Wonderful, Wordless Wednesday

Wonderful Wednesday

My very first lost tooth!  (she said she's been waiting for this her whole, long life)

Wonderful Wednesday - Too precious for words

Our daughter Janai and our little grandsweety Gemma share some love!

There have been so many wonderful photos emerging from our trip to Colorado from all the different picture takers that I feel like I am nearly reliving the trip over again! This one is one of my favorites that I "picked" of my daugther-in-law's blog today. When I saw it I decided that it was definitely a Wonderful Wednesday pick!

(Thanks Heather for being at just the right place at just the right time. It's such a precious photo.)

Wonderful Wednesday~sing with me

I'm having the time of my life ~ And I owe it all to you ~ WOO HOO!

These girls are so much fun and bring me so much joy! We do nearly everything together. I love having them around!

Daddy brought it to my attention the other day how easy it would have been to stop having babies after my 7th was born because I felt at times that I was beginning to run out of gas!

But I am SO THANKFUL I didn't! I am so grateful I kept my heart open to receive more gifts from Heavenly Father. After all, no gift in the world is greater or brings more joy than the gifts that come straight from Heaven. I can't imagine life without them or any of my kids. "Oh, how much I'd miss."

Wordless Wednesday~FALL or Autumn?

By the looks of things, I'd say FALL

Wordless Wednesday~sisters and swimming

Wordless Wednesday~an unexpected visitor

Wonderful Wednesday~A rare find!!

I found these awesome books at a thrift store the other day. They are so cool. This is Geography like I've never seen it. My kids are already pouring over them. (Me too!) Here is a bit of info on them I found on Wikipedia. ~Just wanted to share~

Wonderful Wednesday

Look mom, soon it will be summer!!!

(uh, mom, we're missing a couple kids)

Wonderful Wednesday~I LOVE a good deal

And this one, while small in it's own way, is great enough for me to blog about! For a couple of months I've been checking Scheel's to see when, or if the Sherpani bags will go on sale. No such luck. I've had my eye on this particular one for some time but will NOT pay 40.00 bucks for it. Who would have thought that I would find exactly what I was looking for at a thrift store. I love shopping at thrift stores and have never ran across exactly what I'm looking for and as far as that goes, something I've been looking for lately. This Sherpani bag looks like it's NEVER been used and I paid a whole .99 for it. How cool is that?

Wonderful Wednesday

"Now for the dear, dear country,

Its trees and meadows fair,

Its roses, cowslips, violets,

Whose sweetness fills the air.

"Tis there we hear the music

Of lark's and blackbird's song,

And merry little finches,

Singing the whole day long."

Wonderful Wednesday~A seek and find photo

Four girls are very much front and center, but there is a fifth one hiding herself well. Look closely and you shall see!! (hint-right behind and to the left a bit of the pink dressed girl. She is wearing a green, flowered dress that blends perfectly)

Wonderful Wednesday~Thoughts of adventures

This beautiful piece of scenery is part of the Colorado landscape. Not far from where we were living before moving to our current state of residence.  Someday, soon, we hope to make Colorado our home again!  What makes this place so special to me?  On this day in the month of June several years ago we took our motorcycle up to this very spot.  It was our way of celebrating a blessing.  The knowledge that our 3rd child was on her way.  We have odd ways in which we celebrate events!!  Our goal was to take our motorcycle to the top of the mountain using the 4 wheel drive road that runs along the river.  However much to our disappointment we found that the most of the road was inaccessible because of heavy snow that had not yet melted.  To my great and fearful surprise my dear husband's determination was not deterred.  "We have a way to get all the way up, we'll just ride over the avalanche."  This avalanche had fallen at some point down the mountain and over the river leaving 'views' here and there of the gushing mountain river beneath us!!  Yes, I was on the thick snow that had settled itself over the top of the river.  Trembling in my boots and hanging madly onto the madman riding the two of us to the top of the mountain with only snow between us and water!  It was then that I knew my life with his man was always going to have an adventure thrown in here or there just to make life interesting.  This was only the beginning and I'm sure not nearly the end of the many wild and outrageous adventures we will share together.   He has a way of talking me into most anything and everything.  If you are new to my blog and haven't read about my biggest adventure with him yet then click HERE. to read about it.
