Family History-Guess who?

Take a look at the photo and see if you know her full name, what side of the family she belongs too and where she was in the photo. (If you know right off who she is...tell me what thought came to your mind.)

Birthday Time!

Just thought I would show you the tastiest birthday gift I received this year. Momma and Nathan sent me this beautiful fruit bouquet! The chocolate dipped strawberries were soooooooo good! I also got lots of wishes and hugs and cool kitchen/bath items, money and gift certificates.

Birthdays are so fun. Glad they come around every year! Thanks everyone for making my day so special. I felt so loved!

No place like home

This past Sunday we went to Hartsville so Will could speak at church. It was so great to have all my family together in our little home town. As I sat down in the Hartsville ward, filling two rows with all my children and grandchildren, I leaned back on the padded pue and thought...this feels so right! I was completely surrounded by a church full of my dearest friends. We received tons of greetings and hugs and they treated us to a grand covered dish meal afterwards.
My children and I decided to go by our old house and visit our neighbors. It was fun to see my children standing together talking about all the memories on Bluff road. No one seemed to notice or think about the crusty old yard with the lack of landscaping, the broken up driveway or the run down old house with the one tiny bathroom....just all the years of fun and love that held our little home together. I have learned it really doesn't matter where you live, just how you live. I am thankful for a our wonderful little hometown for my children to grow up in!

Time for a new look

David needed a trim and I needed a haircut and my dark hair back! Here are some before and after shots. What do you think?

David is just going for a little shaping up after his bad hair experience in the fall.

Here is the blaa washed out , haggered Kim after a long day at work.

Now for the results:

Now isn't that a handsome young man! Trimmed in style.

...and a more pleasant version of Kim with a nice improvement!

(Layered and back to the color the Lord gave me to start with. )

We had Jerry come along and talked him into getting a trim too!
