Make 'Em Laugh!

If you are wanting a few laughs, make sure you are comfortably seated and watch these videos!  They have become our favorites in a short time!

The first is a comedian, Mark Lowry.  Just hilarious!  Some comedians tend to mock others to be funny and I don't appreciate that.  Mark Lowry doesn't mock (that I've seen), but rather puts things as they are- using himself as an example.  He absolutely loves his momma, which always puts stars for me when they love their family.  :)  He never married and just enjoyed being a gift of laughter to others and using his gifts for God.

Ever heard the song "Mary Did You Know"?  Well, here is the author.  :)

This is my favorite video of his- because it is too true!   It is clean, so grab your siblings to watch.  You know they will hear it and come running right at the middle anyway, so just start out with them!!!! Oh- and your mom because she will appreciate it the most!  Introducing Mark Lowry in "Mommas Had Enough!"




My second video is one we just found today.  We have already watched several of their videos and love them!  Too cute!  Again, these are very clean and your whole family will enjoy them.  :)


Well, let me know what you think!  My family has really enjoyed them and has to almost say "only 3" or else we are online all day long watching them!

Welcome Home!

Unless you have already read my sister's blog post, you don't know that we have a new little addition to our family- one that doesn't talk and won't ever talk though.  :)

He didn't like me at first, he cowered behind the one he did know.  But soon he was off playing, checking things out, listening to noises and seeing what they were.  Within minutes he was chewing on my hair, and licking my face, hands, arms- chewing involved as well.

He is pretty small, but for a 3 month old he is doing well.  A bundle of energy aptly describes him as he is "off on an adventure" every 4 minutes!!  He hasn't learned yet what "housebroken" is, and constantly keeps us on our toes.  He is sleeping (mostly) through the night which is greatly appreciated by Sarah and I as he shares our bedroom.

Bandit, is not too sure of him yet.  Bandit keeps hoping that if he just ignores "it", "it" will go away.  Bandit is warming up though, and we hope to see them the best of buddies soon!

Well, I'm sure you've guessed it by now- we have a new puppy!!  He it shall remain, though, as we haven't named it yet.  Names sometimes take a while.  And it is hard as he is a cute, adorable, fluffy, funny, spunky, little puppy right now but will hopefully grow into a dashing German Shepherd mutt someday!!

We aren't sure what all he has in him, but it is definitely German Shepherd- we are thinking maybe some husky as his tail curls real cutely.

He fell asleep in Caleb's arms so I quickly pulled out my camera and flash and snapped some shots.  So you don't get his whole body or the whole swagger thing he has going.  Or the tail.  You will just have to wait for another shooting time!!!  :D






Isn't he the cutest?  I really wish I could show better his personality (personal photo challenge I guess) but he has the "I own the world" walk, run, and play!  We will see how long that lasts with another, older, more mature, male in the house.  :D  But he is pretty cute!!  We are in love and just have to come up with an "official" name for him!
