Fix it Friday

Ok, I know it isn't Friday, but I have been editing pictures all morning. I Heart Faces has Fix It Friday every week. I thought I'd give it a try. Tell me what you think. I am very much a novice, but I like to learn.

Fall Photo Shoot

This year my friend Jane and I decided to let me do our school pix. So, we took a trip to the country to her mother's house and snapped these shots.

And The Winner Is....

My baby won a first place ribbon in the RA Raingutter Regalia that was held last week. He was so proud and so was I. They get to do it later, so he might just win again. I'll keep you posted.

My Mom's Silouette

RA Rain Gutter Regalia

On Wednesday nights, my son takes part in the Royal Ambassadors at our church. Last night they had their first ever Rain Gutter Regalia, which is a boat race. We have done cars and line gliders, but this was something new. It was a great physics lesson for some because their boats would not even stand up in the water. It was quite comical at times. The boys had fun and the dads learned valuable lessons about boat making. So, what happened was 2 rain gutters were filled with water. This was the race track. Two boats would then race from one end of the gutter to the other powered by wind. In other words the boys blew with all their mights. We were afraid some would pass out trying to get their boats to move just a few inches. Red faces were everywhere. LOL We didn't find out the winners yet, but we will know next week. Tyler's boat was very unique and did quite well. He enjoyed making it. It was a family project, but he sanded and painted it. Then he put the decorations on it and clear coated it. We are proud of our little speed boat boy.

Mom had to experiment with some silohette photos of her boy and his boat. I am learning.

Beth Moore Conference



This weekend a bus load of ladies from my church loaded up on went to a Beth Moore conference. Who is Beth Moore? I was asked this just the other day. She is a well know author and Bible study leader. I have only done one of her studies, Daniel, but it was awesome. The insight God gives her is truly amazing. This weekend was no different. There were over 13,000 women (and a few men) there. The music was totally awesome and God was truly moving among us. If you ever get a chance to go, go. You won't regret it. Enjoy some of the pictures I took.

Muddy Birthday Fun

My children's birthdays are 2 days apart so we have always had a combined birthday party. This year our theme was mud. Doesn't that sound great. We had plenty of it since it had rained for 2+ weeks straight before the party. People were contemplating building an ark. LOL Last year they ended up squirting each other with paint that was meant for paper and that gave me an idea. So, this year we cleared my garden spot and created a giant mud pit. It was a hit. Lots of mud. My garden will never be the same. After playing like pigs for a while, everyone had hot dogs and barbequed pot roast followed by cake and ice cream. Yummy. The weather was just perfect and everyone had a great time. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
