There is Beauty All Around

One day I saw a friend's picture post on Facebook. It was a picture of sunflowers. She mentioned that there was a field of them close to where we lived. I grabbed the girls to take a look. What we saw was breathtaking. None of these pictures capture the beauty of the sunflowers, and I don't have the words to express how blessed I felt.  .

Brynnlee Turns Five

Brynnlee turned 5, and she celebrated with friends at her ice cream birthday party.

They made an ice cream cone craft with paint, crayons,
and loads of glitter.














They played pin the cherry on the ice cream cone.

They took whacks at a giant ice cream cone pinata.

There was ice cream, of course.

Who had a great time?

Off To Kindergarten

How do you wake up one morning and have a little girl old enough to go to Kindergarten? Our sweet little Brynnlee started Kindergarten this year, and I was a total wreck.

carrots, and chocolate pudding

Brynnlee and Mrs. Gullett

Brynnlee's first day of Kindergarten was a success. She had fun and loved Mrs. Gullett. She is doing well, and I am amazed at all that she has learned.  She is a great little Kindergartner.

Drive In Movie

Today the girls went to a drive in movie with a couple of friends, Dakota and Isaiah.  I found some great, big boxes, added some construction paper wheels and headlights, had the kids decorate, and we ended up with some pretty classy cars.  Give them some candy and delicious popcorn, and you have a good time.  Finding Nemo was the featured presentation at our drive in.  And everyone had fun.

Princess Party

Today was a very special Princess Party to help celebrate summer.  Brynnlee invited her friend Ellie over for the event.  These lovely princesses know how to have fun.
