What a sweet picture of love.

This article is about DeMarcus Ware of the Dallas Cowboys, who gets his fulfillment from something other than Football. The picture reminds me of an Ann Gedde photo. Check it out!

Move That Bus! Move That Bus! Move that bus...

This post written by guest blogger - Caroline



Home Extreme Makeover was near our area this week. We decided to at least try it and see how long everyone would last in the extreme heat of 95 degrees. :) This was the last day and we hoped we would get to see the family come home. Needless to say it was very crowded. (See below)






What was kind of fun to see the behind the scenes of how they made the show. For example when the family comes home they have to focus on getting all the shots of the family's reaction so before the limo even got there the camera crew got 5 shots of the crowd chanting "Move that bus! move that bus! move that bus!" They also got multiple shots of the bus pulling away. We also got to see Ty from a distance.


Even though it was hot, sweaty and we were in the very back of the crowd, it was kind of fun to be in the action. At one point when we were starting to get to the end of our rope, Paul (a member of the design team) got on a mega phone and told every on that the family would be home in 2 minutes. The whole place erupted. However, it wasn't until 45 minutes later that the limo pulled down the street. Due to many filed complains within the 45 minitues Mom decided that we would stay till the big Move That Bus moment.


It is supposed to air the second week of the new season. (some day in October) I doubt we'll be seen, but you should hear our voices!







someone was very tired

Forever Day!!! #2

Today two year ago we brought Asher home from Ethiopia. The day was full of tears, joy, love and to be honest lots of spinning on my part from the LONG travel. Our life and family has been forever changed and we are so glad to have a fourth Ewing child in our family. We are deeply blessed!!! Happy Forever Day, Asher!

Fun with Far Away Friends!

We had so much fun with some awesome friends that came into town and stopped to visit with us. I met Shelley two years ago when we went to ET to pick up our kids. We so wish we lived closer and this could be a weekly event. We went to play in the park. Her kids are so wonderfully made with different personalities and they all seemed to enjoy their time together sooo much. My kids couldn't stop quoting their new friends and reliving the moment. Thanks, for the pick me up Shelley!

Blue Ribbon Day!

Abby recently had a horse show and earned her first blue ribbon. Here is her trail (blue ribbon) ride and some photos of the day! She sure loves to ride and Serenity did a wonderful job as well. Besides her horsemanship, walk trout and trail entries, Abby was able to join in the games this time as well. She rode with an egg in a spoon, an apple under her neck and tried to be the first to drink her baby bottle while riding. All in all a fun day of riding!
