Spring 2018


Here are some photos from this spring!  Just random!  This is a cute little breakfast bagel place we have in Reno.  It was an old firehouse that they renovated.  


Once a month, ladies of our church get together for food and fellowship.  This was one of them and the bagels were so good!  It's called The Daily Bagel - hence the newspaper inserts in the basket.  So cute!


The teen girls doing SVkids on Sunday morning.


Baptismal service.



Playing ball with the girls one evening.


Beautiful skies.



We had a very wet and cold late spring.  Brr!!!  Good for our water supply but not for getting my garden out or sitting at softball games.  LOL!




We pretty much were wrapped up in blankets all softball season!!  My husband would show up to the games with a short sleeved shirt and 30 minutes into it (or less!), he would be using my blanket! 



In the spring, Addie played for 14U, Autumn for 12U and Sierra for 10U.  Three divisions, three different teams.  Three sets of practice and game schedules!  It was a CRAZY season for our family!  Every night, we were on the fields - six days/nights a week.  Sometimes, my husband would be a one field and I would be at a different one.  Many nights, one girl played at 6pm - had to be there at 5pm for warm-ups...the next girl would play at 7:45pm (if the game actually started on time!).  We wouldn't get home until 10pm or so every night.  From middle of March to middle June.  But I loved it and wouldn't trade it!!


You loaded up the blankets, winter coats and gear (it may be spring but it drops very quickly once the sun goes down in Nevada!) and camping chairs...and they just stayed in your van the whole season.  You learn to eat dinner at 4pm every night or take it on the run (for working parents).  It is a whole lot of fun!  You spend your nights sitting and cheering as a family...talking and hanging out.



This was a spring wedding we did at the lake.  It was chilly but the venue was pretty!  I loved the fires outside. 




Then suddenly it was Memorial Day!  I usually get more pictures but sometimes I'm too busy organizing and managing things so...here are the few I got!  We do a dessert competition and I tried my hand at a carrot cake.  First time!  


Usually at our picnics, we do the frisbee game.  Does it have a name?  Probably!


Enjoying some cold popsicles!


So those are some photos from Spring 2018 - mainly softball that was our life!  Ha!!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
