Crazy Love



I am finally starting Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  Sean got it for me for Christmas almost two years ago.  Lame, I know.  I have been wanting to read it forever.  I started reading it and made excuses that I had to read my textbook and finish my homework for class.  Blah, Blah, Blah.  I was not in the serious mindset to read it and was too lazy to commit my whole life to the Lord.  But now, I am pumped up and ready to take the challenge.  I want to experience all of God's crazy love for me and to give it back to Him.  If you want to take the challenge with me, DO IT!  I would love to talk and read with you.  Sean already read it in a men's bible study and loved it.  So I cannot wait to finish it!  Francis Chan does a great job of connecting with interactive videos on his website that I listed above so you can listen and watch him explain each chapter (under 9 min each).  

Take the Crazy Love Challenge and fully commit to the Lord!  


Thanks for listening,

Hayley

Family Reunion Part 2

My family is from the city, but who knew we could shoot!  We went on a hay bail ride and shot targets!  We had a very fun hick reunion.  Thanks fam!


 Cutest little boy ever




View of the property on top of the hill


Targets we are going to shoot




Way to go Dad!








Ya target!


Love my parents!



After shooting we designed plates using things we found or picked from the property.  They were to represent our family on a totem pole.  I was not there to see the finished pole, but here are my 
families faces:

Me


Dad


And Mom


Thought this was too cute.  They used a stump with fabric to cover it up to put the hand soap on by the Porto potties.

Thanks for following!!

Family Reunion Part 1

I had a blast at my family reunion in Oroville, WA.  It was in the middle of no where, had to pray the last  45 minutes when I was by myself with no cell phone service because I thought I would never make it.  But I made it and it was awesome!!!  I thought I would break up my pictures into different categories because I took so many!  Just a warning, there are a lot of pictures!


Family Reunion, the scenery:


The main barn




One of the beautiful horses






Cute lil wild kitty




Sam, my great cousin had a beautiful garden.  It could have easily been in a magazine.







Loved this wood pile


















Sam had such cute homemade decor





I want to do this with a pair of boots



This tent makes me laugh!  Its the tent my parents and I stayed in at the reunion.  This is also the tent that my parents had before they had Ash and I.  So its over 26 years old lol.


Thanks for looking through all of my pictures!!!
