"A domino laid is a domino played!"

The boys and Sid and DaddyBob are in a heated 42 game right now. Just to let you know how much they love playing domino's...they won't stop to eat supper and they LOVE TO EAT! I learned a long time ago that I did not have thick enough skin to play with this group! I can do it sometimes but most of the time I am not serious enough or competitive enough for them to play with ME! Ridiculous. So, I thought I would just document the event with a few pictures and some shots from our dinner last with with Sid's co-workers from his office. Oh and by the way...the sun was out today! hip hip hurray!!!!
Lots of laughing and some thoughts of backhanding a few people at this table.
What is it with domino playing? It is like a cult thing. ha.
We did not play games much when I was growing up. It is fun to see my boys involved in a game they love and I like it that it does not require a power cord to play. ahh...


This shot is of a sweet little boy that was at the house last night for dinner. I think his name was Emerson. He was precious. He had just walked up to Will and grabbed his hand. I thought when he looked up and it was not his Dad that he would run away but he just smiled at Will and went on eating and holding hands. By the time I took the picture he was leaning on Will's leg just happy as a clam. Precious.
Flowers that Sid brought me about a week ago. They have stayed lovely. What a nice surprise that was. Considering that he thought I was about to have a nervous breakdown...it was a nice touch!
Brisket that I cooked in the cooker Mom gave me for Christmas. It was pretty good but looks weird in this picture. That top piece looks like a little bird sticking it's head up looking at the rooster behind the cooker. Wow...I am strange.
Pinto beans. You know how women on other blogs take pictures of their yummy food and post them? I tried, what can I say. This looks gross.
Well...have a great weekend. Planning on sleeping a little later tomorrow. Sounds nice.
Thought for the weekend:
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God.
1 John 3:1
Blessings!

Two things:
1: I've listened to God this week closer than ever before - yet I feel He's spoken louder to me than ever before. Colt's post game comments have yet to leave my heart and certainly played a part in my week as well.
2: A kid at Lance's school in one of the life skills classes was been learning to walk. His reward for walking 50 feet was a personal telephone recorded message from Colt. It WAS awesome. If you'll send me an email address I'll forward the email to you. Praise God for the family who raised him to be the man he is. You all are special.

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
