The Christian Race

The Christian Race

Awake,our souls! Away,our fears!

Let every trembling thought be gone!

Awake,and run the heavenly race,

And put a cheerful courage on.

True 'tis a straight and thorny road,

And mortal spirits tire and faint,

But they forget the mighty God,

That feeds the strength of every saint.

The mighty God whose matchless power

Is ever new and ever young.

And firm endures, While endless years

Their everlasting circle run.

From thee, the overflowing spring,

Our souls shall drink a fresh supply,

while such as trust their native strength

shall melt away ,and droop and die.

Swift as an eagle cuts the air;

We'll mount aloft to thine abode;

On wings of love our souls shall fly,

nor tire admist the heavenly road.

~ Isaac Watts~

Beautiful sunshine

Hi everyone, we hope that you all had a great weekend!

It rained here both Friday and Saturday.

We were really thankful for the rain but the beautiful sunshine

made us all the more happy that it had finally stopped.

On our way to lunch today we noticed how green and

spring-like everything is

downtown.

We enjoyed our beautiful, sunny,windy,spring day!

Seedlings...

Hi, We hope that you all have had a great week so far.

We have stayed busy,as always! (0:

Here are a couple of pictures of the flowers that Katie is

raising from seeds.

Here are what they should look like once they are fully grown..

It truly is interesting watching them grow. (:

~Have a great Friday!~

Busy is the word..

Hi everyone! It seems like we haven't blogged in forever!

We have been busy with school these past two days and we also

had a busy weekend. So, there really hasn't been that much time

for blogging. Hopefully you all know how that is! (:

This past Saturday we went to Brevard,NC to attend our

sweet little cousin Madisyn's 4th Birthday Party.

She had a western themed party. She looked so cute! (;

There were horses for the children to ride.

Madisyn seemed to have a fun time on the slide! So,now we have updated you all on what we've been up to! (0:

We must go for now, there are tons of things that need to be done!

~Have a great week!~

My day..

First of all,I want to thank all of you for your kind Birthday wishes!

I really appreciated each of them.

I had a great Birthday. Below are some pictures from today.

My beautiful flowers!

So Pretty! Mom and I at Paisanos (our favorite restaurant). Katie and Daddy. Have a great Friday!

March 19th..

Holly turns 18 yrs. old.. Happy Birthday!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

New pictures..

Hello Everyone! Here are a few pictures that we took today. We have been meaning to make a new profile picture for awhile now since the one we had was over a year old! lol

We used photobucket editing to do this effect.. Harley hiding from the camera.. (; She truly is so precious! It has been rainy and cloudy here today. Hope you all are having a great weekend!

The Joy..

..of spring cleaning! lol That may sounds weird to some of you but believe it or not we actually enjoy cleaning! ( or at least Holly does..lol) (0: Yesterday Katie and I cleaned all of the carpet in our house. After hours of scrubbing,spraying and sucking up carpet cleaner the carpet looks new again! It really wasn't that bad to begin with since I (Holly) vacuum constantly. However, It does make you feel good to wake up and with the house smelling like new. So, Have you all started your spring cleaning yet? It isn't really a big deal around here since we "spring clean" at least once a week but there are those things like switching seasonal clothes,cleaning carpets,pressure washing, and such that we look forward to doing in the spring time... (:

Well, now you know what we've been up to!

I (Holly) am off to help mom prepare dinner for tonight

before I mop the kitchen and tidy up the rest of the house.

~Have a great day!~

Our Prince

Brother..(:

Happy Birthday Charlie!

(You're so handsome,Even if we do say so ourselves!) (:

Time to Spring forward!

Remember,beginning at midnight

It is time once again to spring forward!

Daffodils

Hi! So all of the snow is gone now lol

It seems as though we were posting nothing but

snow pictures there for awhile!

Now everything is back to normal..

No more slushy mess.

Although it was nice to get a taste of winter weather!

The wonderful blessings of spring time are appearing now

and it is so nice! We noticed that some of our Daffodils

have bloomed. They are so pretty. The tulips should be

coming up pretty soon too. We can't wait! (:

After finishing school today Katie and I enjoyed a nice afternoon of

washing the car and just taking in the beautiful day.

Is it beginning to feel like spring where you are?

Have a great weekend!

More snow pictures...

Hi Everyone! Here are the rest of the pictures that we took of the snow.

They are not in any particular order so that is why in some of them

it looks like less snow.

Enjoy!

We went for a drive to see some snow scenes..

Harley in her new coat! (:
