My Sweet Friend Joanne sent me this adorable Sympathy card....isn't it just so cute!!! I love how she put the little doggie on it, then personalized it with "Sweet Bailee Boy"...This card brought me to tears, tears of Joy that someone cared enough for me to send a Sympathy card. Thank You Joanne...You are a Dear Friend..

Good Monday Evening,

What a day we have had....our whole family plus my sisters family went to a water park thats about 45 min away...Did my kids have a Blast...You bet they did...It was the best thing for us, we needed a diversion to get our minds off of losing our "Sweet Bailee" We did something else recently...We got a a new Chow puppy...Her name is Gracie, she is 11 wks old...tomorrow I will get a picture of her so you can ALL see what a Sweetie she is......Here is a Sweet Picture of my kids with our "Beloved Bailee Boy"...they Love this picture so I put it as wallpaperon my laptop..I hope ALL my blogging friends are well.....((((Hugs)))

Blessings......

Today WE lost are Beloved 10yr old Chihuahua.....His name was Bailee....he was Loved much and will be Missed lots. Pray for our family as we go through this time of loss.

Here is a better picture of the Chihuahua card Anne made for me.....Love it!

Thanks Again, Anne

My dear friend Anne made my day today with a envy FULL of goodies...She was given my name for a letter "C" swap we were recently in together.....She did more then just send me a "C" card she sent ALL kinds of goodies, as you can see for yourself. What a nice way to start off the day...considering the rest of the day went down hill....Our Chihuahua we have had for 10 years is sick and will most likely have to be put down...Then my Precious Emma chipped her two front teeth pretty severely and I spent the late afternoon rushing her to the dentist....Whew....I am ready for this day to end. I know Our Lord never gives us more then we can handle....today was the most I've handled in a long time...This too shall pass...Pray for Emma, she had been traumatized by ALL this...

Until next Time....

Well actually its only Sunday for 55 more minutes....Today was a Busy one...Ken and I are doing Junior Church for about 6 weeks...Our Dear friends the Millers who usually always do it are taking a break enjoying their new baby and 5th Son....What a Blessing to have five boys to pass down your name. Anyways we are filling in for them. Those junior church kids are so fun....

I am one pooped puppy tonight...I want to share a Rak I received from my sister Deby a few weeks ago....Love it!!!! Love the stamp "I'm a Whosoever"

Sweet Dreams Everyone....

My 7 yr old Abigail came to me yesterday and handed me her Blog....She said "mom I have my own blog"...I just thought it was too cute not to pass on....

The Lord has made I will rejoice and be Glad in it!!!! This is the song I often sing to my Kids...No matter what the day Brings, we will rejoice and be Glad in it....Today we woke up to rain, which is a common thing in the Northwest...Oh how I hoped for Sunshine....Guess I will have to rely on the "Sunshine in my Soul"...Have 3 loads of laundry to do, then I have to think of what I will make my Dear friend Kitty and her Family for dinner. She just had a baby and our church provides meals for a week....Kitty and I can relate to each other sooo much, especially in the Laundry department....Three wees ago I took 15 loads to the Laundromat to get caught up...Well a small Miracle has happened...I've managed to keep it up for over 3 weeks....Having it caught up is such a weight lifted off my shoulders...Ken loves it too.....I was supposed to go to a Home School used curriculum sale today, but decided against it...Just not ready to start thinking about school yet, we just started our Summer Break.

Have a Great Saturday Everyone<><

Here's a little secret you may not know about me.....I love to do what this Lady in the picture is doing.....I never get to do it, because now my brother Lorin insisted on taking over the care of our Lawn...It gives him something to do and he does a Great Job of it...

I can't forget the whole gang...This picture was taken back in August...After Homeschool soccer we decided to take a ride to Mt. Rainer....the Day was soooo Beautiful. I had never been there....Wow is God's creation Awesome.... I love doing spur of the moment trips...Then I don't have time to stress about everything I should bring....

Can you believe our little baby Nehemiah is almost 1 yr old...sniff..... sniff

Well I finally took the plunge and created my own Blog...Lets just say there was a little fear when it came to starting this....Its gonna take awhile, but eventually plan to get the hang of this. My sister Deby has a Blog spot she's Apples of Gold has been a Great source of encouragement...Please bare with me because I am the QUEEN of type O's....Thank the Lord for spell check....I made a card last week for the first time in weeks...Its my Chicken card...Let me know what you think. it felt so good to stamp again..

Until next time...
