-----I would have to say when my Poppa gave me my purety ring and told me this.  "Sarah, I love you and I'm going to put this ring on your finger....then one day.....I'm going to take it off and another man will put another ring on your finger."   That was so sweet and I will remember if always!

Thanks Mrs. Amy!  This was fun!!!!!

Panda Crazy!

Pandas!  I love them!  They are sooo cute and cuddly looking that when ever I see them I just want to give them a great big hug!  (not that giving a hug to one would really work out very well. LOL!)
 
Not so long ago my sweet sister Emma and her friend Autumn made some tasty cupcakes......panda style! 

Using Oreos, raisins, pretzels, and lots of frosting and I don't know what all else, the girls made these adorable little bears!

This little guy was getting a little hungry!

The two wonderful decorators! 

Emma on the left and Autumn on the right.

                                                       It's a whole family of panda bears!!!!!

               You girls did such a great job!  And they were really yummy too!  They did not last long! lol! : P

Cat Fun!

Cats are a source of great cuteness, trouble, and laughter!  Here are a few pics. that I hope will put a smile of your face!  

Double cuteness!

                                                        Evil Emmperess Lucy! 
             "Sarah...you are not my owner but it is I....who.....own you!"  (use Darth Vader voice)   

Cats have soler tummys.

                                                             Is that a cat or a rug?

                "We may be on the same couch but that does NOT mean that i have to LOOK at her!"

Don't you just want to give me some milk?

"O.K.....so tell us again why you woke us up to take this picture?"

                                      "Now will you give me some milk.....please???"


Did ya smile?  :-)

Mother Daughter Conference.

Last month me and my mom and my little sister had the wonderful opportunity to go a Mother Daughter Conference!  I had never heard of the speaker Lesly Ludy before this conference and I thought out of the three mother daughter conference that I had attended that she was the best speaker out of the three!  Every time Mrs. Ludy spoke and in each session she was constantly terning the glory back to God!  Not about how she succeeded but how God has succeeded!  She was such an encouragement to mothers and daughters alike!  

We had some wonderful friends staying with us during this time and they attended the conference as well!  Mrs. Ludy stirred up some really good and deep conversation during that weekend! 

NOTE : Many of the following pictures are a little blurry which I much apologise for.  And some have not been turned the right way so ya kinda have to look at them with your head tilted a little.  Thank you for your understanding. : ) : P

                                      First we hit the weekend off with a Valentines Day party!

                                      We had fruit, chicken salad, cranberry salad, tea, and chocolate!

                    Momma did a great job decorating!  (Have to tilt your head a little with this one.:)

                              At the conference there were so many sweet friends to see and visit!

                                               Tamma and Alyssa....lovely sisters!

                                                 Emma and Lilly....more lovely sisters!!!

                                            Elizabeth and Jenna....my lovely sisters in Christ!!!

                                Craft time was great fun!  We made prayer books and recipe cards!

                                                  The food was very fun and tasty!

                                                          Sweet + silly = Joelle!

                                               Like I said the food was very tasty! : P

                                            The fellowship and laughter was priceless!

                                                           Mother and Daughters.

Then there was a lovely tea!  I did not really get any good pics. here. :(  But the memories are there! : )

                                                            (Homemade chocolate cake....yum!)

So, all in all it was a delightful weekend! 

Here are a few things that stood out to me that Mrs. Ludy talked about.

1- Making the Lord your first love.  Making Him your ALL in ALL.  Making the Lord the true prince of your life.   

2- Three ways to make Christ your first Love. 
(1) Give Him the best hours of your day.
(2) Lay down Idols/other lovers. = Anything that distracts you from the Lord.
(3) Becoming one of the few. = To be set apart.

3- About prayer.  Don't pray for selfish things.  Don't ever give up praying!

4- Giving God the pen to your life and let Him wright the script of your life!

And this was just a few of the richness that was shared! 

Please leave a comment!  I would love to hear what ya'll think!
