Z's birthday and July 4

We made a figure 8 race track cake for Z's birthday.  He's pretty nice about liking my wanna be tries.  He had a nice birthday with his grandparents and great grandparents over for supper..and Karen.  For his gift he got a tackle box with everything in it that an 8 year old could ever dream of having in it!
 To celebrate Independence day we visited Stuhr Museum.  It's an 1890's?  Railroad town.  A living history town. 
Three bad boys ended up in Jail...with Gwen to visit them...

Zerrick made an escape...gleefully!

At the Blacksmith shop...He's telling Matt at what temperature things do what or something.....

The blacksmith's coal HOT fire. 

A bunch of mischievous boys and one pink smarty girl....  In front of the grain mill.

On the wagon ride...about all tired out by then...

After our exhausting, hot and good time there we came back home for some fishing at the pond for the boys and a delicious grilled supper at the folks.  And we ended the day  with much explosion and tiredness in Friend sitting on our lawn chairs gazing at big booms in the sky.  Which was really fun because Keagan was THRILLED with them and kept saying in his squeaky hyper voice..."That was cool." 
   And lest I forget....Happy Anniversary to my parents who will be celebrating 49 years together tomorrow!  I am blessed to have parents like them.  And I wish I had a collection of good pictures of them like some of the rest of my family does.... :)  Someone put some up for us to see ....

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
