Scrappin'

I had the day to myself to scrap. It's totally sad that I only got 2 LO's done the entire day. But, I did list a bunch of my stamp sets for sale and made some chocolate covered strawberries (YUM)

How did I ever live without........

This big red fellow? I've been putting off buying a Dyson because of the cost. I've looked at them for years. And thought maybe I would invest in one when my old one dies. Well I just can't kill my other vacuum. I've tried, but no luck. While on vacation in Stone Mountain, GA, there was a Super Target 5 minutes from where we stayed. We ventured in there every other day to get some supplies, food, etc. I happened to look at the Dyson's once again and question; should I or shouldn't I? Well one of the best parts of being on vacation was being so close to one of my favorite stores. But one of the better parts was walking in there on probably our third visit to this store and seeing that the Dyson's were 50% off. Well I couldn't walk away from that deal. And I think the BEST part of all is I love to vacuum now! Love to vacuum, you say?! Who wouldn't love, seeing all the dirt, dust and animal hairs that this big red fellow sucks up.

Sunday Scripture

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

James 1:17

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Happy Birthday America

We spent the morning with our best friends from Broward at their daughter's softball tournament. What a great morning it was. We don't get the chance to see them that often because we are an hour and a half away from each other. But, as soon as we reconnect, it's just like we saw them yesterday. It is so hard to find couples who you really connect with. I mean the wives AND husbands get along and actually enjoy eachother's company. Why is it so hard to find other couples that you connect with. It's either the guys get along and the girls just tolerate each other or vice versa. Anyhow Kayla's team won today, "GO Panther's!"

Next, we went on to a birthday party for one of my husband's co-workers. What a party that was. It was just as much kid friendly as adult friendly. All in all it was a nice time with friends and family celebrating Independence Day!

And before I can forget a few wise words from my 4 year olds mouth today:

*While shooting water up into the air I hear, here is some water for you God. It's nice and warm. I hope you enjoy it! That just melted me inside.

*And while in the shower getting all the yucky sticky sun tan lotion/bug spray/rain drops combined with humidity stickiness off my daugther proceeds to point out that I have quite large bouncy boobies. But, daddy has small ones. And I (meaning her) have small ones too. But when I become a mommy like you, I'll have large bouncy boobies too! Right mommy?

And on that note, Happy July 4th!

Daughter wants to marry Father

The title sounds a little kooky. But, Miranda found this garden and gazebo while we were wandering the Antebellum Plantation in Stone Mountain, GA. She took her daddy's hand and said "marry me." Led him up to the gazebo and kissed his hand, cheek and proceded to dance with him. Pure innocent bliss on her part.

We had an AMAZING family vacation. Quality time spent with eachother. What more could you ask for. More pictures to come........
