Busy time

I've not had time to blog lately. First of all we went camping with all the kids and grand kids a week ago and I took some really cool pictures of the grand kids. Then my camera went belly up and I couldn't get the pictures off the memory stick and had to buy a new one, Then we always have the 4Th of July Gaff family picnic with fireworks at dark. So that means spring cleaning I got my upstairs walls washed and windows cleaned and cupboards cleaned. I still need to do the down stairs which I will hopefully get done next week. I've painted some of the outdoor furniture to spruce things up a little bit., Here are a few pictures. Then of course there's the gardening and weeding that needs done almost daily with all the rain, Oh well at least the house looks a little bit cleaner. Today Jack and I trimmed our Maple Trees that almost knock us off the mower when we mow and I did some weed eating that needed done, It seems alot harder to get everything done than it use to,. I just need to praise the Lord that we are able to do all of these things, Also knotted a comfort for Jack's sister, I still need to finish the outside of that before the 4Th, It is a Beautiful day today with the bright Sunshine and no rain, The grand kids played outside last evening when everyone was here for supper, Several times we made them come in because it looked so black out but it didn't actually rain until everyone was leaving. It has been a very busy couple of weeks with the next two being equally busy, I'll try to do better,

Colors, God is so good!

Lovely pinks and reds
Love the rain drops on the leaves.

It has been a rainy rainy week, I did get the lawn mowed this is a big undertaking because we mow about 6 acres. I did get soaked and had to finish the next day because of lightening but it is finished,. I love the colors in the spring beautiful flowers, trees and grass all different shades of colors. When I look out my dining room window I see vivid reds and pinks and greens I love the different shades against the', OK gray sky sometimes blue. It makes me appreciate that God had such an eye for color and how I praise Him for that. Here are a couple of pictures off our back deck.,enjoy and have a wonderful day.

Colors, God is so good!

The Alians have landed

The Aliens have landed
Gabriela and Halee are ready


United we stand, we are ready to do battle for the Lord.,


May the force of Jesus be with you:


We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength,




While we were camping this last weekend I took some pictures of the grand kids. They are all really into Star Wars the boys all have laser's which they always play with. The girls are getting into it to although they would rather play poly pockets or barbies. It is such a blessing to see them all playing together. I praise the Lord for the healthy beautiful grand kids we have been blessed with. Each and every one of them are unique and special. When I wanted to take their pictures they had to pose with the laser's. Then Shadrach received the helmet that drives like a car and Shawn was trying to get it put together and all so I think he's the alien's.
