Life Lately

It seems that y'all really enjoy my life lately posts, so I decided it is time to do one of them again!

Dad and the little girls cheesin' in the middle of a checkers game! 

 I finally shot a deer! It was so exciting, even though it was just a little doe! I was pretty happy 😊

We hosted Uncle Donny + Aunt Michelle's 25th wedding anniversary party in our barn...it was a smashing success!! 

 the decorations were really pretty! Jalisa + Tori did a great job!

a lunch date with Mom and some of the girls! 💗

"It is because of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness." - Lamentations 3:22-23

thankful.

• Fall is the time of year where we look back and realize all we are thankful for. Some days it it hard to find something to be thankful for, and other days we are thankful for so much! Every day we should thank Jesus for all He's done for us...whether we feel like it or not; He truly deserves our praise. 
• "O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34

p.s. check out the "about me" and "blogs I follow pages"...I updated them ↑↓

Throwback Thursday

I was looking back at some Florida pictures today, and I got the idea that this would be perfect for a "throwback thursday" post 😊 so come along, as these pictures take you back to...March 2017!! 

Florida was such a beautiful and relaxing place...our family loved it!! It was a much-needed vacation, and it was wonderful.

We were privileged to have Grandpa + Grandma Sauder down there some of the time...grandparents are the best!!

Florida beaches are so pretty...ahh! 

and the siblinghood - although life with 5 siblings isn't always smooth, they are the best and I am so thankful for each and every one of them 💕

Here are a few random pictures that are on my phone gallery...the quality isn't the greatest, but I hope you enjoy them, nonetheless!

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture."

Psalms 100:1-3
