Hershey's puppies are being weaned.

They are 5 weeks and 2 days.

Still little, very playful, and awful cute!!

I love this stage:)

They love their dog mash!

~ Ecclesiastes 12:1 ~

Remember now thy Creator in the

days of thy youth, while the evil days come not,

nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say,

I have no pleasure in them.

Elaine-week 6

Just as Esther previously said, we were able to visit Powell Gardens with her family yesterday. This was one of my favorite flowers. I love the variety of color and the dark spots all over.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace while you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope and the power of the Holy Spirit.

When I was studying the Bible earlier today this verse really struck me to think of THE God of Hope and TRUSTING in Him so that you can overflow.

Esther Week 6!

Elaine's family and mine got to go to a Botanical Gardens today together. I had to get a picture of both of us on the plastic horse ( even though Elaine has a real horse), but we did have a lot of fun together!

This is one of the many flower pictures I got at the gardens today. It was so beautiful!

Leave a comment and tell me what your favorite flower is?

1 Timothy 6:17

"Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy."

God, life is what You make it, not what we do alone.

My cousin Cora took this picture.

Mary, her and I all did a photo shoot at our park one afternoon.

It was lots of fun, of course:)

This is one of my favorite pictures, (and not because it's me!) just because of the randomness and the fun writing on it...That's Picnik for you...Another reason why you should use it!

Cheerio.

Sitting around before fireworks.

An awesome fireworks display.

~ Psalms 8:1 ~

O LORD our Lord, how excellent

is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set

thy glory above the heavens.

Elaine-Week 5

Like Esther said in her last post, my brother and I were able to travel to Nebraska with her family for the 4th of July. It was a wonderful trip and we all had a great time! In this picture: (L-R) Esther's Grandma Bev, Esther, Me and her cousin Cassie.

Now unfortunately, this wasn't taken on our trip, but I love patriotic flowers! I think it is pretty cool how many colors flowers can be, even though they aren't always natural colors...:)

This last picture was taken on our trip. My brother and Esther's brothers had so much fun being able to light off fireworks with each other! This was one of their biggest shots--my camera couldn't capture it all.

I am so thankful that I am blessed with several encouraging friends like Esther. This Bible verse doesn't have much to do with the fourth of July, but spending this holiday with Esther and her family made me truly realize how fortunate I am to have encouraging friends.

Psalm 119:36 "Those who fear the Lord are my good friends."

Esther ~Week 5~

A firework show we got to watch on the night of the 4th!

    At one of my cousin's house on the 2nd of July ( L-R Elaine, Me, and my cousin Erin).

 This picture I thought is really cool!  You got to click on this one to see it better!

 Wow, we had such a good July 4th!  Elaine and her brother came with our family to Nebraska for my extended families get together!  We had so much fun lighting fireworks off, sitting though a 2 hour parade (even though it was hot, it was a ton of fun still),water balloon toss, and lots of funness!

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."   Matthew 5:16

..::Patricia::.. (Week Five)

Yesterday, as y'all should know, was the 4th of July! Hurray!

My family went, with a whole bunch of friends to a concert in downtown Denver.

It rained, was windy, then got bright and sunny.

Though classical concerts are not my favorite, it was still fun visiting with people, and feeling patriotic...

But I have to say, the fireworks were FANTASTIC. I love when they shoot them off during a song, it is SO fun:)

My camera died right when the fireworks were happening so no pictures of those.. What a BUMMER.

But anyway, here are two pictures that I took through some rainbow glasses they handed out.

(Which was fun)

Have a happy week!

Emily Week Five

I am so excited! My photography is taking off. A few local stores downtown have asked for a total of about 15 photos! I even sold one today. (my first sale:) Please pray for God's will to be done...I'm really excited about where it's heading though. Actually, right now, I can hear the printer printing off the pictures. (for those of you who don't know, my dad owns a print shop) I can't wait to see them framed!
This is a picture I took of our sunflowers. We had so many blooming, but this was the prettiest.
By the way, thanks to all who endured my last post with my brother! :)

"Behold, the beauty of the Lord."

P.s. As I looked at the date for today, it dawned on me: July 4th! Sorry for not being too patriotic! Have a Happy 4th of July.

We went to our friends ranch, It was beautiful!

I got to ride their cow!! It was actually an ox. (an ox is: a trained bovine.)

They teach their oxen to work as a team and pull a wagon with a yoke.

Its amazing how muscular and powerful cattle are.

~ Matthew 11:29-30 ~

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
