We had a great time skiing on the 1st!

It was Chloe, Annie, Jacob and John's first time skiing(mom, Gideon and I had done it once before), they all did really well and had a lot of fun! :]]

We all had such a blast skiing(even mom, she was doing amazing!) that we're talking about doing it again before the snow is gone!

I hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures!

God Bless!

Timber!!!

Well, we took the Christmas tree down folks. Christmas is officially OVER! (hahaha!!!)

Now I'm Lost In Your Freedom!

To be lost in the freedom of the Lord is to be stuck there. To never find your way out. It's a fantastic place to get lost! Let's make our prayer that the Lord will 'lead us into the wilderness', and lead us so deep that we never get out of His freedom, love, and grace!

The Scent of Molasses and Cloves!

I didn't realize that molasses smelled SO good! And so Christmasy! Mmm...

This evening I began baking the first of many Christmas goodies that will be for our Zielinski family Christmas party this Saturday! It's coming up fast and we're really excited! I saw a pretty picture of a gingerbread cookie on the cover of a Baker's catalog and decided I wanted to make some! So here's photos of the batch I made and hopefully they'll make it safely to Saturday without getting eaten! (The picture of the candy canes are just . . . well, they looked Christmasy and added to the "festive flare" of the post! :D)

Now That Christmas Is Coming. . .

We've been getting out our violins and flutes and practicing glorious songs of old to perform for Christmas! On Elizabeth's 16th birthday, our good friend Rachel came over to practice with us! And may I say: "Two violins are better than one!" =D It was simply a blast!

So this really gets one into the 'Christmas spirit. We've selected several songs to be rehearsing for our church's annual 'Christmas Sing' this month, and we're looking forward to it immensely!

I hope your having a fine Fall!

Annie, Gideon and I have started working at the Old West Harvest Fest every weekend! It's a lot of fun to do!

You can go on a hay ride,make a candle,pan for gold,feed the animals,and learn how to rope. Little kids can go on a old west wagon train ride! All the workers dress up in old-west clothing! So it's a lot of fun to work at!

I hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures! :)

God Bless You!

Happy 6th Birthday Christian!

Sorry it's been Forever sens we've posted on here! :O :)

September 21 was Christian Reese 6th Birthday!(though we celebrated it the day before). We weren't able to get any pictures on that day because none of our camera's are working at the moment! :) Hopefully we'll be able to put some new pictures up here soon!

I hope your have an amazing Fall!
