High School Graduation

This is our daughter before graduation. Can't believe she is going to college in the fall!!! This all happened way too fast. Where does the time go??

8th grade graduation

Hopefully you can see our daughter getting her diploma. It is very hard to take pictures in the high school gym. They always come out dark.


This is our youngest daughter with some of her friends after graduation last night. There were 180 8th grade graduates.

Friday Feast #145

Appetizer
Name a sound you like to hear.
I like to wake up in the morning and listen to the birds singing outside. I especially like the sound the cardinals make.

Soup
What is your favorite kind of cheese?
I like american.Not much for the fancy kinds of cheese.

Salad
Do you sleep late on Saturday mornings? Why or why not?
I would really like to but it seems I get up at the same time on the weekends that i do during the week days. I guess it is just b/c i am used to it. I am not one that sleeps in too often.

Main Course
When was the last time you forgot something? What was it, and how long did it take to remember it?
It was just yesterday. I had to take our son to the dr. and I forgot to take the wage works card with us. Apparently, i gave it to our daughter b/c she was going to take him to the dr. I didn't remember what i did with it until i got home.

Dessert
Fill in the blank: I notice my house when it is dirty.
**Ok,ok I DO notice my house all the time but I couldn't think of much this morning to post(guess my brain was on idle)lol

What a Morning

We were getting ready for the day this morning and our daughter said she saw a bird in the house. We all didn't believe her b/c there is no way a bird could get in the house. Well.... there was a bird and it was very scared and flying all over the house trying to find a way out and escape from being eaten by our cat. Now, just imagine 3 teenage girls, me and our son screaming, yelling doing everything we can to get away from this bird and no man in the house to catch it and get rid of it. I had to open the back doors and the front doors b/c i was told that they will fly out of them if you keep them open.. Not so with this one.
Our cat was on the prowl. She is a really good mouser and so she was in heaven thinking she was going to get a bird for breakfast. In the meantime, I am trying to get our daughters out of the bathroom and get our son to eat breakfast b/c he wouldn't go in the dining room to eat. He ended up eating sporadically in the kitchen. Our oldest daughter was so tickled by the whole thing she was on the floor laughing and crying at the same time. Finally, our daughter's friend came over and got rid of the bird. Thank the Lord b/c today wouldn't be the same trying to get away from a bird.
I do like birds but i DON't like them if they are in my house. They need to stay outside where they were meant to be.:)

My new stove!!!!!!!!!!!

I am doing the happy dance right now b/c i am getting a new stove. Yes i said NEW!!!! I haven't ever had a brand new stove ever and we are getting one like this picture on Thursday!!!!! It is a gas stove and self cleaning of course. Not too many bells and whistles on it but i don't care, I have my oven back. I haven't had my oven for several months now and it is really difficult to bake in a toaster oven ya know!!!

It Depends Whose Hands It's In

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.
A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.
It depends whose hands it's in.

A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.
A baseball in Roger Clemens' hands is worth $4.75 million.
It depends on whose hands it's in.

A tennis racket is useless in my hands.
A tennis racket in Andre Agassi's hands is worth millions.

A rod in my hands will keep away an angry dog.
A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.
It depends whose hands it's in.

A slingshot in my hands is a kid's toy.
A slingshot in David's hand is a mighty weapon.

It depends whose hands it's in.

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.
Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will
produce salvation for the entire world.
It depends whose hands it's in.

As you see now, it depends whose hands it's in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your families and your relationships in God's hands because...
It depends whose hands it's in.

Saturday Photo hunt-Childhood

I can't download pictures right now so I thought I would use some of my girls that I already had.Looking back at these pictures I realize how fast their childhood goes. One minute they are babies and the next they are almost adults. Time sure does fly!!! They are not in the same order in the pictures. The two on the ends are switched. Our youngest always seems to be in the middle of the pictures;)

Wednesday

Hope everyone is having a great day. We are just now getting back to "normal". My hubby is back to work after having shingles. He also got a second infection in his eye. They thought it was pink eye but it ended up being an inflammed iris. He has drops for his eye and is feeling much better. Ya know if he would've gone to the dr. last week when i told him to go he would've probably been better quicker,but you know men they are stubbron and think things will just go away.
Spring is finally here to stay i think. My lilacs are blooming and i got to plant all my flowers out front. We did purple and white this year since it is our daughters' school colors and our oldest is graduating so we thought we would have some school spirit:)and use their colors.
Well, guess i'd better get to work;) It is suppose to be a really nice day today not as warm but that is ok. As long as it is in the 60-70's i'm happy.
