Miss Anna

Just look at the innocent expression on her face!

I just love this one... cookie dough.... its pretty good stuff! :)

She is such fun! And CUTE, did I mention that yet?

She knows the drill... whenever I go to the Brown's house...it's to the field I go.... snap here and a few snaps there....

 I told her to make a silly face, this is what I got.

Lily

Beautiful! Something about close-up shots of flowers really interest me. I think all the fine detail is really neat.  By the way, this lily smells heavenly.

 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.  - Matthew 6:28

Sunflower

                
"Keep your face to the sunshine
and you cannot see the shadow.
It's what sunflowers do."
by Helen Keller

"BE"

BE understanding to your enemies.
Be loyal to your friends.
BE strong enough to face the world each day. Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone.
BE generous to those who need your help.
BE frugal with what you need yourself.
BE wise enough to know that you do not know everything.
BE foolish enough to believe in miracles.
BE willing to share your joys.
BE willing to share the sorrows of others.
BE a leader when you see a path others have missed.
BE a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty.
BE the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.
BE the last to criticize a colleague who fails.
BE sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not stumble.
BE sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way.
BE loving to those who love you.
BE loving to those who do not love you, and they may change.

ABOVE ALL, BE YOURSELF!

Books!

“Books open your mind, broaden your mind, and strengthen you as nothing else can” - Wiliam Feather

Books, books and even more books....

 I have been doing A LOT of reading lately. These are majority of the books I've read since February of 2009. What really got me hooked on reading was starting a class called Omnibus. I took this course through Veritas Press. http://www.veritaspress.com/  

I mean, I hadn't even heard of most of the books that I read through Omnibus - it was just so incredible, so many wonderful books out there! Omnibus was one of the best classes I have ever taken, I highly recommend it. All of the writing, debating, discussing, learning and reading is just one of the best experiences ever. And all of the friendships you make, the students are from all across the globe, it's just AMAZING! 

 

Photoshoot with Casidy Brown

All I can say is thank you Casidy for finally letting me do a photoshoot of you! These were taken up in Canada earlier in July.

Randomness

Joyful and thankful am I... for my life... and all the day-to-day happenings...

The smell and beauty of flowers, waves crashing against rocks, a good grade, ice-cream on a warm and sunny day, the gentle breeze, an honest friend, a laughing child, music, books, shooting stars, the lunar eclipse, the rings on Saturn, counting the stars in the sky, understanding a really difficult concept, the sound of a running brook, a close friend, all the tall trees and the sky that seems to go on and on forever, a momma deer with her young ones prancing in an open field, the sound of rain, melodic calls from birds, fresh blueberries right from the plant, the smiles and the laughter of young ones, hot tea, knowing that you are loved, someone believing in you and a wonderful family is what makes MY life worth living for! What about your life? 

One of my very favorite Bible verses - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Have a great Monday!

Spiderwebs

“Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.” -Henry James

Sauk Mountain Hike

This is my all time favorite hike! Our family does it at least twice a year. Last night we headed up the trail (yes it's up a mountain) at about 6 pm, we arrived at the top just after 7 pm. Our family wanted to arrive at the top just before the sun was setting - we made it JUST in time. Lets just say it was one of the most amazing days in my life. The view with the sun shining on everything was beyond spectacular. I took over 330 pictures (I had a very tough time trying to decide which ones to include here)We even saw a Black Bear across the other side of the mountain.
