To my lil sis...

Happy 13 Birthday!!! Wow, time is flying like crazy.

You're not supposed to be a teenager yet!! But you are... and a gorgeous one at that.

There's so much I could say to you... but the only important thing is this: seek Jesus with ALL your heart. NOW. While you're young. He's so worth everything you have.

Love you,

~H

It Just Goes

3 things that ALWAYS go together: bare feet, popsicles.... and Summer.

I don't like popsicles, but nonetheless, they're an essential part of the Summer... especially when you have lot's of little siblings w/ their friends over. This picture pretty much takes the cake for... Cutest. Picture. Of. The. Year. It's just so cute and little boyish, and bright, and summery... and it's one of those pictures that you don't need a caption for. One look and you know exactly what was going on in their heads. I love pictures like that... so yeah, I love this picture. :)
And just because.......... me with all the little people. This was a VERY impromptu picture, which is kinda obvious since I'm on the phone AND looking like a dork. I still liked it though.

Ok well I'm about to leave for church so I need to go get ready... I hope you're all having an amazing Summer!!! Blessings, people...

~H

and he's all mine:

Yes... I have my own personal (ok, more like TEN of my own personal..) little Winnie The Pooh bears. And they're about the cutest thing ever. Seriously, you have no idea... :) P.S... the new movie was great! ;) lol

Have a blessed Sunday.......

Must Have Done Something Right

Next to Owl City... Relient K is definitely one of my favorite bands... and this is one of their best songs. (in my opinion at least...) Anyhow.. it's Friday, it's raining, and this song was stuck in my head... so I thought I'd share it w/ you all. Have an amazing rest of the day... and weekend! :)

::words of wisdom from my favorite bear friend::

"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."
-- Winnie the Pooh

A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.
-- Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A. Milne

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.
-- Piglet, Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A. Milne

If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. I’ll always be with you.
-- Winnie the Pooh

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.
-- Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A. Milne

If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.
-- Winnie the Pooh, Disney Pictures

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"
-- Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A. Milne

Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.
-- Winnie the Pooh

Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.
-- Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A. Milne

When looking at your two paws, as soon as you have decided which of them is the right one, then you can be sure the other one is the left.
-- Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A. Milne

"Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
— A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)

"Some people care too much. I think it's called love."
— A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)

"I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time."
— A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)

"How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet
"You don't spell it...you feel it." - Pooh"

Yep... I love Pooh bear. And yes... I'm going to (hopefully) be going to see his new movie Saturday. In all fairness... I have little siblings!! ;) lol

4th on the 12? Oh yes...

Soooooooooo.......... I haven't been able to upload any pictures until now because our internet has been weird. Anyhow... here's some pictures from our 4th. It was one of those days where we had EVERYTHING planned... and NOTHING went according to plan. So we spent aaallll day doing just whatever....

We stopped and took pictures with this handsome gentleman. :P
We went on a carousel... and this spinning thing (basically like the teacups at Disney), which I did like RIGHT after I drank 40oz of powerade.... yeah, needless to say I just about made myself sick. lol
And yes... of course there was Donald. (and company)
Random pic of this very cool building...
Then we rode these awesome bikes!!!!! Sure we all looked a little funny doing it...
but they were fun and I don't care. :)
Have I ever told you about my bro's cool shades? Cuz they're cool... just sayin.
Owner of said glasses...
And... we played golf. Mini.. but golf all the same. Believe it or not... it was my first time ever really playing, but I totally loved it. And I got 3 hole-in-ones!!!!!!! lol So the day 'officially' ended with us sitting by a huge lake and watching a gorgeous firework show... now the 2 hour ride home? That's another story in and of itself... let me just say this.. you get 8 kids together at 2am.. and it gets crazy. I mean, like really...................

So there was my 4th in a nutshell.... how was yours?

one advantage of going to see Cars 2 in 3-D:

p.s.... internet has been down... pictures coming soon. ~H

Somewhere In The Middle

Somewhere between the hot and the cold
Somewhere between the new and the old
Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be
Somewhere in the middle you'll find me

Somewhere between the wrong and the right
Somewhere between the darkness and the light
Somewhere between who I was and who you're making me
Somewhere in the middle you'll find me

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender
'Cause I'm losing all control

Fearless warriors in a picket fence
Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep-water faith in the shallow end
We are caught in the middle

With eyes wide open to the differences
The God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His
Or are we caught in the middle?
Are we caught in the middle?

Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
Somewhere between a whisper and the Lord

Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle you'll find me

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender
'Cause I'm losing all control

Fearless warriors in a picket fence
Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep-water faith in the shallow end
We are caught in the middle

With eyes wide open to the differences
The God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His
Or are we caught in the middle?

Fearless warriors in a picket fence
Reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep-water faith in the shallow end
We are caught in the middle

With eyes wide open to the differences
The God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His
Or are we caught in the middle?
Are we caught in the middle?

Lord, I feel You in this place
And I know You're by my side
Loving me even on these nights
When I am caught in the the middle
Caught in the middle
