Snagglepuss

Posted in Being a Moma
Snagglepuss is a term of endearment that I use to anyone that I love who has lost baby teeth...
Yesterday afternoon. I had two first time snagglepusses
By the end of the evening... these two (Carlie Jean and Eli) had lost TWO of their front two bottom teeth and Cameo lost one of her eye teeth.
:)
What a fun evening.

dry toast

Friends... I am being pulled in a million and one directions right now. I hope to be able to share with you something of interest soon. But for now... I have nothing.
I am dry toast.
I am about to s l o w down though... truly.
I am going to create, to sit, to read, and enjoy the remainder of my summer with my children instead of running.
Bear with me.
Good things soon.
xoxo

Homecoming

Aaron and Amanda Crabb
Yesterday was our churches 70th anniversary, to which we call Homecoming.  What happens at homecoming is that we have a service where we have special singing, preaching and then a meal afterwards.
Let me tell you... What a blessing.
It was so incredible! I wish you could have been there to experience it with us. God's people met and worshiped and God was glorified.
Amazing, amazing day!

Now, I would like for you to come together with me in prayer...
I have already asked you to pray for Mamaw, please continue to pray for her... but I would like to ask you to pray for our dear friend Karen again also. Her family is in need of a miracle... but that is ok, because I serve a miracle working God! He is able! You can follow her story here.
Thanks and God bless each and every one of you!

Something lovely for Moma

My Moma has a birthday on Monday...
She has been requesting a little bag to carry some books in and to take to church with her for her Bible.
This is what I came up with.
Happy Birthday Moma, I love you!

The List

For the past few days, I have realized just how lax I have been in my daily duties....
It first began when I was on Facebook the other night and a friend of mine and I were discussing some unfinished crafts that we both have.  When I realized I have a dress of Cameo's on my sewing desk that only needed one button sewed back on and the dress has been sitting there for 3 weeks, I knew there was a problem!
So there's one...
Then I was on the phone with my Sister and she asked me when I cleaned my house... Well, honestly, I haven't really 'cleaned' in a while. I have tidied and got by, but the house really needs to be cleaned.
And third, a dear, dear friend Lindsey came by yesterday and we strolled through the yard and garden and I was completely embarrassed by how let go my garden has been... So I have to do better!
I have to!
So I have began my list...
-Laundry- working through it now
-Finish new bag I am working on
-Clean bathrooms
-Hoe and water garden this evening
-Read The Tale of Despreaux with the children before next Tuesday when we go to the movies Got a couple of chapters in at breakfast
-Get cages for 4 of my tomato plants and stake them
-Wash and change bedding
-Make lovely dinner Chicken is marinating and veggies are washed
-Clean front porch and back deck
-Rearrange Living Room
-Clean and move aquarium to girls room
kids are handling that now! :)
-Mop floors tonight after everyone is asleep


That is a bit of what I need to do and there is MUCH more I am sure...
But I figure it will get done throughout the weekend.  Besides, if you can't enjoy things and have fun sometimes... what a dull life we would lead.
Blessings, to you friends.
May your Friday be wonderful! :)

Prayers

This is Abram and Gran Gran.
Gran Gran is Shannon's grandmother.
A couple of weeks ago she was diagnosed with lung cancer, it was heart wrenching for all of us because Gran Gran is amazing... she runs around with the enthusiasm of a young person and for her to feel bad is just not normal.
She is now in chemo and radiation, and doing pretty well with both.
I ask you to keep her and all of our family in your prayers.
I love this dear lady with all my heart and I certainly want to have many, many more years with her.
I still have a lot to learn from her yet... like how to make chicken and dumplins. :)

Loving on Daddy

For Father's Day we try and celebrate the weekend...
We went to a cookout on Friday.
The kids showed off their mad skills with some action shots.
Our new little swimmer WITHOUT floaties, Carlie Jean!
No hesitation about jumping right in.
And if Carlie Jean can swim without floaties, then Abram has to be right behind... says he!
My dearest working with our youngest.... swoon.
Another cookout on Saturday... and Saturday evening a little R&R for the Daddy of the year!
And then surrounded by his best gifts ever!
I hope you loved on the Daddy's in your life also.
