God is Love....

Got Love?

Ouch! Blonde Moment!

In all seriousness, Darla is fine now . . . but that was a doozy of a sliver. Darla & her 2 sweet friends Tierra & Elayna were outside barefoot enjoying the summer sun when Darla stepped on a stick that decided to lodge a huge chunk into the side of her foot. It was too big for normal tweezers...so off to the ER we go. DR gave her a shot to numb the pain while attempting several times to remove the sliver. He finally got it by cutting it out of her foot. He treated her with an antibiotic & special iodine like medicine to prevent infection. Her friends were real sweeties worried about her & helping her into the clinic. Good friends!

Payton...Pizza....& more.,

Payton is spending some much needed R&R time with Grandpa Bob & Grandma Vickie this week. We met Grandpa in Estacada at our favorite pizza shop & enjoyed lunch before saying our goodbyes to Payt. Grandpa also let us borrow his fun game "washer toss" (similar to horse shoes). We love you guys! Thanks for all you do!

Lil' Miss Lila's 1st Bath

Darla saved $200 of her own money...and spent 4 years convincing her papa she was old enough to own a little doggy of her own. Nolan & Elijah each chipped in $50 & Lila Love Crombie has joined the family. She is a purebread registered chihuahua. Born on 4/29/10 to champion parents. Darla has hopes to show her & breed her once in the future...but present day hopes are to master housetraining. A lot of work - they have tiny bladders & must be taken outside at least every 30 minutes. We love her but this little girl who isnt even 3lbs yet is a lot of work. Here is Lila receiving her 1st bath:

My Baby's Behind The Wheel

Im pretty sure this is my least favorite aspect so far of motherhood...helping our son learn to drive...realizing soon he will be out on his own. Statistics for teen involved accidents are so scary & were very well communicated to us parents at the Drivers Ed Info Meeting.

Happy 4th Of July

227 years ago...on July 4th, 1776
This great nation, the United States of America,
In a struggle for what was right and free,
Was proudly born...
May we celebrate that precious freedom
For which our forbears fought so bravely...
The freedom that is inherent
In the Stars and Stripes, our revered flag...
Celebrate Freedom
This Fourth of July!
