Horse Girl

This young lady just won all of her model classes and a championship on Jazz at the JC Horse Show! 

Hot, hard work pays off. 

Go Laurel!

"Behold, children are a gift from the Lord."

Driver's Ed Prep

 And THIS is how Noah prepped for his Driver's Ed driving experience. 

Getting Dale Jr. to sign your racing helmet!

Something must have rubbed off on him, cause he did well. Now clear the highways.

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord.

(Psalm 127:3)

Jr. Race Fever

Race Fever is catching. It can be contracted at most any age. [The Internet, in its wisdom, says not to use 'contract' for an ailment unless the ailment is serious.] Race fever is. Very. 

According to Junior Johnson, (and he should know), the best way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a big one. 

But once you catch it, you might as well run with it...so to speak. 

[Noah carting at Rush Hour]

[#3]

Some people get over it and go on to have a normal life. 

[Noah practicing burn outs]

Some people never do!

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord.
(Psalm 127:3)

Our Own Ukranians with Love

 These 2 are G's Ukranian grandchildren.

Pray for peace in Ukraine.
Pray for bio relatives still in the country.

God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. 
(Ephesians 1:5, NLT)

Funny & Clever: a good combination

 

This smart and sweet boy, funny beyond his years, 
is 10! 

This is the cake he and G made. His idea to decorate with peanut butter M & Ms. It was delicious!   

When he was very little,  

he made up 2 phrases that we still use as "excuses" today. We find them incredibly appropropirate, depending upon the occasion.

        "I think I not."

        "I can't want to."

Feel free to borrow them at will. You're welcome. 😁

"Behold, children are a gift from the Lord."

(Psalm 127:3)

Can you meet me?

G loves it when one of her grandchildren says, "G, may I come over? Can you meet me at the road?"

There is a busy side road they have to cross to get to G's house.
G loves to go and watch for them to be sure they cross safely over to her yard.
G loves to 'meet them at the road!'

Here she comes...

G loves waiting for her girl!

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord.
(Psalm 127:3)

Persimmon Time

 Had to stand in the back of the truck to reach them. 

Had to leave a bunch of good ones hanging out over the pond. 

But it's all gonna' be worth it when Mr. James transforms them into Persimmon Pudding! 

One of the special things I wait for all year.

for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true
(Ephesians 5:9)
