Wyatt Will Do It

A month ago I thought I was being funny, and wrote on our car. And then took a picture (of course). This is what I thought the result was:
And if you can't tell, it's says: "Wash me! (Wyatt)"


What I didn't find out until later on was that the result actually was that Wyatt had to wash the car. (Haha, if I thought this would work every time, I'd write all my instructions to him on there...).
Which is kind of funny. I really hadn't meant it that way, I just wanted the picture.

However, it got me to thinking, and Wyatt really will do things like that. He is such a hard worker when he chooses to be. If something really needs to be done, Wyatt is your man. Speaking of men, He's going to be fifeteen today. Which as an older sister is a bit of a strange thought. But when you have a brother who works hard to act like a fifeteen year old, be mature like one, and love Jesus, it makes it believable.

I think you are such a hard worker Wyatt, and I'm really proud to be your sister. Happy Birthday!!

Beautiful Days

I think beautiful days come in many different forms and appearences. Just like people. :)

The beautiful days we've been having this week are fog filled with a bit of rain in between. But I think it's beautiful. :) Especially when you stop and look at all the little things around you!



I loved the water slowly dropping off the berries on our tree. And the tiny reflections you could see in the droplets.


Water laced onto spider webs looks pretty amazing as well. It ends up showing the intricate detail of spider webs that are harder to notice otherwise.

I think all of it though points back to one thing--a creative designer.

And I sure am grateful to know Him. :)

Never Boring


Often I make the statement to people that our family is "never boring". And this is true. We can be loud and obnoxious. But never boring.
We're all rather interesting people and even one of us could probably keep a boring family on their toes. Wyatt especially adds laughs into our lives though.
Today after looking out to the street, and seeing my brothers, I thought I'd take a picture, and let you see a fine example of our creativity and "unboringness". =P
That's a bike, a jumprope, an old toy car... And Wyatt and Jefferson.

Time Does Fly--But I won't forget!

Time is flying, I can't believe we've been here a month already! Kinda crazy.
After being here a month--I LOVE IT!! Alaska has been such a HUGGGE blessing.
God really did know what He was doing when he moved us here. =P
There have been so many wonderful things we've enjoyed. Both physically and spiritually.
For me... I've never felt so completed by Jesus. And He completes me in a way nothing else can. It's amazing to say the least.

Anyway, 'lil update there, but I just wanted to assure any blog readers, that I haven't forgotten my promise to blog...
Hehe I have a really good post coming soon this week, so look for it. :)

In the mean time, have you ever tasted raspberries straight from the bush? I hadn't until coming here. I'd had blackberries and blue berries, but not raspberries. And let me just say--they are amazing! The Smith's neighbors have a huge bush in their yard, and they've let us pick from it. :D
Hehe. :) Yummy huh?

"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:31-34
