I am loving that red day #3

I thought I would post some pictures that have some red in them with the 3 favorite men in my life. The first one is of Colton (and my father too). We were visiting my parents at their home in Florida when this pic was shot. Of course it was not a digital camera so I had to scan it, so it is not very clear. My father was taking Colton all around their home showing him different things. It is old too, taken in 1994.


The pic below is some red I love to see coming home every day, at least what is inside that beautiful red car ;) He even posed for me; after I explained that it was for this fun red photo game I had joined through my blogging adventures! He didn't mind a bit because he had just washed his 'baby', he loves that car!

This last one is a picture of my father and I taken during a holiday party. About ten families would get together the afternoon of Christmas eve and we would sing carols and spend time together. This was taken somewhere around 1980......oh my, am I feeling old now!

This game has been fun to play, even my son has helped me find some red things to post. I will save that for tomorrow's post. We did realize one thing with trying to take photos, wow.....the quality of some photos; as mine stale in comparison to some blogs. I envy the talent some have with photography. There is one site I have stumbled across while searching for cooking and baking, it is thepioneerwoman.com (check it out...you'll be glad you did!). The photos she takes are amazing and she even gives out tips under her photography section. I just need to break down and buy a digital SLR camera and lens. I have been using my husband's Sony 8.0 mega pixel point and shoot, but it is not even close to the amazing talent I have seen on some blogs. Well, then I could take that photography class my son and I have wanted to take for a couple of years now. Anyway, until next time........

I saw Red...how about you?


Today, while surfing the Internet for fun, I came across Sara's site of Sadie Olive. She thought of a fun game to play with the color red. I thought I would play along. To join simply click here. You can post photos you have with the color red in them. This lasts until June 8th. I quickly found a few pics of my family....

My husband, being the lovable goofball that he is, was pleasing my son by taking a picture with these big red lips. Who wouldn't want to kiss that gorgeous face?

My son, who is the pride of my life, giving some love to one of our cats! This pic is just priceless to me!

This pic is the first day we got Jade and this is her new red bowl! I think she liked it!


How about you, are you inspired too? Come join in on the fun!

My daily inspirations..............


I love this verse, it has always been a favorite of mine. It hangs in my dining room for all to see. I have never seen a better example to this verse from Corinthians, than in my fathers love for my mother. Every day I am amazed by the devotion he has to my mother and her happiness. His love has persevered through so much and is as strong as the day he pledged his love to her. I am glad I have that example to follow. God did bless me with wonderful parents!!




This next verse hangs in my entry way and I look at it as I enter or leave my home. I get inspired to follow the way I should each and every day!

Our little gem Jade.....




Just a few shots captured by my husband of our 'little kids'! Jade thinks she is hiding from us! We have such fun watching the antics of these two cats. They are full of such curiosity, bringing such joy to our simple little lives. He tried to capture Mason, but he was taking one of his many little naps.....oh, such a tired little guy. Seems like he is a fireball of energy in the middle of the night, as he jumps on the bed to wake us at at all hours! It makes up for it every time we come home, he runs to greet us and seems to meow "hi, I missed you!", at least that our interpretation...... ;)
