Weather

It's been such great weather here in Olympia Wa. The trees are so beautiful,I was on my way to trader joes today to pick up some dinner condiments I've been trying to get my kids to make dinner once a week it's been going very well at my amazement as I was driving I got to take in how blessed I am I live in a beautiful state and have a great husband and amazing kids even when I have my melt downs they still seem to Love me.

Time out .

It has been a great weekend lots of time out with the hubby ,it has been hard getting use to the independence are kids have been showing .
Hubby and I are having to get use to the quite time we have around us , God is revealing to us that we have to trust God with his plans that he holds for us and are teens .And I need to understand I can't control everything only God can and Trusting in him is top priority and a challenge I can not lie . So taking time out to see the great things that he has done so far is a blessing .

Getting ready to end a relaxing weekend .

It has been a great weekend as are kids get older I find myself keeping busy doing crafts and taking some time to sit and relax.This weekend my husband made some yummy clown cookies,we went to a flea market and I made the cutest sign. We went to church and worked in the nursery what a blessing that is to my soul. And cuddled on the couch. Well I hope you all had a great weekend.😃❤

Flea market finds !

This weekend me and my guy went to our local flea market it's not a large flea market but I'm always able to find some great finds that make me smile.Here are some of the things I found! Enjoy!!

It's been to long !

Sorry for not checking in, it's been a crazy start to the school year . I have a senior in high school again!! And it's been nonstop with her but hopefully her driving now (yes driving 😔) will give me some extra time to check in so to let you know a little about what's been going on in my heart and home I will share a little about my senior girl. To start, She is a Wonderful girl and has so much talent I can't wait to see what God reveals to her. as a parent it's the most scariest thing, I know I have to trust God because he knows the plans for her right? But what beauty and humor comes with a child. Here are two pictures of my girl the one is her senior picture and the other is her last school picture, now for this one she thought it would be great to just throw me off with this so called school girl look. I did say she had talent right? how I love the girl God has given me Lord I lift her up to you and may her path will always be yours!

❤A mom who's trying hard .

A Day Home .

So today I got to stay home and relax,I also had enough time to make a run to world market :) I needed a happy moment as I realize my son is turning 19 and my middle girl is almost a senior time goes by to fast life comes to quick for these little chicks how I would like to cut their stems and keep them from growing and keep them from anything sad , I know that my Lord and Savior has his hand in them so with that I hope they bloom into amazing beautiful human beam and give joy to so many !

Beauty in things that God creates .

This weekend has been great my husband and I got lots of time together, we went shopping for are son who will be turning 19 what can you get a 19 year old? We found some little things here and there. Than we went to a friends house for lunch it was a celebration of overcoming trials that God has put in their path. That was amazing to see and so blessed to be part of Gods faithfulness. we also got to work in the garden together :) that was nice, because my husband isn't a garden person so helping me was great ! So my weekend was blessed with lots of ❤ and just enjoying Gods faithful work in our life's !

All you need is love!

Leviticus 19:17,18. I will start as a concern parent. My daughter came to me and said she was speaking at her school against a group who had some beliefs that I have taught them it's not the way God wants us to live. She explained to her dad and I that God LOVES everyone, we are no one to judge only God is. mom and dad do we cast bad on them?Do I turn my back on them? Or can I LOVE them and hope that one day they get on their knees and ask for forgiveness and for His LOVE to poor over them. I think she got us on this one. So we allowed her to speak and guess what!?We are very proud parents!!:)

Time how it flies

So today went by so fast but had enough time to find a perfect spot for my clock and my number 5 sign and my lunch box.Than went out to run some errands and met my two favorite guys for lunch .Picked up my girls from school gave them something to eat and now Im working on some laundry while they do homework .We have two basketball games tonight going meaning it is going to be a long night but I Love seeing my girl play. See you soon with more picture of some of my great finds .❤Debbie

heart on this !

A sunshines smile

This special girl was honored this weekend at her University SPU for her hard work. Only 50 people in her class were honored. woot woot :) Well this young lady has been a ray of smiles sense she was Gods gift to this world and her rays of smiles and her will to shine is so amazing. I am so proud of her and admire my brother for being a dad who pushes success out of her . Great job to her and her parents!But most of all to God who always watched over her and protected her with so much blessings .

Carry on with Steady Hands .

It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect . Psalm 18:32NIV. So my daughters soccer team is lacking a goalie those who know soccer goalie is a very important position to hold. It's basically who powers the team so are last game that we had my husband put in a couple of his fils players to fill in including my daughter ! Even though we had Haley who is great at playing this position I and others were asking why aren't you playing her . The coach (my hubby) knew that these girls also were capable and can carry any position he put their way with steady hands.sometimes are kids and circumstances show us the people that you have on your team could help you have a steady hand to lead or sometimes you just might have to carry on and allow someone else the opportunity to lead . Remember God is control he leads he gives steady hands He loves when we are in it for him !

He has risen

Thank you Lord for the Great job that you have blessed my husband with . It's brought many blessing to our family and others praise you God for all that you do for are family !

Got some new spring fun material .

went on a run to the fabric store.I found some cute patterns and happy colors plus this great ruffle material that comes in a set of three 1.5 yard for each ruffle... love it!! It's been very gloomy and rainy here in Washington I really need something to make our home cheerful and bring some hope for summer. So I made some curtains for the kitchen .plus watched the voice well I was sewing .

Good Grief! Look at what my college son has been up to!

So my son is a freshman at SMU and he lives at home . In his spare time we believe and hope he is studying but I guess he has been on the laptop ordering.... boxes. After dinner he asked me and his dad to go into the garage because he had something to show us, well I was thinking "what did you do!" and I was really hesitant to see . But when I saw he had a big stack of empty boxes, we asked "where did you get those!" He said "they were free!" Oh my!! It made my night I laughed and laughed. He said he was planing on hiding them from us but his stack kept growing. "Maybe he is thinking of moving" his sisters say, but I always cringe when my girls say that. I'm happy he is at home, going to school full time and that he works. I believe young adults need as much support from their families that can be offered since life can already be scary. Don't get me wrong he works hard to help out with any expenses his school charges.
Well,it looks like we won't be spending money on Christmas boxes this year!!! :)

Thurston County Flea Market

So after my girls game I stopped quickly by the small flea market that our county holds once a month . I always find a great deal and something that makes my heart pitta patter and smile like I found the greatest find ! So here's what I found a chair for my hubby's office and a small pitcher. The chair was 10 and the pitcher was 4.

Joy

A happy heart makes the face cheerful. Proverbs 15:13 NIV
Yesterday my girls had their first soccer game of the season. It has been great to have them play on the same team, it brings me great Joy when their dad puts them in at the same time and I see them work hard and make that special pass when one of my girls gets to score with the help of her sis it brings great Joy. Thank you Jesus for my girls who Love you and show us at times when we as parents don't always find Joy in are day. I am Blessed with what a cheerful heart that I have God!

Spokane

The Bears from Oly were playing for a advancing in the state tournament against Gonzaga Prep. If we win they get to play in tacoma dome which would be amazing ! They played hard did their best but it just wasn't their time and we lost :( It has been a great ride with this team and with some great seniors who are leaving us :(( so to understand why I think this was a ride for my family is my girl is one of the smallest girls on her team and always had many adult people remind her of that but what always surprises me is she always finds away to face the giants even when we as parents tell her it's ok to give up when your faced with so many adult obstacles but she always seems to remind us it's a trial and God has plans for her. We have seen her learn to stand up for herself and ask why can't I and I deserve it when I have worked hard and loved my team. God is so good to her and us he teaches me patience and to trust in my girl and that I have done what I am suppose to do. So these pictures (please forgive me I'm not the best photographer ) represent why she trust her self and Loves to play and Loves her Team. The best moment for me and my husband was the award she received from WIAA for good sportsmanship.
