Elvis and his helper...

Here is Elvis's helper.  
This lens was fogged up on this pic...but I thought it gave it a vintage look.  I sorta like it. :)
She did most of the picture taking and filming while my hubby was out doing his campaign. 

She put in a whole day's work with her daddy. 

I gotta give it to her for going out into town with her daddy dressed up in some silly costume.  


Really....

I don't think I would have dared been seen with my dad like that. 

She enjoyed her one on one time with her daddy. 

Laughing,

chatting, 

eating lots of Jelly donuts,


and if they were still hungry....

dining at some fast food joint. 

She loved it!!

The previous day she really looked like a 60's girl.  I had her hair all teased up and ready to go!!




PS...
I feel like I need to continue to sharing some of the little blessings God has been bringing continually to me. 
This is how He is revealing Himself right now to show me....
His love, His closeness, His providence

Sunday: 
A friend, who is a single woman handed me $50. 

Monday:  
A woman from church who is a friend drove over to my house to give me a $100 gift card for groceries

Thursday (Last night):  
At my bible study....a friend came me puzzles for my little ones. 

Why is this so significant??
Well...
earlier in the afternoon as I am setting up my kids homeschooling schedule and activities for the little ones......

I "thought" not prayed.....
"I need to get some puzzles"

When I arrived at my friends house for bible study I saw puzzle sitting on her counter top.
The Lord spoke to my heart and said....
These are for you....
I argued with Him saying "I don't think so".....

So as I was about to walk out the door my friend says....
Oh Chris, these are for you.  

I had the biggest smile on my face and my heart seriously jumped with joy,
knowing that the Lord is indeed meeting my needs.  

Yay!

Yay! Yay! Yay! Thank God! He's so sweet to us! He care about the little details of our lives! So insignificant, yet so meaningful!

So cool! I love to hear things like that. God is amazing and I love Him so much.

BTW, I would have died with embarrassment if my dad dressed up like that. I think that says something about your girl;)

How's the weight loss going?

Joyful Mother wasn't very Joyful....

A short little post to let you know I AM OK!!  I know the last post was rather hopeless than hopeful.   I am doing much better and I do feel like there has been a bit of a breakthrough in my attitude.  I have been letting every little thing on this journey bother me so very much.  It doesn't matter what it wass....it was bothering me.  I was even snappy to my mother-in-law the other day and it wasn't very pretty or Christ Like at all!!  :(    I am so very thankful my mom-in-law loves me unconditionally and embraces me even when I am ugly.  Seriously!  I was letting everything bother me!!  I had been making myself out to be a burden or a "visitor" rather than a daughter.  I wasn't allowing myself to be accepted rather I was making myself out to be a burden.  A burden that no one had put on me.  I did this to myself by listening to the enemy's lies.  After a good talk with my mom-in-law and with the Lord, ...

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

Turn that TV off!!

Finding time to blog has been a little tough lately.  I don't know why.  Maybe it's because I feel I don't have anything good to share but then again that would be totally out of character for me because I am one of those women who can talk your ear off for hours and share with you my life story.  Truly!  So.....not having anything to say is just a big excuse.....ok so maybe it is finding the time.  As of late, I've been really, really striving to do the best I can in being a good steward over my time, children, and homemaking.  My heart's desire is to have an orderly home, orderly children, and a peaceful atmosphere. There are those days where I dream of being in a place where life is a bit simple....where I don't have modern technology like computers, tv, game systems trying to grab the attention of my children.  I don't know why this is so easy to "default" to when a "break" is needed or when I need some "alone time" or j...
