Tags and Awards

Sue, at Beautiful Pear Lane tagged me this week to post the 6th picture from my 6th file in my pictures. My sixth folder happens to be a folder I use for scanning pictures into. This is a picture I really loved, of our daughter kissing her new little one. I have already posted it, so I will post a current picture our baby Roo.

They grow so fast!

This little one brings us so much joy. She recently had tubes put in her ears because of so many ear infections and maybe that is the reason she developed her own little language. She speaks in distinct words....all of her own, constantly.

It is adorable to keep up a conversation with her.

Since I am showing off little Roo, I want to share our other precious baby, Jake with his daddy, Scott.
Jake is just three months older than Roo. He is so sweet, quiet and goes about investigating everything. Things aren't quite the same after Jake finds them! He is totally all boy and on the go. LOL... he is such a good little guy, so full of love... I am glad they have a cousin their same age, to grow up with.

Thanks Sue, for the fun TAG!

A little while ago I received this award from a wonderful friend Shaila. I am so sorry it has taken so long for me to pass it along. I am to name 7 things I love and 7 things I am thankful for and then pass it to 7 other blogs.

7 things I love and am thankful for!
*
1. Spring time and the rebirth of the earth. The glorious spring blossoms and flowers which I can even see from where I am sitting:)
*
2. The parents I was blessed to be born to, who taught us to love the Lord, tolerance, love, acceptance, charity, honesty and integrity by their actions and example.
*
3. Laughter and my great friends who bring out the best in those around them.
*
4. My incredibly good and wonderful husband... I often wonder why I am blessed to be so lucky?
*
5. Our children and grandchildren whom we adore. We will soon be 21 strong.:)

*
6. Our Freedom. I am grateful for the freedoms and pray these freedoms will always be here for our posterity. This freedom is something I cherish and pray for continually. I am so grateful for our armed forces and the sacrifices they and their families make in our behave.
*
7. Promptings and answers to prayer, even for the small things in our lives. Our 3 year old grandson, Doo Bug lost his brand new soccer shoe during a mad dash to the car last week, during a rain storm, following his game. They got home and his new shoe was missing.

A prompting several days later led us back to the field and the gutter where a rain soaked, but still new little shoe waited to be picked up.

Now I would love to pass this TAG, AWARD and CHALLENGE on to 7 of my friends at:

1. Ouincy Cottage I really enjoy her and her daughters blogs. I made her Lemon Chicken recipe from her post last Friday, for our dinner yesterday, and it was so delicious! I HIGHLY recommend it this tender and yummy dish. (Her's looks better:)

2. Marie A Year from Oak Cottage Whose blog is always full of inspiration and the most delicious food. She is a friend of the heart and lives in the United kingdom. So inspiring!

3. Blondies Journal Who just returned from a fabulous vacation in NC for spring Break and always has a fun read, to share.

4. Rue's Peanut Butter and Jelly life who is creating a beautiful home in their new house where they recently moved. She has amazing ideas.

5. Mimi Sue Cottage Who shares her life and talents. She has a lovely home full of love and even offered her home to our son Scott and his family if they are ever stranded in an other snowstorm close to her home. She has a very charitable heart.

6. Home Sweet Hide Away Who would love to just hideaway with her own sweet family and has more talents to share than her mom ever hopes to have. I have often wondered why I was lucky enough to be her mom...when I learn so much from her.


7. Dot at Pickets Place Who has me laughing and crying, at loud, all in the same post. She is so genuine and Southern. She even gave me a southern accent when she reads my posts, which made me SMILE. I am from Idaho! If you want to meet a wonderful and fun lady, please visit Dot.

ENJOY YOUR WEEK.... Ours is one where we will blowing out a lot of birthday candles!
