My Heavenly Father loves me Mama's Weekend

So I went on a little mama vacation to Guntersville State Park.  I spent Friday and Saturday nights at the campgrounds.  It was wonderful.  I really needed that break.  I loved it and was thanking Heavenly Father all over the place for the beauty of the earth.  Here are some pictures.
This is a picture of the lodges.







 Yay Electricity!!!
 Yay Running Water
 My creative Tarping with at 24x12 tarp for a 14x9 tent



 View from the tent.  So Beautiful.
 Thank goodness for technology and FANS.  A must have for camping!!! Especially this time of year!!!



I was so grateful to Heavenly Father the whole time.  I thanked him the whole time for the break, the beautiful water, the wind.....On the way home I was singing Church Hymns and praising him.  I was singing "Because I Have Been Given Much" when I got pulled over by a cop and got my very first ever speeding ticket.  I was actually very grateful to Heavenly Father for looking after me and slowing me down because a little further up the road it was raining so hard you couldn't see very far, in an area where the road had many turns.  I know my Heavenly Father loves me.  I thanked him for all my many blessings.  Even the blessing of receiving the speeding ticket to slow me down and keep me safe.

15 years married and still makes me laugh

The other night I went to my room to go to bed.  Karl was already in bed but woke up when I came in.  I had my light on my phone on so I could see where I was going, and it shined in his direction.  He said, "woe" sounding startled where we then had the funniest conversation.
I said, "Whatever you weren't asleep anyway." laughingly
He said, " But I wasn't as bright as 3 squirrels."
I said, "What? Squirrels aren't bright."
He said, "Because they make you drink dark."
I said, "How do squirrels make your drink dark?"
He said, "Because they're small, like frogs and spiders."
I said, "You're not making any sense."
He said, "Whatever, your the one who doesn't know the difference between frogs and spiders."
I started laughing at this point.
He said, "What? I can't find my L."
I said, "What for?"
He said, "nothing"
I said, "What do you need your L for?"
He said, "So I can find the end of my face."
I busted up laughing and said you aren't making any sense.
He said, "Whatever, you just don't get it because I'm smart."
That was probably the most coherent part of the conversation.  I laughed so hard.  I love that he can still surprise me and make me laugh after 15 years of marriage.

Made one for the girls too

Funny things the kids said on 4th of July

Kayla during fireworks:
Yay, more purple more purple.

Michael after fireworks:
Oh no the moon is broken.  Me: No, it's not broken there is just a cloud in down the middle so it looks like it is cracked in half.

A few minutes later Michael says:  Yay, it's fixed.

The cloud had moved.

Handmade Crochet Teddy for Kayla

I made this teddy bear for Kayla.  She loves it.  She named it Purple Bear.  She calls it her baby bear.  I'm so glad she loves it.  Purple is her favorite color.  Here are a few photos of her with her new bear.

Embroidery Machine

I got a new Embroidery and Sewing machine combo.  It's a Brother SE400.
I have been playing with scrap material.  Here is a butterfly I made but probably won't keep.  I didn't have any stabilizer but was excited to do something with it I couldn't wait.  I made it into a sticker and put it on my door.
