Spring Break at a Glance...

Our Spring Break Adventure. It started with...

A chilly track meet...

College Station stop to see DaddyBob and Bill
 Hugging Will's neck as he took off for Haiti...
 A stop at Gorman Falls. It is a scenic place on the Colorado River close to Bend, Texas. Many fond childhood memories from this lovely place.




Next stop was at the Ranch outside of Brownwood. Lots of time to sit and walk in this quiet and peaceful setting. Thinking and refreshing our bodies and minds.


The memories of younger boys and their hands are sweet.
The view from Jan and Michael's back porch. Breathtaking.
Thanks you two wonderful people for fixing us so many meals for the time we had together.
Next stop was at a lake retreat close to Austin. Lots of good time to sit and visit.
Brad and Debra...thank you SO much for the invite!
This kitchen and dining room were so lovely and calm. The light fixture was especially gorgeous.
Good food and fellowship
Snuggling and playing with Lucy the wonderdog
Isn't it beautiful?! Thank you to Dick and Tammy for letting us enjoy this tranquil place!
We watched crazy boys do crazy things
We visited with people that we love...
And more people that we love...
And more people that we love...aren't they cute?
We also watched an interesting game of football with Colt throwing from the top of the pool house to the guys on the jet ski below. Very entertaining.


Wes enjoyed fishing...
I enjoyed this...
Ky and Ben enjoyed this... We all enjoyed family time. I love these two too...
Thankful for the refreshing time spent with family,
and for God bringing Will home safety. Oh...and for Spring. It is quite lovely.
Blessings...Amy

What a cool trip and set of pictures!

Our spring break (this week) is the opposite - all three of our kids went to see grandparents for a week, and Cheryl and I are enjoying a quiet week at home. And our 29th anniversary!

Here it is: One box of Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake mix. 1 semi sweet choc. chips 1 small Half and Half- (use half a cup) 1small carton of whipping cream 1 package of cream cheese Half cup sugar Bake cake (follow box directions), let cool and crumble. Stir together cream cheese, sugar and whipping cream with blender until smooth. Melt chocolate chips in bowl and then add half and half. Stir until smooth. Layer in trifle dish. 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
