"I love the view from up here, warm sun and wind in my ear!"

Life has been incredibly busy as of late......it seems like we never slow down for one second! I recently looked at our calender a found out that not one weekend is open until November....and that's if there will be anything open then!

My sunflowers have already grown 7 feet or more, bloomed and are now bowed over trying to dry out! This is my first time growing sunflowers, so I'm hoping it will turn out! =)

We started out month out with our annual P & R Jubilee Picnic. I directed the children's choir, which they sang two songs. They did a pretty fair job, but I think they could have done better if they had more practices!

The choir itself!

Mr. Candler, Mr. Sanford, Sierra Candler, and Mrs. Sanford teaching people a new psalm!



Some of the crowd....it was an early morning!


The Adult Choir

The Kitchen Crew for 2011! Lovely meal ladies! =)


Our "Team" or whatever you would like to call it!

Next Post: Building of the Playhouse! =)

Did I mention that the weather has turned from being extremely hot one day to slightly chilly the next and has been for quiet some time?!?! Summer, where have your warm days gone? *sniffs* Hopefully I'm a bit more creative on my next post.....or maybe it's just too early for me to be posting anything! I'm off to make coffee.......

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!? {insert grin}

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
