wordless wednesday

we've been

berry busy

*grin*

seriously

the other day i met a man who had never had one of these.

well, at least not a fresh one...only the kind that comes in a can.

he wanted to know if they were good.

um, yeah!?

i think i convinced him to buy one...

i think.

 i hope i did.

and..

i hope he enjoyed it.

i must say that i've enjoyed the thought of the whole scene immensely.

im sure there was a complete look of disbelief on my face when he told me he'd never had one.

seriously?!

also,

when i think about it

, it makes me ever so grateful for the many blessings i have enjoyed...

 unknowingly.

seriously.

we spent the 4th of July...

together..

eating watermelon,

 catching crawdads...

and thanking God for the freedom he has given us!

and im not even joking.

(oh, how i wish i had had my camera with me!)

dinner

summer days

trying their hardest to harness a bit of wind power

i love these guys...

the oldest...the brains behind the adventures

the younger... always game and there to back him up.

the youngest...waiting on the shoreline for his turn

little sprouts

i've been worse than a little kid...

peeking out the window

........every five minutes......

...waiting, waiting, waiting...

 for these little green sprouts to pop up

aren't they amazing,

really.

think about it.

wordless wednesday WHAT?!

a baby frog,

of course

we're having a good time...

yup.

guess what...

they've been up to?

DIY Father's Day Gift...

here is the little message the kids and i put together yesterday!

the kids had a blast putting this together

(except for z...thanks to the helicoptor that flew over us...end.of.the.world...screaming etc.)

after brightening  up the colors with photoshop

(i really wanted them to pop out scream "look over here" on my bedroom wall.)

i sent them these pics to wally world's  one hour photo

and had them printed into 5x7's which i will frame in four seperate frames and hang in our room.

if you hurry..

this could be a great last minute gift

and really, you can make any message you want...

and...

if you don't have enough kids,

just borrow the neighbor's

or..

use things that are special to YOUR dad and write your message with them.

you get the idea, right?

have fun!

wondering...

what we've been up to?

stay tuned 

another wordless wednesday WHY!?

everytime i look out the window

i think FedEx is bringing me a prize...

then i realize thats MY van out there!

wordless wednesday WHY!?

a beautiful day

for a special little girl...

and

 her sweet cousins!

for those of you who wonder

this....

became this!

and an old aden and anias blankie became this...

Happy Easter!
