Adorable Charlie

My blog would be overwhelmed if I posted every cute picture of Charlie. :) He really is the most adorable, wonderful dog a family could ask for. Here is how I found him this morning in my living room. 

I love my dog, and he loves me. (My family is in denial that I am his favorite. But it's true!)

God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Gen 1:25

Mother's Day

I woke up to a delicious breakfast that my wonderful husband and daughter made. (Landon's job was to clean up after them...and trust me when I say, that is no easy task!)  :)

Delicious omelets, hash browns, toast, etc. 

After church they took me to Sakura for lunch and to the movie "Mom's Night Out."
It was truly a wonderful day!

I got a beautiful flower bouquet from my children, and a very special cross bracket from my hubby. 

I am so blessed.

Nothing, other than my relationship with Jesus, has brought more joy than being a wife and mother. I wouldn't trade my life for all the fame or riches of this world. THEY are my riches, and I am so thankful to God for this privilege!

Her Children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

Tournament X2

The week before Easter we had back to back Tournaments. Whew, it was crazy! 

The first was a soccer tourney in Prescott, AZ from Friday to Sunday, then instead of coming home, we headed to Phoenix for a debate tournament from Monday to Wednesday (late!) night.

As exhausting as it was, it was also very exciting! Payton's team took 1st in their division at the soccer tourney, and then....she and her partner made the top four teams at the debate tournament! (Which is VERY difficult to do. The competition is tough!) 

God sure blessed her! :)

 Getting ready for a nice pass....(or goal?).  Hmm...don't remember.

 It was SO windy in Prescott! It made it very difficult for the girls to pass, shoot, etc. because of the 80 mile an hour winds. (Yes, I'm exaggerating, but not by much!)

My champion! :)

 This is what my "daughter" plays between rounds at the debate tournament, but

....now it's time to get serious and debate! 

 Here she is with her friends for an Instagram pic, so I snapped one, too.
