{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...

{Gender Reveal Party}

Well finally the big day arrived for my daughter and her husband's gender reveal party. Needless to say everyone was excited. Our theme was Lures and Lace and everything was decorated in blue and pink. We decided to serve sweets only since this would be an early afternoon party.

Let the party begin.... 


The sign was the first thing everyone saw as they drove into the driveway. Made it all the more fun.

 She wore pink and he wore blue....Neither of them knew what the gender was!

 Come on in....


Ready to get the party started...



 The other side of the pink balloon with the ? mark on it was blue. We also had pink and blue balloons along the road on the way to the party. 


 A little pink....

Diaper cake

And a little blue....

Diaper cake

See the little shoes?


So cute....


 LURES or LACE????

Pink and Blue white chocolate onesies...

Oreo's dipped in white chocolate and colored sprinkles. And since the expecting parent's last name is STARR why not some pink and blue chocolate stars?

Dipped pretzels...

YUM...Strawberries

Cookies...


 And cake....


Rice Krispie Treats 


All I can say is we had a major sugar high going on.

Which pin would she wear????

 The voting begins....The Boy is winning.


What will this sweet little baby be?
And look at the foot! You can count the toes!

They are ready to pop the balloon to see what color falls out....


Anticipation is killing us!


Only one person knew the gender and that was a close family friend. The gender of the baby was placed in a sealed envelope and given to our friend. Then she filled the balloon with the color of confetti needed. The parent's did not know nor the GRANDPARENT'S!

The moment arrived...1...2...3!


IT'S A GIRL......


 They will be the proud parents of a sweet little girl!



I see lots of PINK coming our way!



And the next day our soninlove sent my daughter this beautiful bouquet of carnations and roses to her job! YEP...he is getting the hang of PINK!



And just so you will know...this will be our 5th grandchild. We have three daughters, three grandgirls and one grandson. For the other grandmother...she has two sons and one grandson. So...this will be her first grandgirl! Got a feeling this little bundle of PINK is going to be spoiled rotten!

Praising the Lord for His goodness. Thanks for tagging along with me for the gender reveal. It was a fun party!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

      Yes, it seems the new thing now is gender reveal parties! It was fun though and I think what made it all the more fun was the fact that only one person knew what the gender was.

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...
