Sine I was a little girl I loved Photography. Mainly because my older cousin Stephen P. loved it, and I loved anything he loved. But over the years my love grew into my own. If you know me, then you know how much I love to take pictures...of anyone, or anything. I have often been called the Paparazzi. Here is a few pictures I have taken this year for special occasions, or just because. </div>

We bought a new house this past year, and the kids started Public school. No more homeschooling. It's been a full 3 years of changes. All for the good in my opinion Challenging, but good. </div>

Trenton is still anxiously awaiting for that day, but is really not that close yet. The kids LOVE school. Caitlin started KG this year and loves it. She loves Sunday night cause the next day is school. The other kids are like that some times too. Autumn still stays home with me. She takes speech classes at the kids School. She keeps me on my toes every min. of the day. <br />
Johns still the Pastor at Refuge Sanger, and works full time. He is a pretty busy guy, but always makes time for his family. His health (meaning his lungs) have been great. He has had a few colds here and there and kidney stones (OUCH!). But other than that he is healthy. Praise God!<br />
I'm still a full time stay at home mom. Kate & Autumn have a lot of health issues so we travel to Fresno 1-3 times a week for OT, PT, & many other Dr. appointments through Valley Children's Hospital.That alone seems to be a full time job. I dabbled in Pampered Chef this year and really hoped to make that work, but with the girls hectic Dr. appointments, Johns work schedule, the kids school schedule (including sports), court for the girls, and life with a family of 7, it just seemed to much. I was going to start back up this month, but it just didn't work out. Guess it wasn't meant to be right now. I was very sad about this. I really enjoyed doing it.<br />
Well, that is all for now. I hope to keep this up more often. I really enjoy blogging. Kinda therapeutic.

The last 2 weeks were a blast. We made some great memorise with our kids, and that makes me so happy.<br />One weekend we went to Playland - Kate calls it Disneyland. Trenton said it was the "best day ever!" I agree with Trenton. We rode the train, boats, rides and went to Stroyland. Thank you Groupon!<br />The next weekend we to the snow up at Grant Grove. That was so much fun! Almost all the kids LOVED the snow. Katie Bug was not a fan. Poor thing nearly froze. Next time I will bundle her up better, and I know she will love it. We didn't expect snow up there, but were pleasantly surprised. Snowball fight and all!</span></div></div></div></div>Brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01588510785240806934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944412468301074638.post-52207564686182871222012-02-17T16:44:00.000-08:002012-02-17T16:54:20.289-08:00Nearly New Shop<a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Nearly-New-Shop/279794155419454">http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Nearly-New-Shop/279794155419454</a><br /><br />This is our favorite store and I have had the honor to keep up their facebook.

Lanier. </div>
<br />
It's hard to believe that it was 13 years ago. Where does time go? That cold winter day was one of the greatest days of my life. John and I were so excited to be parents, and Jacob made our life busy and fun. Jacob was truly a gift from God. He was the cutest baby and he brought so much joy to our entire family. His Aunties were in love with him. I think I saw my sisters and Angela more that first year then all our years combined. He stole all of our hearts from day one.<br />
<br />
Jacob was, and still is full of life.<br />
<br />
<div>
He has kept me on my toes since he was first born. We have grown up together. I was just 19 when I had him. It's been an amazing, trying, stretching of faith, fun 13 years.</div>
<br />
<div>
I can't wait to see what God has in store for his teen years. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
I pray that he grows up to be just like his daddy - </div>
<br />
<div>
a hard worker, loyal, loving, humble and most important a heart for Jesus. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
I pray that he won't have to go down rough roads, just to learn simple lessons. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
I pray that his heart for Missions never dies, but only grows deeper. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
I pray that we will always have a special bond, no matter what life throws us.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
I pray that he will find an amazing Godly wife,</div>
<br />
<div>
that will love him, support, and respect him, and pray for him every day. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
1 Sam 1:27 ~<br />
I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. </div>

It started in January 2011. For our anniversary my Hubby took me to this little quaint town - Reedley, Ca. We walked down town and visited several little Thrift stores. We had so much fun. When we left Reedley we both decided we loved the feel of the little town, and could see ourselves living there. So when we got home we called our real estate agent and told him to add Reedley to our search. That same week we found a short sale house that we really liked, and 6 months later we moved into that house. Now that we live in Reeldey we visit the thrift stores as often as we can. John looks for books, I look for clothes and house hold stuff. We have found some great stuff.<br /><br /><br />With Christmas quickly approaching I found myself getting anxious about money, gifts, and how it was all going to work out. I thought it would be fun to do a "Thrift Store Christmas". I just wasn't sure what our family would think. One day my mother in-law and I were talking about Christmas and how things are going to be tight for everyone this year. I hung up the phone, and then quickly called her back and threw out my idea about a Thrift Store Christmas. She loved the idea and said lets do it. I was so excited! Instead of being worried about not having enough money, I am out getting tuns of deals and the best part - having FUN doing it! I was kinda worried that it would be hard to find something for everyone, but so far it has been easy. I can't wait to share with all of you the before and after pictures of the treasures I've found. But you'll have to wait till after Christmas, or else my family will know what they are getting.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>How to have a successfully Thrift Store Christmas:</p><br /><ol><br /><li>Shop your thrift stores as often as you can.</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Have a list of people you want to buy for. Mark off that persons name when you buy them a gift.</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Keep a large box (with a lid) to hide your gifts in</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Ask when your local thrift store will be having special sales</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Buy things you know you can make look new</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Frames can always be spray painted, then add a special picture, kids art or scripture</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Make sure toys are clean or can be cleaned and have all the right pieces.</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Look for neat coffee mugs and put a Starbucks card in it or a small bag of coffee.</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Look for DVDs or VHS (make sure the receiver has a VHS still). Then make a movie basket with popcorn, hot coco, and candy in it. Then add a tag saying - Family Movie night!</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Shop with friends - just cause it's funner!</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Include your kids. If you buy a picture frame, have them make art for it, or have them pick out a special picture.</li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>Look through pinterest for inspiration. <a href="http://pinterest.com/">http://pinterest.com/</a></li></ol><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>NOTE: LOTS OF ITEMS CAN BE WASHED IN THE DISHWASHER OR WASHING MACHINE AND COME OUT LOOKING NEW.</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p>LAST BUT NOT LEAST - Remember, there is one perfect gift that was given freely to us all. His name is Jesus! May we not loose sight of that this Christmas.<br /><br />If you have any ideas that might help someone out please leave me a message.

If you know anything about couponing, you know it takes a lot of focus. So, there I am trying my hardest to stay focused w/ my 2 daughters( Kate - 4 and Autumn -2). I know, I know, I am not very bright taking 2 small children with me while I try to stay focused. Who was I kidding? Anywho, I am getting down to the last isle and it's the makeup isle (I barely ever go down that isle, but today I thought I would look, since I had a coupon). As we get to that Isle Autumn starts pulling Kate's hair. Kate is now almost in tears saying "stop it Autumn". I then turn to Autumn and sternly say "No, it isn't nice to pull Sissy's hair, we need to be gentle", which now means her tears start flowing.... and she is ticked at me. I take a deep breath and sigh (cause now I am overwhelmed), then I feel this soft touch on my shoulder and hear this little voice say, "It's ok my dear, just be thankful they are happy and healthy". I turned to look who said this. It was a little old lady, with the kindest smile. So I respond "your right...she's just so ornery". She says "she may be ornery, but you are so blessed to have a child healthy enough to be so spunky". Then she proceeds to tell me for a half hour (which I didn't mind at all) about her twins. Which by the way, Autumn sat through it all without a peep. One of the twins passed away at birth and the other has cerebral palsy. She told me of Gods faithfulness to her and her children. At first I thought I was there just to listen to a little old lady that needed to talk, but as I listened, her words brought so much comfort to my heart. She spoke of being a Christian and how God brought people to her right when she need them. She spoke of heaven, and how He has treasures awaiting for me there. I just stood there with tears in my eyes in disbelief that this was taking place in the make up isle at CVS. I told her that her words of encouragement came at the perfect time, and how grateful I was to have met her. She then hugged me so tight, as if I were a long lost family member. It was amazing. As we said goodbye I noticed that a lady I had talked to earlier about makeup, was on her knees beside us. She had listened to the whole thing. She acted as if she were looking at lotion, but the way she looked at me at that moment said differently. So then i began to think that this may have been for her too. That thought made me so excited. This woman may have just seen the Gospel in action for the 1st time. Who knows! My heart is still overwhelmed with gratitude to God for His perfect timing. To see for just a glimpse the crazy amount of love He has for me, and how He cared that I was feeling overwhelmed. That he met me where I was at, at that very moment. Oh how he loves me...a wretch like me. It's truly mind boggling! Wow! So in awe.<br />May you know His amazing love for you today. If you don't know of His love, Ask Him to show you. He will.Brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01588510785240806934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944412468301074638.post-26581297293067596332011-05-16T12:42:00.000-07:002011-05-16T17:21:46.711-07:00Mommy & Me Date<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn8iZJNHYLOIVQq0xeT3ENphN6PFCzdFLq-iLXftXzXorzF3s2Ccr5casMSnf9LQ2yuQQo0RbHzhd8dZaEAY61IY7H2-NbKFFhTEMTDwzA4s-rWDQF1BYT49cjh0CIEjIJE1VeqXs2/s1600/IMG_0021.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607405641894883202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn8iZJNHYLOIVQq0xeT3ENphN6PFCzdFLq-iLXftXzXorzF3s2Ccr5casMSnf9LQ2yuQQo0RbHzhd8dZaEAY61IY7H2-NbKFFhTEMTDwzA4s-rWDQF1BYT49cjh0CIEjIJE1VeqXs2/s320/IMG_0021.JPG" /></a> Yay!!!....It's Elmo!!!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607405613501783458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-0cK__nC2tmm1ifDo9TgAuan3PgB8qVKloYeK5DLgjKu2ZHFBhc_SA3bZT5D5VgWnB9Sr9bAkN_Ndr7vsTnhwbEOWZuG9IrEoRZVhLBLfyZ85VIQnWuji2idEvRLzHpeJsTWs0Mbq/s320/IMG_0095.JPG" />Hi Elmo!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607404010556963282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVtl3oM6MXmyyAnRi8laeVFGCjDNvQgE4_KFDOxr6g7WcT1q62Kn75x9YLpnVy-5n9If1BWGURXv4PmgHb0Yf2_-8Ao-RaqWh_csdHB1mghikzwRrqaJ3giEvfP0l-jpxtt8hEfWsr/s320/IMG_0099.JPG" /> A dear friend of ours blessed our socks off by giving us 2 free tickets to see Elmo Live.

The girls were then taken by CPS and were soon going to be placed into Foster Care. John and I both wanted the girls to come & stay with us. John and I were so thankful to God that we had just moved into a house big enough to squeeze them in. Things were tight (in all ways) but we saw God work in miraculous ways. As time went on John and I both knew this was bigger then we thought, this was more permanent than we thought. But that was ok, because we serve a BIG GOD! It was awesome to see God work in all of our hearts, the girls quickly became a part of our family. They already were by blood, but He made it deeper than that. Only God could do what he did with our family. He knitted our hearts together in a way only He could. I saw my 3 oldest kids become big brothers and big Sister to the girls. And John and I feel so blessed to be able to raise these two beautiful girls. Sure, there is trails and tears, but the joy and love I get from being their mommy make it all worth it. So now Our family is the # of completion ~ The Lanier family of 7! </span><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;">All Glory goes to God, who has done far greater things than we could ever hoped for or imagined.

I started the biggest Loser contest with LC's Fitcamp. You can read my post on my first experience with Fitcamp from back in Jan. - http://brandelss.blogspot.com/2010/01/fat-chance-and-fit-camp.html - . <br />Anywho, today was the last weigh in and I just found out that I didn't win. I was kinda bummed at first, but then I remembered that I have lost -28 lbs. since I started fitcamp, went down a pant size, feel much better, and have met several of the goals I set when I started. I have lost -22.4 lbs, -27.5 inches, -9.81% weight loss since I started Biggest loser... I'm okay with that. I also get one free month of training...whoopee! I still have a long way to go, but I know now that it can be done. It just takes time. I like things fast and now, but I'm trying to remember that lasting weight lost takes time. I want to do this right, and healthy, so I press on - I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength!<br /><br />Results -<br />http://lcfitcamp.blogspot.com/2010/06/and-winner-is.html<br /><br />Thank you Shea for inspiring me and telling me about Fitcamp, and thank you LC for helping me meet those goals and encouraging me along the way! You girls rock!<br />Congrats Stephanie!Brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01588510785240806934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944412468301074638.post-23893347635648078182010-06-03T14:31:00.000-07:002010-06-04T15:11:26.188-07:00I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength!Last month John and I were blessed to have our two Nieces - Caitlin and Autumn - come live with us. We both knew that this was best for the girls at the time, and we didn't really think past that. Now that we are one month into this situation, we have decided to go forward with guardianship (It's really the only option at this time). We all have loved having the girls be apart of our every day lives. They have brought a lot of joy into our home. Sure, there are struggles and even some tears at times, but I rest in the fact that "HE" knows. He allowed the girls to come here and He will make all things work out for good (Romans 8:28). I also stand often on the scripture that says "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Phil. 4:13. I quote that a lot these days.<br />I don't know what we would do without our friends and family that have surrounded us with love and support and who are encouraging us w/ cards, baby furniture, letting us barrow their car for a month, painting (that blessed Johns socks off), baby clothes, diapers and best of all...Gods word. Thank you, you know who you are. I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future! That is what gives me peace during the tough times. <br />Please continue to pray for us and for the girls as we continue to adjust to this new life.
