Mr & Mrs Shower

I was able to throw a small "shower" for this lovely couple. So blessed with the support of many people!
 The welcoming table
 A view of half the lawn - so many came out to show their love and support for Aaron and Hannah - so blessed we all are!
A photo booth I quickly threw together - was a big hit!
 A little side note here: this is a masterpiece for me - something I've been wanted to do for quite awhile, but anytime I have tried - had not given myself enough TIME! This right here folks (for those of you who don't know) is Croquembouche -  it's a french pastry which is made of cream puffs dipped in candied syrup and after it hardens it "cracks in your mouth" but the cream still is as delicious as ever! My great-uncle who has studied under different pastry chefs in France was there...so I was super nervous, but very excited when it turned out thus! Please excuse my enthusiasm!
A fun and random game - the guys made bouquets and then were judged - this is them posing for a picture! They all should be super proud of their work - it was so much fun watching them put these together!
And well couldn't help but share this beautiful bloom! I was so excited when I went out to the garden that morning and found that the peonies were in perfect bloom! Made for darling little center pieces on the tables!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

Lewiston, NY

Had been way to long since I had visited my friends in Lewiston and with a few days off I had to take the time!  They are all growing up so fast, in a way I feel as though I've missed a big chunk of their lives, however I can't be everywhere I'd like all the time - learning to enjoy the moments we do get!  The handsome little man  We ventured on a get-away to Toronto for a few days- stayed in a lovely hotel and had lots of fun together!  Then visited the Peoples Church on Sunday - was really neat to see Charles Price face-to-face and hear him speak. Not quite what I was expecting in the church building, but neat experience!  Walking along the lakeshore with some beauts!  Montana's serves the best stake for a nice price! Love these girls and love who they are becoming! It's always a treat to spend some time alone with them! Love you all!  And yes!! Finally got to meet the two newest additions to the Heikoop Fami...

Blazing a Trail

There's approximately 3 acres of pine on our property and till this time that's all it's been, bush! Till this summer. In preparation for a Canada Day party I was hosting I wanted to create a trail for people to be able to stroll through.  Many hands make light work - my younger brothers were such willing helpers! Jo-Jo and Mikes loved using the ax and helped clear a lot of the brush  James helped a lot with the clearing as well, strange I didn't get any pictures though! Only this one! *smile* The finished product! Even if not a lot of people end up using it - I love it! The end - it's a beautiful trail now - if any of you would like to check it out... feel free, that's what it's here for!
