A New Journey!


Moving Day for Uncle Babe and Gramma Clysta! Wow...this is spectacular!
We were focused moving boxes out of the moving truck and we looked up at the sky and God gave us a beautiful reminder.  He is with us every step of the way. 



A new Journey has begun for Donnie and Clysta.  Donnie sold his home in California and they moved to Phoenix.  I am excited to have family in town.  I am excited to see God work. 

They had some hurdles to jump over to get here.  Babe and Gramma, Miss Roxann & Teri arrived at our house at 4am on Monday morning.  After having Babe's truck towed 100 miles out of Phoenix.  They were tired! 
Life is about to get Toasty!

New Kid on the Block!


Took t-shirts and made little giraffe patches with heat bond. The new baby has two big sisters.



Made baby a little onsie with giraffe patch.

Made some giraffe and elephant cookies too! Wrapped it up and placed it in a basket.


How exciting!  Right now as I prepare this baby gift my neighbor is giving birth to their son.  I was tickled to find out that they are having a home birth.  I have been watching as the weeks go by and seeing the family preparing for this miracle.  Last night I yelled to mom to be "no baby yet!" She smiled back and said, "I am having contractions!" She was busy as a bee nesting. Early this am we saw the family arriving to witness this miracle.

We had the privilege to know Marge a wonderful neighbor and friend who lived in the home before this family.  She was diagnosed with lung cancer and her family cared for her in the home and she died there with her family around her.  I know that Marge would of been So pleased to know that a baby was born in her home. I can hear her now saying "I'll be sugared!"  She was such a hoot.  We really miss that special lady!

Praise God!  We are fearfully and Wonderfully Made! Psalm 139:14

Friendship=Love


Victoria was visiting from Utah!  WE miss the Headley family.  Hannah and Victoria had so much fun playing and enjoying their time together.   I love the giggles.  I love the pure joy of Friendship!

A Sad Day!


We have some very sad news Sprocket died. It has been a very hard couple of weeks.  Hannah has been riding him for about 4 years. Miss Tracy her leader and friend told us he had a stroke.  It breaks our heart.  This year Hannah has had to deal with some life changing experiences with losing some cherished animal friends. We will miss Sprocket.  He was special!

Happy 4th of July!


Delicious Strawberry Shortcake Flag Cake with ice cream we enjoyed on the 4th with the family.

Hannah and her friend Alyssa made tye dye pillow cases.  We are still learning how to tye dye.  The Girls had fun making the design with a fork. Our first attempt did not turn out but we figured it out.

Hannah is having fun caring for her friend's pets.
