I have been busy, although you wouldn't know it here by the lack of activity on my part hah! But I have been busy doing stuff on my computer creating printable art, and templates for my "so called etsy shop". Anywhoo, I've made these free printables to share here. Print one out, put it in a frame, and you have an easy fast baby shower gift. These are 8 1/2 x 11 size, so you might need a document sized frame. I havent tried to put one in an 8x10 frame. So... Here you go!! Enjoy!!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZsbu-tnesr3yQ2RI4QREd9vp0aoiY55s8plEKh2w2bdwI0rIYANW1YEYvyXIe5yOIvJqAThjrKhUESIOU9oLNEaGda5h2TmpdaZxBrCpy-uLAomXFFejmZTzerunIgiQnuKll_0QmT4/s1600/child+of+god+girl.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650480156599699618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZsbu-tnesr3yQ2RI4QREd9vp0aoiY55s8plEKh2w2bdwI0rIYANW1YEYvyXIe5yOIvJqAThjrKhUESIOU9oLNEaGda5h2TmpdaZxBrCpy-uLAomXFFejmZTzerunIgiQnuKll_0QmT4/s400/child+of+god+girl.jpg" /></a><br />And the boy version!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPjiNz0V4gsuYhlP_dmosbDhpoh4HNW7u7FkDGsZegeozc_B4ZqCtTlltSsJHkC_LOXdgm9z07F0ocTzYSX2LtjQkVXqPFtdT5ctwknIi21RUhMqCmYZGHECw7Zz4iIFFNt7s2kYUoDBM/s1600/child+of+god+boy.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650480148880193970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPjiNz0V4gsuYhlP_dmosbDhpoh4HNW7u7FkDGsZegeozc_B4ZqCtTlltSsJHkC_LOXdgm9z07F0ocTzYSX2LtjQkVXqPFtdT5ctwknIi21RUhMqCmYZGHECw7Zz4iIFFNt7s2kYUoDBM/s400/child+of+god+boy.jpg" /></a><br />Just click on the image, once the new window opens up, right click, and save to your computer. :)Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-57243056810173993912011-08-16T15:53:00.000-07:002011-08-16T15:58:15.082-07:00My baby boy
<br />My baby boy. 3 months old today. He surprised with the news of his arrival, and blessed us when he finally did arrive.... Late.... Let's hope that's not a characteristic of his. Haha. Here is the announcement I came up with for my little guy. My matt... I love you.

Ha. Found out I was pregnant, had the baby, and now I'm getting around to another post!! Yeah... I've never really been a once a week poster, but you'd think I'd do better than once a year!! Yikes. Well, I'm finally feeling somewhat normal, and got a small chance to sew a little today. Not much time since the new baby let me know he wasn't happy with my free time. But I made this zippered pouch for my oldest sons teacher. I like the way it came out, and am happy with it!</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-81057890615318850262011-01-19T15:15:00.000-08:002011-01-19T15:37:15.028-08:00Free Printable Love Scripture Bag<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEYs-7kv8F16E-UAUINMgLjLfJtGA71bIDEc6LOTPFl2rwyMTWzZrWbUt7gNVM2h066nEX0ROEfloTnZn5_ubU00HhVKdnc_uRhUc0qx9jCzf57XBiocfXLrSA7VYDpMvx7Yo0X_P1y8Q/s1600/Free+Love.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564041356280390946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEYs-7kv8F16E-UAUINMgLjLfJtGA71bIDEc6LOTPFl2rwyMTWzZrWbUt7gNVM2h066nEX0ROEfloTnZn5_ubU00HhVKdnc_uRhUc0qx9jCzf57XBiocfXLrSA7VYDpMvx7Yo0X_P1y8Q/s400/Free+Love.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Hey there! Just stopping in to put up a freebie for my friends!! I use every opportunity I can to teach my children about the Lord, and when valentines comes up, I don't teach them anything about Saint Valentine. Instead, I use the LOVE atmosphere to teach them about the Love of God. I also use this time as an opportunity to spread the word out to their classmates! I usually make their cards or treats, the kids have fun with it. They're finally old enough to cut paper decently, and use the glue sticks without eating any!! Haha. So, for all you other moms on the same page, here's a "Love" goodie bag, equipped with a scripture and all!!</div><br /><div>Enjoy!!</div><div> </div><div>To save to your computer, just click on the image above.

My 8 year old wants one next, and he's gonna get it. I've already tried one for him,a nd it looks great. So anywhoo, here's the tute. i'm almost embarassed to call it a tutorial because it's SOOOO easy. If you don't like tutorials with pics, then don't try to follow this tute. I took a bunch of pics. It's always easier for me to follow by seeing, so yeah.... there's lotsa pics. I don't have a pattern for this, but maybe next week I'll scan my template, and post it here. I just traced a baseball cap bill for mine. Okay, here we go!...<br />1.) You will need some scrap fabric for the bill, and a strip of fabric at least 4 inches wide, and 16 inches long. Some scrap interfacing, and elastic. (oh yeah, and thread to match)<br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499847358713917602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHSOOKlQ8EMGd6Ruuf3I75tMoloMFna6RxcO6kSyqPk9KajFki-VHoQfMQuBpgyEpRjku3HfyCVgIUkIl_VqmZw6WHGeLsu2T1CCC8smi_OI4f2SWZBnM1oQpLT28NRWcs-l_PEuBLLYA/s400/Tutorial001.jpg" /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkpkfBAlrojjgkHUBaQAmN2m69TPmCaEJVerhOkrU2ce8BB1pHIAAXO_Mz6xzbj_8tVHrzlD6QSJLFdFuAphVot614B8yTw-AsUozR3MSI42rlx9fmsiemruu1n2c16aipQ1efqXmLHKU/s1600/Tutorial002.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499847363957876434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkpkfBAlrojjgkHUBaQAmN2m69TPmCaEJVerhOkrU2ce8BB1pHIAAXO_Mz6xzbj_8tVHrzlD6QSJLFdFuAphVot614B8yTw-AsUozR3MSI42rlx9fmsiemruu1n2c16aipQ1efqXmLHKU/s400/Tutorial002.jpg" /></a> Cut 2 pieces out of the bill fabric.

Please comment, and let me know if I should keep on trying this kind of stuff, or if I should never again try to share a tutorial! :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9duYHIK_T3ls_FAIcT0d5iLHnADTAqDjr22VwejrQHt4mNRG7OZwBjY2j4SyWoky-P1-khhoOGXOBcck_OsUKcYlqINKkZCs0ln7SUMRolBRa3Ol_i7QwyuNbOMJFHavwcXpJdCzVSwI/s1600/Tutorial028.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499849718690753762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9duYHIK_T3ls_FAIcT0d5iLHnADTAqDjr22VwejrQHt4mNRG7OZwBjY2j4SyWoky-P1-khhoOGXOBcck_OsUKcYlqINKkZCs0ln7SUMRolBRa3Ol_i7QwyuNbOMJFHavwcXpJdCzVSwI/s400/Tutorial028.jpg" /></a>Thanks again!! </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><center><a href="http://sewmuchado.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" src="http://i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy351/jdsmit21/SMAbuttonWDIWargylecopy-1.jpg" /></a></center><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://tearosehome.blogspot.com"><img border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462799092490427250" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 126px; height: 160px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ8njMqCTzKGMjTbn33SUaz_j72-RLmc9J1xZTSzGvhZqgrPId3KmjbSK__L_y5yQni7nZgxct33sY_RKY9b-n4Vt_A1486w34NUXvgJQvGmnCiL-qw78cAPv8p5Twlgi6b5zBLIDBgUo/s200/GrabButtonLinkParty.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a border="0" href="http://tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://hadfield.smugmug.com/photos/825895175_xmTVA-O.jpg" alt="Join us Saturdays at tatertotsandjello.com for the weekend wrap up party!" /></a><br />Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-52125930439304385392010-07-29T23:17:00.000-07:002010-07-29T23:35:13.537-07:00Baby Visor Tutorial Coming Soon!<div align="center"><br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/VisorTutorialHeader.jpg" /><br /><br />So my blog here is neglected. I am so sorry. (as if anyone reads it anywhoo), but I thought I'd share something since I am so often inspired by the 2.5 million blogs I read EVERY CHANCE I GET. This morning, 2 of my friends from church were going to come by to take a quick lesson in learning how to sew, so you know that meant I woke up early, and cleaned up the mess that was supposed to be my living room. Then, I finished with time to spare, so of course, on to blogger I went, and while surfing the internet for school clothes deals, I saw a visor, and I thought the classic "I bet I could make that", so I sat back in my hubby's chair, and imagined a pattern, and the process. Then I got up, and made one. I was careful to use fabric I wouldn't mind failing on, but was good enough that if it didn't come out horrendous, H could still use. It's rare that a project without a lot of planning, or patern that I try actually comes out right, but this one.... I love. And I'm not trying to brag (because really, who am I), BUT I'm super duper ooper shmooper impressed with myself! It actually worked! Woo Hoo! so, I'm going to work on a tutorial this weekend, and I will try to have it up next week. Ive never done one of these before, so I hope it comes out well.<br />J<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Visorcollage.jpg" /></div>Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-65932667802147419412010-06-21T10:36:00.001-07:002010-06-21T11:11:26.189-07:00Fathers....Yesterday was fathers day. I know this post is a day late, but as I said, yesterday was fathers day, and we were kinda busy. But I did want to write a bit about the two most important fathers in my life. first of all, my husband. My love who is a wonderful father, and husband is never short of ideas, or jokes (or sometimes lies:) He's always ready to toss the football, or up for a wresteling match! My boys mimic EVERYTHING he does. If daddy does it, then the boys wanna do it. Daddy's a rams fan, and the boys are rams fans. Daddy's a preacher, and the boys wanna preach too! (can't complain about that one) Any boy would be lucky to have him for a father, and I'm glad my boys have him. He is a treasure.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnT-gnWJkdF8na9gNZ_oEVXoS1ZlT2AizmhckNdnGSmTcwxLhJQrX04-BuMPRJW6QaMWCSY3BD9RoF6e6QgrNTXIaRtAk1isOfs3YKpDvoeodHjoawrYVSQTvSqDn3vo_Cry_ljjnCnqE/s1600/Gabe+sr+slip+n+slide.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485282651741889586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnT-gnWJkdF8na9gNZ_oEVXoS1ZlT2AizmhckNdnGSmTcwxLhJQrX04-BuMPRJW6QaMWCSY3BD9RoF6e6QgrNTXIaRtAk1isOfs3YKpDvoeodHjoawrYVSQTvSqDn3vo_Cry_ljjnCnqE/s400/Gabe+sr+slip+n+slide.jpg" /></a> (Slip n sliding in the front yard with the kids)<br /><br />then ofursemy own dad. This year is the fourth year without him. He passed away in 2006, january. I miss him so much i'm amazed I can breath. There's never a day, or a moment that he's not on my mind. Tears still pour. My heart still aches. Whoever said that time heals all was wrong on this one. Because the longer I go without seeing him, the more I miss him. Everyday that passes without me seeing him, the more I realize that I won't see him the next day either. My kids won't have their papa at their graduation. Hannah never got to meet him. Gabriel still remembers him a lot. He still cries sometimes. Gabe and papa were best friends. Gabriel was papa's wing man.<br />My dad was awesome. He loved us like crazy. I never went to sleep feeling like he didn't love me. Sometimes we didn't have a place to live, and sometimes we barely had any food, but we ALWAYS knew we were loved. And he would feed us before he fed himself. He'd buy us toys, and candy instead of clothes for himself even though he needed them.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 316px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485282660112468354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQisG9fdhBrEPoK-3gBEmM-jF2ZRa94og0rqoKKSO2RaV1NagbylDXTNtgGq_zLy2XH08AUWZmd5F0GDxIydj3EwiGZtIVIRjdGdZd1bFlIdMhftmhvnvvkVQmS8ERP53_vE6W5q8NK8s/s400/daddy+kids+pigtails.jpg" />(this is my dad here when my brother and I were 3 and 4 years old. notice his shirt?

I took my dad to the hospital in november, mid november i think. We waited for 3 hours in the oncology room. I didn't even know what oncology was. Then we saw a young man with no hair or eyebrows, and that's when I got nervous. My dad too. When we went in to the exam room, the doctor didnt have a hopeful look. Then he said that my dad had acute leukemia. It was agressive. I looked at my dad, and smiled and said "well, let's make lemonade" He smiled at me, then cried. Then I tried to call my brother from the hospital bathroom, and then my hubby. It only took 2 months for the cancer to take him.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXOc2y01q6xBET-xqv9OzKVyCuqmj8WbqmSJOWqNgmqaby7dRi-t5sGOqFAJvEYs43x4ZBHobejWWfVQH3nRAaE92Ixg0WDsX4FmUG0W8uUVjvsEZeKj3wefcEYG9J-ZqroFnwhZVVaus/s1600/manny-n-jess.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485287302121702850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXOc2y01q6xBET-xqv9OzKVyCuqmj8WbqmSJOWqNgmqaby7dRi-t5sGOqFAJvEYs43x4ZBHobejWWfVQH3nRAaE92Ixg0WDsX4FmUG0W8uUVjvsEZeKj3wefcEYG9J-ZqroFnwhZVVaus/s400/manny-n-jess.jpg" /></a><br />Here's a pic of me gabe, and my dad.

They got off to a rough start, but they loved eachother for sure. My dad knew that Gabe was gonna take care of his daughter. I don't think a father could have asked for a better son in law. So many rememberies.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljVf9ZzgwbwQ4MPO9Fsb03VTTM6EgvLD_ROXfirVMM7a4AsruaH2vmJ7vjdyE8WHUFvPYCmw0wREhC7waUYnkdT8A3Tj7LXvFWr4Pn-0yHobysG25oi8QX6gYs1eNP-50Niuo5aGKFdU/s1600/daddy+%2Bgabriel.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 301px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485287288126941138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgljVf9ZzgwbwQ4MPO9Fsb03VTTM6EgvLD_ROXfirVMM7a4AsruaH2vmJ7vjdyE8WHUFvPYCmw0wREhC7waUYnkdT8A3Tj7LXvFWr4Pn-0yHobysG25oi8QX6gYs1eNP-50Niuo5aGKFdU/s400/daddy+%2Bgabriel.jpg" /></a><br />And here they are again. The two buds. He's got primer all over his hands in this pic. My dad left his el camino (it's a cruck) to little gabe. He's also left us with tons of memories. Not enough pictures, and heavy hearts in his absense. I'm forever a daddy's girl.Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-90602279958860321662010-06-06T22:10:00.000-07:002010-06-06T22:15:13.808-07:00My Pastor's Family...<div align="center">I'm bad at consistently posting!

I wanted to use it right away, to test it out, and all my client pics are on cd's, and my kids are in my comp files, so I decided to use them again. This template would be more for a baby. I also designed a back for it, but it's pretty plain, and more for wording, so you really don't need to see it. I'm thinking about designing a few more, and putting them in my etsy shop. I've only ever sold one item from that place, but maybe I'll sell some more if I add more to my shop... You think? ... :) anywhoo, I loved the colors, LOVED my new digital papers, and of course I love my little girl. Give me some feedback on what you think about the template. I'd love to know.<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannahboo.jpg" /></div>Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-10890899879376058732010-05-23T22:44:00.000-07:002010-05-23T23:29:24.180-07:00So what have YOU been up to?Okay, be ready for photo over load... <br />I've been busy lately. Some parents have waited until the last minute for senior pics, AND ANNOUNCEMENTS!! So to say the least, I've been designing, and cropping, and sending proofs, re-wording, etc...<br />Today RIGHT after church (which was awesome)I took my hubby's little bro. out for some pics. He's graduating from the 8th grade. Actually, he's bieng "promoted" from the 8th grade. This guy has it all. He's sweet, goofy, loves the Lord, and in the last year he has turned into a "looker" I think it's his height... Anyways, I am super pleased with the way they came out, and I think his mom is too (my mother in law) We even designed an announcement/invite. All that took up my WHOLE day. Seriously. <br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Mike4copy.jpg" /><br /><br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Mike3.jpg" /><br /><br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Mike1.jpg" /><br /><br />This guy here is my high school sweet heart. He's my bff. I also think he's kinda super gorgeous. He's also known as my superman. Been married almost 9 years, had lots of ups and downs, but I think we're doing alright. God is at the center of our marriage, and I'm glad because we wouldn't be able to stand eachother if we didn't have our eyes on God. Thank you Jesus! and thank you Hunny. For loving me.... even when sometimes i'm not so loveable...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hunny.jpg" /><br />HA! I just took a few of my little girl (suprise huh) Just so you all know... I do have other children. I know it may not seem that way, but I do. I have two boys. I know you mostly see this little girl, but I just can't help it!!! I love the faces she makes, and how she gets all wierd when the camera comes out! Okay... gotta put more of the boys up...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannahwow.jpg" /><br /><br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/hannahreddoor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannahbrick.jpg" /><br />I did this guy's senior shoot just last week. He was easy. He knew what he wanted, and only had 1 change of clothes! Nice!<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Ch007.jpg" /><br />Did I mention his graduating class is 5?...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Ch002.jpg" /><br />This is not his car. But he saw it in the parking lot, and HAD to take a pic next to it!<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Ch001.jpg" /><br />ARE YOU READY FOR A BEAUTY? This girl is totally super pretty. If we were in H.S. together, I would totally be intimidated by her beauty. But since I'm old, she was just a beautiful young lady. Well, I'm not that old. She even said so herself. I told her "wow, class of 2010 already. I graduated in 2000, can't believe it's been almost 10 years" and she said "Oh, I thought you looked young!" Yep. the young one called me young! Celebrate all...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Cantu012.jpg" /><br />See... pretty...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Cantu011.jpg" /><br />Um... can I please go back to H.S. and be this girl reincarnated?... <br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Cantu005.jpg" /><br />And the best part is... she loves the Lord! Now that's a keeper.<br />Okay, I'm tired.... comment please... PLEASE!!!!<br />G'nite...Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-56115075122156369522010-05-16T14:51:00.000-07:002010-05-16T14:55:26.890-07:00I heart faces again...<div align="center">Well, I thought I'd take a shot at it again. It just so happens that my last post had a picture that I thought would be perfect for this weeks challenge. The theme is flowers and faces. Here is a photo of my little girly girl holding a flower from my mothers day boquet! Just so you know, she was smelling the flower, not eating it... She did however try to do just that later on...<br /></div><center><a href="http://www.iheartfaces.com/"><img src="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/I_Heart_Faces_noborder_125x100.jpg" /></a></center><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://s1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/?action=view&current=Hannahflower.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannahflower.jpg" /></a></div>Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-42148151951006048022010-05-14T12:19:00.000-07:002010-05-14T13:03:23.512-07:00Lovely girlJust wanted to share a pic from our walk today. As I was passing an alley, I noticed that this home had a pretty climbing foliage at the back of their house. They do this to prevent graffiti... If they only knew how to prevent trespassing photographers!! HAHA All the dogs in the neighborhood were barking at us. Got a few cute ones though. Enjoy...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannah51410.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/HGraceSMall.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><img src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannahbw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br /><img src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannahflower.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-21062322768764433032010-05-09T16:31:00.000-07:002010-05-09T16:42:04.116-07:00Little miss Em<div align="center"><em><span >Hi everyone! and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!<br />I had the honor of photographing the cutest little baby girl for her first mothers day!

I've been wanting to snap a pic of my girl and her scrunchy face! She does this all the time, EXCEPT when the camera is in her face! So, here she is, enjoy, laugh, and hope she doesn't do this when it comes to school pics! = )<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannahsscrunchyface.jpg" /><br />This one is just a simple little shot, and I wanted to share it, because she looks just like her big brother Eli!<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/hannahbaby.jpg" /><br />My neice Gabrielle has got to be the cutest little girl! Again, LOOK at those eyes!!! She just celebrated her 2nd birthday, and we made her a gift this year!! Handmade gifts RULE!! I'll share what it is that my hubby and I made...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/GabbyGjg.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/GabbyG2jg.jpg" /><br />Her purple picnic table!! Yeah, we made that table!!!! thanks to ANA from <a href="http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/">knockoffwood.blogspot.com</a> If you haven't been there, you absolutely need to visit! Guaranteed you'll LOVE her site!!<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Gabby3.jpg" /><br />And we made another one for us!!

I don't care anyways, because I never like the way school photos come out! Plus they're expensive, and you have NO options! But my kids got a fresh hair cut anyways so that at least when other kids see their class picture they don't remember my boys as some homeless harried dirtballs! :) And the class picture is a whole other "issue" with me. I'm not sure if it's just my kids' school, or not, but I HATE how they just put individual photos of each kid onto an 8x10, and that's supposed to be the "class" picture. I remember when the kids had to stand together, and smile all at once. I liked those ones better. They have more feeling, more character! Any whoo, Here are my chil'ren...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Eli2.jpg" /><br />Elijah's got to be the HARDEST child on the face of the earth to capture a decent photograph of! When I say smile, he smiles and closes his eyes, when I say "no, open your eyes, he opens his eyes, and stops smiling, then when I finally get him to do both he's completely looking the other way. He is just not a natural when it comes to the camera. As soon as the lens points his way, a wierd boy comes out who doesn't understand what a regular face looks like. He's known for his cuteness, but you wouldn't know it by his "outtakes", and trust me, there are plenty!<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Eli1.jpg" /><br />But I actually did get a coupld decent ones. You should of seen me on the other end of the camera, acting a fool all jumpy and squeeky! Whatever works... Whatever works.<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/gabrielfeet1.jpg" /><br />I accidentaly took this one when I was trying to get my settings on my camera right. I just liked the colors, and the background, and how you couldn't see anyone's face.<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Hannah1.jpg" /><br />She wasn't supposed to be in any, but she insisted on getting in my way! So I figured, hey, she's there, my camera's out, might as well. She was not at all dressed for pics, and her hair wasn't done, she had no shoes on, and slobber down the front of her shirt. But I like it. She was trying to eat those flowers too by the way...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Gabe4.jpg" /><br />Ahh.... Gabe.... He's a natural. He's always been a little model. I'd put him in modeling if I didn't worry about his "attitude" Seriously, this kid LOVES to pose. He has all his own ideas, and outfits in mind. He knows what he wants it to look like, and he's not afraid to tell me "no mom, take the picture from down there" FOR REALS!!! He tells me which angle to shoot! Crazy kid...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Gabe3.jpg" /><br />I can't complain tho. He makes portrait photography look easy. It is easy with him... He does everything for me. Love this guy. He's growing up too fast.<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Gabe2.jpg" /><br />Again ladies and gents, He does his own posing...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Gabe1.jpg" /><br />I din't mean for their "school" pics to come out all senior portraits ish... They just did. <br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Eli3.jpg" /><br />Well, that's all for now...

Lets see how I do here.... I thought I'd take a chance on the weekly photo challenge over at i heart faces! This weeks theme is dramatic black and white. I chose this photo because I could barely see through my viewfinder to catch these girls with my eyes full of tears. Today was the first day of youth camp. Our young people go through so much, and it's refreshing to see some of them worship, and lay down their burdens. These girls each have a story of their own to tell, but for now, just let the photo speak to you, and maybe even provoke you to lay your burdens down too...<br />-God Bless...Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-2459524391508010982010-03-22T08:57:00.000-07:002010-03-22T09:15:25.154-07:00Happy day!Hi THERE! I am blessed this morning. I feel good. My family feels good, and best of all, God is good. Well, He's always good, but still, if you're having a good day, you better mention how good He is! This weekend was nice. My hubby's tia came down from new mexico and hung out with us for a while. Then we had our weekly friendship group which was "cook off" themed. I didn't win. Actually, i didn't "technically" participate. We were supposed to make CHILI RELLENOS! I can't make that! So, I cheated,and made ENCHILADAS! Besides, there was no way my kids would sit down and voluntarily EAT chilis! Our next "cook off" is actually a bake off! I'm going to make this supreme chocolate cherry cake!! ooooh.... Okay, with no further adieu, here are some pics. This one here is at our evangelistic event. Gabe and I were painting faces, and he did a WAY better job than me. This little guy spoke only spanish, but even without understanding him, I could tell he had a great time! My hubby too. He's so cool.<br /><img src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Gabefacepainting.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br />Here are my 2 precious, sweet, upstanding,little gentlemen, and their friends. Okay, so I exaggerated a little. They're actually rough and tough, dirty and frankly, kinda mean. But I love em! These are my next door neighbors, and the boys from up the street. They always play in my front yard. We're like the hot spot for the neighborhood kids. And now, they're all growing up, and into football. Long gone are the days of little trains, and army men. boo.. ENJOY!<br /><img src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/footballbuddies.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br />And now one of my baby boy elijah. Okay, he hates it when i call him my baby boy... He's 6. It's a little blown out, but I still like it! Hope you do too.<br /><img src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/Eli2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br />Whatever things are lovely, and are praise worthy... think on these things!Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-84105050046148229182010-03-20T23:28:00.000-07:002010-03-20T23:35:11.276-07:00Hannah Banana-Bear<div align="center">Isn't she lovely?... Isn't she wonderful?....Made from love.<br />I love this little girl. I can't stop taking pictures of her. And pretty soon, before I even see it coming, she's gonna be one of the guys with her brothers, always dirty... Always making a face right before I click the shutter... or turning their head. I remember when the boys were young, I could pose them, prop them, flash a silly face, and get what I wanted out of them, and now... well.... they make good "boys" that's for sure. And I know Hannah too will one day not cooperate with my lens in her face constantly, but for now. When she has no choice, I'm gonna soak it up. So bear with me will you, because here's another one of this baby girl that I'm sure any reader of this blog is familiar with.<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Blogger%20album/hannahfacepaintwatermark.jpg" /></div>Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-32171284215866386662010-03-15T20:52:00.000-07:002010-03-15T21:12:31.830-07:00Picnic day, and a loooong ride!<div align="center">Oh, what a day! Went bike riding in this gorgeous weather, took the kids to the beach (grassy side) for a picnic! Then to the cemetary to visit my dad, and Officer Javier Bejar. THEN... we had to RUSH home to take the kids back to school, because they had parent teacher conferences today! Mostly good. I won't go into details, but we did reward them for the good with yummy ice cream afterwards. Here's a little snapshot of my little girl after running away from me when we got her out of her seat! Not the best pic, but certainly a good memory. I'm not as fast as her... LOL! Her hair was in her face, I think she got lunch on her dress, and there was still some lunch on her chin. (thanks to photoshop, you really can't see the lunch pieces on her chin) ENJOY!!!!<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/hannahwithwatermark.jpg" /></div>Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-57984095669720302382010-03-14T18:39:00.000-07:002010-03-14T19:03:55.225-07:00To Minister...<div align="center">Today we had our friendship banquet for church. For the last few months, we have been praying for someone, someone that God has put in our heart. My person did not come. I was sadly dissappointed. My husband's prayer person did not come either. We were kind of ignored. Instead of just being told no, we got maybe, then all calls made by my hubby were avoided. He's pretty bummed about it. But other people did show, and we had a great time! I love my church family so much. I am blessed beyone measure. My cup overflows! Here's a humorous little pic of my old man helping to clean. He's always had a servants heart, but it's not often he does this kind of serving,... or cleaning should I say... I love the expression on his face the most! He's my man... and I love him...<br /><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/toministeristoserve.jpg" /> </div>Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-37981306190500458192010-02-22T23:03:00.000-08:002010-02-22T23:20:55.266-08:00Love is...WOW it's been a long time!

The finished product had red buttons going down the middle of the t-shirt. I LOVE the way they came out! I was super excited making these gifts! Did you see the flower? Want me to teach you how to make it? I was thinking how I really want to put up a tutorial of some sort, but I don't get any comments. So if you want a flower clip tutorial, LET ME KNOW! Oh, by the way, sorry about the poor photo quality, I was dead tired, and finished this super late at night. So, Hannah Grace, Savannah, and Gabby all got handmade christmas gifts! Now what am I going to do for next year?!!</div>Jessica Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13477211042635097334noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540965922338957212.post-62835514280227828952009-12-07T19:02:00.000-08:002009-12-07T19:05:42.307-08:00Another preview!<img src="http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af282/holyrollerjess/Soph.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><br />Just another quick one of my friend's engagement shoot.
