  • This week is jammed packed full and quite eventful! Come along as we laugh our way through my mom learning to ride an etrike, enjoy the beauty of the summer season as I buy and plant flowers, and being horrified as a 'cute cake smash' does not go as anticipated.

    Oh my goodness, I am a 78 year old great grandma who laughed out loud during this episode. First at your mother learning to ride the trike and then at the cake party. What fun! You are so brave. There is no way in this world that I would have gotten on that “ride”. Your family is precious. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I, for one, have enjoyed every episode.

    I am a 65 yr old grandma. This was so funny and so cute!! Your husband alexander looked like something probably some people in our family would do. Happy 1st Birthday Lexi!!!! There is something about that age they just don't like to be dirty and goopy . I have four children and I remember this age my first one was my picky one. And the bike riding oh my goodness that was too funny. Way to go to your mom and dad. I just have to say I thoroughly love your channel your heart, Your heart for the Lord, family everything. I just want to say bless you. ❤ You're always encouraging others well here❤ We are encouraging you and love to your family and to you and big hugs. We so appreciate you

    I haven’t quite been able to put my finger on it but I now know what I love about you. You are living proof that being a Christian can be fun and exciting. It doesn’t mean that you walk around quoting scripture all day, never daring to crack a smile or enjoy great food, great friends, and yes, being used as a human catapult. When I see you, I find myself saying, ‘I wish I had more of that in my life.” The only thing that may hold us back is ourselves. You, my friend, are uplifting on so many levels. Thanks for sharing your life with us. ~ Linda

      Thank you so much Linda! That means more to me than you know as this has often been something on my heart. I've seen the somber, take life so seriously all the time Christians that can never laugh at themselves or life in general and I've often felt that's not what God is asking of us. Could give reasons as to why but this is too long already. Thank you for taking the time to share and comment!

  • @valeriereneeharper
    @valeriereneeharper Рік тому +4

    Over twenty minutes of smiling and laughing really makes one’s face hurt lol
    And yes, at least once a year spend time with the women in your life without the children, it really does deepen your relationships and your walk with Christ ❤️ Beautiful!

Not a waste of food at all, 50% of the family had great fun with the cake - it does your heart good to see Nolan and Xander messing around. Xander is a great help and growing up so fast. Teaching your Mom to ride a trike was just so much fun and she looked like she had a ball.

    This is one of my very favorites! It was precious from start to finish. It definitely made me miss PA in the spring and planting my flowers from Halligan's Greenhouse! Happy birthday to Lexie!!!❤
