Come enjoy a little video featuring the dolls we create at "Creating from the Heart".
Our trip to Indiana was another great experience. Just visiting and hanging out with our family is the best. We did take a few excursions. One excursion let us to an old-fashioned covered bridge in the tiny town of Ceylon, Indiana.
Heather and Will have been busy launching Heather's new photography business - "Heather Warren Photography".
Heather had a special photoshoot of Hannah and Dash. We got up very early and went to the park. Heather captured these amazing images. I'll be posting more later. I can't wait to get prints and frame them.
Fifth graders had to create a Native American research project. They all got to choose from a list of tribes. Hannah spotten the Nez Perce and grabbed it quickly. She knew so much about this tribe as she had read all the Amercian Girl's books about Kaya. For the display, she used her doll, Kaya. She used Kaya's dog and the travois that is attached to the dog.
My Dad has been busy scanning in all our old slides to convert them to digital. Today arrived a package with disc after disc of scanned photos. I randomly choose a disc and found these photos. How emotional to see these photos of my parents with me when I was a baby. Dad you did an amazing job scanning all these in.
Alexandria turned three and I feel honored to have created a Clothespin Doll Cake Topper that was placed on her cake. I've been so busy with school, home and everything that I haven't been able to devote any time to our little doll creations. I miss them so much and can't wait to start creating again. What cute kids!
Friends and puppies. What could be better than that! Hannah invited Shannon and Abby to go see the Dog Agility Trials at the Dog Training Club. After lunch we found these adorable puppies for sale. What a cute moment. Mrs. Klindera loved seeing the girls at her club. I snapped this photo and she said this photo will be valuable when they graduate. So we plan to keep this photo safe and bring it out at graduation. Fun times together!
Hannah had a special time this summer spending the whole weekend with her sister and new brother-in-law at their home in Edmond. They had a great time at the Edmond water park and doing many fun things.
Hannah just joined a 4-H Club that is all about dogs - Paw Starz. At the first club meeting we found out about the Tulsa Country Free Fair and the 4-H Dog Show. Hannah entered along with Dash and came home with 6 ribbons.
Hannah and Dash are attending the Tulsa Dog Training Club to learn and bond together. It was hard at first, but Hannah is becoming a great dog handler. But she has the best dog in the world - Dash.

Mr. Masters and his dog Holly came to school today for their weekly visit with the second grade readers. Holly brought a little surprise to give to our new dog Dash. It is an adorable little teddy bear. And boy did Dash LOVE it when we gave it to him. He wouldn't let go of it and has carried it everywhere. He needed it tonight when we took him to his crate to go to bed.
Hannah and dash played catch outside with his new teddy bear. Dash wouldn't take his eyes off his new teddy bear.
Dash says "thank you" to Holly and Mr. Masters for the great present.
The most important part of Our World is us, our family. I am starting this journal (blog) to share all the wonders we have explored. I am also doing this for me. To have an on-line diary/photo album to visit and revisit. For this will be a constant reminder of all the neat things we have done and the special people in our lives. For every moment has a story.
I am the mother of three wonderful children. Two are grown and very successful. My youngest is the main focus in my life right now and we enjoy doing so many wonderful things together.
