What a Fun Day...a princess party!!!!

Princess Madeline and her "court"
"Hey I can use this bag for the beach"
Maddie and Mamo.....I love you Maddie
Lot's of pretty beads to pick from....
Both Maddie and Marla found lots of pretty gems
Not sure what but Maddie was trying to convince Marla of something
The "Princess" and her helpers
Maddie looked too cute wearing her Princess crown


Today Marla and I took Maddie to a Princess Party! Yes, you read that right.... a party for little girls with all of the frills. This party was hosted in Louisville at A Mothers Touch botique.


Lot's of darling little girls just in awe of the two very pretty girls who represent Kentucky for the Jr. Miss and Miss Kentucky pagents. Very pretty and talented girls to say the least. They were so sweet with all of the little ones.


Maddie got to make her own bracelet picking out the beads and all. Her's was so pretty. Each little princess was given a silver "wish" bead. Maddie, Marla and I all three made wishes. I think the bead Maddie liked best was the green bead that she kept calling a pickle! (Does look like one:))


Anyway the cake was good and the store for us to shop in was even better. Check it out sometime it is such a neat place. I'm sure we'll be back. Thanks Marla for including me. I loved it and spending the great time with Maddie.

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
