Our NEWEST Family Member!

THOUGHT IT WAS A BABY DIDN'T YOU??? HA...FOOLED YOU!

Meet our new son-in-law aka SIL :)It was a simple ceremony at the court house...It came on very quickly.

They are young & in love.

Our new SIL leaves for Iraq in September & I think this played a large part in the urgency to commit their love.He was a trooper today!

Less than 24 hours after the I DO's

He not only met my entire side of the family....

But also got broke in by my mom on one of the family traditions-

THE GAME OF FARKLE !

Here is OUR NEW FAMILY of 10!

The Oldest-my first born had this memorized as a very young child and tonight I pray this over "my baby" and her new husband.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.

When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.

Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.

But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13

Lord we thank you for our new SIL. We pray that you will remain at the center of this marriage ALWAYS and that you will bless their union. We pray that they will turn to you and back to this verse when there are any signs of trouble. Marriage is hard. The only way through it is with YOU at the center. We pray that they live their lives to please you.

MUDROOM & Toy Room

JOINING Kelly In SHOW US WHERE YOU LIVE FRIDAY! Mudroom & Toy room!

THIS is WHY we have a mud room!!

I know.. The Captain even looks good dirty!I made the coat rack myself!

My sign says "THE MUD STOPS HERE!"NEVER enough room for our shoes!

I got these stackable shoe racks on line from SHELF EXPRESSIONS and there were NO tools & NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED-perfect for me!

We have a LOT of work to do in here. Our washer and dryer are in this room too!

I am so thankful we have a toy room although it is ENTIRELY too small for 6 kids.

The 4 littles alphabet art work from pre-school last year!

You can tell their teacher is a real "SLACKER" as we only got to the letter "J"

Go by Kelly's and check out some more rooms!

Fathers Day Crafting!

I got my inspiration for The Captain's Father's Day present from my friend BEKI.

We got all our supplies from Wal-Mart.

1 hour pictures-$1

Frame-$19

Pack of Scrapbook paper $8

I let go of my "anal retentiveness" for a moment and tried not to stress as I let each of the 6 littles cut and glue-this is a HUGE step for me. I put it together but did not alter even ONE of their creations-I'm proud of me for that!

There was only one hole cut in one pair of pants-pretty good for this tribe.And this is the finished product! I think it turned out FANTASTIC!

We made letters with their home made play dough & then took the pics!

The Good News is, you still have time to make one for your dad!
