Sharing some Faith

It's been way overdue for another Faithful Friday post! God is so good and is always good!!! I have been waiting all week for this post! Things have been less than GRAND for us for a few months (since hubby had been on reduced hours and then laid off). But we knew all along God was with us and had a plan! We kept our eyes on him and didn't let it bring us down!!! Hubby just kept doing everything he needed to do for his family! Ranching and side jobs carried us through! All the while being able to help others in their times of need too. This very week, prayers have been answered!!! Hubby is going back to work now! A different location, but close enough we don't have to relocate. We are so happy and thankful! Thank you, Jesus!!!!! What a blessing!!!

I want to share another awesome praise! My sister's medicine is helping control her seizures. Thank you, Jesus! They were so scared of her having a big one, after her stroke and all. With this and her other illnesses, they doctors, said she wouldn't be ok if she had a big seizure. But there she wasn't a canidate for many of the medicines. But God lead them to the very one on the first try! It is amazing! We have gone from 14 and 15 seizures a day, to just a few! Thank you, Jesus!!!!

And I wanted to share with you all. Last week, I didn't get to post and share the great news! God answered a huge prayer, and no biological father was found for Lil K, and all biological and allegged and possible biological parental rights are terminated. So we have fully moved to adoption stage now! It will be final in a couple of months! I can't wait!!!!! Thank you, Jesus, for our gifts of adoption! They are the best!!! My girls are the greatest gifts we have received!

Thank you all for staying with us! Each and everyone of you is a great blessing in my life and I'm thankful for the part you play. I'm sorry we have been absent from blogging so much, but I'll be doing better.

Hugs and Blessings,

A Look Back at our Weekend

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! Hubby had some time off and so we were able to spend lots of time together! Friday, we kicked the day off by spending the day together, doing things as a family! And we had a blast singing in the car! Even though Momma can't carry a tune! We all had fun!

Saturday, morning we were up early and ready to celebrate! Here's a glimpse of our Downtown Area, but it is simply the flags that line the busineses, that I really love! They line the downtown area, as well as down the highway too! They are out infront of all our town's businesses. Just another reason we love Small Town USA! It is really, as if we stepped back in time several decades ago!

Then we headed down to the park for some fun! There was a cute lil Dog Show. And this precious lil dog named, Harley, could bark to Jesus Loves Me! If that isn't the cutest thing, I really don't know what is! It was just darling!!! Of course we were off to have other fun too! They had lots of the bounce houses and slides and obstacle courses, for the kids to have fun with! Here's a pic of Lil E before she was in the belly of this Lizard!

All four of us, over watching the talent show!

Saturday evening it was just a nice evening at home watching the race from Daytona. It was pouring down rain, just a nice relaxing evening! That is after our trip to Wal Mart, and all 4 of us were soaked!!! I haven't seen it rain that hard in a while! But was so glad to have the rain!

We didn't have our Town's Fireworks until Sunday evening! So we had a great time on Sunday. We did burgers and such and hung out with our friends! And then gathered at the stadium, next to the park, and had lots of fun! I am loving the flat bed on Daddy's truck! It made it reallay nice for everyone to sit up on and watch the fireworks!

Hope everyone had a great time this past weekend, and that everyone was enjoying the celebration of America's Birthday!!!! What a beautiful Birthday it was!!!!

Hope yalls week is going well!!!! I have been baby sitting! And that is done me in! By the time they are picked up and I get dinner and baths, I'm ready for bed! Been in bed way way way early this week!

Hugs and Blessings,

Happy 4th!

We have been super busy! But I wanted to stop and wish you all a very Happy Happy 4th of July! What a great day! Remember we are celebrating, America's Independence!!! What a blessing!

We are off and running again, we are heading to town, for the festivities for our community! Sometimes it really is awesome to live in small town USA! Flags out in front of all the businesses!!! It is just wonderful!

Stay safe! Have a great day!

Hugs and Blessings,

Can't believe we are saying Good bye to June already.....

Where did the time go? June has flew by so fast! Faster than one could imagine even! I can't believe now the year is half over (well tomorrow).

We have been busy busy! I'm so glad whatever wasn't working, has been fixed, so that I can start blogging more again! It was really stressing me out! I missed everyone!


What a great pic sister, Lil E! She is always wanting to help and do anything for her little sister. Even though Lil K can jump on her own, Lil E is busy helping her! And below, they are in one of their totes, and Lil E is reading one of her Children's Bible books to her sister. Or should I say making up her stories as she goes! Either way, it is just the sweetest!

As it is getting closer to July 4th, it's all about the red, white, and blue! Do yall have plans for the 4th? We will spending it at our town's festivities and with family and friends! Our Firework show isn't until Sunday July 5, but that is ok.

Below is Lil E being silly as can be, while we were taking pictures!

She wanted to show her new bow, that matches their dresses! They are from different people, but they went together so well! And she loves her Mickey and Minnie!

After we got home, there was something fun waiting! A new toy from Grandpa and Granny. (the inlaws). They had mailed the girls this bounce horse, and it became an instant favorite! Both girls had a blast the rest of our day and night on it!

But it was Lil K that didn't want to give it up! She didn't want to share, and kept on and on and on for many hours! Until bed time! I have never seen anything capture her attention like this!!! And she had the BEST time on it! We were watching Horton Hears a Who, and I guess she thought she was Horton, as she starting turning circles and trying to hold onto that horse! It was the funniest thing ever!!! She is really growing up fast!

I want to send a special congratulations out.

CONGRATULATIONS, to my dear friend Patti! Both of their adoptions were final last week!!! So pround that yall have your forever families now!!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful July! Keep it safe and stay cool!! Whatever it is you may be doing this July 4, please remember what we are celebrating!

Hugs and Blessings,

Our Day

Today was a great day around here! It was super hot! Triple digits aren't for me! The girls love to go out to our park. We have a small lake there (more like a large pond), lots of picnic areas and much more. Plus the play ground. We just had a lot of fun running around and enjoying the area, that is usually way more peaceful and private!




I got the girls dresses, from Cowgirl Creations! Aren't they just the cutest! She is super awesome and just too sweet! We have more outfits to share soon! Even the girls adoption outfits! We will show those once we have gone to court and it is final!

Our hair bows, are from Heavenlee Hair Bows! She is the GREATEST!!!! We met several years back when Lil E was little! And I have ordered more than I can tell you of bows and flip flops! They are always awesome! She is easy to work with and just a sweet friendly all around great gal!

I made the Shredded Beef Tacos, that I put the recipe up for SCT earlier today. Well, you know me, I can't leave recipes alone. We enjoyed them last time too. But this time, I added a package of fajita seasoning and 1/2 package (envelope) of taco seasoning, and about 1/2 tsp chili powder to the mix. They were so yummy!!!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday!

Hugs and Blessings,

I'd like for you to meet.....

Captain Growl

Have you figured out just where the "Growl" comes from? Let me share that with you. One of Lil E's favorite movies is, The Grinch. And we watch this all the time. But to her, it's The Growl. And she is forever pretending to be him! She will even tell Lil K, you can be my dog with those horns. So we have way lots or pretend play at our home!

Anyway, last night I'm cooking dinner and she comes in there and says to me, LOOK MOM, I'm Captain GROWWWWWLLLLLLL. I turn around and couldn't help but get the camera and share with everyone! What a combination! But we had gotten a hooded baby town out and was using it as a cape, and of course the bright green gloves, oh no, they are not gloves to her, they are growl hands! The rest are gloves to wear when it's cold, but these green ones, are growl hands! She even wiggles her fingers like he does!



Have a great day!

Hugs and Blessings,
