Lucky Stars...



or maybe not so lucky!?!? Today, when I picked Mackenzie up from school, she looked like this...the story is, she fell on the rocks on the playground and boy did it leave a mark!! She was fine until she saw herself in the mirror and then the drama started...so she requested a ice pack & I offered a popsycle in hopes that it would mend the damage!



So....here we are black and blue!!! And as for the little man...took him back to the doc this afternoon & I am glad to know that he has an ear infection (sorry to say that, but aleast we can gets some meds in his little system)...hopefully, next time I post we will be happy & healthy!! :) Happy Wednesday!

Lesson learned....the hard way!!!




Well, today I found out that our computer is DEAD! Yep....DEAD! Tears came down when I learned that I have LOST all the pictures that I took this past year of my babies!! I have been so upset all day!! I have learned the hard way, but from now on....I will save them all to a disc!!! Here are a few of the ones that I took last week and I still have them ONLY because I had not saved them on my computer yet! Who would have thought that a computer that we had only had for a year and a few months would crash??!?! So, if you are like me...back up those babies..FAST!!!

Happy Weekend & "Keeping your cool when it gets hot"!!!

Hope each of you enjoyed the weather and had a great time with your family!! We sure did!!
We pulled out the good ole' faithful form of outdoor entertaiment..the barbie jeep!!



Mackenzie cheered and swoooshed her new hair do!! (I finally convinced her to cut it back short after she has been very persistant over wanting long hair...she told me she wanted to move to a house that loved long hair..but look who won..I LOVE it short!!!)



We jumped for joy because the weather was P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!!



We had lots of fun on our swingset...



We got our Valentine's ready to exchange with our friends!!

Our ending to a great weekend is always good worship at our church....here is a recap of our message: "Keeping your cool when it gets hot"
Proverbs 16:32 "He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city."
Ephesians 4:26-27 In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."
So are you a bottler, a spewer, or a wise person????

Just simply precious...


and meltin' my heart!! Tonight, when we were saying Davis' prayers...I usually say them and he repeats after me, but tonight, he ended by saying his own little thank you's..."thank you for Mrs. Jenny, Mrs. aura (Laura),Banks, Caroline, Choe (Chloe), Jake, Eee Douglas (Lee Douglass), Lydia, Henry." How sweet is that??! Tears of joy filled my eyes listening to that little sweet voice thanking God for all his sweet friends!!

Mean while, I am saying my own little prayers, b/c this little girl


is back on antibiotics for an ear infection and Davis has pink eye! Tonight, I loaded them up on their gummy immune system vitamins...hope they work! :)

"The Way Up is Down"


I am telling you...Tim, our pastor, always has the best messages and they always hit right at home..this is a summary of his message this past Sunday.
Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.
Trouble yourself for others...& always remember we are who we are, because we have been standing on the shoulders of others.
Matthew 23:11-12 The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
So...have YOU troubled yourself for someone?? This is my challege for the week...I need to work on troubling myself for someone else!!
