I think one of Noah's favorite things to do during the Summer months is to enjoy a Push Up sherbet on a warm Summer day. Yesterday, we had a warm one... 83 degrees, but Noah kept cool sporting his new haircut and having a tasty treat! :)

Kitty Hangout.. :)
Okay... I couldn't resist posting more kitty pictures-- these are so cute!!! It seems someone is always on the computer & Julius loves to hang out while we are on the net.... :)Wednesday, August 1, 2007
Fast Friends :)
Noah is quite intriqued with the new addition to our family... LOL. Our little ball of fur has quite the personality... docile at times, and playful when the mood strikes him. It's been interesting watching Julius tour our house. He loves to hang out in Jeremy's room, the upstairs loft, but as you can see.... he is getting curious with being downstairs today... :)

Our New Addition
We've been contiplating getting a kitten for awhile now as a family pet. We got a call from my Mother-in-law today letting us know that a family was giving away kittens in front of a local grocery store today. We jumped at the chance! Here is our new 2 month old addition, we've been calling him "Julius"--as he is a nice orange and cream color. (I figure orange frappachino wouldn't quite fit... LOL) He's taken a liking to Jeremy's bed & stuffed animal (as you can see!)

My Son is 20 today....
Joshua & his girlfriend Kelsey (at her high school graduation this year)Where did time go? I am taking a walk down memory lane, as my son Joshua turns 20. Can't believe its been 20 years since I gave birth to my first born son. I rejoice in this day-- he is going to do something wonderful with his life, as I continue to pray for him (and all my children) that the Lord gives him guidance, wisdom & showers down blessings into his life today & always.
Happy Birthday Joshua!!!!! I love you lots! :)
::The Donkey::
Ive heard this little story a few times this year. It is a constant reminder & inspiration to me that even though life throws us "dirt"-- we need to shake it off & step up in faith! :)
Enjoy! :) :)
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway;
It just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.
He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well an d happily trotted off! Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more.Expect less.
When life gives you lemons... make lemonade! :)
Enjoy! :) :)

Amazing Grace
This is printed on the bottle of Philosophy's Amazing Grace 3 in one Shower gel, shampoo & bubble bath that I purchased. I not only heard that the product line is wonderful... I really liked the message on the bottle as well. :)
"How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us, becomes one gigantic test, followed by one gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word, grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light".
