Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I have been a slacker at updating my blog--sorry! I'll try to do better in the new year.

Well, I try anyway....

Has it really been a month since my last post! Wow! Time has flown by. I've been doing a lot of "crafty" type stuff. I put that in quotes because, for most of it, Caleb has been helping. See what all we have done:

Ahhhhh.....Monsters!

These were fun, but we had to work really fast according to Caleb.

Lanterns

Casey & Caleb each did one of these, I just helped. I'm not sure which one did this one. These came in easy super cheap kits from Michael's. That is where we got the Monsters too.

Candy Corn

So this one is a little better! I did this one without Caleb's help at Teresa's paint party. If you haven't gone to one of her parties, you are definately missing out!

John Deere Green!

So at daycare, Caleb is studying farms! They asked the kids to bring a cardboard box decorated like a tractor. My plans for this were so much better than it turned out, but of course, I waited until the last minute to do it, so this is what we have. Caleb loves it, and that is all that really matters!

Happy Birthday Caleb!

Caleb will be 5 tomorrow! We had his party today--those kids had a great time on the water slide! Thank you to everyone who came to the party! We enjoyed having all of you over! Come visit again soon.

We're Having a Party!

Caleb turns 5 on August 30th! We are having a party on the 29th complete with a water slide! Aren't these invitations cute?!

Jesus Loves Me

A friend sent the following to me in an e-mail, and I really liked it, so I thought I'd share it here.

"Senior version of Jesus Loves Me"

Here is a new version just for us who have white hair or no hair at
all.. For us over middle age (or even those almost there) and all you
others, check out this newest version of Jesus Loves Me.

JESUS LOVES ME
Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is
white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.

(CHORUS)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.

(CHORUS)

When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song..
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near."

(CHORUS)

When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love.

(CHORUS)

I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.

(CHORUS)

Happy Birthday Casey!

Today is Casey's 11th birthday!


Happy Birthday Casey! I love you!!

A girl can wish, can't she?
