We have a new President!

Yes...we have a new President. Even though I did not vote for him, I will pray for him and his family and the decisions he will make for our country. It says in the Bible that we are to pray for our leaders and those over us. I know God is in control and He is looking over us during this time. I am so proud of our country and the way we transfer the position of the Presidency from one party to the next. Rick Warren gave an awesome prayer at the inauguration this morning. Keep praying and believing!

Me and the boys!

On Wednesday, I was with Mason. He told me stories gave me lots of smiles. I love that!






Then tonight, Dylan came for a visit. He loves taking a bath in my garden tub because he can crawl around and stand up. He found the faucet tonight and couldn't figure out why he couldn't catch the water.


It's been a good week. We own a motorcycle parts business which I've been working at since the first of the year. I am enjoying learning about receiving, ebaying, that there are at least 50 million parts and that my son Dallas is amazing at what he does. God is good and we are leaning on him during this time more than ever. We just opened this business a year ago and it's doing well despite the economy, it's just that we are not profitable yet and pray each week for the cash flow to continue. Like I said, God is good. We prayed for this business and he is providing for it to continue. My husband still has his regular job. Thank goodness for that!

Isabella Joy only hours old!

My sweet grand daughter Bella turned THREE on Sunday. My what joy she has brought to so many people. She is talks to you like someone much older and with so much expression. She is good company. She is polite, funny, full of energy, smart and loves to pretend. She is asking questions about God and loves to read her Children's bible. She can sing many songs. We celebrated with a BBQ, cake and presents with family and a few friends. It was a nice Sunday afternoon. I can't believe my precious Bella is 3! What a joy being her grandmother for these last three years has been.

Smile!

I had a little down time finally and was visiting a few of my favorite bloggy friends when I found this on Kats blog. Kat at Justabeachkat is passing this along from her friend Charlotte from At Home in Scottsdale who found this at Isabella's Closet. Mary designed this and was freely giving it away to anyone who visited her blog and asked that it be passed on to bloggers who make us smile. Charlotte and Kat said, "If you are visiting here and you're smiling, go ahead and grab the award and let's keep it going around blogland." It made me smile too. Just look at it. So I grabbed it and now I'm saying the same thing to you. Let's keep the smiles going!!! Thanks Kat and Charlotte...you guys always make me smile anyway.

We had a wedding!

On Sunday, December 28, 2008, my son Dallas remarried Selena(the mother of his children-Bella and Dylan).  They planned it, invited their family and a few close friends and they had their wedding.  It was in Big Bear, CA.  We all had to buy chains the day before because they have lots of snow in Big Bear at this time of year.  We didn't need the chains and it was a beautiful, warm winter day.  The bride was beautiful, Dallas was all smiles and Dylan and Bella were perfect.  Hubby and I pray that the Lord blesses their marriage,  that they will grow old together, always laughing and making memories forever with Christ as the center of it all!  Enjoy the pictures!

New Blog coming?? And Pray!

I'm working on a new blog name since I hit the BIG 5-0!  So keep checking back and  I will let you know where you can find me next!

In the mean time, please pray for my FIL, Ray.  He is 89, we have been with him all day and had to admit him to the hospital tonight.  He is diabetic, his kidneys are failing and his EKG showed some irregular heart beats tonight.  He is a believer so if it's his time, he is ready to go.  We just have some hard questions to ask the doctors....how long does he have with the kidney failure getting worse(he should be on dialysis but is he too weak)?  God is in control and we know it.  It's just hard to see someone get so frail that has been so strong all of his life.  Pray for my MIL, Arlene.  This will be a hard time for her.

**Ray with my son, Dustin on Christmas eve.

Happy New Year!
