Happy Birthday Gracie

11 years ago today this precious bundle of joy entered our lives.

oops!

Because Jesus lives,
so can we.

HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!

Spring?

I think I changed my background too soon. Friday it was 70 degrees, today we got 7 inches of snow, and Tuesday it's supposed to be back in the 70's! Crazy Oklahoma weather!

And that is why I still have these sitting in my front room.

At least my peach trees aren't blooming yet; last year we lost the entire crop due to a late snow. Hopefully this is the last of bad weather!

SWEET SIXTEEN

My little girl turns 16 tomorrow. How did that happen?

Happy Birthday Bethany!

We love you!

For since the beginning of the world
Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
Isaiah 64:4

Introducing Casey

We lost one of our dogs a few days ago. He was just a little stray mutt that showed up last year, but had a big personality; and was one of the favorites that we've had. We're going to miss him.






Of course our other dog had to have a new playmate, so the search was on. We found this little guy yesterday. He's a medium sized (hopefully) mixed breed, and about 4 monthes old.


Meet Casey



We are a family that does not have dogs in the house. Cats, okay. Dogs, no. Dogs belong outside. We have 20 acres for them to roam on, they do not need to be in the house! We do have a puppy pen we keep them in till they're fully vaccinated - we learned that lesson a few years back after losing one to Parvo. A horrible disease!



So we get this little guy home and go to put him in the puppy pen. And, we realize very quickly he ain't stayin in that pen! He's so small he fits right through the holes in the fence, so out he came. Should have bought fence wire with smaller holes.



Guess where that puppy's staying?



yep!

Doesn't Jacob look like he's getting a lot of algebra done ? :)

How Much Longer Till Spring?

I know that winter is beautiful...







and fun...

but sometimes it's a real pain!

Oh yeah, I did good.

Of course the last time I did this, it was up to the front bumper. My dear hubby should be pleased with me this time :) Thank goodness for tractors!
