Open House continued....

Now that you have had a tour of the inside, I

thought you might like to see the front of the house :)

Another view of the front of the house (the

yard is really coming along)

And of course now for the fun part :)

picture of the food table...I am starting to get it

all set up!

Nathan couldn't wait for the guests to arrive

so he is snacking on some of the food....

I made a fruit flag (since the 4th of July is so

close I thought I would do a red/white/blue theme..

This is a Red Velvet Cheese Ball,

it was so delicious!!!!

Since we are having an open house, I thought

it would be fun to make sugar cookies shaped

like a house...

My Mother and Father-in-law got us an

Edible Fruit Basket....Isn't it pretty?

Nathan was being funny while we were

waiting for the guests

(he kept sneaking food)

Here is our friend Kristina and her baby Kobe

playing with some toys :)

We decided to move to the backyard

for awhile and play Holey Board. (I'm not

sure if there is a real name to this game or

if my in-laws made it up)

Nathan and Kristina are watching Bo and Carol

take a turn at the game...(I am busy taking pictures)

Here is Bo and Carol playing Holey Board....

We had a few more people show up but I

got busy talking and forgot to take pictures

of the rest of the group when they

started arriving. Hope you enjoyed

seeing our little party. We had fun showing off

our house and visiting with good friends.

Miracles and Faith

Have you seen miracles in your lifetime? I have and without a doubt I’ve known it was only God’s grace and Him performing that miracle that the situation changed. I have been raised in the church and have seen many different miracles throughout my lifetime, but one of the more recent ones was when my youngest son was born. He was born at 30 weeks but had quit growing at 28 weeks gestation. He was only 2 pounds and 5 ounces when he was born. Now, I know that science and the medical field did everything they could, but I also know that it is a true miracle that he is alive today because there is only so much that humans can do on their own. It is a miracle that I survived that pregnancy also. I remember being at Heaven’s gates the night before my son was born. I was on bed rest in the hospital for 12 days before my son was born. That is one of the hardest things to go through when you have another child at home that you can’t be there to take care of them. I know that I know tha

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. What is your impossible situation? What is your I need a miracle situation? I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control. We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth. We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious metals that we have without the trials of g

Mustard Seed Faith

With Easter coming up soon I have been thinking about the Cross of Jesus. Most people know what the cross stands for, no matter what religion or non-religion that people have, but I have been thinking about the fact that we can lay our burdens down at the foot of the cross. Now, I have heard that phrase throughout my life, but lately I have really been pondering it. Do we ever truly lay our burdens down at the feet of Jesus and leave them there? My family has had a lot of health issues lately and sometimes it can be a struggle to have the faith to get through situations that you have no control over. My mom and I recently were talking about how we are the type of people who always want to control a situation or at least to be able to problem solve when something goes wrong. It is so difficult to sit back and know that there are no solutions to some problems. However, I know that with the faith of a mustard seed, God can still change the outcome. Have you ever seen a mustard see
