Another Blog Share

One of my bloggy friends posted the hard work her son put forth on his "Monster Book". I think we have another Spiderwick author in the making! I love the talent children have pouring out of them! Wow!


I should be back to blogging my own life soon, I have been very sick, but you were able to see some good links. :)

YOU must look at THIS!

This is from a blog I read...and she always seems to find a very fanciful way of putting the most simple things.

She invites you to a little "Wonderland" of a moment. Enjoy.

An Old Friends New Blog

I have been friends with Mrs. Sharon since middle school. I love her dearly and wanted to share her new blog! She even announced she will most likely be homeschooling her sweet son! I am so excited. Read along with them:

Swim Day at Sherrie's House!

Matthew had to be away one day for a while and I have grown so accustomed to having my Mattmos around that he had to have Sherrie babysit me. :) She is such a great sitter! Why didn't I have one that good while I was a child?

Sherrie's pool surely had a workout that day.

This is one of the ONLY photos I have of Elijah because he wouldn't stay above water. He loves the water now.

Photobucket

Remy was very photogenic that day. Matthew got some great photos!

Photobucket

The kids had started out with making water ballons with little water balloons. They were using the jets from the pool filter to fill them up. I have to admit that they were fun and I had a hand in filling some too. Madison had the GREAT idea of using normal sized balloons. It was so funny!

Those balloons were so much fun!

Here is Carter trying to get that balloon tied off. It was hard!

Photobucket

Madison's face in this one...hee hee...cracks me up!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Sherrie and I!

Photobucket

Sherrie grilled hot dogs and they were so good. :)

Here is a photo of the balloon arsenal the kids had saved up.

Photobucket

Look at my sweet Remy! I could eat him up!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Of course there is always some kind of critter to share. Look at this neat caterpillar! What is this? I haven't had the time to sit at the computer to find out!

Photobucket

Shoot 'em Remy! Look at his little tongue in this one. Hee hee...

Photobucket

Matthew did manage to get one photo of them all.

Photobucket

We had so much fun and it made the time pass so fast, too fast! Sherrie, you are one of my favorite peoples!!!!!

Another Swim Day with Renee and Taylor

I have so much to blog. I have really had some set backs emotionally due to money and how much the new job is lacking. We are very thankful to God for this job, but it in no way pays our bills. We are fighting tooth and nail for our home and to dig out of this. Every help that we have thought would come through, hasn't. So just be in prayer for my heart and my husband's stress levels as we walk through this part of the journey.

I just had to reach out to my bloggy friends, again, and ask for those long distance hugs and prayers. It is hard at times.


Taylor and Aunt Renee came over with a sweet friend for a day of swimming. Matthew and I had had a stressful morning and I almost called this day of play off because of the stress. But, we didn't, and I am so glad. Renee always gives me hope and shows me the bright side. Thank you GOD for good friends! My friends have mothered me and helped me through such rough times in my life. They love me even when they don't have to. That is a blessing indeed. :)

This is the sweet friend that they brought over. :) She enjoyed the pool and by the end of the visit she was a little fish just like the rest of them.

Photobucket

Miss Taylor!

Photobucket

All the children that day. Logan was at church camp and we missed his silly antics!

Photobucket

Eli decided to be brave like Alban, his friend, and he stood up on the spinning toy and sloshed around. He is getting really brave in that pool.

Photobucket

It is Taylor, again!

Photobucket

This is "Survivor Remy". Hee hee...

Photobucket

Remy has loved catching the tree frogs that stick to the windows at night. He checks the back door all the time.

Photobucket

Thank you ladies for coming over! I needed it! I enjoy our outdoor meal of veggie burgers and oven baked fries. :)
