My loves. My laughs. My smiles. My pet peeves. The things that have me saying "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . ."
Just a place to share some thoughts, some laughs & some photos of the most important people in my world.
15 years ago today, God blessed us with our first grandchild! Tyler came into our world, our lives, & our hearts! Since the moment he was born, he has filled our lives with so much love, laughter, joy, happiness, & pride! Mere words cannot express how VERY much we love this kid & what he has brought to our world!! We celebrated a little bit here on Sunday while celebrating Father's Day with everyone and tonight we're all going to Wing House (Ty's favorite) & then to the Rays vs Phillies baseball game!! Where else would Tyler wish to celebrate his special day??? GO RAYS!!!!
Happy, happy birthday, kiddo!! Here's to many, many more!!! We love you with all our heart & soul . . . Gpa & Gma XOXOXO
Haven't had a whole lot of time to scrap in the past couple of weeks. Have kept pretty darn busy with other things, but here are several I did manage to create! Hope you enjoy & as always . . . peace & love!
ago today, I married my very best friend! Today we celebrate 35 years of marriage & I'm so happy that he's still my very best friend in the world!! I love you, babe, with all my heart & soul!!! I soooooooooooooooooo look forward to the next 35!! God willing, huh???
What a FUN day we had yesterday!! We went to the annual Taste of Pinellas which is a HUGE party that runs in conjuncture with the All Children's Telethon all weekend. Here are some favorite photos:
Nothing like fresh watermelon! He's such a clown & I love him! Pure joy! Look at that beautiful face - even with pizza all over it! We came upon a tent that had the most FABULOUS drum circle going on & we were lucky enough to be to join in! I tell ya - this was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!!!!
I entered a kids vs. adults tricycle race! I really had a good time & according to my hubby I kicked butt!! LOL!
Jilli loves her Daddy! Look at that little girl's smile! Isn't she just the cutest?? Her Mom & Dad aren't bad either! ;-) Now this was fun! They had 30 chairs in a circle & asked for volunteers. The only stipulation being that your feet had to be able to lay flat on the floor at all times. So, being the intelligent person I am, I jumped right up on stage! They told us to turn all the way to the right, keep our feet flat on the floor & lay back on the lap of the person behind us. Then they told us they would begin pulling the chairs out one-by-one until all of them were out from underneath us & we would be one continuous circle of strangers holding each other up! Now, I think you'll notice that I had a little boy behind me & I was so scared the entire time that I was going to hurt him! The little kid was a trooper & he made it until the circle fell behind us! Ken, Jilli & I taking a little break from the festivities!
I have so much more to share but I'll keep those until tomorrow! Hope you enjoy & as always . . . peace & love!
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.
You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And give me the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak . Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank You that I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes; that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it!! In Your Holiest of names. Amen!
