Missing in Action...

So I have been wondering where all my pictures from the past few months were. Apparently I did not load them onto my computer like I thought I had...so here are a few

The creek is where my friend Anita lives in Montana. She was gracious to have us at her house in September.

Jessica is standing on the stump from the tree we had cut down in our back yard.

The blue blow up thing we rented for Jessica's birthday party. We had a ton of fun with it for sure!

And then just a picture of our house from the back yard. I love this house and when it is cleaner I will take more of the inside.

The Beach

What more can I say...

fishing 2010

I hope this worked?

Home Again

Back home again...it was a summer of fun but here we are home again. But really home is where your heart is even if you are not there with it I think. I am thankful for our summer and for the new adventure here.

DC

Washington DC. One of my favorite places. Taking my kids is a highlight!

The Beach

We officially arrived at the East Coast on Sunday, June 13th. It was a great ride!

My best friend Nancy and her kiddos were so much fun as we invaded their home for a few days. Boy did I need to recoup. It was a good thing I went there cause I would not have been ready for entertaining the kids at Nana's without a rest. Thanks Nancy!

Then it was up the Shore we went! I love being here. I am soaking up the heat which hasn't been bad, and the humidity ;-)

We celebrated Father's Day (which also happens to be my parents and Charlie and my anniversary) with blue crabs and sweet tea. It just doesn't get any better than that! I could have that for dinner every night for a month.

The fries at the boardwalk were also calling, and I am happy to report they are GF! Yeah!!! After some games and rides we called it a day.

I love being home! I would spend everyday at the beach if I could.

Sure do miss my friends in CO! Wish you could join me here.

The One I like

Our contract was not accepted. The bank got a full price offer. That is for the best because this is the newest home I like...

We go to look at more on Saturday. So keep us in your prayers and we will keep you posted!

Bloom where ever you are

We are coming closer to summer, yay!

We are coming closer to closing, yah!

We are coming closer to the Lord, and for that I am thankful...

The offer we gave for a house was not accepted and that is determining some of our new plans.

I am a little sad, but not really. That house wasn't meant to be ours, somewhere there is one that is ours. The Lord knows where that is, and when we will find it. We are praying that we are looking in the right direction...

So, I am looking forward to being done with packing, done with this mortgage payment, and finding the next house. I am also looking forward to an unexpected trip east, with stops north and mid west!

Loving this season ;-)

More House

Here are some more from the house we offered on...the mirror you see is the basement. Each end of the basement are covered in a mirror wall and there is a huge mirror on the side wall. There is also a bedroom, bathroom and storage.

There is an irrigation ditch running through the back yard. The big plant is rhubarb. Should be fun to put a garden in around the rhubarb plant.

Possibilities...

This is the house that we have put an offer on to buy. We should hear from the Bank on Tuesday. It was built in 1977 with no updating as is evidenced by the decor. The yard is big with the start of a garden. It will be the beginning of a great adventure for us if we end up living here.

Nine years

Nine years ago this week, I was still in the hospital awaiting the boys. Everyday was a day of heartbeats and pool time.

Then on April 3 they made their appearance. Isaac was on the left and Silas is sporting the shades. Not much has changed, tee hee. Silas is still slightly smaller and Isaac is still a bit bigger. After three weeks on hospital care it was home we went. These are my miracles. I think I should tell them that more often.

Crazy

Ok, the previous post came up crazy in my preview but when I posted it was clear. I am so confused.

Anyway, the previous post is what I tried to put on facebook in answer to a friend of a friend.

I am done with this!

Trying...

"That is very noble. However, the justice and mercy come from our Lord, not ourselves. This is why our country has prospered for the time it has...it was founded on the truth of the Bible. Even those who did not agree or believe established this as the foundation. Today we are so far from our foundation that we have abortions being paid for with taxes and people denying that it is happening. There are blinders everywhere. "

on my wall or my friend's wall. It is said to be "abusive" by the message that comes up!! I am appalled that this comment is censored, however I have to block people for cursing and berating anyone who disagrees with them.

Please explain this to me:

The above is what comes up when I try to post my comment from FB that FB would not allow...

Welcome!

Welcome to my world! Hi, I hope that some of my FB friends have come to stop by. I recently deactivated my account and would love to hear from you here.

We are currently in the midst of selling our home to streamline our finances. So, in the midst of the boxes and mess, we are trying to maintain some order and sanity! Any prayers would be appreciated.

The Talent...

did not rub off on me. I have a very talented sister with a very good eye! Great job Amy!! Can't wait to show off your work in our staged house.

Christmas 09

This is a short video of our Christmas morning fun. I love that I can video something and put it on my Mac and make something like this. It was fun to do.

Firsts

First day home...

We had no clue what to do with them! We were sitting on the couch looking at them and each other going "Now what do we do?"

Getting bigger...

Our family picture this year...

Adventures with Amy

So, Amy moved back to VA in August. You know what that means...cram as much as you can into a month!

So off we went in search of many things...this time, the ultimate climbing tree. So, we drove to Morrison with an idea of where it was. We found it...only to find that it was surrounded by water. Hey that wasn't here before...look at what those beavers did! So, no climbing could be had that day, but we did make another memory! Never a dull moment with the Spicer girls!!

Daddy's Summer Project

This past summer, after we decided to stay in Co, the girls needed beds. We had been making due until we moved. Suddenly something had to be done. Jessica was almost four and still hadn't had her own "big girl bed"! So, the building began...
This is her first big girl bed. Chloe has one too and now there is lots of room to play in their tiny room! The girls love them. The next project is to get them painted. Great job honey!!

The Game

So when Amy came to visit she left a little game...The "What am I drawing/writing?" Game. They loved it. I was never any good at it as a child and really didn't like it. But then again, they are so much smarter than me ;-)

We miss you Amy!!

A LOOOONG TIIIIMMMMEEEE!!!!!

Wow, I knew it had been a long time, but really. Is anyone still checking this thing?! I have not been on here forever. But I did not die, at least not physically!

So June 2009 was the last post I made. What on earth has been happening since June 2009? Not a thing (wink, wink).

When you last tuned in we had put our house on the market and were moving to Daytona Beach FL. I sure would like to move far away from this snow!!!!

However, God has much more for us...so in July - just like that here we stay. I know this is the Lord but boy am I arguing in my heart ;-)

So, I have to say of all my experience moving...it is much easier to move into an empty house some where else than to move BACK into the SAME house in the SAME place! Not so much because of the place but because the house is not empty! But, after much prayer and time I am now sort of unpacked again. Of course we started school, had holidays, and did the unpacking all at the same time!

So, we are staying, but much to our surprise, Aunt Amy is not! Sigh again. So we crammed as much as we could into August and she left. Really? yes. Sigh.

Ok, moving on by the grace of the Holy Spirit....we begin new things here in Denver. I am excited to see what God will do this year 2010. What a great new year it will be...

Our first adventure...

Amy came to visit. See the picture at the top. Wow I even have to remember how to post on this thing ;-)

Well, signing off for now. Be sure to leave a comment if you read this. I would love to know if anyone still checks. So sorry for the delay!
