Life is a Zoo sometimes!

Hey There. I just stopped in to give you some advice.

You ever feel like life is a zoo, hectic, and mischievous

and all you want to do is stay curled up in your bed

and sleep the day away.

I've got to tell you the best thing is to get out of bed

sit and look around until you wake up

all the way

Who knows, if you keep your eyes open

you might find that someone sent you a suprise

Your day will always go better if you remember

to kiss your loved ones

Hugs and cuddles help alot too!!

Make sure to take time in your day to

take a nap

or just relax and enjoy a good book! :)

On thos hot days, enjoy a cool treat

These cool treats are always best when shared with friends though.

Towards the end of your day, take time

to think of all the good things that happened, and

maybe you could even thank God for all the good things

He's allowed to happen in your day.

Now I know your sad this advice session has come to an end,

but don't worry, there will be plenty more good blogs in

the future. So make sure you come back to check them out

;)

All these pictures were taken by me =) I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did taking them.

Tornado!!

We had a tornado in Titusville, lots of excitement in our little town! We were blessed, no casualties and no huge damage like disappearing houses, Just a few smashed by trees.

Hail

Flooding

The wind slapped all these leaves onto the side of our

church building

Fallen Trees

Beauty after the storm

Happy Birthday Mom!!

On Mom's birthday we went out to Presque Isle, the peninsula on Lake Erie. Of course not all these shots were mine, most were, but obviously the one's with me in them I didn't take, some mom took on her own and a few I asked her to take :D We had a lot of fun goofing off. There was a storm coming in so it was quite windy, but it made for some awesome shots!

Happy Birthday Momma!
Here's the beautiful lake, and the sun shining off of it.

As we were walking down the beach we came upon a big hole dug

in the sand, it made a nice little shelter from the wind!

House boat! I'd love to rent one of these,

Imagine... fishing from your front porch!!!

Here's Andrew and I... No matter what it looks like, He was

trying to tackle me!! lol we were having a blast

Just some tall grass and a broken fence. :)

Andrew doing his Tia Kwon Do moves

on the beach! He looks like he's flying to me!

:)

Someone stood this big piece of drift wood in the sand

it was huge!

The light house

This was after many shots with bunny ears! Boys.. sigh

this was at the little gazebo thing by the light house

through the roof. :)

It was a gorgeous day with a gorgeous mother. Mommy,

I love you so much! Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day, I couldn't have

asked for a better Mom than you! You're the best!!!

With all my love!

Revival!

This post is going to be different than any other post I have done before. :) Only the first picture is mine. I will reference the use of the other pictures at the end.

The other day while I was praying a picture popped into my mind.

In the book of Acts and throughout the entire Bible the Spirit of God is referred to as a fire.

Moses and the burning bush, to the day of Pentecost when they were all

filled with the Holy Ghost and "cloven tongues like as of fire sat upon each of them"

I was picturing a fire, it starts out in one person's life

just a little spark, a fire, a passion rises up in

a life of a child of God.

Fire is contagious, in a forest fire, it starts out just consuming

one bush then it jumps to another and another.

Just like in church, one person gets the fire, then pretty soon someone

else gets the Holy Ghost fire!

Until you have a Huge and Powerful forest fire. A fire of revival that is unquenchable!
It's a consuming fire, a church full of passionate believers that start witnessing and reaching
out to those in need! It's unstoppable! It's Powerful!


But!! It's got to start somewhere... My prayer is here I am Lord,
let the fire start in me, use me to spread the Holy Ghost passion! I'm just a willing
vessel ready to be used of God to spread the fire of revival!
How about you???

My weekend at Dad's

We spent the majority of our day with my dad fishing, we had a lot of fun. I often find myself with confused interests when fishing. I LOVE to fish, but if I brought my camera.... do I keep vigilant watch on my bobber or do I find other things to take pictures of. LOL I did a little bit of both and still out fished everybody!

This picture is funny, because I had caught 3 fish before anyone else had caught their first

So when Andrew started pulling a few in my dad was feeling quite left out. Andrew pulled in

a large panfish and was rejoicing in his catch when my dad finally caught one. It was a catfish!!! but it was not much larger than his thumb. We had a good laugh over that one!! A panfish that

is quite a bit larger than a catfish?? how often does that happen??

This pretty redwinged black bird decided to keep me company

a large part of the day, and I managed a few good shots while fishing ;)


Aren't they pretty!!!

Here's my favorite. The water doesn't even look real.

The ants were really interested in this plant.

I never figured out why...

BUGS!

Andrew and I being silly on the ride home

from our fisihing trip.

Want to know the score?? I caught 7 ( 5 panfish, 1 perch, and 1 large catfish) Andrew caught 2 ( a panfish and a crappie both decent sized) Dad caught 3 ( one tiny catfish, and 2 tiny perch... poor daddy) lol

Terrified

I was going through some of my old photos that I have taken over the years, these ones are from march of 2008. :) Remember that Andrew was only 9 in these pictures! :D

Here's Andrew admiring the teeth

on this dinosoar. They look

pretty scary to me too.

I told him to stick his head in there, he

wasn't so happy about the idea

I wanted his head really in there, look how
scared he is. He was pretty upset
that I wanted him to do that so bad! :P

Lol, He's not scared of things like that now that he's older and much bigger ;) but I thought these were cute! Hope you enjoyed

Andrew bought some playdough and didn't want the pink because it was a girl's color. SO I got it =) And being the little kid at heart that I am, I had some fun with it!! Take a look =P

Roses!

I love these special affects!! =)

More roses

Flowers and denim! :)

close up

pretty pink =)

Which one is your favorite, and why?? =)

SPRING TIME!!! =)

Spring time has finally come to our little town. =) I took some quick pictures when I was out for a walk, hope you enjoy!

Look at all these flowering trees! :)

City Hall looks pretty

this tree sure has a leaning problem :D

Pretty pink! :D

Hope your spring days are filled with sunshine and flowers ( and NO MORE SNOW!) lol God Bless
