PhotoStory Friday

Three weeks before Christmas the shopping and most of the wrapping was complete. Now that being said, I did have moments after that where I could not resist one more gift;) This pile of receipts had me in shock (3 days hard work..shopping). Give "Mom" a girls week away to shop and no worries...success in every way including the retailers. Can you tell I was able to make many stops at several locations?:0) Heaven..sick I know!

PhotoStory Friday

This is how the bathroom looks in less than 10 minutes with a house FULL of girls! It is mass chaos when getting ready for school. The circuit system is amply qualified. As soon as the whirlwind dies down it is hastily cleaned up for the next round. Wonder if I should just leave it that way?

Here's to a New Year!

What a wonderful journey 2009 has been. The path has not always been easy..however worth every step because I have my family holding tight.

Here's to a Happy New Year!

PhotoStory Friday...

It is always a treat to go with Dad/Hubby when he needs to travel for work. This particular time was up to Jackson Hole, WY. In the relatively small town there is this labyrinth. Everybody was running the course as Kelcie stood and watched. She came out very clear in this picture while the others are slightly blurred. What impresses me about this photo is it reminds me of my life. There are so many times when I feel life is running by me in a blur of fury. Sometimes I feel quite lost and alone, other times I just want to raise my arms and shout for joy at the utter speed and grace that surrounds me. School starts in a couple of weeks...Where has the summer gone? It may have flown by, but I take pleasure in remembering the sweet moments of the last few months. Now it's time for a new fury to begin...getting the girls up for school:)

P.S. Thank you for all of your love, support, following the group on facebook and especially the prayers for the Hunt family. Daniela has been found and is reunited with her family. Truly a blessing.

PhotoStory Friday... What Makes You Think of Summer?

Ah the lazy days of summer. Trees and umbrella for shade. Brightly colored toes. Bright blue sky with the sun warming the lens. Just one of the many pictures whether in my thoughts or by camera that make me ever so grateful for this season.

Hart Reunion July 6th 2009

As I was contemplating the journal aspect of the Hart reunion, it occurred to me that I could not do only one post about this event. Because each day is one! There were over 200 pictures taken just from my camera alone on this day. We started by heading to a place to swim, Store Gulch. This happens to be my favorite place to bask, sunbathe, and swim/float ( I am my own personal buoy) and enjoy the sounds of happy children splashing about. The Illinois Valley river is full of places to indulge oneself in swimming. We look forward to doing this activity a few times while we are here every year. After taking in a full day of play, it continued. The ever so anticipated Bingo night. All the families bring their goodies for giveaways (especially Grandpa and Grandma Hart) and fill tables to overflowing. The kids, okay and even adults, take great measures to see what they maybe able to win. I was so excited to BINGO a pair of comfy pajamas:) This first picture summarizes a fun filled day, and just so happens to be my favorite picture of the whole reunion. What amazes me about the Hart reunion is how devoted we all are to making sure we can come. It is an anticipated every year event, of the kind to not be disappointed. What started out as mainly the siblings and a few spouses, with beginnings of children. Has evolved to grandchildren and great grandchildren. We even enjoy the "friends" and added family that come to enjoy in the festivities. With the Harts...the more the merrier!
