.





But I think his favorite part about the whole day was that  he passed his written driving test and now has his driver's permit!  This means that the state of WA is permitting him to be behind the wheel of a real, live, CAR, with the motor running, ON THE ROAD, WITH ALL THE OTHER CARS!

Congratulations Ty!  We know that this is something you have longed to do before you could even pronounce the word, "CAR", and now it's time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALEX!






Happy 24th birthday to our oldest son.  We are very Proud of you!




Be strong in the Lord
And never give up hope
You’re gonna do great things
I already know
God’s got His hand on You
So don’t live life in fear
Forgive and forget
But don’t forget why you’re here
Take your time and pray
These are the words I would say

LET IT SNOW? WHAT WAS I THINKING?

I think I should have put this flag away earlier.  

 


 When I put the Christmas stuff away, I thought I would just leave this out a little longer.  I thought it would be nice to have some snow in January . 



But now it's February!




Yes, it's pretty.  But now, WE WANT SPRING!

Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
