Sharing Photos

It is about time I had a few photos to share. With school finished and summer beginning, I hope to take more photos. Here are a few from May! I really loved the day my husband drove us up to the mountain to spy on this cute bear family! We had no idea she was a mother bear, until we heard not one, but two baby cubs crying!  Love our Heavenly Fathers earth and the perfect nature He created!

5-17-13 Our annual Lost in the 50's Parade!  Most years during this time our weather teases us with rain and possible thunder.  It did sprinkle a bit, but it turned out perfect and our town enjoyed the great parade.

Sweet family getting ready for the parade!  Love these two! 

Growing up, but her sweet spirit remains pure and perfect!

5-23-13  So we didn't see these guys first.  We saw momma just walking around.  Then we heard their cries!  Have you ever heard a bear cub talking?  They almost sound human!  So cool and exciting to be able to enjoy this!

Going higher and higher!

"Betcha I can reach the top before you!!!"

"Momma?"

We also saw a few does grazing the mountain grounds!

Momma resting while her cubs were running around.  I do believe she was feeding one of the cubs before I took this photo.  Not sure, but then she began cleaning herself. 

So very thankful for where we live. A little bit of everything here. Thank you God for you blessings! 

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. Romans 5:3-5

Late...Again

Time is moving...I am rushing, feeling like I can't stop and breath.  Our fifth year of homeschooling is coming to an end.  My oldest is finished and moving on to 9th grade!  She finished strong and aced everything!  I am so proud of her!!! 
Still finishing with my soon to be 5th grader.   The day we decided to switch her curriculum has put us little behind, but I am so happy with our choices and I don't mind us being a little behind.  We should finish in two more weeks!  So proud of how far she has come and the knowledge she is gained!  Thank you Lord!
The garden has been planted, the grass is being mowed once a week, projects are being discussed and soon to be in action!  So much to do!  Tomatoes and peppers are in as of last night...hope they make it.  Looks like a storm is brewing!
The new chickens are growing super fast and we need to move them into the bigger coop SOON!  However, we also need to cull the older chickens to make room.  Fourteen chickens are way to many for our backyard.  Also, we may have another rooster...not sure yet.  
I have lots of photos I haven't even looked at and I hope to sit down at the computer soon to show a few!  Seems like I have put my "picture taking" on hold...which I haven't, I just need a few moments to share them. 
Church is incredible and I am so very thankful for the people we have gotten to know.  Our Life Group on Sundays will be slowing down now that summer is coming and we will be meeting about once a month.  I will miss our studying here together, but look forwards to planning other things...hopefully camping!  I pray that we will continue to study Gods word and hold Him at the top of our list! 
So, I hope to continue with this blog once in a while.  I want to keep in touch with those who read it.  Just other priorities have taken its place.  So, I will try and come back soon with another update!

May God bless you during these weeks and may you find Peace in Him!!!
