Brain clouds and Senior Pictures



Would love to write something catchy and encouraging but well...I have nothing. I woke up last night at 3:45 am and could not go back to sleep so I got up and messed around and balanced my checkbook and talked to God a little. I am paying for it now. It is nearly 6:00pm and I just want to crawl into bed and shut my eyes.


We attempted today for the second day to take Senior pictures of Will but it turned cloudy again and so we have put it off once more. Not knowing the protocol for doing all of this senior stuff I am probably going to get into a bind about Graduation announcements pretty soon. Will just does not care about pictures or any of that goofiness as he calls it. We tryed to go out in our back yard and take some ourselves this afternoon. HA! He just kept on saying that it was stupid and he was embarrassed. Good grief! This boy just does not like to be in the limelight. I do think that the picture above turned out pretty cute though. It might have to do because I am not sure we can get him to give it another go! All he wants to do is think about college and try to figure out who he could take out right now without there being too much drama. ha. (Oh, this is one of his favorite songs by Jon Foreman.)


Wes has turned into a workout maniac. He is taking his protein and lifting and running every afternoon. Oh...and lots of looking in the mirror at his muscles. Oh brother. He is growing up so very fast and reminds me that I only have two more years to enjoy him! Ha! I'll cherish every minute.




Well, gotta go and finish this supper. Mango chicken and rice and green beans. mmm... then, gotta get some sleep. Blessings.

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
