{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...

{Fall Party}

Each year our family has the Conner Fall party in which we have so much fun. Food, sweets, games, prizes and lots of laughing fill this family event. Needless to say memories are made.

This year me and my daughters dressed like Superheros. I don't know who was more shocked at my auburn wig...my man or my grandkids! 

One of my grandgirls told me the wig made me look younger....I MIGHT BE WEARING IT MORE OFTEN!

My grandbabies sure had fun as always.


GAME TIME....


Needless to say the kiddos lined right up to throw the ball and knock down the cans. We definitely have some PITCHERS.


And the party would not be complete without tossing the balls into the pumpkins! Especially when they are going to win LIVE GOLDFISH!


 

Who can have a Fall party without playing "Go Fish"?.


The object of the game was to knock over the bottles without using your hands!


Another little Pitcher up to throw!


Pumpkin carving is always fun.
 

More game time with the kiddos.
 

My fatheirnlove thought he would show us how to walk the PLANK!


The Mummy wrap! 


This little one could care less about any of it....just let her eat the pumpkin and she was happy.


Proud of their carved pumpkins.
 

Everyone wanted to know why my man didn't dress up like a Superhero. His answer: I am a SUPERHERO for putting up with 4 women in my life all these years!
 

We had lots of Superheros this year at  our party! Can't wait to see what we come up with next year. 
 

Hot dogs and chili enjoyed by all....


We ended our day with a hay ride and story time. We actually had games that we didn't play because the ADULTS was wore out!!!
 

Our newest PUMPKIN is on the way so what better pumpkin for my daughter to carve than a baby pumpkin!


And we're having a gender reveal party this Sunday evening to reveal what this sweet little pumpkin will be! (lots of pictures to come I am sure)


 I hope that you all have a safe and happy Halloween. Enjoy family and friends...Make some memories and Happy Fall! 
 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. I felt like I was right there! Your family sure knows how to throw a party and have fun. Our family use to dress in costume when our girls were in college so I know how much fun you guys had. It's great when everybody gets into it like this. I love seeing families laugh together like this! You are ever beautiful, Cindy.

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...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...
