always have ur camera

proof there's always a need for ur camera...all since monday morning:

when u get that little box of love and there's a ton of perfect saltiness on it...you have to capture the moment!  
{i realize i have a problem}


i don't even know what to say about this...but i had to have a picture.  those are real curtains and real porch lights...and on the other side, there's a solar panel.  i'm not sure if it's a trailer for camping or a play house or a real house.  i'm speechless. {shut up}


when you go done the horsey road, you never know when the ladies will be out saying hello!
{b really sticks her head out the window and yells to each of them...she swears they talk back and say, "hello. thanks for coming by"}

when daddy leaves on a jet plane {come on and sing along} we can remember his smile!!

Ugh, you're seriously killing me with the fry pics! Did I tell you I started Weight Watchers on Monday? I still have some points to blow this week, so I may need to get some McD's fries and a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard from Dairy Queen. Mmmmmmmmm....

Thanks for visiting my blog. I checked out CASA site. I have such a heart for adoption and wonder if God is preparing my heart for Foster Care. I never thought I could do something like that. CASA sounds like such a great opportunity. My husband is Latino, too. I watched the video on the bilingual CASAs. Very intriguing. Not something we can jump into now, but something to keep tucked away for down the road.
I enjoyed checking out your blog. And, while I'm a die hard BK fan, the pic. of the fries was very tantalizing. :)

Oooooh girl. The salty fries. Are they not the best? After you finish those, you just need to top it all off with a little sundae action. Mmm good!

Thanks for the info about CASA. What a great thing to learn about.
I hope that thing is a play house. If so, it's awesome!

Thanks for the inspiration too...I love your decoration ideas - especially the book covers in frames!!!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
