Spookn' Around

So a typical 'girl'...I had Miss Paisley all oranged out yesterday, she was lookn' oh so CUTE. Thought to myself, I'll dress both girls in their spooky orange fashion, BUT NO....Lil' Mecate would have none of it. So instead of putting up a fight we went on with our day....Sooo this morning she comes out in HER orange spooky fashion....GRRRRRR....!!!!!  Today she will wears HERS...(((((GIRLS)))))

Miss Paisley

How oh' how can this be....
She greets us with the sweetest smile each morning and lil' snuggle ever so gently on my shoulder.
She has such a sweet personality...eyes that sparkle...a laugh that makes me want to cry.
I am so blessed to have this beautiful lil' girl in my life. Each and every day she teaches me how to LOVE the simplest things. I love her slobbery kisses and how when someone talks to her, she buries her head into my chest...trying to be soooo 'shy' BUT we all know she isn't! Time stands still when we rock, when she sings her lil' songs, when she just simply holds so tightly onto my finger. 

WOW...how can this be...6mths already...it always seems to be so 'bittersweet' when your a mama!

The 'LOOP'

I love getting to go out and capture the 'Life' of a cowboy. There are endless opportunities when shadowing these guys. Everyday they get to go out and ride in God's country. Taking in His works daily, smelling the sweet pines, and feeling the brisk air upon their faces.  I can't say that they'd ever call this 'WORK'!!  Sure some days may be long and trying but always worth the ride. What an experience...this afternoon, they were loadn' up some lone cattle and a yrlg. bull. All in which is done on the end of a rope...it's all about the 'LOOP'

Simply 'Breathtaking'

I am constantly reminded of our Lords' perfection daily. Each time I slow down and take the time to take in the lil' things in life, I am amazed. His works are so majestic, perfect, and yet, so humbling.  I looked out our front window the other night and saw this...

I can only look at this in complete awh and know that He is simply reminding us all to 'Look' to and 'Trust' in Him.  To slow down and remember the lil' things; like watching your child smile gently in her sleep, as if they are talking with the angels. These are some of the most important moments in your life. So I encourage you to make the time....

My Princess #1

My lil' princess is turning {3} soon and way too fast for mama!!  She has filled our lives with so much joy, uniqueness, and YES, drAMA!!  But I hear most 'girls' do...  I LOVE the fact that she can have polished nails, curls, and still know how to tromp thru the mud!!  She def. holds her own with the boys and will one day soon teach Paisley all her mischievous acts as well.  I treasure the time we have had together, watching her grow, obtain her own personality, and following every move I make. I am truly blessed for having her and know that Paisley will one day treasure her BIG sis.

She simply takes my breath away....

A Love that no words can describe...

LIL' COWBOY now ANGEL

Lil ' Cowboy Rowdy went to be with the Lord on Sunday Oct. 3rd, 2010.  He fought hard and was rewarded with a complete healing. He now is where there is no pain and suffering. He is living it up with Jesus, could you just imagine just what all he is doing in Heaven?!! 
Please remember to pray for this precious family. Our hearts are heavy for the Smallwood family and pray that the Lord is able to bring them a peace and a strength only He can.
Lil' Rowdy fulfilled his purpose, blessed people around the world, gave his mommy and daddy 9 priceless years and is now waiting in Heaven to see them again. He will always ride with them, walk with them, and will be in their every moment for the rest of their lives.
God Bless you Lil' Cowboy....

'Cowboy Rowdy'

In Need of A Miracle... 

  I ran a little contest the other day for people to help me pick a photo to be enlarged, framed, and matted to donate for auction for this lil' cowboy. 

  He was accidentally struck by a 900 lb hay bale. He is suffering from brain trauma, multiple fractures, broken legs, and so much more.  Many people around the world has came together for this special lil' guy.

  If you're in or around Laramie, WY on Oct. 10th stop in or bring your horse to the 'Ride for Rowdy Rodeo'!!!! There will be many classes for ages 4 and up, Butcher Block will provide lunch, and their will be two auctions. 

  PRAYER is a powerful thing and the most important of which we can do for this family. I believe my GOD can heal today the same He did, when He made the lame to walk and the blind to see!!!!!! 

  Both my boys ages 7 and 4 will be 'RIDING' for Rowdy and my girls will be right there cheering them on!

  Wear a green ribbon for Rowdy and expect a miracle from the ONE that CAN!
