She's Back!
Yea! Things just aren't quite right when a baby chick is missing! She had a blast in the Kansas Summer Sun! Loved being with her cousin and they loved being with 2 new friends they met--yes, the boy kind--yikes!

My baby; I'll like you forever...
I'll love you for always!
I love this little girls heart...thank You God; she is a gift!
Summer Softball
It's been busy, long, learning and mostly fun! Thanks God for the opportunity to play;thanks Ryan for sharing your gifts. Girls, you have no idea how precious your dad is for spending this time with you--he has loved it!
Summer cousin lovin'
Yes, these little sweeties were cleaning up for me! I don't even care if the dishes got clean. I LOVE Summer for free days and hanging out and Reba reruns and frozen pizza with watermelon! God, thank You for the gift of friends in our family--truly, a gift so precious!

Lake Peeps
Ahhh, the lake...jet skiing with pops while mom hangs on the beach...the sun, the fun, the energy!
We are pooped! On the way home from Kanopolis, the temperature dropped 20 degrees--seriously! We hid under trees from the quarter size hail. Stopped by Mcpherson for burger supplies in the pouring rain and headed home to find 10 drops...thx God for a great day! #thankfulfortheblessings
Erin.Camp Mennoscah.2015
Erin, you are leaving for camp today sweetie pie! I've already written you 3 letters to mail tomorrow. I miss you like crazy and hope you choose to find home early! Ha ha!! Seriously, my prayer is (and I do pray this), you will grow in your relationship with Jesus. You were sealed until the day of redemption on August 25, 2011. You have so many gifts, talents, special things about you. Have fun; can't wait to hear how the week without makeup went😉
Love you, mom!

Foot in thy mouth - MY mouth. Ugh.
Wow! It is 10:20 at night; my oldest just shared her day with me . . . why do people act this way? How her feelings were hurt; how she misses Ms Val (her 5th/6th grade SS teacher) and just share her life with me . . . thank You Jesus! Wow! And, I was just irritated with her when she came home this afternoon and spoke so ugly to her . . . God, forgive me and wipe that out of her memory. I love that dear child & she is such a gift to me - thank You, thank You, thank You!
So, I am sitting her after an evening with some girl.friends (old & new) and cherishing my sweet precious girls. God, I just want to "state for the record" I.AM.BLESSED. Not because of what i have, but dear Father because of the love that has been given to me. God, I pray always for protection over my babies . . . my girls . . . these young women . . . these moms.to.be . . . these always.children.of.mine. I thank You for them. I want Your best for them. Help me to guide them in such a way to show them Your heart and Your ways and that a satisfying life is found in You God. Truly. Only. You God.
So, the big picture is: do not let irritation proceed communication. Love first. Love--active verb-first. React second. Measure twice, speak once. Aha - measure your words and let them come forth without obtrusion in the way (aka "foot in thy mouth" syndrome).
So, did Passport2Purity with Erin Marie. AWESOME!!! Okay - songs were hokey; like really bad. Had to go buy $20.00 cd player at Target because the only one i have is in the car (hot, sunny days are not conducive to that type of listening) and we had an excellent time. Erin talked to me the whole weekend. She reflected, she thought, she considered, she grew . . . she is growing and I (we) are so grateful. It was an awesome time for me as a mom to be able to be with this sweet one . . . I love her so!
For her "fun" activity, she chose to get her hair done and have Miss Paige Wedel do her makeup! Gorgeous and so fun! Erin is just naturally bent that way, so I am praying for wisdom to raise her in a way where she honors God with those talents & desires!
Dear Jesus, give my girls wisdom to be pure in all things. Help them to trust You; to walk by Faith; to love You with all their hearts and to make You First Place in everything. Dear Jesus, help me do the same.
In Your Great name, LORD, I pray!
Amen~
