grace in his eyes

10 07 2009

I am overwhelmed with blessings.  I am overwhelmed with a God who loves me more than I can understand.  I am overwhelmed by the beauty He gives and shows us. 

We serve a God SO big and so mighty.  He shows us such grace and compassion.  He is the ultimate picture of love.  My hubby has been blogging about a song called “How He Loves”, and I too cannot get this song out of my head and can’t stop praising a God that is the giver of all things beautiful and perfect!

He knows us. He loves us.  He makes us perfectly in His image.

Psalm 139: 13-18

13 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb.

14 I thank you, High God — You’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration — what a creation!

15 You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something.

16 Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my like all prepared before I’d even lived one day.

17 Your thoughts — how rare, how beautiful! God, I’ll never comprehend them!

18 I couldn’t even begin to count them – any more than I could count the sand of the sea.  Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with you!

Lord, thank you for your GRACE.

halfway to 50!

Yup…that’s right.  Today I turn the big 2-5.  I love birthdays.  It’s fun to get to celebrate your entrance into the world.  The years really do fly by! I thought we would take a look back on where it all began 25 years ago today.

Glad my looks have changed a bit in the past 25 years and SO glad I finally got hair…

baby kk

I do know how to celebrate a birthday though…. 1st Birthday:

Hooray for being the fastest swimmer! :)

4th of July!

6 07 2009

Next to Christmas & my birthday…which is in 2 days… The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! I love summer, relaxing and watching fireworks!! We had a great time hanging out with the Norman’s and their kiddos on Friday.  We cooked them up some James famous burgers! I think they were fans. :)

Since we live in downtown Huntington Beach, main street was closed off all morning on Saturday for the parade.  Well…we slept through the parade but got up in time to enjoy a little time at the beach.  About 8:30 we headed down to the beach again (which is only 3 blocks from our house) and it was NUTS! The line for Starbucks was halfway down the street so we decided that wasn’t exactly a good plan.  Off to the beach.  We spread out our towels, listened to the waves crash next to us while waiting for the show to start.  WOW some of the best fireworks EVER. 

We ended the weekend with one of the greatest movies ever. 

It was a great weekend with the hubby.  For sure one we will never forget!

How was YOUR 4th of July?

Well he did it.  He completed the Wipeout Course.  No longer can he sit on the couch and watch other people and yell at them for it being “too easy”.  Click here to read Brook’s whole story about the experience and just how difficult it really is!!

If you didn’t get to check out the episode last night, go watch it online.

Thank you to the awesome people at Wipeout for sending me these pictures.  Our kids will be so proud someday.
