A Style All Her Own.

This would be called the Crown of Barrettes. And its Emery's new do. She thinks it is the prettiest hairstyle around. And I just dont have the heart to tell her the truth. So she goes everywhere like this. To school, church, the store. And she works it! Today it was 11 very big, very bright, very sparkely heart clips.
Ahh...a lesson in letting your children find their own groove and be confident in it. (I do however tell everyone I know that I Do Not do her hair!!) Piper wasnt really feeling this style.

Big Girl Bed



Someone got a new bed last night! Not because we necessarily thought she was ready for it, but because the bedroom walls were shrinking in. So we built up. And by we I mean Mike. So the kids got bunks and Pips got a twin. After a couple hours of tossing and turning, a couple of rolls off the bed and a late night trip to wallyworld to pick up a bed rail she settled down and slept all night. Nap time went good too.

These arent the greatest pics, but I took them in complete darkness. The silly grin and shot of the back of Ty's head are due to the very bright flash.

Another step in realizing my baby isnt so much a baby anymore.

Procrastination Project


This is what I did last night to put off cleaning the house for the baby shower I had here this morning (pictures to come). Love how it turned out. Clean and Simple, and I can switch out the pictures from time to time to keep it fresh. I did end up cleaning like a mad woman, and got to bed around 1 am. Exahusted now!

A Shower for a Bride.


My girl Angie. The Bride To Be. One of my closest and oldest friends. Love her like a sister. The one I will stand up with as she starts her new adventure called Marraige. Hawaii here we come.
The Tropical Spread and Drinks.


The beautiful roses her man dropped off to surprise her before the shower. Sweet huh!

Beautiful gifts bestowed upon her by her friends.

Her Sisters and new little nephew.

Her bridesmaids and hostesses of the shower.

And the rest of the girls. (and baby boy)

It was yet another quick but fun trip to Seattle. While I was "showering" the kids were playing hard on Grandma's Beach, and Mike was playing hard with my chi-o sisters at the Coug Game. I missed you guys, but glad you had a good time.

"Find Your Wings"

I've had lots of people ask about the song. Im listening it to it now...tears streaming down my face, arms raised in praise, in my computer chair.

It's by Mark Harris. Here's a link if you want to listen to the whole thing:

My Happiness Today; this picture and this song.


It's only for a moment
that you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
for all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
you're walking in the truth
And if I've never told you
I want you to know that
as I watch you grow
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
and that faith gives you the courage
to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
so let my love give you roots
and help you find your wings
May passion be the wind that leads
you through your days
and may convictions keep you strong
guide you on your way
May there be many moments
that make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
and that faith gives you the courage
to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
so let my love give you roots
and help you find your wings
It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer you as you fly
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
and that faith gives you the courage
to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
so let my love give you roots
and help you find your wings

An Ordination

The drive to Seattle late Saturday night was for my Dad's Ornination as a Minister into the American Baptist Church. It was a very special time and I am so glad we made it and were a part of it. Family and friends flew in from around the country to surprise him and support him in what he called "His Homecoming." I love you dad!





My Parents and my siblings (Tyler, Jill, Jennifer, Mark and Me...we missed you Michelle.)
