Clouded thoughts...

It has been a crazy last few days.... seriously.... and as I sit here updating my blog on the official first day of summer break I am listening to my favorite song... "Oh how he loves us" by the David Crowder Band... and all the worry and stress and frustration.... anxiety and pettiness of life situations melts away.... how could they not...

HE LOVES US! ... and oh HOW he loves us, more than anything of this world, totally and completely and absolutely nothing can change that or means more than that...

....and I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about how he loves us...

he loves us

he loves us

he loves us

oh how he loves us all!

so rather than pour out the worries of my heart which was my intention when I logged on, I will place them most gently at the feet of Jesus and get busy counting my blessings...

you should do the same!

and we are His portion and He is our prize drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes...

and I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about HOW HE LOVES....

It's summer time baby!!!

There's 77 days of summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it

Like maybe...
Building a rocket
Or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower

Discovering something that doesn't exist (Hey! )
Or giving a monkey a shower
Surfing tidal waves
Creating nanobots
Or locating Frankenstein's brain (It's over here! )

Finding a dodo bird
Painting a continent
Or driving your sister insane (Phineas! )

As you can see
There's a whole lot of stuff to do
Before school starts this fall (Come on Perry)

So stick with us 'cause Phineas and Ferb
Are gonna do it all
So stick with us 'cause Phineas and Ferb are
Gonna do it all!
(Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence! )

Where have I been...?

It has been super crazy busy and I have actually been dying to get on here and post but I never seem to have the chance... It is an absolutely gorgeous beautiful day today and makes life so grand... Here at home, which is unusual for us, relaxing on a Saturday. Noah had a game this morning and we are back here at the house relaxing. I can't believe we only have two weeks left of kindergarten, time surely has flown and my first school year is almost behind us... can't believe it. I have learned so much from this time with my son, and not just coloring and pasteing and I have built so many great relationships with people, I am not saying that the transition was always is but it was definitely the right choice... love my little guy.
I am getting ready to start cleaning my house a bit, I seem to be doing that a lot! but hey, such as the life of a diva!! I am totally looking forward to summer and all the adventures Noah Croix and I are going to have... it will be a blast!

Doctor Doctor

Here is Noah trying to calm bella down at the Vet's, she hadnt been in a while and she was a wreck!

aww, a little hug makes everything better...

look what was making her nervous!

and then she saw this guy and almost passed out!

Memories

Every day when I leave my little part-time job I drive up Nolte street, the place where I grew up, The house isn't there anymore, but this is the Oak tree that was in my backyard...

love it...

The Walnut creek that ran along side my old house is getting renovations, I grew up playing in these creeks, we were jungle kids...

I am so excited about seeing it restored to it's original beauty, I feel like I am at home when I see all the familiar spots come alive again..

I can remember playing there and glimpsing at all the overgrowth and seeing the beauty of the sidewalks and bridges covered, wondering what they used to look like...

and now I see things coming together and it feels like a part of my life is a picture becoming more and more vivid

i remember climbing around all these railings, running through the thickness of the creek bed and feeling like it was a part of us...

and I can't wait to see it restored to its original beauty...

Having fun

Love these ladies

Here are some of my ACTS sisters! What would I do without these amazing women in my life, I love them....

Here we gather helping with a retreat at church...

There are no words that could explain the bond we share with eachother...

Just me and my sistas

say cheese!

Look at my handsome boys waiting to take our picture for the Church directory...

My loves

My momma

Noah and I took my mom for an early Mother's day celebration... love this lady

Happy mothers day
