Truett's Birthday!

Yesterday was Truett's First Birthday.

Celebrate Truett

Oh how I love that little boy.

Best Summer Craft

By far, this is my favorite craft I've run across this summer.  

I love Tootsie Pops and I love mustaches.  Winner!

It makes me smile every time I see the pictures.  What a simple, wonderful, hysterical idea.

Thanks to Mary Black Orrozco for her ingenuity on this one!  She's our children's director and made a TON of these for the VBS at our church this summer.  Awesome.

First Things First.

I've been super-busy lately. And I can't even complain, because it's really just that my life has been ACTION-PACKED this past month-in an awesome way.  So I have much to update you on.

First things first though: Alisa Learns to Surf and Doesn't Die

1. It's a little wave, cause the day we went was moderately flat...but it's headed my way. PADDLE FAST to try and get up to speed with the wave(ha!).

2. Pretty decent placement, push up and try to get up on my knees, then feet.

3. It's breaking on me...time is ticking and I'm failing.  On my feet with almost no time left before this wave is dead.

4. Time's up. I got caught by the wave instead of the other way around.

5. No worries, I'm on my feet in no time, steadying and readying to head out for more.

6. Don't be fooled. I'm ready for more and, believe it or not, I've actually caught a better wave or two than that.  I'm gonna dominate, just gimme time!

Tommie and I are HOOKED!  Now to start scrounging up the cash so we can buy a board...our loaner's heading back to it's rightful owner at the end of August.

Come visit. You know you want to surf.
