Childhood Goodies

I went to a Junior High football game last night between Cascade Middle School and LaPine. This was great fun! :) The big boy playing football is Colton and the little fella is Chandler. They are my Charis' half brothers.

Colton is 12 and is taller than I am! :) As I was leaving the game a woman stopped to ask me who he was and commented about what a great player he is and that she's sure she'll be seeing him around! Maybe he'll be a superstar football player some day! Woo Hoo! :)

SunRiver, Oregon

My first week in Bend, I stayed at the Sunriver Resort. It is very beautiful there. Lots of little critters to take pictures of. :)





Yes...I was this close to these guys...and No, they are not caged. Friendly fellas 'round these parts!





I just love this little pine cone! :)

Drake Park

Drake Park is located in downtown Bend and is a GREAT place to take pictures. It has been so beautiful the last couple of days, I had to get out and get me some of it! There were photographers all over the park taking advantage of the day.









And of course, I had to take some pics of my little punkin'... :) She'll be 9 months old tomorrow.

Scone Age Bakery

My dear friend Heather Noel owns a wholesale bakery called Scone Age Bakery (Specializing in coffee shop pastries and continental breakfast service) in Portland, OR. I have had the privilege of tasting some of her YUMS, and they are quite delicious, if I do say so myself!



She won't mind my telling you...she has a little boy bun in her oven! :)



Mmmmm. Graham cracker crust leftovers...wanna lick the bowl?



Do you know how big my butt would get if I owned my own bakery? :P



Ginormous mixer...cuz she doesn't make just a couple dozen cookies at a time. (I really shouldn't be posting this while I'm hungry...)



Do give Heather a call if you have any catering or bakery needs of your own. She'd love to hear from you! She may be reached at 503-412-8558 or ekmekvarmi@earthlink.net. Be sure to let her know I sent ya! :)

Charity & Danielle

Charity Brophy and Danielle Esquerra are the voices of angels. They sang praises to Jesus last night at the Bridgeport Plaza Starbucks. It was a perfect evening for lounging outside.

Bowls of Grace

Bowls of Grace is a ministry for feeding the homeless in the Portland Metro area. It was such a pleasure meeting these people. I am truly blessed to have been a part of the day. Amazing individuals full of life, who have been dealt a difficult hand. We were able to feed 200+ of our cities homeless on this day (July 21st).

Adam & Sam Wedding

Adam and Sam were married August 11th at Trojan Park near Rainier, WA. I used to babysit this fella when he was 3 years old! He's now 24...and I'm feeling really old! :) It was a beautiful and perfect day for a wedding and the park was the perfect backdrop for such a special day.
