lots-o-pics

so here are some pics that i’ve been meaning to upload since last weekend and just haven’t got to it yet.  the first set of pics here are from our erie trip last weekend.  the lake was just gorgeous and the lighting was perfection!!!  i could never have turned down taking pics there, ever. 
can ya’all see that joey is almost as tall as me now?  how CRAZY is THAT!!!
this picture is from our car ride home.  you know the kids and i have to do something so we aren’t bored the entire time.  so i got my camera out and we took crazy pics.  super love the look on joeys face here…
these are more pics from my early morning walk last weekend…i just ADORE the pic of the hay bale!!!  especially in black and white.  i’m fairly sure that one will be getting framed in my house somewhere.  and the pic of the little bird…it was almost as if he posed right there for me. 

out for now

i am so thankful this week is half over…sometimes the short weeks feel the longest don’t they?  i am so so so ready for the weekend to get here…it’s going to be a fun one!!!  friday our store opens…it will be open from 11 – 6…i’m so super uber excited about that i can’t hardly stand it!  i’m heading to the store around 3 to hang out and will be there until it closes…stop in and see us!  after i leave the store i’m heading home for a family pizza and movie night…i so ♥ those nights!!!  we will be watching coraline and michael jackson:number ones…

saturday i’m sure i’ll spend my day cleaning house, getting out more fall decorations and burning some yummy fall candles…then in the afternoon i have a special meal planned and i can’t WAIT to make it!!!  we will be having crispy fried tacos, mexican white rice with fried plantains, nachos and fried ice cream.  oh yes, it’s mexican night at the cutlers!!!

sunday after church we will enjoy a good family dinner then in the late afternoon it’s off to jade’s first game of the season…she can’t wait to cheer!!!  the first game starts at 4 (joe’s group will be cheering) and jade’s game starts directly following (my group will be cheering)…and for the next 6 weeks that is how we will spend every sunday afternoon…

i was blog hopping today as i sometimes do and i came across a very touching blog…heck, it was more than touching…i sat and cried as i read some of her posts.  on her blog i read this and it SO hit me like a ton of bricks…we don’t always KNOW why we go through trials BUT we have to trust that He brought us there for a reason and that we aren’t alone…

And I don’t know the reason why you brought me here

But just because You love me the way that You do
I will go through the valley if You want me to
Now I’m not who I was when I took my first step
And I’m clinging to the promise You’re not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You
I will go through the fire If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that’s not my own
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I’ll never go alone
