Fall 2013


This weekend my parents came to visit us. My mom
wanted to get pictures of the house and of me opening 
the door when they arrived. :)

Here is our house as they are driving up to it...


Our front door...



This is me opening the door to welcome
my parents here :)


I am getting ready for us to go out shopping now 
that they have arrived.


Here is a picture of our stuff that we need to 
make some of the projects we have planned for this
weekend.


This picture is a little blurry because I was trying
to figure out how to use Mom's camera but she is
showing off some of the stuff that we are going to
be using for our projects...


Mom is studying up how to change the setting
on the camera for me :)


Saturday morning we decided to hit a few crafts
fairs in the area.  I love how the sun is highlighting me ;)



Here are a few of our finds (we needed the wreath
frame to make us a new wreath)




And mom showing off more of our stuff that we are 
finding...


We went back to pick up Dad to take with us
to go get breakfast and hit a few more craft shows
and this is what we came home to :)  I guess he
got bored waiting for us and decided to have fun
playing in the leaves.


Of course, we always have to hit Hobby Lobby when
my mom comes to town.  It is one of our favorite stores.
Don't you just love looking at Christmas things???


Mom is having fun looking at more Christmas items.



And here she is showing Dad a tree made out of
newspapers. (For those that don't know 
my Dad, he LOVES
his newspaper)


This sign says "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas"


My dad was having fun shopping with us also even though
craft type stores are not his favorite, Hobby Lobby has
something for everyone!


So many decisions, trying to find the perfect scrapbook
paper...



And picking out the perfect material :)




Now it is time to get down to doing some
serious projects...Here I am trying to take the old
wreath off of the frame so we can make a new, 
more modern wreath...


I finally got it all figured out, now Mom is using
the mesh tulle to make a new wreath for a Christmas
Brunch that she is hosting...



I am working on a project for a Cookie Swap that
I will be hosting next month....


This is what Dad decided to do while we 
worked on our many projects (Nathan was working
so he missed most of the fun)


We decided to take a quick trip to Lowe's before
Mom and Dad headed back home...


We are checking out some kitchen
counter tops for ideas..



And it wouldn't be a fun fall day without taking pictures
in a leaf pile :)


It was so beautiful outside, we got some great
pictures...




And some fun pictures of Mom and Dad also...



You have to have a leaf fight in the Fall...









This is the way to end a fun photo shoot :)


Hope you enjoyed our fun weekend.  I have a few more
pictures for another post :)

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do.  I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that.  There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time.  This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now.  Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?"  Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen?   Now that is something amazing to me.  400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
