Kaylee turns "22"

My niece Kaylee turns 22 today! It feels like it was just yesterday when my Sis would bring Kaylee to meet me for lunch when I worked at UC Irvine. Kaylee is all girl! Loves accessories! Loves to plan her outfits! Loves to  get manicures and pedicures! Loves to have things to look forward to! 


Kaylee is just a few months old here...wearing an outfit I got her!


Enjoying my lunch hour with her at the UC Irvine Arboretum 


Kaylee and I all dressed up at a friend's wedding...


Kaylee's Beautiful Wedding Day!
(all grown up)

Happy Birthday Kaylee!
May this 22nd year be blessed with God's promises and plans He has for you. I am so excited to see what is in store for this year. May you continue to fall in love with Jesus more and more each day! 
We love you Bigger than the Sky!

Love,
Aunt Sis

My little place of my own...


Oh so nice to have a place of my own...a place where I can dream and imagine! A place where I can pray for others and believe for answers. A place that says, "Shelley" all over it! We need places like this in our mind and in our heart. Where in the middle of chaos and noise we can close our eyes and picture Jesus sitting next to us. Where we can be quiet and still and Know that He is God!

On one of my little daily flip calendars it says, "Security is not the absence of danger, it is the presence of God." Wow isn't that true? Anywhere the presence of God is we can feel safe. Knowing He is right there with us!

So thankful for the Hope we have in Jesus! Thankful that he created us to dream and imagine all the things he would have us to be and do in this life! We are the ones who place limits on ourselves not Him.


Oh how I love how He knows me so well! He created me to worship Him! I see God in the details of life. In flowers, in landscape, in the sky, in situations that sometimes seem to hard for me, in people that have touched my life in one way or another, in music, in quiet places and times and in the loud places too!

Take time to imagine your happy place! Dwell with Him there! Invite Him into all the dreams you have! He desires them for you too!

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 NIV

Landon turns "19" tomorrow on January 2nd...

 
Thinking about this weekend nineteen years ago...Larry was watching football, Chase was playing with his toys. I was having contractions...they were getting closer and closer. In the meantime I am telling Larry I think we should go to the hospital. He kept saying one more play, one more play. As in he was watching a football game lol! Sure enought we arrived to Kaiser in Anaheim Hills, CA with 20 minutes to spare. Our dear friends The Price family met up with us in the parking lot and got Chase from us so he could stay with them while I was having Landon! We are so proud of Landon. It has been an awesome nineteen years. He was born on a Saturday! Now that I think of it, of course he was. He loves the weekends! So thankful he loves the Lord with all of his heart and knows how to enjoy life!
