Bloom where you are planted.

I might not getting any views on this post from the title.  But it had to be my title, ok?  Something you may not know - I find life lessons all the time.  Usually while driving somewhere.  I rarely get to take pictures of them.  Finally, I get to document one.

Mushy life changing lesson:

Heavenly Father will always be transplaning me.  Sometimes in small pots, in gardens and in forests.  Usually you don't relize when you are in a perfectly watered and fertizlized pot.  Each time change occurs I just get bigger and stronger.  If I refuse to grow where I'm planted - I will starting wilting and will eventually die.  We were at a gas station today and I saw that flower pot.  I took a picture really fast to remember it cause it was kind of an answer to prayers and the timing couldn't have been better.  Sometime you might even feel like God planted you in the dark, under 200 lbs, on asfault and with no hope of blooming.  But check out that white flower under the pot.  You can bloom where ever you are planted.  The first step is accepting and not giving up (this is where most people fail) - the second step is to learn and grow - third step is to love the pampered flowers above and don't think less of them!  In the end I was humbled to think of myself ever looking down from a nice pot at a flower below and not giving them the credit they deserve.

 Moving on.  We finally got the try the ultimate - Sarris icecream!  I think it was so good and totally as good as everyone has mentioned.  My other half thought is was OK.  Brynlee was in heaven with the icecream (of course) and most importantly the GIANT candy shop tagged onto the ice cream parlor!

 

 I honestly can't believe we are saying goodbye to these games.  We have spent hours listening to parents full out scream histerically for their 6 yr old sons playing baseball.  We get to hear it all spring and it's so sad to think this might be our last season.  They are so fun and the 3$ hamburgers aren't bad either!  They are a big deal and there are usually 50-100 cars lining both streets full of families and kids.  I will miss it!

 This is how you know if you made a good birthday cake for your son - if all the boys can't keep 5 feet from the cake the whole party!  This was one awesome super hero cake done by a Michael's Wilton Cake Class graduate!  I have a lot to live up to!  Bad picture sorry!

 I'm sure Brynlee is not saying "cheese" like usual.  She is trying to yell for more ice cream.

 We went on a fun camping trip to Shenango.  It's a little bit of a drive but it's always worth it in the end for us!  Here was a covered bridge we found on our hike built in 1880.

 This camping trip was extra special becuase we got to follow a boat up.  The only thing that makes camping more fun is water and espcially if there is a boat involved!
