Small Hidden Blessings:)

  I have learned over the years that blessings come in many forms. Sometimes plans you make fall through so that you can receive a blessing that you would have missed. I hope this helps all of you to see the deeper blessings in situations when plans fall through!

 My Great Grandma called Wednesday to let us know of the Kirk Family reunion on Saturday. I didn't have the heart to tell her that we wouldn't be here to go if weather was permitting. Just our luck a  cold front moved in late Thursday night and just got colder by Saturday morning. We were all upset that it was too cold to go, BUT it allowed us to be able to go to the family reunion:)

  I am glad that we were able to go. Some family members I haven't seen in a while! We decided this was the perfect picture opportunity! Not sure why we had never thought of it before but this year we did!! It was still cold outside but we managed to gather everyone outside and got some pics of each family and the whole family as a whole:) I also got some great shots inside!

This picture is of my Mom and my girls! My Mom's Grandbabies are her world:) My Mom and I have a VERY strong bond. I love her with all my heart! She has been by my side through thick and thin! I couldn't have asked for a better Mom! Not only is she my Mom but she is my best friend!

This is my Great Grandma Illa Kirk and my kid's Great Great Grandma! Grandma is the sweetest woman you will ever meet! She is a VERY devoted Christian woman and puts everyone else first before herself! I am proud to call her Grandma and I am even happier that my kids are able to know her!

  This is my Aunt Mary and I:) She is my Grandma's Daughter and is just as sweet as my Grandma! She is the one that puts everything together to make each reunion possible!

  This is my family! My Dad couldn't be here cause he is a truck driver and was working:( My husband also couldn't be here because he was working on a side job. He was hoping to make it but he didn't quiet make it:(

  Me and my BEAUTIFUL kiddos!!! These 4 lil souls are my world!! I couldn't imagine life without them!

  My Aunt Ella and her family. Ella is also my Grandma's Daughter and like my Grandma is the sweetest woman you will ever meet! Her and Charles (her husband) have their very own church here in Roff.

  This is a pic of all the Grandkids and Great Grandkids that were able to make it to the family reunion. There are LOTS more to be added to this pic! Hopefully next year we will have quiet a few more to add to this picture!!

  My Great Grandma and me! I love this woman!! I strive to be as kind hearted as she is!

  Grandma and her Kids and their spouses. There are a couple not in this pic because they couldn't make it and my Grandpa Jim Kirk who has passed away. I would have loved to have had him still here to be in this pic:(

  Aunt Mary and her son Kevin:)

  My cousin Kevin and his oldest son Tyler:) Tyler will soon be going into the Army.

  Me and Tyler:)

  My Uncle Mat and his family:)

  My cousin Junior and his girlfriend Becky:)

  My Aunt Barbara and Grandma:) This is my Dad's sister and she is the sweetest FUNNIEST woman you will EVER meet!

  My Aunt Mary and her family:)

  I know this is family but I am not sure who they are lol! I am sure I am not the only one that has family and don't know who they are! But I will find out and when I do I will update this info!

  My cousin Ashley and her beautiful kiddos!! Her husband Dustin was there for a bit but had to leave to attend the Chickasaw Festival in Tishomingo.

  My cousin Corey and his boys:)

  So needless to say you can see from the pics that we still had a pretty AWESOME day with family!! BUT it didn't end there!!!  Later Saturday evening we went to dinner with my mom at Smokin Joe's in Sulphur and went by the Chickasaw National Park! We got some pretty good pics there too!

 
  This is Little Niagra! It is a fresh water spring that is VERY cold no matter what season you go! This past summer has been pretty hard on the spring and there is very little water in it causing it to get stagnant and they have closed off all of the swimming spots:(

  My mom and the kiddos! I wished I had brought my regular camera but I just thought we were going to dinner LOL!!

  So as you can tell we had a pretty good Saturday even though we didn't get to do what we had planned! So the next time your plans fall through look a little deeper and see what your unexpected blessing is!! You never know what God has in store for you!!
