Brick Upon Brick

I feel like Faith-Now and Forever was written for me.  This quote sums it all up:
“Real faith isn’t contingent on results. You don’t strengthen your faith by the events around you; you strengthen your faith through trusting Me despite the events around you. You strengthen your faith by belief in Me and taking Me at [...]

Breaking it Down

Someone drove by with their sub-woofer and I managed to capture Kyle busting out his moves to the beat. I was going to tell him he’d look so much cooler with his tongue in his mouth, but I didn’t want to break his rhythm.

My Flick Picks

If you, like me, are absolutely done seeing movies with a half baked story which is just an excuse for senseless violence, here are a couple you may enjoy. I had all but given up hope of walking away from a movie feeling uplifted rather than sick until we saw these two:
Lars and the Real [...]

Ashley Rayne

Awwww…..she’s so cute! And absolutely my favorite niece. She’s got my height and my fuzzy hair.

Fun with BB Guns

Nick has a couple BB Guns we had fun with over the weekend shooting at cans. I’ve always wanted to visit a firing range, so this was a start.

As you can see, I have no clue what I’m doing. The wind knocked over the can the second I fired, so the guys think I scored a hit. [...]

Heart Warmer

I have the sweetest 6 year old in the world. Ok, to be fair, I have one of them. My little man made me such a precious Mother’s Day card. Kyle informed me that the art on the front is called “tear art”. I learn something new everyday.

Kyle Names God

While reviewing The Lord’s Prayer this morning, Kyle started out with “Our Father, who art in Heaven, Howard be Thy Name….”
I’m sure He doesn’t mind.

Mt. Woodson

Jer and I did another hike last Sunday to prepare for Half Dome. This time we tackled Mt. Woodson overlooking Lake Poway. It was far more of a challenge than Mt. Ironwood was, 2000 ft instead of 1000, so we actually felt justified with our backpacks and loads of water.
We had it done in 4 hours, although we [...]

Jenna’s Girls

I’m happy to announce that my little sister, Jenna, now has her own blog. With #2 on the way, I finally convinced her to start one so I’d have an easier time keeping up with my nieces.
Here’s Jenna’s Girls……should be fun. 

Flying Babies

Apparently in India, if you want your baby to grow up strong it helps to throw them off a 50 foot shrine. If you don’t believe me, watch this. And they claim they’ve had no accidents.
Can you imagine what the mother must feel like? It’s got to be the husband’s idea.
