Trip to Rock State Park

Scott's 50th!

Weighing in...

Well, its summer(almost) and I weigh more then last summer!!

My dear friend Michele has started a motivation group to support each other as we all need to get healthier! (on this MB: Craft Happy Website in case you want to join us!)
I NEED this so much! I have been watching our dear friend (and our churches music pastor) as he started on his weight loss three weeks ago and he has done wonderfully! Lost over 15 pounds already! I am so proud of him, but also very envious...I know I can do this...
I want to lose about 90 lbs and realize it won't happen over night...but today is the first day.:

I know I can become healthier then this...here I am with my DD just last week:
She is beautiful, yes! (ready for the prom here) I want to healthier and today is the day!
(have I said that enough?)

Shanon's Prom

Finally catching up here on my blog...

Sorry its feast or famine around here! I finally got some blogging caught up...hope you scroll down and see the ones I posted.

Made my first EVER French Bread...found the recipe here:

French Bread, Part 1

French Bread, Part 2



The recipe makes four loaves! My family had them all ate by the next day. A pot of soup goes VERY WELL with this bread!

Our Small Group Bible Study

In case you have been wondering where I have been and why I seem to be NOT creating many crafts lately...its because our church decided to do Rick Warren's, "40 Days of Community" 6 week Bible study. We are hosting a small group here in our home on Tuesday nights and what a blessing it has been. The *purpose* of this study is to learn to reach out in God's love. As a small group, we are encouraged to find a way we can do that... and we did! (I will post later what we did do!)

Anyway, here is our group...they have been a blessing to get to know!(or get to know better!)

Seth playing guitar for Worship!

We had a combined worship with our Spanish congregation on Sunday, April 19th. Seth plays for the Spanish congregations service...so he was asked to play on stage for our contemporary service. Can you tell he enjoys worshiping!
