Happy Birthday Maddie!!

Wow, I can't believe its the big 5! Where has the time gone? Maddie had a great weekend filled with fun and time with family. Oh, and some new treasures to enjoy too! We are all pretty exhausted today with the busy day yesterday and losing an hour of sleep today so I am sure we will all sleep well tonight!







Love and Blessings!

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ... I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:35,38-39

So wrong yet so funny....

Ok, so I know I am EVIL for thinking this is so funny but hey, I have a warped sense of humour, nothing I can do about that. Ok, so this is the scoop--a few days ago Maddie disappeared up to her room for quite awhile so Johnny went to go and check on her. Next thing I know he is yelling at her telling her to get downstairs and face the wall as soon as she got to the bottom step. So she's crying and he's telling her he never wants to see her do that to the cat again. Found out that when he went to go and check on her the bedroom door was closed, when he opened the door he found her strattling Gizzy (of course, the only cat dumb enough to let her close to him, LOL!) smacking him in the head with a whack a mole hammer. LOL!!!! I had to excuse myself to go laugh because it just struck me as HILARIOUS! Granted she shouldn't have done it but what cat lets a kid get ahold of him well enough so he can be strattled and beat? Oy.

Tomorrow is Maddie's birthday party. She will be 5 on Sunday! Can you beleive it? 5! We got a call today from Liberty Christian that I need to set up a screening day for her and they will interview us and let us know on the spot if she is accepted for sure. So much excitement!

Here are a few lo's...



The weather has been beautiful, they say it may hit 70 tomorrow!
Love and Blessings!

"I will praise you, O Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."

Isaiah 12:1-2

Finally getting around to posting a few pics from the graduation.






Love and Blessings!

"No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks."

Luke 6:43-45
