The Burgess Wedding

It went without a hitch...and Loretta is now Mrs. Bill Burgess. Seriously, this was such a sweet and special day. She absolutely loved everything we did for her for the wedding. And he was sooooo thrilled to get his "Baby." She originally didn't want any wedding at all, so I pushed and pushed...and so did her pastor and his wife. Loretta is so glad we did. She walked sooooooooo slow down that aisle on the arm of John, she was taking in every single person and every bit of the moment. It was really a special day. When Marilyn called the happy couple the next morning, she said to Bill, "Your wedding was beautiful." Bill replied, "Because I married a beautiful bride." Seriously...how stinkin' sweet is that?? 92 years young and he's the happiest young man out there!

G. Looney's Doggie Bootcamp

Well, Zacchaeus is off to Doggie Bootcamp with G. Looney!! He was all excited to get in her car, then looked at me as they drove away like, "Hello, Mom, you were supposed to get in the car too!" Since we're leaving for family camp, he will be staying the week with my mom. We've never been away from the little guy that long...only once did he stay with somebody that wasn't one of us, and that's when he was little, little...so...off he went to his Doggie Bootcamp!

Had to make G. Looney a bootcamp shirt and put Zachie in his matching camo bandanna.

Family Burger Night

Last night was a fundraiser for our upcoming Women's Retreat...Family Burger Night at FAFC. Claude and Araceli entertained us with beautiful music...Bob Palmer and crew barbecued the burgers...the women set everything up and served...the people came and really enjoyed themselves. It was really a great night!!! Here are a few of the decorations I got to make for the event...plus we set out crayons...loved reading what people wrote while they were fellowshipping and eating dinner...the people of this church love our church and our pastors and the staff...what an awesome display of reverence and fun!

End of Love To Pray

I was so blessed to be the table leader of some amazing women during this study. God is moving mightily through these women and there was such a connection. Last night was the end of the study and it was powerful! Thankful for Lori, Kelly, Gigi, Regina, Wendy, and Liz...will continue to pray for them...knew I had to give them annointing oil so they can have it handy as they continue to pray, pray, pray, as they've learned to Love to Pray!

Gilbert is our Sugar Daddy!

As you all know, Gilbert and Regina have become amazing friends. The way that they so lovingly serve in sooooo many areas is just remarkable! Well, Gilbert is the kind of guy that wants no public acknowledgment for what he does, so we will quietly give him his Father's Day gift from the Single Moms group. Thanks to my handy-dandy Christie, I was able to put vinyl on a simple spatula as the card to go along with his personalized apron. The moms and the team wrote him the sweetest thanks! I just knew when I saw this lunch pail, we had to get it for him too!! Gilbert is our Sugar Daddy and makes the sweetest lunches!!

Zacchaeus' New Trailer

IT'S OFFICIAL AND WE'RE PROUD OF IT...WE'RE THOSE WHACKY DOGGIE PARENTS!!! Our little Zacchaeus got his own trailer so he can go on bike rides with us!! Can you believe the price of a doggie trailer is higher than a kiddie trailer??? John, with his amazing shopping skills, found this baby on clearance...with a coupon and shipping...under 100 bucks!!! Had to personalize it, of course...thanks to my Cricut and vinyl, it now says: "Zacchaeus the wee little dog" on the back with a paw print...paw print on the flag as well! Maybe we'll hear people singing the song as we bike on down the river trail!

Gracie's Dance Recital

It's that time of year again! Gracie's dance recital is tonight...back at the beautiful theater at Huntington Beach High School. Gracie has been with Laura Roberts School of Dance for many years...it's always a really nice show and brings back the memories when Chelsea began dancing with Miss Laura!! Here is a pic of the gift card holder I will give to Gracie tonight. I'm always saying to "Shine For Jesus," when our kids perform...of course, had to bling it some too!! Loved the pink and black combo so much from Mother's Month for the Single Moms, plus it reminds me of old-fashioned ballet colors! The last picture show what it will look like when the card is inserted. Can't wait for the show!
