Someone Special

You all know this face. My little sister Cherish is 10 years younger than me. She is the only sister I have and I love her dearly. I moved away from home right before she turned 6 so I missed out on a lot with her. She has surprisingly good memory of the things we did get to do though. I'm thankful that I have her with me now. We do the things we didn't get to do while she was growing up, like dye Easter eggs, wrap Christmas gifts, bake cookies, make Grandma's fried chicken or just sit up and watch movies. She has grown a lot since she moved here and I'm very proud of her. Now if I can just get her to slow down her driving we'll be doing great! Ahh, the concentration of the artist!

I took this picture the other night. Going for a different type of shot. For some reason it took these flowers FOREVER to finally bloom. They didn't last long either, maybe a week and thats all she wrote!

Doesn't that football mom look familiar? Yep, this is what comes from Sheldon! Now doesn't that just spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E?
Break it down boys!

Ok now, this is a total little hunk a man! Just don't tell him I said that!

Gimmee an "R"!

Well, here she is! The newest Raiderette!

Pooh started cheer practice on Saturday with the assistance of her Daddy! He took her to practice while I was at the church moving. All I can say is...he is a WONDERFUL Daddy! Not many men would be willing to go through this for their little girl, but Eric did. Whats more impressive...he remembered the cheer and the names of the moves!! LOL


No Daddy! With enthusiasm!
Now on a more serious note. I hope ya'll enjoy these pictures, because when my husband sees this post...its gonna be, dead woman walkin!!

He really is a good Daddy, don't cha think?

Faith will always see you through

It may sound silly to most and thats ok. When I look at Christina's arm it has always reminded me of my faith in our Lord. No matter how bad the situation, how painful the moment, my Christ, my God has always walked me through. At times I've lost sight of Him when I've come up against what seems to be an impassable wall, but He's always right beside me, waiting patiently for me to hand over the reins. You are always changed somewhat when you reach the end of the dark tunnel and step out into the light. Just as Chris was changed through her ordeal so are we all through our faith in Christ. He does and will always walk us through, if not carry us completely.

Better late than never I guess. Sorry girls!

Per the Iceman's request...

Getting ready.
Bubba and Jimmy taking a breather.
Jamie, this is the one Bubba said hurt his butt. LOL
Bubba LOVES his helmet! Its hard to see but there is a black stripe down the center.
Another breather. LOL

I guess we can say that my taste in jewelry is a little "different" than some girls. I don't really care for diamonds and yellow gold, which makes Eric smile by the way. I love silver, especially with some Swarovski crystals in it! This is a picture of one of my favorite necklaces. I'm not thrilled with the way they turned out, but I do love the subject! I think I'll post more pics of my favorites.
