A song about daughters by Shane and Shane

January 26th, 2012
Hey hey sweet daughter
I am so proud to be your father
Each day is like a gift from God
Hey hey sweet daughter
There’s no music like your laughter
And your smile is like a rising sun
You know I loved you from the start
So come in close
Take my hand for
Daddy shares his heart
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need
No matter what you walk through
He will always love you
Just the way you are
For there’s nothing in this world
That I’d walk for my baby girl
That she’ll be happy ever after
The story of your life is still untold
I pray the King of all the Universe
Would make your heart His own
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one
Who will never leave
He’s been there all along
All ready You can find to love
I wish that I could be your everything
Be the one to give you all the things you need
Sometimes I’m gonna let you down
But there’s Someone if you just believe
Be your hero like He’s always been for me
Darling, Jesus is the one you need

Spring Weather in January!?!?!?

January 20th, 2012

Well, isn’t this a funny suprise God sent us this week?  Highs in the 80′s in the afternoons!  I don’t even know how to dress my children.  There is a cool breeze in the mornings and warm in the afternoons.  They will look a bit silly if they show up in flip flops and sleeveless tops…BUT, I don’t really mind.  They look darling and won’t complain about being hot anymore.  So, if you see my kids sporting summer clothes just laugh on while you are sweating in your winter clothes even when it’s 80 degrees.  At least we’ll be comfortable :) Here’s to living in Texas in the Winter!!
The scary thing is that my kids are already complaining about being HOT!!!  What the heck are they going to think when we hit July????

Wrap It Up

January 20th, 2012

I have a new favorite lunch spot in Boerne that allows me to have a healthy and delicious meal all for under 10$!!!  Wrap It Up is now open in the shopping center that Subway is located.  It’s behind Subway Compass Bank and well worth driving a little bit further down Main Street to check it out.  Every fresh vegetable you can think of!  Peppers, tomatoes, avacado, bean sprouts, mushrooms and TONS more!!!  You can build your own wrap, pile on your own bowl or order some of their yummy tacos.  Their choices of toppings are endless.  Meats, rices, beans, and vegetables all allow for a full lunch that will leave you satisfied and not feel guilty about what you just put into your body.  So…WRAP UP what you are doing and head over to the new Wrap It Up in Boerne.  You will be happy you stopped by.

I HATE cedar!

January 9th, 2012

Hate is a bad word at our house!  We can say we don’t like something but if we say we hate something we get in trouble.  But…I HATE cedar!  My allergies are killing me, but my poor son’s are even worse!  His poor eyes are swollen, red, watery, he sneezes ALL day long, and his rash on his body never goes away during this time of year.  We’ve been to allergists and dermatologists and pediatricians and they each have him on some kind of medicine.  NOTHING helps my boor baby!  So, my reason for venting about it here…if you have any home remedy’s or suggestions as to how to give him some relief please email me!  I hate seeing him like this.  Breaks my heart for my sweet boy.

10 Commandments For A Great Life

December 5th, 2011

Thanks Courtney for these…
Someone has written these beautiful words. Must read and try to
understand the deep meaning of it.

1] Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble,
but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout.

2] So why is a Car’s WINDSHIELD so large and the Rear view Mirror is
so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look
Ahead and Move on.

3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it
takes years to write.

4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they
will not last forever. If going wrong, don’t worry, they can’t last
long either.

5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a
Diamond, don’t forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always
need a Base of Gold!

6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from
above and says, “Relax, sweetheart, it’s just a bend, not the end!”

7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities;
when GOD doesn’t solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: “Can there be anything worse than
losing eye sight?” He replied: “Yes, losing your vision!”

9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and
sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has
prayed for you.

10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES, it takes away
today’s PEACE.
