Happy Birthday!

Ellen is fourteen today!!!
Flashbacks:
Cheese!!
Where are all your teeth??
It's windy......
and the sun's too bright!
CHEESE!!
That is such a fake smile...
Maybe this is when the fascination for ORANGE started...:-)  (or a little before!)
She loves ice cream. 
The Ellen Pose!!!

Ellen must be good at posing for pictures for there are certainly a lot of her!
Happy Birthday, Ellen!

(Note: Some of these captions were written by Ellen.  She enjoyed looking at old photos of herself. :-) )

Fall







  Fall is my favorite season.  I love the beautiful 70ยบ weather (like we've been blessed with this year), the colorful trees, and our fall activities (even though they can get rather overwhelming at times).  I have many wonderful memories of past falls and of times I've been able to just enjoy the many blessings God has given me and rely wholly on Him.  I also enjoy it because there are many photo opportunities!

Alas, our pumpkins came to a sorry fate!


Those squirrels!!!
This was all that was left of the little baby one. :(

Picture Verses





These are two pictures that I took this summer and figured out how to add verses to.  
The last verse is one is one that really encouraged me this summer as I did different things that I was worried or nervous about.  God can give us His power, love, and sound mind or self-discipline (some versions have self-discipline).
