Enjoying the Sunshine


It is sunny and 66 outside right now, we had a great Sunday morning at church, and I don't think my mood could be much brighter ~ it's gorgeous!

 


Harrison let Phoebe practice with his BB gun. She hit the can off the box a number of times.




Phillip is preaching in another town this morning, so we just came home and ate leftovers. I thought the variety was funny. Harrison had a cookie and a boiled egg. I had three different leftover meals piled into one bowl. Phoebe made a sandwich with a hunk of bread she brought home from work. (She's not angry, she's just intensely eating her meal.)


We celebrated Paul's 87th birthday last weekend with peach pie (Elayne makes the best peach desserts!).


Silas and Harrison had a huge yard of snow to play in while we were at Mimi and Papa's so that was fun.


Uncle Earl and Aunt Pat, Debbie and Mateo, and Aunt Anita were all here this weekend. I didn't get any pictures, but we sure have a good time talking and eating while they're here.


I attend a ladies' Bible study on Thursday nights. Someone usually makes a cake for each birthday, and this one was for Jennifer W made by Norma. It was a heart cake since it was Valentine's Day. We've been going through Psalms. I enjoy getting together with these ladies.


Harrison and I were at home one evening, and we decided to make clay creations to stave off boredom. 
He made a pulpit.


I made a very sad little piggy. If you had only seen the picture this was based off of, you would indeed realize how sad he is. He was supposed to be cute and cuddly.


Some ladies at church concocted this idea of secretly putting our kids' faces on t-shirts and then showing up at church with them on. Christy got it all set up, and we had a lovely time of fellowship and ironing.



I just put Phoebe's picture this time around. Harrison will get his turn for something embarrassing in the future. Phoebe's friend told her at church that morning what her mom had done with the t-shirt and then asked Phoebe if her mom had one. Phoebe told her that her mom would never do something like that. 😆 Then we revealed our shirts during the church service, and I got a big surprised look from Phoebe. "Mom! Why would you do that?!" Loved it.


It was also the Sunday that the youth cooked and served a meal for the congregation.





Lanaya Elizabeth finished her birthday sweater. I love those colors.


Jonathan sent a picture of him at the rodeo with his Wednesday night group. He's the fifth one down. He had midterms this past week. I can't believe he's halfway through already!


And so we go on to continue another week of school and work and life.
