Grandma's Brag Book

 You've heard of Grandma's carrying around a small picture album in their pocketbook (purse) with pictures of their grandchildren?  They called it their "brag book".  I guess we all think we have the cutest grandchildren and love to share pictures of them.  Well, here ya go....take a look in my "brag book"!








Here he is with his Great-Grandma.....


I had to include this picture of Faith 
 beaming down from a space ship  haha


And this lil' feller.....anybody know him?

Basketball Buddies!


Get up early in the morning....you might see a beautiful sunrise!
"There's something about nature, that when I see a sunset or a sunrise… I get up early in the mountains, and go climb to the top of the mountain, just to watch the sunrise."

How we made it through the winter

With the first day of spring in just two weeks (hallelujah!)  we decided to share with you  how  we made it through the winter.  We did a lot of bird watching, crocheting, knitting, craft projects, quilting, skyping, drinking coffee by the wood stove, quiet times, and the list goes on.  How did you make it through the winter?

Bird watching

Counting icicles...

 


Walking through the snow....

Tasting the snow.....
 Taste pretty good...



It's hard to sniff out the trail with all that snow!

 Having Quiet Times helps you get through anything!

Discovering a rabbit home...


Growing things :o)


Becoming a hunter!

Thanks to Aunt Jeanine, Faith learned to crochet and made lots of things. Scarves, dishcloths, flowers, hearts, cup cozies, ect.

A little preview of our loft room we've been fixing up....


I did another window picture....

I started this last winter and finished it up this winter.







Faith painted chalkboard paint on a little table.


Dime collecting...did you know if you save all of your dimes in this 20 oz bottle you will have $100!  It's taking forever!





Faith and I learned how to do origami....

I had the job one day of putting together Karl's tips for his arrows.

I made a little curtain for the shelf under the microwave.

Sunday afternoons.....

We made little jar candles...

Shopping with Faith is always interesting!

 Birthday and Braces!

Eye surgery for Karl.  Thank the Lord it's healing up good!

Driving through the snow

Lots of naps helps to pass the winter away!

Going to church.....

Of course playing the piano is a good way to spend wintertime!

Queenie doesn't think it will ever stop snowing!

Looking forward to warm weather!
