The First Visit To Our Little Mountian This SUMMER!!

Happy 5th Birthday Lilly Grace

Our beautiful little Lilly Grace is five years old. She is the most sassy beautiful little girl I know. Lilly is as unique as a Sun flower. She loves space and spaghetti and meatballs! She loves her footie nighties and her bother Owie as she like to call him! We had a super small party with our favorite friends to celebrate. Lilly said she had a marvelous day! And yes we made a meatball and spaghetti cake!

Getting Out :)

This is what happens when we run errands. Poor Wal-mart, Home Depot and Texas Roadhouse will never be the same, add in some sour patch kids and you have a typical outing with us! I don't carry my camera around with me I had it in my purse after the birthday party Lilly and I went to. We have fun no matter if we are here in our little house or just milling around town! I love my little family and that is all that matters!

Fathie's Birthday

Faith turned five and had a fantastic princess party! Lilly and I had so much fun. The girls got hair, nails and makeup done. Lot's of fun!!!

Bye Bye little zoom zoom :(

The replacements, the best replacements! No car could take the place of our babies! Praise God!

Today Gary and I sold our first baby. The Miata was a fantastic little car and we had some fun times with it. I will never forget calling it a black olive and roller skate the first time I saw it! Gary and I took it all over Colorado and Idaho. When we first got married one of our very favorite things to do was to drive around Lake Coeur D' Alene to my favorite little town called Harrison, we got the best ice cream there! We drove that little car all over and had a blast we sat in car washes while the Colorado skies threw hail down, we would always plan our summer outings around car wash shelters!! That little car was so good to us and we loved it. Over the last five years our little car sat sadly in the garage, I think a couple of times we heard it say "Zoom Zoom". We had a little car with a lot of memories that long to see the road. We planned on keeping it forever, but the past few months have been a bit financially draining with my surgery and I did not work as much because I felt so poorly. God stepped in and made us realize our little car could make life a little easier just one more time. We really thought long and hard about selling our favorite little car. I was ready to sell my wedding ring! We posted the car and less than 24hours later was sold to a young man getting ready to start his last year of high school and aspirations of a career in the United States Army. When Gary saw this kid who bought his baby he knew he was the one. Funny how life seems to change and make you grow. We once saw fun in a car and this little car that was so babied and loved had been replaced by the two most beautiful gifts. You see this little car was replaced five years ago for giggles, pinches, smiles and hugs. It is just now that God made us realize it!
