Flowers...

Back in March, I planted marigolds, zinnias, cosmos, black- eyed susans, gloriosa daisies, and a couple others that I couldn't name. We have this big flower bed with rocks along the edges, and that's where all the flowers are.

There are new marigolds sprouting out of the old ones! Wow... God's creation is SO amazing!

Same with the zinnias!

My favorite zinnia plant EVER, currently has 17 flowers, and 6 buds on it! The one above is one of them.

Gorgeous, full, marigolds... My favorite are the orange ones, but I love yellow too=)

My tangle of zinnias and marigolds... [Note: They truly are "tangled" because they get top heavy, and the storms knock 'em all different directions!]

My sweet sister, squinting in the morning light! {You can see just how TALL the flowers are next to her!

BRILLIANT colors!

This is one of Mama's favorite flowers... gloriosa daisies

Beautiful lavender cosmos! (One of my very favorite colors=)

The rest of the flowers pictured, are from my flower bed outside the girls window... This one is a candy cane zinnia.

Small marigolds

I have never seen this coloration of zinnia before! But I love it.

But our GOD is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Psalm 115: 3

Happy Birthday Mama!

Our Wonderful mother turned 43 on the 18th!

After supper, we ate some frozen yogurt that Farrah made, {which turned out fantastic!!!} and we all had a mug of that. Mama {and every body} loved it.

Blowing out the supper candles.

The pictures are darker than it really was... Auto would have just used flash, and made it look even more unrealistic=)

Strawberry and Blueberry yogurt! [Yum!]

Farrah also tried making cones, but only a few turned out... so only a few of us got one.

We are SOOO thankful to the Lord for you Mama!

WE LOVE YOU!!! 

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

Psalm 33: 1, 18

Independence day at the Street's farm.

For Independence day, we went to the Street's farm!{They are a family from our church} The Wilsons, the Lytles, [Also familys from church] and my grandparents, were there too.We had a wonderful time.

On our way!

Eating on the front porch

Brothers playin' in the HUGE front yard. (If you look closely, you can see an orange ball that Russell had just thrown in the air!)

After we ate, we all went outside for a game of kick ball! Bo getting ready to kick...

You can see behind the lawn, the Street's animals, they have a big and very beautiful farm!

here he goes!

William's turn

I thought this picture was neat... The lighting was gorgeous!

This one too...

On our way home, there was a storm... I got some pictures of it coming up on us. Since I sit in the very back of the van, I couldn't get that great of a view...

And it was a very gusty rain storm

It pored! Except the dangerous factor, I actually really like driving in the rain!

Happy 9th Birthday William!

William Wallace is 9 YEARS OLD!!! 

The Haren family came down from NC on Saturday, spent the night, and went to church with us the next morning. Which happened to be William's birthday! When we got home, the Coopers joined us for supper and desert afterwards. The cake and ice cream {mint chocolate chip and vanilla} that Farrah made, was SUPER good. Several people said it was the best they ever had...

Blowing out the candles..

The HIGH energy boys!
