Ecclesiastes 5:18

"...Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8

This is my place to come to help me to 'think on these' wonderful things in my life!

"Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life." Ecclesiastes 5:18

I am so thankful that I can enjoy the life God has given us with my husband and our children!

Gymnastics, Sampson, a toad, and Christa baking




We went to a park for a cookout with old dear friends of mine,
and Christa caught a toad! And a crickett!
We also all saw a family of deer walk across where the playground
was! There were about 5 of them I think, including 2 small
babies :) It was awesome!


Christa making brownies tonite!

First walk/ride to the library!


Kayleigh really wanted to do this! She's been
begging for a while :) the weather was
great today, so we did walk to the library!
Well - the children rode their bikes, except
for Christa, she walked and rode in the stroller.


Parking the bikes was such a big deal for them!


They are *SO* proud! They carried all of their books on
their backs! They had a lot too!


The walk back to the neighborhood ...
it was such an adventure!

It was YELLOW MEATED


So I don't remember planting yellow meated watermelon...
when I cut into this one, boy was I surprised! LOL
But it made the BEST Watermelon Strawberry Lemonade :)

Hair and the love of frogs...


I like this 'do' on Zoe! It just came to me, and
was quite easy :) I only do easy :))


Christa took such good care of the tadpoles! This one has
legs and arms and just a slight tail left, so we put him
in the pond :)


He was SO tiny!!!

Around...


Visiting with Daddy while he had to babysit an office...


Driving around :)


We had to get bloodwork done, and Christa was fascinated
with it all :) When it came time to do her, she wasn't as
thrilled :P

Some more schooly things...


the girls loved playing at this creek with
new friends!


Zoe did a great job with this impromptu 'quiz' - we haven't
'studied' the states at all, this is just how much she had
remembered from the placemats and maps up in the house.
When I asked her later if she knew some of the states she
left blank, she did :) All but about 2. I am so proud of her
self learning!


The girls found this under a vehicle in the mall parking lot,
it was barely alive so we carried it around and took care
of it for a while.
