Our Sunday Pictures (Last Week)

The Beach

After spending some time at my parents we went to Chris' parents place at Emerald Isle.

First Thing - Go To The Beach

Hannah thinks it's fun but Justus is not a huge fan.

Our Sunday Pictures

Hannah calls this one of her favorite dresses!

AND, yes, if you look back I let her wear this year round. It is short sleeve but has some fallish/winterish colors and so... It is a year-rounder!
Love It!

Where Was Justus?

You may have asked yourself..

Where was Justus while Hannah got 8 inches cut off her hair?

Well, of course, he was pretending to paint fingernails.

What else would he be doing?

:-)

Hair Cut

Hannah doesn't like tangles.

Her friend has her hair short.

In the midst of a tangle battle, her friend walks into Hannah's room and says "I don't have tangles."

*sigh*

SO she asked to have her hair cut.

We negotiated and this is what happened.

8 inches got cut off! Wow!

We all love it though. It was fun! Hannah can't get over it!

Let's Go Fishing

While we were at my parents house near the 4th of July a friend of theirs that has a farm invited us out for some finger foods, fellowship, and fireworks.

We hung out near a lake/pond and Chris was pretty excited that they had some fishing poles. Justus was excited too... Until it actually came catching the fish. hehe! Hannah liked watching but did not want to get near one. It was kinda funny.

I took the beautiful scenery opportunity to try to get some pretty pictures. I got a few but there is one thing for sure - - - I am NOT a photographer! :-)

Book Update

I am quite behind on my book updates...

I read A Time To Embrace and I liked it. I will admit that it took me a little while to read it because as I started it, I felt like I knew where it was going and I really didn't want to read about that kind of topic.

But it was great! I am glad I finished it. I definitely think I want to read more Karen Kingsbury books. Thank You Rachel for introducing her to me.

After that I read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. Um. I. Really. Have. No. Words. If you have not read it - read it. Lots of scripture references and illustrations of how to put these scriptures into real life. It is slight parallel to the book of Hosea. Very Interesting. Very Beautiful story and amazing illustration of the love you have for your spouse, your friends, your family, and for God!

READ IT!!!!

I am now reading The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. A use to not read. Well, I read as little as possible - let's just say that. I have a friend named Lee and he knew me when I didn't read and he gave me this book and said I should try it. He thought I would like it. That was probably well over 12 years ago. The horrible friend that I am - I'm just now getting around to reading it.


Also, I am reading (I am not usually reading 2 at one time but there are some extenuating circumstances that caused this to happen) Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond. I am a fan of the Pioneer Woman and love her Love Story (I read a little on her blog before she put it all into a book).

I will let you know how it goes.

Let's Ride A Train

At the mall near where my parents live they have a train that kids can ride in (for a small fee of course) around the upper level of the mall.

Hannah and Justus were so excited.

It's kind of neat but if I had to go to that mall with my kids regularly I would wish it wasn't there! They would beg every time we were there to ride!
