Sisters in Heart

Alyssa and Clara will always be my two closest girlfriends! We decided that a long time ago. :) Growing up here on the farm, experiencing childhood and now young adulthood, we are more like sisters than cousins.
They are the ones who have been there for me through the years, the ones who have heard my secret hopes and dreams, the ones who keep me up late into the night, laughing until we cry.
They are my sisters in heart, and I love them very much!
Thanks, girls. You're the best.
Always,
ashley lou

Blessings from the Lord

"Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they content with their enemies in the gate."
~Psalm 127:3-5~

Baby Cats

That's my foot. :) We were play-wrestling. I was supposed to be getting schoolwork done...
that didn't really happen.


They like to be all snuggled together!

We are giving some away if anyone is interested! They're all very sweet and adorable. :)

david mark

I love this guy so much!
He never ceases to amaze me.
I probably have more memories with David than with any of my other baby siblings.
He will always be my special little man, no matter how tall he gets to be someday!

It's funny, though, because there's another David that I'm pretty crazy about too. Maybe I'll post about him sometime. ;)

from The Concert

It was great fun! The music was amazing, as expected, and the company of close friends and family reminded me again of what a blessed girl I am.
I think we do have some pictures of the guys in trees and doing yard work, but haven't been able to find them yet. :) I'll post them when I do, though. It was a great day and they got a lot done!


Megan and Jenny got to have their picture taken with Sonja!

Just so you know...

We still have Kitten.
But we're still not keeping her.
Just so you know.

Hebrews 12:22-24

"But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the Living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel."

We are completely HIS!! I don't know about you, but this passage sends a huge thrill to my heart ~ I belong to this God, and He loves me deeper than I can understand! Let us rejoice in who we are today!
Praise the Lord...
... for He is so very good!
Love to you all in Christ,
ashley louise

p.s. Props to Meg for the beautiful shot of our pasture!
