LL Cool G!

Some great shots of G..... here he is on his skateboard...yes! in the house. I have really gotten soft over the years!

Boys and Bikes...Dirt bikes

After about 5 years of riding their Honda 50's Jeff and Gavin had their first "real" accident. I say real because this time it involved going into shock.  Gavin unfortunately had a blind spot with his goggles and couldn't see Jeff coming up along side him at full speed and accidentally turned into Jeff. (T-bone) Jeff's Bike landed right on top of him as did the spinning rear tire that took of a few layers of skin and left major tire marsk that are almost gone now.  So, after an hour and a half (believe me this is the short version) of Jeff being in shock and thinking he had a broken wrist and possible broken ankle (we were very blessed to have some very experinced moms there) all he ended up with was a swollen ankle, some nasty bruising and icky skin missing on his leg! Lesson:  Remember to always wear your riding boots even if you hate them!!! Gavin had some major guilt that day and we did our very best to reasure him that it was NOT his fault. I think he is feeling better about it now. Poor guy. I am so thankful that it was not more serious. 

Above is Jeff's leg

This is G all happy and excited to ride!

This is Jeff's leg all patched up and sitting in the front seat at the drive thru at In N Out!

Remember these?

With Mike's new soft ware I got a little artsy on these pics.

Camryn's bedding......I played around with the colors... the fringe is a lot more faded looking in real life. I like the shadow look like maybe it is in a dark room in an old house.

These were from a baby shower I did for Talia. I just got a little artsy with it. Love the way it looks! Don't you love how the counter stool looks so antique-ish?

I love this

This is from Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic..Did you know that she had to close all her stores but one and her online store is closed as well? So sad. Her line is still available at Target for now. I think Santa Monica is the only remaining one (real Shabby Chic shop). I should take a trip there one day.

Waiting for this to arrive....

Bought this on etsy the other day.

I am finding this to be quite fitting right now.

Have you ever seen this b4? It is from the WWII campaign. I think it belongs in a big fat black frame!

Love this...

I love these verses. They are speaking volumes to me. Isn't it funny how scripture can touch your heart differently at different stages in your life? I don't know if 5 years ago this would have the same meaning for me as it does today.

Enjoy and Endure.

Proverbs 31:10-15

10  Who can find a virtous  woman for her price is far above rubies.

  11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

  12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

  13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

  14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

  15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens

I was going through my pictures tonight and saw this one from December. I don't know how I missed it but thought I'd share. Isn't he cute? Doesn't he look so proud of his work? I don't know if there are quite enough sprinkles though!

This picture makes me happy. I need that today even though today is almost over. I know I have so many blessings and so many reasons to be grateful. Can you see the but coming? But I need a light at the end of the tunnel. I am trying to find an inner strength to call on to carry me through. An inner strength to help me call  on the Lord to carry me through.  I have faith in Him and that this trial is in my life for a reason....it's just that I feel like I have already grown from it and can it now be over? I know tomorrow is a new day and a new start. I love tomorrows.

I wish I were going.....
