Welcome

I am proud of my family. I love Jesus. I am not perfect. I like junk food, particularly potato chips. I work out with my sexy rock star husband. I hate it. I do it for the company. My children make my heart beat. I was once a full time photographer. I retired to loose my sanity by becoming a stay-at-home Mom. I recently came out of retirement to avoid the looney-bin. Please enjoy the funny stories of my family, the hilarity of me trying to work out & find my skinny and the every-now-and-then crafts that I begin but rarely finish.
God Save The Queen.....

Do I smell Spring?

Chris & Alexander mowed the grass Saturday. I say Alexander, too because he really did help Chris with the mower. Chris, the ultimate & consummately patient Father lets Alexander push the mower on the lower bar while he is pushing the top bar. He was so very proud that he was helping that he ran in and grabbed his play safety glasses because "there is grass flying all over the yard, Mom!!"



















The yard looks much better thanks to my two guys! It still has a dead look to it but there are green patches of pretty grass and plump clover all around. Don't you just love the smell of fresh cut grass? That smell takes me all the way back to childhood when my Dad would come home from a hard day of work. He started a small grass cutting business right from our kitchen dinette and worked from dusk 'til dawn. He'd always come in smelling like that and I couldn't help think of those memories when Alexander came in with cut grass on his shoes.

Anyway, that 1st grass cutting of the season always makes me think of 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! If you have been through a rough winter, the spring is around the corner! It's time to shake off the old and embrace the newness of Christ and His love for us!


Today I walked into my bathroom to find two busy 10 month old girls going through the lowest drawer in my vanity. Don't be alarmed, it doesn't house any chemicals, make-up or cleaning products. No, I learned that from my eldest - after a long phone call with Poison Control after he had ingested something that we hadn't used in several years, I now store everything dangerous behind child-locked doors and drawers.
Anyway, they got into the drawer that I put my flat iron, curling iron, blow dryer, etc. And I just found it TOTALLY ironic that they had the best time playing with something that they have no use for. Apart from the fact that they are 10 months old and couldn't plug anything in if they tried (and yes, they have tried!!) they have NO hair!! I had to capture their mischeviousness!!




























love you all!
