~Little Adelynn's special weekend: 1st birthday celebration, & dedication to Jesus~

 ~Last weekend we had a delightful weekend celebrating adorable precious little Adelynn!!! Since she was to be dedicated on Sunday, July 20th, her parents decided to go ahead and celebrate her 1st birthday a few days early.  

It made for such a SWEET time celebrating her!  She brings so much JOY to our whole family...Jesus opened up the Heavens and truly BLESSED our family when He gave us little Adelynn & Stella!!~

Mary, Abigail, and I went up a little early to help Sarah.  We got to her house Friday afternoon, and started helping Sarah however we could. 

That evening, we got to Hobby Lobby, just 20 mins. before they closed.  But, God helped us to find the most adorable 

PINKS & BOWS 

Decorations, 50% off!

Her little first party turned out so cute! I will post LOTS of pics to enjoy!

And on Sunday, her baby dedication was so special!  Giving her back to Jesus, who had given her to us. 

It was so special being all together.  She looked so sweet and adorable in her little dress and bonnet.  And her little service was so sweet. Kelly Stamper cooked such a yummy Sunday dinner for all of us.  (I was helping clean the church, wash up dishes, and babysit sweet little Adelynn.)

I may not write much about these pics, because they are self explanatory.  They are all adorable! 

~Sweet Nannie provided yummy banana splits.~

~All Squeaky clean.~

~Adelynn's First Birthday party.~

~Josh's sister Kara did a great job writing out this verse, that Jesus gave to Sarah when she miscarried their first little baby.

She felt like God was telling her that he would hear her cry and send them a little one!

~Klarissa, Adelynn, and Kara.~

~Katie and one adorable sleepy little Adelynn.~

~The sweet little sign that Sarah wrote out and sent us a pic of the night she went into the hospital to have little Adelynn Elise. ~

~We were so glad that Chris, Kimberly, and baby Stella could come on Saturday for Adelynn's first birthday party.  They brought Chris' brothers, Caleb, Matthew, and Jeremiah with them.~

~Mary, Mommy, Sarah, and Kimberly.~

~Kimberly & Mary tied these cute little pink bows and hung them on Sarah's adorable gold mirror.~

~Grammy and Sweet baby Stella.~

~Sweet little Adelynn.  

We were so HAPPY to find her cute pink & white stripped dress and bloomers at Walmart.  

It's a Carter's.~

~Baby Stella Loves Her Daddy.~

~I got these fun pics from Josh.~

~Sarah and Kelly found such a cute yummy cake at Sam's.~

~Kara, Sarah, & Kimberly made this cute "O-N-E" sign.~

~It was so sweet to see how Adelynn would take her one little tiny finger, 

and get a tiny bit of icing and lick it.

~It was so fun to have the 3 Kline brothers with Chris, Kimberly, and baby Stella.~

~All of us,

except Elijah who is in FL with Levi fishing and swimming.~

~Adelynn's Baby Dedication!~

~Such a Special Service to dedicate Adelynn to Jesus.~

We were so grateful that everyone could come!!~

~Sarah sang the sweetest song about, 

"For this child I prayed, and I dedicate her back to you."

~Josh had a better angle and captured this beautiful pic of Sarah's singing.~

~Adelynn was reaching out to Abigail. ~

~So sweet and Adorable!!~

~Papa Stamper praying.~

(Sadly, I was so busy praying when Phillip prayed, that I forgot to take a pic of him.)~

~This was so cute...Adelynn reaching out to her Daddy...and her laughing.~

~I was so glad that Grandpa got to see Josh and Sarah's Beautiful church.~

~It was so fun to be together.

We were missing Elijah, who is in FL, and 

Chris, Kimberly, & Stella, who were at his Grandpa's funeral. :-( ~

~4 Generations.~

~I love this Sweet Pic.~

~We were so glad that Grandpa Dickinson and Michael and Beth and family got to come.

~Grammy E. gave me this fun silverware.~

~One night while we were gone, 

A Racoon (or several) got in and Killed all of our chickens. :-( 

~Sunday night, we hurried home from Adelynn's dedication,

and had service at Strait Creek.

I took my little "Snacklebox" with things for S'mores.

It works great to use marshmallow creme, when you are going to serve these 

somewhere where there is no fire.~

~Noah's answered prayer.~

~His nice white car, Jesus helped him to find.~

~Phillip cleaning out the pine needles out of the gutters at Strait Creek church.~

~Sadly, Chris' grandpa Kline passed away. 

So, Chris, Kimberly, and baby Stella couldn't be there at Adelynn's dedication, 

because they were at the funeral.

Here is Chris, Jonathan, and Kimberly singing and playing for the funeral.~

~Pics from Elijah and Levi's fishing trip.

Some are from Elijah and some are from Susanna.

~Elijah took this neat pic.~

~Elijah caught this HAMMERHEAD SHARK...

but it bit the line and got away.~

~They caught a Sheepshead fish.~

~Pics from around Our Home.~

~I love these little signs that say,

"Have you prayed about it?"

"Pray, Wait, and Trust"~

My NEW favorite Iced Latte...AT OUR HOME...

Is Fresh milk, ice, and a single shot espresso!!

Delish!

~Since, I travel often...

sometimes, My sink looks like this...

~And, then I get some time at home, and it looks like this again.~
