Family photos, fun saying and great prints! I love making these.

In our prayers.

2009-04-18T18:29:00.000-07:00

I am asking everyone to please pray for our family and especially Micah. Micah is our 20 month old foster child. He has been in foster care for 18 months and with us for 16 of those months. We love him so much! It has been a long process and as of Friday, I thought we were near the end. The state is filing to terminate parental rights on Monday. He has not seen or had contact with his birth parents for 6 months. Suddenly, the paternal grandmother wants custody. Some people feel blood relatives are more important than foster parents. Obviously, I disagree. I am praying that DCS and the judge feel the same way I do. The grandmother has not seen him in the last 18 months, nor has she asked to. Micah's birth parents gave birth to a baby girl on Thursday. This child has been placed with the paternal grandmother. The state may want to place the siblings together, which we are open to. Please pray that Micah be allowed to stay with our family and that we are able to adopt him and possibly his sister, if that is God's plan. Please forward this to anyone and everyone. We need a lot of prayers. Our hearing is Monday @ 2:30. Thank you! Sarah, Keenan, Sam, Will and Micah

They're Here!

2009-04-16T07:35:00.000-07:00

This has been a three year process. Our bear business has taken off. We have hired a factory to take over. I spent many, many hours preparing bears. I am so thankful for our next step. We have so many new ideas and goals for these precious keepsakes. It sure is nice to have family and friends that believe and encourage you to pursue your dreams.

Happy Easter from our family to yours.

Look what came knocking

2009-04-16T07:25:00.002-07:00

This is a friends back door in Illinois. How Funny! He was politely knocking with his beak. Maybe it's the New Stork. Everyone is always updating their outfit.

Love those sayings...

Happy Birthday Sienna

2009-03-28T11:17:00.001-07:00

Enjoyed a great few days!

2009-03-28T07:37:00.000-07:00

Went to the Oprah Show. We got lucky they filmed two shows while we were there. "How to talk to your kids about sex" & "A show about a 14 year old couple who think they are ready for sex". Wow, the world must be spinning faster. We did have a great time at the show, Shopping and of course eating a few goodies.

Custom words of joy!

2009-03-23T16:21:00.000-07:00

How about a name, a word of inspiration or a life reminder. I could even add your own photos. This is my new Birthday gift for sure. For boys I will do darker colors connected by rope or wire. How about one for the cabin or lake house. How about Gymnast or Ballet!

Fun Frames!

2009-03-23T16:18:00.000-07:00

I know they are going to enjoy these pictures for years to come.

A Once In A Life Time Love

2009-03-15T14:40:00.000-07:00

What a great day. This couple is so sweet. I hope my husband and I enjoy life together as much much as they do. Their sense of humor, adventure and excitement are a real treat! Of course their willingness to dance anywhere goes right to my soul. They don't need music, they just need each other!

After school watching Cartoons!

A pregnancy weekend!

2009-02-28T17:16:00.000-08:00

I love these photos. They are not the same people. And you will never get their names from me. One is having a girl and one is having a boy. I soooo wished I had done this in my pregnant days.

My Super Hero

2009-02-25T17:02:00.000-08:00

SKI TRIP

2009-02-03T08:03:00.000-08:00

We had such a great time. My husband and I had a tradition of going on a ski trip every Christmas (before Kids). We hope our boys will want to begin this again starting next year. Oh, and snow mobiling. They are the perfect age to begin. The dark picture is of tubing-soooo fast. I had my cheap camera (in case of falls), sorry about the quality!

New Year's Resolution!

2009-01-31T12:03:00.000-08:00

I don't know why people set crazy resolutions- like loose weight, break a habit, etc. Mine is to take time out to be lazy. I am doing so great! I recommend starting with baby steps. Weekdays from 4-5 with Oprah is a good start. A little chocolate always helps. Today is "Lazy Day" Still in our PJ's. We went through Starbucks drive through at Noon in our PJ's. We are now getting dress (3:05pm). Daddy just got home and wants to go to lunch and Church. (Our church is doing a series on Marriage-so fun) We are really love it! I found the boys jumping on the bed in Super Hero costumes!

Little Valentine.

2009-01-30T14:25:00.000-08:00

Our Weekend Chicago Trip

2008-12-21T20:22:00.000-08:00

What a great way to kill time in the car. I love trying to capture, barns, nature and Silly sights-all while working on my camera features. I do hear a lot of "Mommy, roll up the window".

The New Lego Land

2008-12-21T20:17:00.000-08:00

The boys were sooo excited! This included the factory, 4D movie, free play and a little dragon ride.

Enjoying Medieval Times

2008-12-21T20:10:00.000-08:00

What Fun! Max asked, "Why is it called "evil" times?" Jake responded, "No particular reason. It's just that you could do whatever you wanted." The boys loved the food. They really enjoyed when the chicken was tossed onto the plate while the sever yelled, "dead bird". I think I will try that at home.

Winter Night at the hotel

2008-12-21T20:04:00.001-08:00

Wow , look at the wind. They got about 7 inches and -4 degrees. We all enjoyed a movie in bed after the pool and hot tub. Oh, I hope we get a white Christmas!

2008-12-14T17:43:00.001-08:00

One afternoon on our fence. Maybe he is not a bird brain.

Don't You Just....

2008-12-04T20:33:00.000-08:00

I spent the evening scanning old photos for a book for our family. What a great gift to give my children one day. Looking at my old photos I can't believe how fast life is going by. Seeing the pictures of my boys so little and my husband sooo enjoying them makes me want another baby so much (we have been trying for three years). I thought of writing a little blurb called "Don't You Just..." So here goes the first one. Don't you just miss your children in a onesie sleeper! They are so snuggled. It's like a child is gift wrapped when they are wearing one of those. I love this picture. It makes me want to smell his bald little head. I am going to go peak at him asleep now. No more onesies! He is a big boy now. Wow maybe a little PMS coming on. Oh great now men will not be reading my site.

Which one for your card?

2008-12-02T16:06:00.000-08:00

Soooo hard to choose!

Love those toes!

2008-12-02T16:05:00.001-08:00
