Where Alli was born and the kids grew up. Where we made life long friends and decided on nicknames for each other. To say we were excited about going back to see everything in an understatement. We were on our way to Houston to meet up with Larry for a week of fun. Fun for the kids and I and some work and fun for Lar. Even in two years things looked a little smaller to the kids and a little more worn than I remembered. First stop was Casa Ole', our favorite Mexican restaurant, for lunch and to<br />celebrate Makayla's 16th birthday - just like old<br />times. We ran into a neighbor their and visited<br />for a few minuets. Then it was back to the house<br />on Trailwood Court to look around and visit with Ms.<br />Billie our closest neighbor. We went by the park that<br />I use to pull the kids to in the wagon or ride our bikes<br />when they got older. We went to the rec center where<br />we spent alot of time and to the library. It seemed just<br />the same. We all really enjoyed our walk down memory<br />lane. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiathNoL0TLF-8ogv-6RhSJDZVKzBQK-o6GCVSD2uKGxR861I5AP7UF1Wb-aNMjmdpleNjNsMeVtS7V3fu8ScEmXJkUHupj128IJSF0jz9anIXedtjTWu4HbKUpZwTIGuvpczEb5SufNSWA/s1600-h/100_3211.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443753246667397042" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiathNoL0TLF-8ogv-6RhSJDZVKzBQK-o6GCVSD2uKGxR861I5AP7UF1Wb-aNMjmdpleNjNsMeVtS7V3fu8ScEmXJkUHupj128IJSF0jz9anIXedtjTWu4HbKUpZwTIGuvpczEb5SufNSWA/s320/100_3211.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB_CTWtsbna-pWCz3fJhwQa8w-okcHlQvfEoppe1GomOcntgDEX_Y3niawanc0mH5HTXCSVjcODI-nq_bJwvxNv2slFhXhgZpklH5osrn4EGDs_5xs1MCAlkgjTrmeTboHEbq7Epr1f72y/s1600-h/100_3206.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443753243421779842" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB_CTWtsbna-pWCz3fJhwQa8w-okcHlQvfEoppe1GomOcntgDEX_Y3niawanc0mH5HTXCSVjcODI-nq_bJwvxNv2slFhXhgZpklH5osrn4EGDs_5xs1MCAlkgjTrmeTboHEbq7Epr1f72y/s320/100_3206.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHSc9V8tggPzkjy1rEseNin7hIaV1-8dFJvBZQgtZUsqI3U2ELz-ByFunsedSno9VJeAFJD5TP0cbn6AKHVX5ARoWe1y36T3YxOsZu6WUhSzq3NE16VzM-ifmXJogoy5cbmn9IlzFjMkG0/s1600-h/100_3203.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443753234284027090" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHSc9V8tggPzkjy1rEseNin7hIaV1-8dFJvBZQgtZUsqI3U2ELz-ByFunsedSno9VJeAFJD5TP0cbn6AKHVX5ARoWe1y36T3YxOsZu6WUhSzq3NE16VzM-ifmXJogoy5cbmn9IlzFjMkG0/s320/100_3203.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-32811836701972121442009-12-21T20:40:00.000-08:002009-12-21T20:41:25.933-08:00The Making of Our Family Christmas Picture<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ04alwaka1C8vbs-EoisgPi1x89gbWkOXNTfN0GhXNY8Inr66z_Rb-4gSVUDnIRGpArkbcs8-Nim9va1oEoDd423-7cTxtra1bjdro6cZYYO8wXRxyUgsf_uY4ZqOBoPCVc_QIPaPn1UN/s1600-h/100_2565.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ04alwaka1C8vbs-EoisgPi1x89gbWkOXNTfN0GhXNY8Inr66z_Rb-4gSVUDnIRGpArkbcs8-Nim9va1oEoDd423-7cTxtra1bjdro6cZYYO8wXRxyUgsf_uY4ZqOBoPCVc_QIPaPn1UN/s400/100_2565.JPG" border="0" /></a> If we were going to have a family Christmas picture this year it was up to me to get it done. I needed every ones cooperation of coarse and ask that they bring their best smiles but really its me - all me. ;0) Just joking here. Anyway, I used a little tripod that Lar had given me a couple of Christmases ago to take this picture. It has bendy legs so I can wrap it around a tree trunk or put it just about anywhere. On the way to church I announced that when we got home before everyone changed we would try to get a family photo. I set the tripod up on a fence opposite of us and set the timer. I had 10 seconds to run over and climb up on the fence and smile. After several tries I got my technique down and we ended up with a great picture. The kids enjoyed seeing me run for dear life. They know how I love a good picture. In the making of this picture I must thank Makayla for helping me up, Nick for always smiling, Alli for offering to help, and Lar for putting up with the whole mess. Merry Christmas and thank you my treasured family for the memories. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCHDf4MUugs227E_E-roKJ_-4aptghVd-gCNTrUjL-b5XmlfCQBeaGTfykYZJ0WsYVjyp0NW3D_HslzOzDLgT9BYGFPjz2076JQhgid6FamA08d2EbbE68z812U3Yv0e7fkqnvfL6C-PJ6/s1600-h/100_2567.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCHDf4MUugs227E_E-roKJ_-4aptghVd-gCNTrUjL-b5XmlfCQBeaGTfykYZJ0WsYVjyp0NW3D_HslzOzDLgT9BYGFPjz2076JQhgid6FamA08d2EbbE68z812U3Yv0e7fkqnvfL6C-PJ6/s400/100_2567.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrUICW7GzQhQCpSuxVfamfcIRbEPdJuXHmXxKQy3mXSWaD5J1FZ9yOlBg3a3UQrBJ_TO7A6n_XfI6amym1JD_RBuubh9jmuTKd8AViVQyUqL4gHRA7I4C1B52d4pEndDUhUayuqQnC45zi/s1600-h/100_2569.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrUICW7GzQhQCpSuxVfamfcIRbEPdJuXHmXxKQy3mXSWaD5J1FZ9yOlBg3a3UQrBJ_TO7A6n_XfI6amym1JD_RBuubh9jmuTKd8AViVQyUqL4gHRA7I4C1B52d4pEndDUhUayuqQnC45zi/s400/100_2569.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj4Nt75rUwCvNL9UkJfebFR8MkXK0SZhkIfgi7G8uid7p7u7c3hauOgvpxWjB7UIBqFpmO6vAL-lal9qOUyzLzN-_YnrLE0G62r8HotPdf9iwzqNxcJ4l8iq61wgBu6JGbV-G9PTdGE-Pv/s1600-h/Family+Christmas+Picture+2009.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj4Nt75rUwCvNL9UkJfebFR8MkXK0SZhkIfgi7G8uid7p7u7c3hauOgvpxWjB7UIBqFpmO6vAL-lal9qOUyzLzN-_YnrLE0G62r8HotPdf9iwzqNxcJ4l8iq61wgBu6JGbV-G9PTdGE-Pv/s400/Family+Christmas+Picture+2009.jpg" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-73465957564080792872009-12-16T10:10:00.000-08:002009-12-16T10:10:45.502-08:00The First Day of Christmas Southern Style<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO7qzSp-6p6OzQlDlspNkLSwvOKcwOrj1kPsYstoHhvRyM-T1BL3O8n1PP5QKcWDB-YFvKWPQ-lYX1xNIW2g4SGLm3q6nGm2k7Ba_jr5Etg3TjiXuzg__Eq3yfYtw0cXO0GC5a60JqyA27/s1600-h/104_2350.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO7qzSp-6p6OzQlDlspNkLSwvOKcwOrj1kPsYstoHhvRyM-T1BL3O8n1PP5QKcWDB-YFvKWPQ-lYX1xNIW2g4SGLm3q6nGm2k7Ba_jr5Etg3TjiXuzg__Eq3yfYtw0cXO0GC5a60JqyA27/s400/104_2350.JPG" border="0" /></a> Makayla and Nick aka Nan and Uncle Stan N Baum were in the Youth Christmas play this past Sunday evening. Makayla had the lead role and did just GREAT. The way that southern accent was just a flying you would never know she is a Yankee by birth. She has been raised in the South long enough to come by some of it naturally. The other was pure acting talent. She just can't hep it. I kept saying I can't hep it the rest of the evening and into the next day. Until Nan put the nix on it. Hep it - its just fun to say. This has been a great Christmas season and more fun is in store.

Its called On the 12th day till Christmas my Momma gave to me... I thought this would be a fun way to count down the last few days of Christmas together. Each day we change the number as we count down. I put 12 little bags on the window sill and each morning when they come down for breakfast they can check the bag for a goodie. The first morning was a card telling of the idea and a little love note along with a snow globe. Nicks was a Charlie Brown snow globe that he really liked. We have been saying to each other for a couple years now Me- " your a good man Charlie Brown" to which he replys " your a good girl Lucile." So far they have gotten the snow globes, a baby picture from Christmas 1998 along with a couple choc. kisses, a small box of chocolates wrapped up. And this morning each received a coupon - Mak for Breakfast in bed, Nick - we will call him your Royal Highness and salute him for one whole day and Alli she has 1 hour where it is all about her! That was a big hit. They really like the snow on the windows to be sure. It does add a certain something to the whole thing. Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho Only 9 days.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimH_3ws8rWhA9aCTooa_nDmecMEqdoxRhviConoxsVMeH9zsC7gJ4Sy1PRrtBtMFbo-5yUSdX41xFQchVKejAlpjzrgLGkh8SO9hYcxmNMekhCSqYhpzfeeJNW-Cq9Voci3GhLUJ2P36-y/s1600-h/104_2340.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimH_3ws8rWhA9aCTooa_nDmecMEqdoxRhviConoxsVMeH9zsC7gJ4Sy1PRrtBtMFbo-5yUSdX41xFQchVKejAlpjzrgLGkh8SO9hYcxmNMekhCSqYhpzfeeJNW-Cq9Voci3GhLUJ2P36-y/s400/104_2340.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8sewvb7ITXpkC-tIc09JFElD0KLeMor55zod4jEOgwTbePcpFdbT-r8Vmmhsypl2Yd3qiESqQAMK2LQQMFbJqyjyMl4ZSFmbldTCgp7SQ3nrbLIAj077EN_5OavBC1cd5eBo_UKoNnPmU/s1600-h/104_2341.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8sewvb7ITXpkC-tIc09JFElD0KLeMor55zod4jEOgwTbePcpFdbT-r8Vmmhsypl2Yd3qiESqQAMK2LQQMFbJqyjyMl4ZSFmbldTCgp7SQ3nrbLIAj077EN_5OavBC1cd5eBo_UKoNnPmU/s400/104_2341.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIl1PHzpViIjuLYa5LXUNUIKtiiwIfE2p_jtNrMm2us5coOt2AcD39kfOHPo2mEzANuCnuk6UgbAG9BKgHT4WG8U3vhTctBNyEsp54R_NZhpTs4PJ8I1CErBXxMibm2zz86PFq0n4JENun/s1600-h/104_2346.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIl1PHzpViIjuLYa5LXUNUIKtiiwIfE2p_jtNrMm2us5coOt2AcD39kfOHPo2mEzANuCnuk6UgbAG9BKgHT4WG8U3vhTctBNyEsp54R_NZhpTs4PJ8I1CErBXxMibm2zz86PFq0n4JENun/s400/104_2346.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-54709034122965981682009-12-16T09:39:00.000-08:002009-12-16T09:40:24.498-08:00These Three Jingle Bells Rock<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixfr_FOd-wJ8M9ulQjs7bSXKKJAJbuoFadBn_xNhyeOMPy44i4FGrRuzDg2SVVI_xjruiCxaWoVwpaGGMurufmOZtQWQ1ssi3gGftiwfsh6GmloPdpLIspS6qPRjMdPw7GASgO4TPkUdKb/s1600-h/100_2238.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixfr_FOd-wJ8M9ulQjs7bSXKKJAJbuoFadBn_xNhyeOMPy44i4FGrRuzDg2SVVI_xjruiCxaWoVwpaGGMurufmOZtQWQ1ssi3gGftiwfsh6GmloPdpLIspS6qPRjMdPw7GASgO4TPkUdKb/s400/100_2238.JPG" border="0" /></a> Yes, these three put the Jingle in Lar and My bells.

Early in the Morning, Late at Night and Every time in Between. We love them. We offer up our Prayer of Thanksgiving to our Lord Above for these beautiful, healthy, wonderful kids. Merry Christmas to our three Jingle Bells - thanks for the memories and thank you very much for these GREAT pictures. Love you, Moma and Dad. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyt-9-E2oigEcfnGHW-ewODyALv9sgetxx8gS1jjft8SEtlbydjXOA8savL_mbtUNamEO3erH8dgb6cUfn3qREadYhiRPMWFLXePwsamUhROUgGQe00iX4BXBrK9v51YKN3rd9BPxiQio/s1600-h/100_2245.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyt-9-E2oigEcfnGHW-ewODyALv9sgetxx8gS1jjft8SEtlbydjXOA8savL_mbtUNamEO3erH8dgb6cUfn3qREadYhiRPMWFLXePwsamUhROUgGQe00iX4BXBrK9v51YKN3rd9BPxiQio/s400/100_2245.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwfCJf8ZSTIlL9Zn4CVMq9Eh3njcuXT0aFgqI0jJNlBmp3Z4Tl-L0avnTnpqv00-CxHfy5YAuvydj0NcWjawPcSRFgEOy-tVHiOxldBKNpXTs3NORXfZFIysaLJZsXKAQKjXc0mzRnH1Uu/s1600-h/100_2252.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwfCJf8ZSTIlL9Zn4CVMq9Eh3njcuXT0aFgqI0jJNlBmp3Z4Tl-L0avnTnpqv00-CxHfy5YAuvydj0NcWjawPcSRFgEOy-tVHiOxldBKNpXTs3NORXfZFIysaLJZsXKAQKjXc0mzRnH1Uu/s400/100_2252.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Jmnz2K-kfaZn3M9_ErTpJxSlPXdtONx5qZXohIDYpb_PimpJm-zSe_WkTo4x45sEKxYPSWzi5quTF9XEQGQxqs8qLEuXomGfCLkYGL2hkTLv3Df3PKQqv6WldPH8mVnN7QzhfOrVxmLc/s1600-h/100_2264.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Jmnz2K-kfaZn3M9_ErTpJxSlPXdtONx5qZXohIDYpb_PimpJm-zSe_WkTo4x45sEKxYPSWzi5quTF9XEQGQxqs8qLEuXomGfCLkYGL2hkTLv3Df3PKQqv6WldPH8mVnN7QzhfOrVxmLc/s400/100_2264.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-50015964738329082532009-12-16T09:11:00.000-08:002009-12-16T09:12:41.626-08:00Merry Christmas Makayla<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiynYn9m8Bg6PFq5X8L_2f_R3hgrX-18kpivX3jvpKH9wR8MUAoQL-iK6nl8mOMdj_voeEfyxk0HB4WhpwqYdKKLdZEWhc2gmbQ3BjA0yST_0xUmM1wXmQ-V-6_I7nOqiDSmmgjkdm806yH/s1600-h/100_2191.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiynYn9m8Bg6PFq5X8L_2f_R3hgrX-18kpivX3jvpKH9wR8MUAoQL-iK6nl8mOMdj_voeEfyxk0HB4WhpwqYdKKLdZEWhc2gmbQ3BjA0yST_0xUmM1wXmQ-V-6_I7nOqiDSmmgjkdm806yH/s400/100_2191.JPG" border="0" /></a> We raced home from school to get Makayla's pictures taken before I went to work. Clothes changed, "wear that hat you wore on Sunday you look so cute in it", and make up done. Out we go with Belle on our heels wanting to get in on the pictures. Makayla has such a beautiful easy smile to share with everyone. She had fun posing and she would say it was the easiest Christmas "photo shoot" we have ever had. Amen to that sista. She is a dear sweet girl and I enjoy her so much.

Along with alot of loud noises, and irritations to your sisters. Like always jumping out at Makayla and trying to scare her. But mostly joy. Nick is no new comer when it comes to pictures - he is a great photographer and has had I would say thousands of pictures taken of him these past years. St. Nicholas C. Lippert was born 14 years ago Dec. 26th.

We joined earlier this year and our whole family is just so thankful for our new church family. When it was decided that we would have a Christmas party for my Sunday school class I was all to happy to volunteer our home. The decorating started even before Thanksgiving was over. This being our second Christmas here in Mississippi I wasn't sure were I should put everything. So I wanted plenty of time. Well on the day of the party, Sat. Dec. 5th, our whole family worked most of the day getting everything cleaned up and ready for our guests. Lar and Nick and Alli worked outside hanging even more Christmas lights and setting up a place for everyone to park. Makayla and I were busy cleaning (like you do when you have guests over) and baking goodies for the party. When the time came for everyone to get here. Nick stood outside with a flash light and guided everyone to their parking spot. The girls met our friends at the door and took their coats and gifts and food. After we ate we played the Newly Wed game. I think everyone enjoyed it - we had a ton of laughs over the answers thats for sure. Then we went on to the gift exchange and more games. It was a fun night and a great way to start the Christmas Season. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj858pEmAMLRSLWRxjV30Gqh8XAZtV_ZJWJztrGCuhe1g65E6_jF0Y96y-2_hlzYh9BbZNzmw8KFWdZQrgZKIu-jHA-ZMCh2DVW9KszYEuM71okx68xSo6LbYH6-8qBWxVTzOBJV8sKBad6/s1600-h/100_1868.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj858pEmAMLRSLWRxjV30Gqh8XAZtV_ZJWJztrGCuhe1g65E6_jF0Y96y-2_hlzYh9BbZNzmw8KFWdZQrgZKIu-jHA-ZMCh2DVW9KszYEuM71okx68xSo6LbYH6-8qBWxVTzOBJV8sKBad6/s400/100_1868.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo3mhhYEDC1aB3yQwvcdJzCUTP1vosDxL-B9442Tp08pAQmHWhuHMskohiV7SnFw5WlW24wBKTA0ZCY0sP04pvgf4IWGEvNDlBsFrpepip04LtU-W2b83Hm5E7n_odNv5G2rOE51aYZgVl/s1600-h/100_1902.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo3mhhYEDC1aB3yQwvcdJzCUTP1vosDxL-B9442Tp08pAQmHWhuHMskohiV7SnFw5WlW24wBKTA0ZCY0sP04pvgf4IWGEvNDlBsFrpepip04LtU-W2b83Hm5E7n_odNv5G2rOE51aYZgVl/s400/100_1902.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8pOXQ_AuLJkhWxKdQKQXEIHJn-saEhZ-zGq_oGrTRDa9kbAwsGtt68mm91Tfec5LvhkgiDBSRkQaiNSf_57bfj8EkLWZPaIBYnQEUMHgxtcAPJajP_3HKa-cZyx9-Xt5-10ZJFguTBI-h/s1600-h/100_2068.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8pOXQ_AuLJkhWxKdQKQXEIHJn-saEhZ-zGq_oGrTRDa9kbAwsGtt68mm91Tfec5LvhkgiDBSRkQaiNSf_57bfj8EkLWZPaIBYnQEUMHgxtcAPJajP_3HKa-cZyx9-Xt5-10ZJFguTBI-h/s400/100_2068.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-48903938244862749502009-11-10T09:06:00.000-08:002009-11-10T09:07:48.004-08:00My Little Women and I<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv7Xrh8CqfODhTxI1rqburjDGhc-V560xQS9GzXC2AslgbeNzJHr29U_eb27qKXAaUG4-c8MlHGows_zWg1K4ATj1cRbehNUJBu7oJM6o9ea-eseacpjDCvVqdW4n_JBSWUI0E8yJ0Pa7I/s1600-h/104_1444.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv7Xrh8CqfODhTxI1rqburjDGhc-V560xQS9GzXC2AslgbeNzJHr29U_eb27qKXAaUG4-c8MlHGows_zWg1K4ATj1cRbehNUJBu7oJM6o9ea-eseacpjDCvVqdW4n_JBSWUI0E8yJ0Pa7I/s400/104_1444.JPG" border="0" /></a>A dress was bought - an idea formed as I slept. After buying Makayla her beautiful dress Saturday we intended it to be a Christmas gift. She knew nothing of the dress - Alli and I found it together. When I woke up Sunday morning the first thing I thought was wouldn't it be fun for Alli and I to each get dresses and take our Christmas pictures in our new gowns. After church I told Lar what I was thinking and he was all for it. Makayla and Nick stayed at church all day practising for a program they were involved in Sunday night. So that left the three of us free to go back to the Street Fair - Makayla still unaware. Sunday evening right before bed I told Makayla to close her eyes and wait for me in the living room. Everyone watched as I came out with her dress and told her to open her eyes. She could not believe it was for her. We all tried on our dresses and I shared with Makayla my plan. She could hardly wait for the photo shoot. Then the best surprise ever - school was cancelled Monday because of Hurricane Ida ( we were not expecting much weather from it) so we considered it a Holiday - Ida Clair School is Out Holiday. The three girls and I dressed and did our makeup and hair in my bedroom and came out transformed. Nick was a real gentlemen and excellent photographer to spend the next couple hours with us taking these pictures. I have picked out a few of my favorites to share. This first picture I am talking to the girls as if I am Marmie from Little Women. I told Meg (Makayla) to take good care of the family while I was gone and told Jo (Alli) to treasure her hair as it was her one true beauty. She was horrified by that statement. She knew I was teasing - but we did have a good laugh over it. I kissed both Meg and Jo good night last night and breathed a prayer of Thanksgiving for My little women. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ4sQWAXjQxMnhGACdlgzH1Z2OQDX0CILvktDIIIUCTcGMT72ul27v4ZCetmGQaDEh3ulNq54YAMnLAt9u6j-IHwWulKqmvuFFJ_QG7XnKlBr07zuRVPJkzqfiNcBtV8f6cN-0n7CEu3KQ/s1600-h/104_1509.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ4sQWAXjQxMnhGACdlgzH1Z2OQDX0CILvktDIIIUCTcGMT72ul27v4ZCetmGQaDEh3ulNq54YAMnLAt9u6j-IHwWulKqmvuFFJ_QG7XnKlBr07zuRVPJkzqfiNcBtV8f6cN-0n7CEu3KQ/s400/104_1509.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZ7vwgJMy6LMrGhlUBdPEoBfTgiw58ctSe-vUi3d8Vs_CIcSHAolnrN4h3quYmeVB9m6OcBXEujJZKc9t6jpSmpwn-x4j-clmJPmU-Hu4o2NyPzRXACmNYGO7GHzCwh-Ts9vuM2HfQgxz/s1600-h/104_1529.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZ7vwgJMy6LMrGhlUBdPEoBfTgiw58ctSe-vUi3d8Vs_CIcSHAolnrN4h3quYmeVB9m6OcBXEujJZKc9t6jpSmpwn-x4j-clmJPmU-Hu4o2NyPzRXACmNYGO7GHzCwh-Ts9vuM2HfQgxz/s400/104_1529.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGfL5H8VDkSFQzi6IwX0SCvuaXp47tzaORn43FqKelqwLc62Nx4kk-iYEzK6Khes8B-nKt7pCmq-7vdx4iMxLLVXdVhSBbQKKnc3rugPTZcVtht_rN1-EdOoaM6MnI0cfG6pKx2O9zQnJ8/s1600-h/104_1547.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGfL5H8VDkSFQzi6IwX0SCvuaXp47tzaORn43FqKelqwLc62Nx4kk-iYEzK6Khes8B-nKt7pCmq-7vdx4iMxLLVXdVhSBbQKKnc3rugPTZcVtht_rN1-EdOoaM6MnI0cfG6pKx2O9zQnJ8/s400/104_1547.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-89123713464449414182009-11-10T08:42:00.000-08:002009-11-10T08:42:46.769-08:00Makayla's Marvelous Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdVZhqV12gh_vB-d-I-AVpfwbbkeAf8YqCmP81B3iLb-LD_rXkYKAQ578s1HinZmlRoq6eQZ9VGRBdnIsweCtNpbGy5I8pSeDzpMaLoAbcz5nCL-Ib40zeWWMzhY4fOU2cPpjA-3nsAXCi/s1600-h/104_1506.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdVZhqV12gh_vB-d-I-AVpfwbbkeAf8YqCmP81B3iLb-LD_rXkYKAQ578s1HinZmlRoq6eQZ9VGRBdnIsweCtNpbGy5I8pSeDzpMaLoAbcz5nCL-Ib40zeWWMzhY4fOU2cPpjA-3nsAXCi/s400/104_1506.JPG" border="0" /></a> For the love of Makayla this day was born. The idea, the storm, the dress - all were planned as her perfect body was being formed. As much as Alli and I enjoyed this day - and I am still smiling 24 hours later - this day will forever be on Makayla's heart. I believe I was in my late pregnancy with Makayla when I first watched Mr. Darcy and Pride and Prejudice. Kaylynn insisted I watched the first episode - knowing full well that there is no turning back. One of Makaylas best memories is staying up late and watching P and P with me eating those little pink and white frosted animal cookies. The little kids had been put to bed and Lar was out of town - it was just us two big girls together. Makayla is a true lady and has such a love for the Victorian era. When Alli and I found this dress Saturday morning we thought it was beautiful but didn't come home with it. We wanted to surprise Makayla but its hard to buy a dress of this Magnitude for someone. When I got home and told Lar about it he sent be right back down town to get it for her. Im so glad I did. Elegant, flowing and full of joy describes both Makayla and her dress. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7fnO7vTE7CHXxVIUrRW_kF6zSzGdG37QUsQfVG995qVDso2k8aERQbCwMKdjqZWOFo4sO5DlbLCq1l_0U_Tu4juWEhAtGzdTB2TLm56uIuVTGZqOtGnhipoPM629ThVnFdCqMkX_-42o/s1600-h/104_1539.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7fnO7vTE7CHXxVIUrRW_kF6zSzGdG37QUsQfVG995qVDso2k8aERQbCwMKdjqZWOFo4sO5DlbLCq1l_0U_Tu4juWEhAtGzdTB2TLm56uIuVTGZqOtGnhipoPM629ThVnFdCqMkX_-42o/s400/104_1539.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfz05c0yLbTZlY14JOr7Z7F1JJBEgVNlyesLEjF0prNmE5q_-g8uzNAa6SoMUE7wLfZZW6BghQuM8sgLiri4EJzIMFl-e_u78vNUWCjOhaQsWuIEI67aqKMzqmFOlzaDDNTOoS1Quusg_T/s1600-h/104_1570.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfz05c0yLbTZlY14JOr7Z7F1JJBEgVNlyesLEjF0prNmE5q_-g8uzNAa6SoMUE7wLfZZW6BghQuM8sgLiri4EJzIMFl-e_u78vNUWCjOhaQsWuIEI67aqKMzqmFOlzaDDNTOoS1Quusg_T/s400/104_1570.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjapdxI1_40Kc4YCoGTu_QNoVnZWBypDzPMzhXNQm7gfEd7CZkHRpPB3dSZd_doHFcPlC6UFS60kZYA9gFBedSvAN_GgaOVp6PxoTD299qD1s0U5-D_vRAVeWjZ0zJMIncOwQ7vI42ziQwO/s1600-h/104_1692.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjapdxI1_40Kc4YCoGTu_QNoVnZWBypDzPMzhXNQm7gfEd7CZkHRpPB3dSZd_doHFcPlC6UFS60kZYA9gFBedSvAN_GgaOVp6PxoTD299qD1s0U5-D_vRAVeWjZ0zJMIncOwQ7vI42ziQwO/s400/104_1692.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-10917767919792872222009-11-10T08:23:00.000-08:002009-11-10T08:24:12.735-08:00Alli's Awesome Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiCbvq-_gRk1LFu5i7sn3-c4qJn5bepOVem6zvesm1KG3Nd6rmvIjWfg8BF-2DCQtun1N4dwDG34RkO-Uf3mV-kBiTw0DuFN7gkwWQnfPlMvqYCOf2Squ4hyphenhyphen2ddTYhYd5I_eYlb-qujJYw/s1600-h/104_1390.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiCbvq-_gRk1LFu5i7sn3-c4qJn5bepOVem6zvesm1KG3Nd6rmvIjWfg8BF-2DCQtun1N4dwDG34RkO-Uf3mV-kBiTw0DuFN7gkwWQnfPlMvqYCOf2Squ4hyphenhyphen2ddTYhYd5I_eYlb-qujJYw/s400/104_1390.JPG" border="0" /></a> Alli loved this dress the moment her eyes fell on it. The color seemed bright but on Alli it was just right. Alli enjoyed dressing up and putting on some eye make up. I brought out my big jewerly box that Lar gave me many years ago - still filled with most of the jewerly I have ever owned. We picked out some pearls but then Alli found this necklace - it matched perfectly. As we walked around taking picture she would hike her dress way up. Makayla and I would look over and there was one of the "step sisters" walking towards us. Alli is so full of life and had the best time. Nick was a good sport to carry her part of the way and untangle her from the sticker bushes. Beauiful, slim and sparkly describes Alli and her dress.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-X0xDj4LaQpTq8B_nzWvAzJX8TjIn3FwZQntXDaD1gA53FFQ-dqYdW9ZoEPItNfhOmwKppCfjIANLFWRPMJaew5IJl2KKYt26LWvLToBbGa3PeaQMOrjOIQSK4Q0QHxPD-b5i4PjbzRIp/s1600-h/104_1421.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-X0xDj4LaQpTq8B_nzWvAzJX8TjIn3FwZQntXDaD1gA53FFQ-dqYdW9ZoEPItNfhOmwKppCfjIANLFWRPMJaew5IJl2KKYt26LWvLToBbGa3PeaQMOrjOIQSK4Q0QHxPD-b5i4PjbzRIp/s400/104_1421.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglQSvA2nfc40WQNDYAgU0AW84KsosNN7yhlADZwZEc0h-M0_Xjdp9UAZ6_j-kqC8efKodEIznX7mg_cYPdlYEoYFG8NGAHWgVzuL0JNUFMYJYie3k1zKzG_pmr5H41gj8jh78ZK6Esi5D/s1600-h/104_1479.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjglQSvA2nfc40WQNDYAgU0AW84KsosNN7yhlADZwZEc0h-M0_Xjdp9UAZ6_j-kqC8efKodEIznX7mg_cYPdlYEoYFG8NGAHWgVzuL0JNUFMYJYie3k1zKzG_pmr5H41gj8jh78ZK6Esi5D/s400/104_1479.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_QsvL_QGkwcsyEmIjlE0QfzMScoqR9sDbvkuoIYAMs2-HexA7M-ALC00Lg5ecK4zMbpH63RZUS7FHVAYV7HwbVvYKo3yzygf-H1jVk3GbkAvzTTmueGi2qOZq1eUA2Sco01Hg5ryFDR4D/s1600-h/104_1617.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_QsvL_QGkwcsyEmIjlE0QfzMScoqR9sDbvkuoIYAMs2-HexA7M-ALC00Lg5ecK4zMbpH63RZUS7FHVAYV7HwbVvYKo3yzygf-H1jVk3GbkAvzTTmueGi2qOZq1eUA2Sco01Hg5ryFDR4D/s400/104_1617.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-62249792767936149562009-11-10T08:09:00.000-08:002009-11-10T08:10:21.405-08:00Bonnie's Beautiful Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4_30iW-Gsa0mff8UR1oEGVtkSPdPAVhoPtPdK08Sn1p_y7JqA0AV_97NiHSKzHlTD7LhiSjqGdkywjuzN1yypSYag0zaWzbZb5HWRFPmkMaWyBIs36xWVBWaRYg5wUnwB4ZTivDu7FXiW/s1600-h/104_1549.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4_30iW-Gsa0mff8UR1oEGVtkSPdPAVhoPtPdK08Sn1p_y7JqA0AV_97NiHSKzHlTD7LhiSjqGdkywjuzN1yypSYag0zaWzbZb5HWRFPmkMaWyBIs36xWVBWaRYg5wUnwB4ZTivDu7FXiW/s400/104_1549.JPG" border="0" /></a> As the girls and I put on our dresses and looked at each other - we just laughed - it seemed like our dresses really fit our personalities. The funny part is we found these dresses at the Street Fair this weekend for 25.00 each and really only had a few to choose from. If we had 100's to choose from I don't think we would have been any happier than with the ones we came home with. The main thing I wanted in my dress was a big full skirt. I have never worn a gown before other than my wedding dress - so a big skirt was a must! I am so thankful for my two girls and a chance to play dress up with them. I would describe my dress and I as playful. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnm2IuepsYjOxfIkARiYg2HvumTVHuARCi6vaJxXeC7JHiBlQ0xlPcJvvfBrIaXb4GA-zt9z8rwbAieDVO02XJu4JIRMM4TATiY9Ph6W46FXbSTPKc9ajkWbWnQlS6sNw1knp6h9OM1rOE/s1600-h/104_1579.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnm2IuepsYjOxfIkARiYg2HvumTVHuARCi6vaJxXeC7JHiBlQ0xlPcJvvfBrIaXb4GA-zt9z8rwbAieDVO02XJu4JIRMM4TATiY9Ph6W46FXbSTPKc9ajkWbWnQlS6sNw1knp6h9OM1rOE/s400/104_1579.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy6sYEtB-GABWavuQWUR3Gwo-wFixa0mHGEyeHA2et98zHP9wuEUS6ld6mw3DZkppwzGYUpw9rzKmC3FiSjnNfgWHi-J6TkXQ6MFqWGVisIv-6uGM-jOsk5LxIp9GCR1SJjsLXYHUi0Jog/s1600-h/104_1628.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy6sYEtB-GABWavuQWUR3Gwo-wFixa0mHGEyeHA2et98zHP9wuEUS6ld6mw3DZkppwzGYUpw9rzKmC3FiSjnNfgWHi-J6TkXQ6MFqWGVisIv-6uGM-jOsk5LxIp9GCR1SJjsLXYHUi0Jog/s400/104_1628.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglaPGhPZgH_L8Vj3jvLP8-vRHbOrn8Qqe8JSibQqWUXtvLdzZEoPeN5rmYjVM1UV-KyFRvDByTPOFfCoEXfaops81xF0pactWTJpbI2JkSYiKW3qtMk5RHPOQiUk8SzSQ56BKson8hDC7G/s1600-h/104_1656.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglaPGhPZgH_L8Vj3jvLP8-vRHbOrn8Qqe8JSibQqWUXtvLdzZEoPeN5rmYjVM1UV-KyFRvDByTPOFfCoEXfaops81xF0pactWTJpbI2JkSYiKW3qtMk5RHPOQiUk8SzSQ56BKson8hDC7G/s400/104_1656.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-42657430517923536352009-11-10T07:40:00.000-08:002009-11-10T07:40:53.466-08:00Fall Fest 2009We had a great time at the fall fest this year at church.

It was decided after much thought that Nick would be Capt. Kirk of the Star ship Enterprise and that the girls would be Hippie Chicks. Im not sure what I was but wanted to dress up just the same. Nick and his friend Jonathan ran the greased pig contest and the little kids loved running after those little fellas. Alot of running not much catching. Makayla and I ran the Ping Pong ball in a Mug booth. This was Alli's last fall fest as a "kid" - 6th grade. Since this has been one of her favorite games at the fall fest over the years Makayla and I hosted it in honor of Alli. The idea is to stand behind the hay bail and toss up to six ping pong balls - one at a time - into a mug. If it lands in one of the mugs you can pick any mug that you want. The kids just love this game and it was a big hit. Lar was all dressed up in a suit and tie and pasted out Bibles for the Gideons. He had fun visiting with everyone that came by and getting to be involved. We are so thankful for our friends and family at Union Baptist Church and getting to be involved as a family. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPw1waWMKnbV5KqQgE3-NGRa7DuHeNAe9SUkCFXB2ur3c-sl_Wu6VqpJ1_lZBpgXQlRbgmS3lr843csRXwZL6JLc-t4owFgukWBb2TEetcpRSVGauQK4x8A3pFzZNarZN_WGZwW1Zh8gZG/s1600-h/100_1260.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPw1waWMKnbV5KqQgE3-NGRa7DuHeNAe9SUkCFXB2ur3c-sl_Wu6VqpJ1_lZBpgXQlRbgmS3lr843csRXwZL6JLc-t4owFgukWBb2TEetcpRSVGauQK4x8A3pFzZNarZN_WGZwW1Zh8gZG/s400/100_1260.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYAw4q6pwe3M-Klm_XfkBXGiQytDaUjDKx5CiOkt5I4ug8AzLq8jiBIMi2S35c0__9gILej9O_tlrHPNJAMAKs_m4MOF_oa7wj4MJV7eq8gU08fdNXOkUAepyqaS4MrAZ4j4T1vXcRzX43/s1600-h/100_1272.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYAw4q6pwe3M-Klm_XfkBXGiQytDaUjDKx5CiOkt5I4ug8AzLq8jiBIMi2S35c0__9gILej9O_tlrHPNJAMAKs_m4MOF_oa7wj4MJV7eq8gU08fdNXOkUAepyqaS4MrAZ4j4T1vXcRzX43/s400/100_1272.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWkAIsyuJNq26kVh0XHFCkvtCgPKcpdu_U28dwWZl9eXGZ0H9JczI_fds-ekrQzZNvqtcKKCfhrb6n2d-l5KRwX3sV9X3WquRchoVgB3wvF1avN76hvZ5Kijzx0uZG3HhiPgLjRENNAfR/s1600-h/100_1279.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWkAIsyuJNq26kVh0XHFCkvtCgPKcpdu_U28dwWZl9eXGZ0H9JczI_fds-ekrQzZNvqtcKKCfhrb6n2d-l5KRwX3sV9X3WquRchoVgB3wvF1avN76hvZ5Kijzx0uZG3HhiPgLjRENNAfR/s400/100_1279.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-48100756210511662242009-10-03T10:08:00.000-07:002009-10-03T10:08:43.028-07:00Running for the fun of it...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIv-rAT3dgPlJe4OBtBCVRjzNV460TXAopr6mzPfIIMgRCMP0IRq-1t7KAlGY0Iikj7-126Zw6jN4eMQqI6GQBlQBw8ui3eRJbdQIEbyghsEjwfNSNyBCCH9_vvCKpc3ln4BIy3JDC_-J/s1600-h/100_1022.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIv-rAT3dgPlJe4OBtBCVRjzNV460TXAopr6mzPfIIMgRCMP0IRq-1t7KAlGY0Iikj7-126Zw6jN4eMQqI6GQBlQBw8ui3eRJbdQIEbyghsEjwfNSNyBCCH9_vvCKpc3ln4BIy3JDC_-J/s400/100_1022.JPG" border="0" /></a> Just got home from running in a 5K race this morning. This was my second race, the last one was about 5 years ago. Since I run several times a week as my workout I thought I had a good chance to place 1st in my age bracket - 45 and older. We had 60 some runners and I came in 2 second over all female and 9th over all runner. I was thrilled with that. Our oldest daughter Makayla got up early with me this morning to keep my company and cheer me on. At the end of the race I was dieing but really wanted to keep the 2nd place female spot. I won a medal and 50.00 - wooo hooo. Im thinking about getting a Spa pedicure with my winnings or flower money. Either way Im glad I ran and thrilled with the out come. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivk7B0h8mErHT4JlhNd0B4Mk9_kT6lXtvRw4qcC9ZAtYNiv7j_D1ovq67qO2hnTlwvEDFpiLfkCPhZnta6xvj9nJ11AQpXnq-DOTHMQIo5uuOP_ICBqgY24qSSSgM77rli9Q0SH0AUtBHX/s1600-h/100_1025.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivk7B0h8mErHT4JlhNd0B4Mk9_kT6lXtvRw4qcC9ZAtYNiv7j_D1ovq67qO2hnTlwvEDFpiLfkCPhZnta6xvj9nJ11AQpXnq-DOTHMQIo5uuOP_ICBqgY24qSSSgM77rli9Q0SH0AUtBHX/s400/100_1025.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9WvXn9io7nfJpQt1XjpDBY-uM3c9a3ocbaRHRlKhasCLPpu4oZJlGYQ5bV79SiA1T2JM8zDzge8EXdYySwRSknZhUZ-UUxO6yUSQsIkrLmPML5LAz69dqME_UWVVzulM8e0bW4Nc1SPeg/s1600-h/100_1033.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9WvXn9io7nfJpQt1XjpDBY-uM3c9a3ocbaRHRlKhasCLPpu4oZJlGYQ5bV79SiA1T2JM8zDzge8EXdYySwRSknZhUZ-UUxO6yUSQsIkrLmPML5LAz69dqME_UWVVzulM8e0bW4Nc1SPeg/s400/100_1033.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglYh86cHWRghqhGGMQwElZG-6B1I0bhnU95edCxH2w4i2O4d1osWgWgTx_4wLSpfFmut-asnR578LTAy9nXmy6uSJdNyVUZgfIDKvcTWjfgPBsQahyphenhyphenb_LnwsudkNqr7lYsgGL8wDn7F4lB/s1600-h/100_1035.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglYh86cHWRghqhGGMQwElZG-6B1I0bhnU95edCxH2w4i2O4d1osWgWgTx_4wLSpfFmut-asnR578LTAy9nXmy6uSJdNyVUZgfIDKvcTWjfgPBsQahyphenhyphenb_LnwsudkNqr7lYsgGL8wDn7F4lB/s400/100_1035.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-12442805310495222052009-09-28T07:57:00.000-07:002009-09-28T07:57:36.179-07:00Our weekend at the Kate Shepard B and B<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY2Uy_roEz5j3YCJEprwSOGBCjT8GaA73o0c1qhNGdne6mBIEktfbLDo6pIHXiSBmd4-ShYrfFCXkXZ-i5HnSe1KV7-X7f6lcBDqVbfveJ09QiX9c25J5j3CKU6NT57X8kSeWT8Ky9HXxH/s1600-h/102_0940.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY2Uy_roEz5j3YCJEprwSOGBCjT8GaA73o0c1qhNGdne6mBIEktfbLDo6pIHXiSBmd4-ShYrfFCXkXZ-i5HnSe1KV7-X7f6lcBDqVbfveJ09QiX9c25J5j3CKU6NT57X8kSeWT8Ky9HXxH/s400/102_0940.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Lar</span> and I spent a romantic weekend together in Mobile Alabama. The kids were at Camp <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Failla</span> so this was our chance to be together -alone. We stayed our first night at the Kate <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Shepard</span> House B and B in the historic district of Mobile. It was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">beautiful</span> and we enjoyed <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">visting</span> with the hostess, Wendy, and hearing about the history of the house and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Shepard</span> family. Sat. morning we headed out the door about 7am to go for a walk and look at all the historic homes in the area. The Kate Shepard house was built in 1897. There were many "painted ladies" and cottage homes on our walk. I loved all the beautiful Antebellum homes as we walked down <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Government</span> St. Then it was back to the B and B for breakfast at 9. We had time to get cleaned up and were sitting in the dining room enjoying our fresh <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Strawberry's</span> and Orange juice when Wendy came in with her world famous Pecan Praline french toast. It is listed as one of the top 100 hundred things to eat in Alabama before you die. They were heavenly and reminded me of my Grandma <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Sylvia's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Cinnamon</span> rolls with the same Pecan topping. Heaven on earth. After touring the B and B and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">vi sting</span> we headed out for a day of shopping at near by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Fairhope</span>. A quaint little town on Mobile Bay that has a fun down town area filled with shops and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">restaurants</span>. The whole weekend was so enjoyable and we came home with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">alot</span> of little sayings and reminders from our weekend together. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6uAOQOeT1X-2uQfeLUgF6uUd1N8jDWzeuEwuUGSUYvoKMCnecTg4C2Rq4_akZ1cWXdr0rAkX3PrwDTABV9r9o9a1zJTMMyeDkc5axpmOs4Ss8UzFJn7I_HfJWJk5VJmUakjE_jJKIy7U_/s1600-h/102_0970.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6uAOQOeT1X-2uQfeLUgF6uUd1N8jDWzeuEwuUGSUYvoKMCnecTg4C2Rq4_akZ1cWXdr0rAkX3PrwDTABV9r9o9a1zJTMMyeDkc5axpmOs4Ss8UzFJn7I_HfJWJk5VJmUakjE_jJKIy7U_/s400/102_0970.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwM4xrIAkFOF2l4JU1nV4R-UL6pkz_P508q5Ra09tKjpO_-E4zmieTLjbFt08o10HUlzoipicWz-qV5A_JRDwa94L6bH8JCrzDxznyFejV3fXuM3WWnw_IDtgUmqXaejvUYrQURuSQPCr7/s1600-h/102_0985.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwM4xrIAkFOF2l4JU1nV4R-UL6pkz_P508q5Ra09tKjpO_-E4zmieTLjbFt08o10HUlzoipicWz-qV5A_JRDwa94L6bH8JCrzDxznyFejV3fXuM3WWnw_IDtgUmqXaejvUYrQURuSQPCr7/s400/102_0985.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0KXdTm_Im3JtIWJH6sjKguOvQfQgnq_uYKPtjOMKpT6aQ9RovD1Md3P0I9ROC95t5tBUUbHGrTtyEO9EPojbmGWhqGrGc6FDkF_M6dUYstjH8i5t9SXPr4onhfUDsdtQYY_809lFQY5Rb/s1600-h/102_0994.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0KXdTm_Im3JtIWJH6sjKguOvQfQgnq_uYKPtjOMKpT6aQ9RovD1Md3P0I9ROC95t5tBUUbHGrTtyEO9EPojbmGWhqGrGc6FDkF_M6dUYstjH8i5t9SXPr4onhfUDsdtQYY_809lFQY5Rb/s400/102_0994.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-59864514629463399072009-09-28T07:40:00.000-07:002009-09-28T07:41:28.454-07:00Dreaming of Camp Failla 09<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNzqHf9sxo3Eigl4r5qD7bX6RCAK7fKZyGUPiH4V6KMexBip0U3RhO-CbIytEsbLLDGd2EHT1K0oAJ8Exmh5XUd8KtMqZFoGAKP4GlXsPjdvxXsSOHXGBpQZKsRnGs0cVP3N-p8O552jJx/s1600-h/IMG_0654.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNzqHf9sxo3Eigl4r5qD7bX6RCAK7fKZyGUPiH4V6KMexBip0U3RhO-CbIytEsbLLDGd2EHT1K0oAJ8Exmh5XUd8KtMqZFoGAKP4GlXsPjdvxXsSOHXGBpQZKsRnGs0cVP3N-p8O552jJx/s400/IMG_0654.JPG" border="0" /></a> The kids had an awesome time this weekend at what Im calling Camp Failla 09. Our good friends the Failla family hosted a weekend birthday bash camp out. The Co-Camp directors Cindy and David Failla out did themselves. The jr. campers raved about the great food, the shaving cream fights, airsoft wars, swimming in the lake and the girls even painted a few of the guys toe nails hot pink while they slept. They came home with matching tie die t-shirts that they made and every one signed.

We wanted her to have a special day to really celebrate her. The idea was born to turn our car into a limo by removing the middle row of seats. I mentioned the idea and Alli thought that sounded great. Makayla and I went to work that week planning and getting all the supplies. We bought sparkling cider, gourmet cookies and treats for Alli and her BFF, Morgan, to munch on as we drove them down to the mall in Slidell. We had gifts for her to open along the way, our gift to her was a new purse and wallet with spending money for her trip to the mall. I was the limo driver and Makayla was Alli and Morgans personal assistant, Miss Potts. The girls would run into each store squealing at all the things they liked. Once they decided on a purchase it was turned over to Miss Potts to handle the money and carry the bags. We dined on chinese food, ice cream and all things good. We all had a wonderful time celebrating Allison - who she was - good memories and who she is now - so sweet and smiley, and who she will be - a fun loving Godly woman with a great smile. Happy Birthday sweet Alli girl. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJcgL8TGmaYcMeqabS0dgySWvk7v0-7lEYeXKEBf6wxt09C-YAuIutunRekepErfXPraDlCYBTxF3jZQbOKcCLTZIO65Hdm79khBXAqtBPrByDJFPxLzL-5H1_Dn_NPCq1YFfMaoH3Arp/s1600-h/102_0758.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJcgL8TGmaYcMeqabS0dgySWvk7v0-7lEYeXKEBf6wxt09C-YAuIutunRekepErfXPraDlCYBTxF3jZQbOKcCLTZIO65Hdm79khBXAqtBPrByDJFPxLzL-5H1_Dn_NPCq1YFfMaoH3Arp/s400/102_0758.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQlqMDrLNn2uKwNgLl2dFYVUJeHmU01H-vSYrXGHd7TZlJW2bWo-zcuPPL2m77enrjhv7UBVn7TvSq4Z6tGTQ0aM64GUM1p0GKi4B4dGdcmBlkhumVWBCtj5a7_GLUID3h83JWaLcL2Lqw/s1600-h/102_0776.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQlqMDrLNn2uKwNgLl2dFYVUJeHmU01H-vSYrXGHd7TZlJW2bWo-zcuPPL2m77enrjhv7UBVn7TvSq4Z6tGTQ0aM64GUM1p0GKi4B4dGdcmBlkhumVWBCtj5a7_GLUID3h83JWaLcL2Lqw/s400/102_0776.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF5l5bnfto8FaZ1CCPl6ib1iYwf2yhiXHN_bxZvblIZnfK3_PMSJcr-MH0W5kXMHUPwVs-pptqKi3vmIPzAYXCItgfiwJZXpGzwV27GTyx2fRuHUqxqAwXBeG-XBkLzsGulELsUjVyecqI/s1600-h/102_0777.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF5l5bnfto8FaZ1CCPl6ib1iYwf2yhiXHN_bxZvblIZnfK3_PMSJcr-MH0W5kXMHUPwVs-pptqKi3vmIPzAYXCItgfiwJZXpGzwV27GTyx2fRuHUqxqAwXBeG-XBkLzsGulELsUjVyecqI/s400/102_0777.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-40403397113300658822009-08-18T20:21:00.000-07:002009-08-18T20:21:36.882-07:00Family timeThe idea of our family all meeting and staying in a Beach house on the Oregon <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCFtz7DOcZqHknwiljQ4U5WhR1YzG5PkR7p8W8A6w_sq9mylA3mGatlYeCJ3ZfSGL0YB979fIqbvi0uMAd0HfNV9oDK6lr7r9H33CWybUhWKesjpe3INBFjXGx4B3bC65pi77Kr7OTj-rp/s1600-h/103_4221.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" height="308" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCFtz7DOcZqHknwiljQ4U5WhR1YzG5PkR7p8W8A6w_sq9mylA3mGatlYeCJ3ZfSGL0YB979fIqbvi0uMAd0HfNV9oDK6lr7r9H33CWybUhWKesjpe3INBFjXGx4B3bC65pi77Kr7OTj-rp/s400/103_4221.JPG" width="400" border="0" /></a><br />coast seemed like a great idea - I just wasn't sure it was going to work out.<br />Im sure glad it did - because we had the best time knocking around Lincoln city and Newport beach together.

I wanted to remember how it felt on those cool mornings praising God and thanking Him for His awesome creation. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuxICDnQ6nGw73j27H6RQqF4TcTOcNNUHWpoXOP19V7wAzCr4nRL6UhrXU8oiNJK0VbxQ83F-wWJ9mHiRsFix-DXgjIHH_uM2vc-A9RFdx7GJBlW7jMC5Vd_-Ia3YTA6b7ijB2iQCYN-0I/s1600-h/103_4298.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuxICDnQ6nGw73j27H6RQqF4TcTOcNNUHWpoXOP19V7wAzCr4nRL6UhrXU8oiNJK0VbxQ83F-wWJ9mHiRsFix-DXgjIHH_uM2vc-A9RFdx7GJBlW7jMC5Vd_-Ia3YTA6b7ijB2iQCYN-0I/s400/103_4298.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj212E8wBEGI4YZtsSOS-zKs-kow-uJiB9SOPeYgESEVJ-ZOYMgL3TLSLdUZP-ZaA5beAHrw9_wPsywc4GJf_eiEIGBQXZ_gqbYsa4mCwIM4GtP4dRPN6ZHLIU-6CG-2HvmSSiTvpsRzG6i/s1600-h/103_4309.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj212E8wBEGI4YZtsSOS-zKs-kow-uJiB9SOPeYgESEVJ-ZOYMgL3TLSLdUZP-ZaA5beAHrw9_wPsywc4GJf_eiEIGBQXZ_gqbYsa4mCwIM4GtP4dRPN6ZHLIU-6CG-2HvmSSiTvpsRzG6i/s400/103_4309.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4aSjM7NPVFs3G_vLePEhv5NAQr01SMw4BHlVjlEvDZO2I3vyAM4E9T6OxL4tel6YuC8ZEIYa_SNm8rypQi7A64gH-KKNzn7xG4MbXOD69tPjTgXB3_FT7wR0OwKfiZ-rjurJDLH0o6IIs/s1600-h/103_4350.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4aSjM7NPVFs3G_vLePEhv5NAQr01SMw4BHlVjlEvDZO2I3vyAM4E9T6OxL4tel6YuC8ZEIYa_SNm8rypQi7A64gH-KKNzn7xG4MbXOD69tPjTgXB3_FT7wR0OwKfiZ-rjurJDLH0o6IIs/s400/103_4350.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-56029061573382846042009-08-18T19:24:00.000-07:002009-08-18T19:25:09.448-07:00Top 4 Pictures from the Tide Pools<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxxJwDRxjpmxIHGjwzHCCOc5IGBhqsEttK9giShn5D1ShoDeIdzBztBqUl-F5VoApbiwneHev3SY4DO7YKXtTDsSPECYBRMAcmEULTTuHU7NFZObN0Mek4VJgrb6iFBoMNIQIkWHWS85Qp/s1600-h/103_4276.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxxJwDRxjpmxIHGjwzHCCOc5IGBhqsEttK9giShn5D1ShoDeIdzBztBqUl-F5VoApbiwneHev3SY4DO7YKXtTDsSPECYBRMAcmEULTTuHU7NFZObN0Mek4VJgrb6iFBoMNIQIkWHWS85Qp/s400/103_4276.JPG" border="0" /></a> I just loved going and exploring the tide pools each day with whomever would go with me.

They were getting too nosey for the garage so during the day we have moved them out in a play pen in the shade of the house. We had to cover it as we noticed a hawk was circling the area shortly after we put them out. Now they are safe and sound - Dixie can get in and out but the puppies are happy to be in. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJlXAl5g8RNNE-41mYO1xPs-EsgaQqy5qxuhUP9o9bQBRm2JoaiNm2RQRVkMuKRZa-sRz_fPofuRsMaX79oOQh7H5fLOGyQXrh8c0mfm8hWgYAL134fjXKxjjjcGjiVlJJ9luYay53L52/s1600-h/102_9287.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJlXAl5g8RNNE-41mYO1xPs-EsgaQqy5qxuhUP9o9bQBRm2JoaiNm2RQRVkMuKRZa-sRz_fPofuRsMaX79oOQh7H5fLOGyQXrh8c0mfm8hWgYAL134fjXKxjjjcGjiVlJJ9luYay53L52/s400/102_9287.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here are the names as best as I can remember, Laura, Junie B, Patches, Snoopy, Check-off (not the right spelling), Cloe, Calvin, Diamond, Bandit and Mozart.

We happened on this hotel as we were looking on line for a fun place to go for a couple of days. It was built in 1847 and has such an interesting history. They fire off a canon every afternoon about 330pm and then serve high tea at 4pm in the main lobby. We watched the firing of the cannon but were having too much fun at the beach to go in for tea. We enjoyed our time together at the beach, pool, fishing off the pier with cane poles, fine dining, walking along the marina, and just making new memories together. Im so thankful for the special time we shared together. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2DsYwZXsxCrVO2C2zk1-D0TmlYX9pemH17ANxaDMwkXN-e2iRJLERGewwIMeOtfAod40_AH0aJPjDEaJyundu-GlYgKIaOaNGK7y55779ZnXDPHcNUJZGAFDHt4aF2FUbQ2hfHmDb884W/s1600-h/101_3522.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2DsYwZXsxCrVO2C2zk1-D0TmlYX9pemH17ANxaDMwkXN-e2iRJLERGewwIMeOtfAod40_AH0aJPjDEaJyundu-GlYgKIaOaNGK7y55779ZnXDPHcNUJZGAFDHt4aF2FUbQ2hfHmDb884W/s400/101_3522.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjjsPSwjlMLOwN0tRLixcRqfe1jL7sU-xXCIjHdo_6kr4yIFPMRTDicIH7QArZKvQb50L_CKon7eOuvJ3gdyz6x6gIXs1ii3_HIk7ai2Pbq-N6C-sjZf6AwboenFX1T5G4j307s9uyPFO/s1600-h/101_3535.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipjjsPSwjlMLOwN0tRLixcRqfe1jL7sU-xXCIjHdo_6kr4yIFPMRTDicIH7QArZKvQb50L_CKon7eOuvJ3gdyz6x6gIXs1ii3_HIk7ai2Pbq-N6C-sjZf6AwboenFX1T5G4j307s9uyPFO/s400/101_3535.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm65fktETns24QbwG70Ba2SNqWHkLQYunVBcRTZqbCA4taeV_Xe1J34VjNpBW_n4KMAe9FYX6u9aRJwHfkUCuCLj0L6d0VolDOptHPSl5xasXKCZapNu2IkHIvmGPeGo1EUuKOMmjWFg8j/s1600-h/101_3557.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm65fktETns24QbwG70Ba2SNqWHkLQYunVBcRTZqbCA4taeV_Xe1J34VjNpBW_n4KMAe9FYX6u9aRJwHfkUCuCLj0L6d0VolDOptHPSl5xasXKCZapNu2IkHIvmGPeGo1EUuKOMmjWFg8j/s400/101_3557.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905494440193930291.post-78251279964326418052009-07-17T18:41:00.000-07:002009-07-17T18:42:43.433-07:00A Beautiful Bay Side Walk<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV7hgafye-ud-mSuJcaQdqedtkqX_MquL3puwEFcqzeTG5DexnN6UI43z_uwfCvXYSTji0sZ4BEL4luO0xX7_PCkskyavLUNNnpNCjkYAh85_On_5nDhFoGzgqjIRRmMkw4uPcZl3BYicq/s1600-h/101_3552.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV7hgafye-ud-mSuJcaQdqedtkqX_MquL3puwEFcqzeTG5DexnN6UI43z_uwfCvXYSTji0sZ4BEL4luO0xX7_PCkskyavLUNNnpNCjkYAh85_On_5nDhFoGzgqjIRRmMkw4uPcZl3BYicq/s400/101_3552.JPG" border="0" /></a> One of the things we really enjoyed on our get away was walking along the Bay side path holding hands and looking at all the beautiful homes. There were so many lovey homes but one really was just something to see. We both agreed it was the prettiest house we had ever seen. The pictures don't really show how pretty it is but we sure enjoyed looking at it. We went back a couple of times. After dinner as we were walking someone down the lane was shooting off fireworks that lite up the sky. It was fun to see "our house" all lite up at night and enjoy having a peek inside. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw5tMormB7rRofFzw-NOCj4PkYspIABzsjwiDRoI0vupPIhsP7SYB9hMPR_mfNvEVcUQoPQpqmQdB4bLWnBcxldsoyR7hFAKG61U5qaErlOhXCU24ptxefpla-ZcodsdoRmE12cgUE3l9k/s1600-h/101_3553.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw5tMormB7rRofFzw-NOCj4PkYspIABzsjwiDRoI0vupPIhsP7SYB9hMPR_mfNvEVcUQoPQpqmQdB4bLWnBcxldsoyR7hFAKG61U5qaErlOhXCU24ptxefpla-ZcodsdoRmE12cgUE3l9k/s400/101_3553.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqtThcnVvMRrbVW4sh2tkj-k498TmVr12zrdaUIWYZd_snc3ItpKd_j7lHvamkX4VOOzkRHR81aPwiseQJ5_R-1XYFIIYvGsV4X08qbuni6schvkzQI3ckhjtHN2K73paP7TxfvMvCgN7V/s1600-h/101_3560.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqtThcnVvMRrbVW4sh2tkj-k498TmVr12zrdaUIWYZd_snc3ItpKd_j7lHvamkX4VOOzkRHR81aPwiseQJ5_R-1XYFIIYvGsV4X08qbuni6schvkzQI3ckhjtHN2K73paP7TxfvMvCgN7V/s400/101_3560.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjElGfbvrJnVo7GiKqz2TbUVSmTYWW2LxVOOEy2i-JGFhrsDVQGXuGPA6IfuvpS8UwpqK5GobAjUo4Td_kGeHq5KHIeDs30oI_IznbgsgxwBjI2OKQfwSlNnoL8fGOsFVDGgf3Nvo2u7UZ2/s1600-h/101_3562.JPG"><img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjElGfbvrJnVo7GiKqz2TbUVSmTYWW2LxVOOEy2i-JGFhrsDVQGXuGPA6IfuvpS8UwpqK5GobAjUo4Td_kGeHq5KHIeDs30oI_IznbgsgxwBjI2OKQfwSlNnoL8fGOsFVDGgf3Nvo2u7UZ2/s400/101_3562.JPG" border="0" /></a><div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877788526825370101noreply@blogger.com4
