:: J + M = Victoria ::

:: My SIL Jennifer & her husband Michael asked me to come and take some 'official' family shots of them. I, the not-so-official photographer was honored by the opportunity and couldn't choose better subjects to photograph!::

:: Thanks M & J for allowing me to come into your home and boss you around for a few hours...I had a blast and hope you like some of the shots I got ::

:: I couldn't decide which ones were my fav's, so I decided to just post a whole schwack of 'em! ::

:: Family Time ::
:: In the Garden ::


:: Sweet Victoria ::

:: In the nursery ::

:: Happy Birthday Jen! ::

:: Today is my SIL's birthday -- and boy, what a year she has had! She not only got married but also had her first child (just 2 months ago) ::

:: Happy Birthday Jen, you are so much fun to hang about with and such a great 'Aunty' to our boys! May God be ever present in your life in this coming year ::

:: All our love, Paul, Shawna & boys ::

:: *This photo was taken today at a family photo shoot I did for Michael & Jennifer...More on that later* ::

:: A moment in His word ::

I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:9-10

:: In the simplest form of what you do in your everyday life do you serve Him? Do you fear? Do you get upset? - If you do (which is yes, cause we all do) remember this verse ::

:: He says; you are chosen, I am with you and I am your God ::

:: That's good enough for me ::

:: I saw this last night on.... ::

:: Jon & Kate + Eight and I thought y'all (and for future reference for myself) could use this recipe ::

:: It's EDIBLE yes absolutely EDIBLE Play-Dough --- What could be more fun!?!?!? ::

:: Their kids seemed to enjoy it and figured out pretty quickly that it was edible and said it was tasty...I'll take their word for it. I'm not so much into eating food that has been mashed, pulled, rolled by hand -- but hey they are kids...why not! ::

:: EDIBLE PLAY-DOUGH RECIPE ::

"Smooth Peanut Butter Play Dough"

2 cups smooth peanut butter

2 cups rolled oats (I don't think Kate added this but instead a little flour)

2 cups dried milk

2/3 cups honey

Mix all ingredients until thoroughly combined.

Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container

:: Happy finger-licking-face-making-dough-rolling time! ::

:: You Are Invited! ::

:: So I have decided on a date for my Stampin' Up night and you're invited! ::

:: Come and enjoy some chocolate fondue, some great fellowship and of course making a card and learning a few techniques from Stampin' Up pro Jo Ann ::

:: This night isn't just for scrapbookers, but if you want some great ideas for birthday parties, baby/wedding showers come on out! ::

:: Date: April 15th ~ Time: 7:00 pm ~ Place: My House ::

:: Look forward to seeing you here! ::
