{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

{Savoring the moments}

My sweet grandgirl turned 6 months old on October 9th and I truly think she is growing too fast. It just seems like yesterday that our sweet Adalynn was born. 

 Of course I am reminded when I look at my oldest grandgirl who will be 13 in April that time waits on NO ONE
Here she is old enough now to be in our youth praise and worship band at church. REALLY? What happened to that little baby?


 But our babies do grow up and quickly. This sweet girl has brought so much joy to our family. We call her our JOY baby. 



If you look at her she will smile....



 Sleeps 11-12 hours a night. Cries if she gets hungry and that's about the only time she cries. 



 And she is at that stage that she grabs everything...earrings, ears, nose and whatever else she can grab. But do you know what my favorite thing is that she does? She'll put those little hands up to your face and looks at you as if to say, "I love you soooo much". 

YEP.....I truly am trying to savor the moments of this Circle of Life.



How many of you loved the Lion King movie? Oh I love that movie. Think I will listen to the song....The Circle of Life





Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  2. Cindy, I know you are proud of your granddaughter being a part of the youth and worship team at your church. I love seeing these young kids get involved and especially with things that are GOOD and MEANINGFUL. That baby has not lost any of her hair. WOW! Such a pretty little baby and her smile is adorable.

  3. What a precious little face! Babies are brand new little blessings that are gifts that keep on giving. Just like our children. When my hubby and I led a Young Adult group, all of our kids were in the worship band. Those were some of the best years of my life. Today, my little grandson is learning to play guitar and already is joining the worship team at church from time to time. You have beautiful grandchildren, Cindy! Enjoy your day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  13. Cindy your little one is so adorable, I almost want to reach across the screen and pinch her little cheeks. She reminds me so much of my youngest who looked a lot like little Adalynnn. It is such a rich rewarding life we live when we take the time to savor the moments and enjoy the cirle of life.

  30. Oh my goodness gracious, what an adorable little girl your Adalynn is! And I totally agree with you about how fleeting time is. My own grandbabies aren't so much babies any more. *sigh*! I was watching Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass this weekend and since "Time" is a main character, there were lots of time puns and sayings. Though it's not meant to be a deep, thought provoking movie, it did get me thinking about what a gift each second, minute and hour are!! Especially when there's family around!! Hugs to you!! :)

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget
