Cement

Nutmeg has destroyed most of our back yard grass area. This should eliminate some hole digging and mud issues as well as give us more room for patio furniture.  A little less lawn to mow too:)

We'll get our redneck retaining wall fixed soon!

Joy in the Journey

Another year older and continually striving to do better, enjoy more fully the beauty that surrounds me, to love more, to listen and understand better, to get rid of things I don't use, are worn out, or don't need, to be kinder no matter the response, to listen consistently to inspiration and always choose to act, to be adventurous and play more, to increase knowledge through prayerful study and Jeffrey discussions, and look for additional ways to serve.  I  have family and friends who I cherish and am beyond blessed~

Another Driver

Happy 22nd Anniversary to us!

We lift and workout together

We play and bring friends along (Flat Stanley too)

We worship and serve together

We adventure and eat together

We love and are so blessed!

Family Dance

Fun family dance at church - love dancing with my boys!

Food bank

I enjoy volunteering at the Food bank every now and then. When I went the end of January, I met a guy who builds cabinets and went home to tell Jeff that we could make our cabinets go to the ceiling and give me storage for all that wasted space:)  We'll that turned into painting, new hvac, and a myriad of other things...
stay tuned for renovation pics throughout the coming months.  

These pictures are when the painters started trimming all our wood white (hence the pantry food shoved on top of cabinets).  White trim certainly lightens things up!

January Fun

 "The Greatest Showman", cute Victoria who helped with my

Sunday school class, and Nutmeg loving her bed from Richie!

 Nutmeg LOVES snow and the boys like it too.

2 times in one winter is rare and awesome!

Love shooting with our cute Kristen.
