Freedom!

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. Ours was great! We enjoyed a fun time with our friends and family and ended the night with fireworks, sparklers, and one more round of snow cones. :) I thank God for all of you and our many freedoms we enjoy here in this country. May we never take them for granted and always use them for His glory!! But most of all I praise the Lord for the freedom we have in Christ and that we no longer are slaves to sin if we indeed belong to Him!

Have a great week everyone!

Lovin' the colors of summer!

These are some pictures I took yesterday while out enjoying the warm weather. A dear friend of mine gave me three crepe myrtle trees about a year ago I think and man are they doing beautifully. I just had to share these lovely blooms with you and say thank you again Nancy!!!

She cracks me up!

Just a little potato head fun we had the other day. It cracks me up that it looks like the potato head pirate is looking at her in that first shot! The little pirate ship is the one we made at Lowe's. And this last one is worth framing it's so silly!! Hope you're having some silly times of your own.

Oh the fun!

Jeff just bought this great little pool for us and we sure have enjoyed it. I was looking for anything to get wet in since we don't really want to be outside right now unless we are in the water. He was looking for something that he could enjoy lounging in while playing with Karina too. So this is what he found and I must say it was a great choice. It has plenty of play room in the middle and on both ends there are inflatable seats. So we will be enjoying the outdoors while staying cool at the same time. Hope you all are enjoying some fun times too and having a great summer!!

Sweet times!

Karina and I enjoyed a little mommy and me time at the beach last Friday. Man was it beautiful! I love spending one on one time with this little lady and I know all too soon she will be grown and I will look back on these sweet days together.

Ahoy Mate!

Last Saturday I took Karina to Lowe's to build their free kids craft and as you can see it was a pirates life for these three. My sweet sister was there with her two older kids and we had a blast. It was Natalie and Joseph's idea to wear the bandanna's and we thought we'd join the fun. They were so funny saying they were a pirate family with Karina being their baby. Of course Karina took on the look of a real pirate baby when the pirate daddy was a tad to close in pic #2. So we will caption that with an "ARGH"! :)

knittin' time

Just a little night time knitting I've been working on lately. Man do I love to end the day with the soft clicking of my needles and some lovely yarn!
