Tea Time and Mommy Day!

I sure have fun with our girls. We enjoyed a mother-daughter tea at church and it was full of special moments.  Both girls were all about dressing up for the occasion, which was exciting in itself.  Tessa was all about picking out the dresses and the bows...that is our fashion girl. 

We enjoyed tea, punch, snacks, and learning how to decorate a cake.  They were both little ladies!  They even were helpers in the kitchen, helping clean and put away the dishes.  I was so proud of them, watching them being involved and wanting to step right in and help out.  I am so humbled by the opportunity to be their MOMMY and to have the moments we share.  God knew what he was doing when he blessed us with girls! 

"6" Years Old!

 Happy 6th Birthday to Tessa Elizabeth! She taught us how to be parents, she brings joy to our World, she keeps us on our toes, cracks us up, and knows how to snuggle & melt our hearts!  We are so blessed by our "peanut" and we know that "God Gave Us Tessa" for so many reasons and we are thankful everyday for the gift of our Girl!  She is growing up so quick, we want to press the pause button!  God is so Good!

Up on Stage!

Tessa and Ella are such entertainment for our household!  It is without a doubt a guarantee to have laughter, smiles, and warm feelings with our girls around.  They love to sing and put on shows for us! This evening was particularly entertaining because of the effort the girls put in!

They practiced, got into their costumes, and were SO excited to perform their "play".  They pretended that Ella was a flower, Tessa watered her, and she grew. Then they danced. They put in so much effort and they were so proud of themselves. 

Zion can be noticed in one of the photos with something in her mouth... of course she was acting like a puppy. She might be 8 years old, but she still can't stand it when she is not getting the attention she thinks she deserves!  There is always fun lingering at our house....Precious Times! 

Dad Turns "70"

 He is so many things to so many people. He is kind, he is giving, he is fun, he is loving, he is loved!  Happy 70th brithday, Dad, Popsey, Jerry.... We are so thankful for you in our lives and we know that you have helped us to become who we are today!  Happy Birthday....and many more!

Morning Snuggles

 Two girls that Love to Snuggle....Now, If they could just always get along....I guess they are sisters after all, it is all part of it! 

The pond is officially open!

We always look forward to feeding the fish and catching the fish!  The Fisher Boys made their first trip of the the season for some fishing in the pond and the fish were biting!  They love coming over because the fish are aways biting at our house.  Tessa and Ella say it is because they know we are going to be nice and toss them back in when we catch them.  The girls have no fear of the fish or the worms, in fact, I have to often remind them to leave the poor worms alone. Particularly Ella, she'd hold them all day if we would let her.  We love having girls that love to be girls, yet, they are not afraid the get their hands in the dirt!

Joy to the Playset!

 It is without a doubt pure joy to see the girls playing outside and enjoying nature.  They play so hard that they are filthy dirty and exhausted.  I wouldn't want it any other way!  They both hit the ddor running and it is a chore to get them back inside for baths at night.  I lvoe to see their hair flying in the breeze, flip-flops on, and smiles from ear to ear!  "it is okay to get dirty Mom, you know we live in the country" Tessa tells me! Love is watching your kiddos enjoy special times in the comforts of their own backyard!
