Time

Where does the time go??

Just 6 years ago I was reading stories to the little lady!

 

Tonight she read 4 books to me!

Where oh' where does the time go?

It is so fun though to watch her grow up, learn and experience new things.

Book Club

My book club started up again a couple of weeks ago.

This is what we are reading:

We are only a few chapters in, but it is a good book so far and speaks directly to things I need to hear.  I get so worried about being perfect, making sure everything is perfect, accomplishing things, and doing everything everyone thinks I should do that I forget to slow down and enjoy life sometimes.  This book is all about doing exactly the opposite of what I do - it challenges you to s - l - o - w down and take in all that God is trying to teach you and things that He wants you to enjoy.

I am also reading The Help.  I haven't seen the movie, but I hear it is good - so is the book - at least what I have read.

What are you reading??

Life

I haven't blogged in over a month!  YIKES! 

it isn't for a lack of things to say
or photos to share

I have had a challenge in my life.
A challenge so big that I haven't had any clue how to deal with it.
I have had to step back, pray, and seek guidance and try to figure out how to deal with it.

Am I positive that I handled it correctly? - no
But, I feel so good about having dealt with it.

I really don't know how much to say about it other than someone decided to take a little too much interest in my personal life that it was affecting other areas of my life and I have had to learn boundaries that I haven't had to learn before.  Unfortunately that meant changing my blog address and removing that person from as many areas of my personal life as I could so that I could work with them professionally.

I have missed blogging and I hope that you will begin to see more from me!

Hope your week has gone well!

Family Fun

I have spent lots of time with my family lately.  My mom's birthday was a few weeks ago and I planned to take her to watch some of her favorite kind of dirt track cars race.  We've had a really H-O-T and D-R-Y summer, so to say that our plans got rained out seems ridiculous, but that's what happened so, plan B - Mexican food, the county fair and ice cream!

This is my momma!

 My niece and I

 

My nephew and I

My dad and nephew looking at the pigs.

 

 The nutter butter Blizzard - yummo!!

The races got rescheduled for 2 nights ago - we got to go, got 5 races in and guess what!?!  Rained out a-g-a-i-n!!  I hope the 3rd time with be the charm and that my mom will finally get to enjoy the full night of racing action that I bought her for her birthday 3 weeks ago!

More family fun pics to come this week - also pictures from the view point of a 5 year old and a 3 year old.

I went MIA again!

So, I have had good intentions of blogging - I really have, but once again life got busy and then when I have had time to blog my Internet hasn't worked....oh well, such is life!

I even missed the 10th when I give you a list of 10 things or 10 pics - I am sure you are okay with out it and I will just have to get over it.

My niece turned 1 last week!

Here are some pics for ya....

 I gave her some board books - she liked to chew on them.

 Lil' Miss T and her momma!
