Sunbeams!

You know when your driving and see the sun peeking thru the clouds and there's all these sunbeams shining thru. I love that so much!

When I was little I thought when I saw these sunbeams that Jesus was standing right at the center of it.

So whenever I see this randomly at anytime during the day it brings a smile to my face and a warmness in my heart.

To bad my windshield was really dirty for this picture because this one took my breath away.

When we have these moments randomly happen to us throughout the day then take the time to soak it in and be grateful for everything you do have.

I'm grateful for my:

family

a home to live in

my husband who works hard for us

friends

vehicles that work

the gospel

and many many many other things

Salsa

These little tomato's are from the aquaponics so before they go bad we need to eat them up.

The family said "please make some salsa" Perfect!

I had to grab some more tomato's because these were just not enough

I thought I would post my recipe here if anyone wants it.

I don't put any sort of spicy or hot in it because my little family cant handle it.

I put in

cilantro

lime

tomato

onion

green chili

garlic

salt & pepper

 I mix the tomato's first to give room

 These scraps are going to the chickens and turkey

yes those bananas could've made a delicious banana bread but I don't have time.

Yummy goodness for the family!!

This salsa lasted the whole week because I made so much but the family loves it and I love that they love it!

Jalepenos

Oops! I forgot to post about Lowell and Isabelle's first soccer game. I've been busy which is very good and since sharing my blog  I've had over 1000 views and several orders, so Yay!!!

 Thanks everyone!! I'm so excited about that!

A couple weeks ago the kids had their first soccer game of the season

and it was HOT!!! Yucky... I hate the heat

But they were strong and pulled thru, I was the only one complaining.

The team is the Jalapeños and they did awesome! 

I love watching the kids do there thing

 They came away with a win so we did the victory tunnel for them

Isabelle and Lowell with huge smiles

I love it!!

Oh Deer!

Julia wanted to create a wreath but she wanted to do something a little different. I love how her Fall wreath turned out! My favorite is the deer right in the center.

We have this in the house right now but it would also look

great on the front door.

Anytime Box

A couple years ago Mikey had some pallets laying around and my brain went to work trying to figure out how to put it to use. So I asked him to if he could make me a box to use as a centerpiece for holiday décor on my kitchen table. I love how it turned out and have used it for everything.

Birthdays, Valentines Day, pretty much every holiday.

 The box is 3ft long and 5in wide

 they can be also half this size

 Here is my Fall wood candle blocks and

I will have these in another post

 This is for my fall décor just to show what you can do.

You can fill it with anything you have already and it looks great.

This size box empty is $18.00

half this size is $13.00
