"You just go with the flow till your feet are back on the ground...."

 So, after having my amazing sister, niece and outlaws out for a visit, we had a great friend come stay that Sunday night with us. The next day found us oot-n-aboot! We had a lovely time going over hill and dale singing, laughing and making brilliant memories! =) 



Day 10: Jamaican Food; 
Jamaican Jerk Shrimp and Chicken, Peach Salsa and Chips
 We are still traveling through the alphabet marking one letter at a time. If we are too busy I usually end up waiting until time slows down. Which that has been nice, this way we are making it last much longer!! I only have 10 more letters to accomplish until I reach the end! I'm going to have to figure out another fun way of making food soon....Below my helpers and I stop for a quick photo making sure we have a snapshot of a great memory! =)

Sometime last month we attended The Renewing the Family Camp out in NE! We had an incredibly wonderful time seeing old friends, meeting new ones and also spending loads of time out in the sun! Abby and Grace held our map the way out...but we ended up going a different direction, as you can tell by The most confused facial expression on Abby!! =)                      

Riding/driving in style!! I'm rather partial about my hat!

Hanging out with dear friends!                                        


There were plenty of skits........                                      

plenty of laughter....                                                      

and grand evening walks!                                              

They have this dear little ice cream parlor...                    

With plenty of things to do/play in there too.......              

Cute kids....                                                                 

and amazing friends!                                                     

Best of all, I got to spend plenty of time with my family, enjoy their company, take the littles on boat rides, get ice cream and so forth!                                                                       




They had family Olympics too! But, me being the photographer had to *whispers* got to *stops whispering* sit out and take a few pictures! =)               






Providence Choir blessed them with one of their songs for our P & R Jubilee Picnic!

My dad gave an encouraging talk.....                             

As you can tell, nobody got enough sleep! It was up at 7 and in bed around 1 to 2 in the morning! 

We ended our time there watching a Dr. Who episode! Yes, we are nerds!! But really cute ones.....I suppose! *shrugs*                                                       

Sweet friends!                                                              

Art                                                                              


Dancing and so forth!                                                                              

Yes, I know I said I would try to be better at blogging, but life just keeps getting in the way of things! So, I decided to live through it until I have an opening! So, here it is! =) Y'all have a splendid week!!

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...
