Pictures-Felling Trees

If I remember the correct term for chopping down trees, it's felling, right? Well anyways, we felled us some trees at Dad & Mom's one night....loads of fun for those of us watching all the shenanigans!!!!! The kids got a kick out of it!

Hard work of hooking yer chains up to the tree, making v shaped notches with chainsaw

then doing some major jerking with the four wheeler gets this job accomplished.

Isaac doesn't normally smile this big when he's working.....must be because he's on his favorite toy ;)

The biggest tree in motion going down.....

I am Happy because.....

1- We had a meeting at work today and we got Pizza Hut!!!!! AND DESSERT PIZZA!!!! Yipee!



2- Just got done with my amazing group of women, Captivating book study....another great night of great talks, lotsa laughs, and good eating!!!



3- I got all my piano students scheduled for when school starts.....another check on the list done!



4- Gabe finally pooped on the potty at Mee-Mee's........for some reason he would NOT do it there, but will do it just fine everywhere else......stinkin' stubborn monkey!!!! (I think he just likes to push her buttons ;)



5- It's time for bed and I'm so very ready...........goodnight peeps!!!



6- PS. AND I'm happy because: "He is quieting me with His love....."Zephaniah 3:17

Along with Stellan at http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ .....I have been following this little guy's story too. I saw amazing miracles happen with Stellan all because the power of prayer and the family of God getting the word out.........and over thousands went to the blog.

Now if we could get this for little Gavin Owens.


I don't know them....not at all. So why, you ask?


Because we are all the family of God and that's what we do: Pray for our brothers and sisters.....because we ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST.


And let me tell ya friend........when you think you are stressed out at yer job that's full of catty females, your baby won't sleep thru the night, the kids are fighting again, the trash needs taken out, the dishes need done, the teenagers won't listen, the laundry is overflowing, the husband won't help out......whatever it may be. I think there's always someone fighting a harder battle........ALWAYS.


Please pray for this family tonight and for Gavin......let's focus on seeing miracles happen.
AND BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.


Love you all to bits and pieces.......

The Tavianos!!!!

Here are some great clips of the family we kept this summer on their
52 Zoos in 52 Weeks!!!! It was great fun meeting this family for the first
time and getting to be a small part of their adventure.

Looking forward to their book that will be coming out....you can read more
about Marla Taviano, Christian Author & Speaker at
http://www.marlataviano.com/ and read more about their adventure.
I think the latest is that some TV stations (maybe CBS?!?!?!?) flew them
out to NewYork to do another story!!! Can read all about it on her blog!
Amazing to see how God is blessing this family's socks off!!!

Now go check out these clips....their girls are just darling!

Who???

The life that she’s known is falling apart
A fatherless home, a child’s broken heart
You’re holding her hand, you’re straining for words
You’re trying to make sense of it all
She's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view
She's looking to you
Just love her like Jesus, carry her to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions
Just know that He loves her and stay by her side
Love her like Jesus
-Casting Crowns


Who is in your life right now that needs to be loved by you, like Jesus loves you?
