cute and chubby. giveaway winner, too.

congratulations to this lucky gal: 





she will be the proud new owner of whatever clutch her heart so desires from 
thank you to everyone who entered!  

--------------------------------------------------------

okay, on to the cute and chubby.
and i'm not talking about myself.  

look at this handful of handsome {with the emphasis on handful these days}...


his walk resembles a monkey on a tight rope.


silly smile.


every little guy should have a camo hat {$5.99 at target}.


pure cuteness.


daddy said this is a weed and not a flower.  little boys don't play with flowers.  only weeds.

"behold, children are a heritage from the Lord..." psalm 127:3a

prayer request: my sister-in-law (with my 4 yr. old niece) is traveling to haiti tomorrow to meet this beauty:

 

isn't she too adorable!?! this is keemberlie, and they are in the process of adopting her.  click for more details.

p.s. - don't forget about miscellany monday... here's the button in case you want to plan ahead.  : )

Congrats to the winner:)

And your little man is SO cute and chubby. I can almost smell his goodness right through my computer screen:)

How exciting for your family. You can tell she is full of joy. I have some friends who've adopted abroad. What an amazing experience!

Congrats to the winner :0)
Hunter is total cuteness! Love it!
Greg and your hubby would get along just fine....Greg calls dandelions weeds too, Kelcee and I of course call them foofy heads when they go to seed and we blow them all over the yard, thanks to us according to Greg we have a gazillion "weeds" I like to think foofy heads in our back yard hahahahha :0)

Will be saying a prayer for your sister and a safe trip! How exciting bringing home that sweet gorgeous little princess....her smile just lights up huh....how pretty....

your son is ADORABLE carissa!! i can't wait to see photos of little sage!!

Natalie said...

I wasn't sure if you read comments from older posts so I am posting on this one even though it doesn't have to do with this : ) My hubby just told me about this website called supercook (www.supercook.com) and i totally thought of you! You go on there and type in ingredients you have and it comes up with recipes using those ingredients! Super simple and that way you don't have to buy extra ingredients--just use the ones you are planning on getting or have stored away in your house : )

Beki - TheRustedChain said...

That little girl is gorgeous.

And your little guy is a doll baby.

And I think there's a mistake... that winner was supposed to say "Beki." Ha!
