Where has August gone?




The month of August seems to have flown by.




 With Family visits,



trips back to 1861,


baby sitting for friends for date nights,

 going back to work,


visits with friends for dinner (home made tortillas),
 
wisdom teeth being pulled,



summer weather finally arriving bringing  fruits to perfection,


birthday parties,


and a new car.

The blessings have been overflowing this month.




 The time of new teachers and new schedules has arrived, Sophomore with  JROTC on his mind and lots of hopes for the new year, 8th grader with braces coming tomorrow along with finding out her fall schedule and cross country practice around the corner (the girls loves to run - God is so great to have blessed her with a love run), and a first grader who just wants to stay with her kindergarten teachers because she loves them and she "just knows the new one will only talk Spanish to her", silly girl.

The quiet before the storm of  homework, JROTC meets out of town, cross country runs all over the county and beyond and the refreshing of our chosen second language.


We still have 3 more Civil War reenactments to participate in; a local one in Tieton, WA, one at Ft Stevens near Astoria, OR, and Plain WA, near Leavenworth in October. I have plans to make another dress for myself this winter and a short sleeve one for Addy as well.  The boys have all the gear they can carry at this time, all that is left is a Tent for all of us to stay in where we can join the other civilians in the Mason/Dixson township.



As I finally edit this and upload it is now the 8th of September :) Time is just flying by. So many more photos ans stories to up load.

Oh, it would have been so fun to meet you! We live so far away (Eastern Oregon) that going to one reenactment a year is about all we can afford. But someday, it is our dream to do it as family. I'm so glad you enjoyed the pictures! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog so I could come visit you :) Blessings, Jackie

Hi Nicole!

I am Stacie, Jackie's twin sis. I saw your comment on her blog. We were also at the reenactment. Thank you for participating! We had so much fun watching everyone and learning about the 1860's.

Blessings,

Blizzard blog hop

I joined in on the Blizzard Blog hop via household6diva Feel free to check out the nearly 200 who are linked in so far. My name is Nicole and I blog over at Be Anxious for Nothing  . I have been at this blogging thing for a few years and love the opportunity it gives me to see other women wanting to be an encouragement to those they can even via the web. I blog mostly about what matter to me,  my family and my faith. I have been married to my man for 16 + years and have 3 wonderful children.  I love the Ocean - here we are at the beautiful Outer Banks of NC. We woke the children at 525 AM to see the sunrise and none of them even complained.  I can usually be found with some form of coffee with in a few feet of me. I love sunrises and sunsets, and taking photos when the opportunity arrives. We built our first home in 2009 and this past summer I grew my first 'tiny' garden. The tomatoes were a big hit. This is the love of my life, we w...

45 & Counting

The days ahead of my birthday were filled with wonderful times, friends and reflection on my part. I'm blessed to have these handful of ladies to be doing life with right now. They challenge me in striving to lean on God, look to His Word in scripture and I'm reminded I'm loved, as well to humble myself. They all love Jesus and each adds a great JOY to my days.  I've been given a life underserved. With days of grace and mercy, He pours out on me, a love I still don't fully comprehend.  The richness of blessing that is my husband. His amazing example of love through serving. I was spoiled for days, with dinner, gifts, breakfast, more gifts, lunch, flowers, and yes more gifts. In all things, I'm full beyond words with a grateful heart.  The weekend leading up to my birthday, I had the opportunity to attend IF: Local here in Yakima.  We were given the verse:  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their hom...
