Summer Break already almost over.

2011-07-30T12:47:00.000-07:00

I can't believe in 2 more weeks my children will be back in school. Where did summer break go? My kids will be in 5th grade, Sophmore in high school, and a junior in high school. Wow they are all growing up. I planned on trying to get so much done this summer and have accomplished nothing. I guess I'll shoot for when the kids go back to school in a couple of weeks starting all those things I've been wanting to do. Stamping, sewing are at the top of my list. Not to mention I have some needlepoint projects I've been wanting to try. Need more ideals.

It's Been Awhile!!

2011-04-05T16:50:00.000-07:00

Okay so I am not good at keeping up with my blog. So what am I doing not alot. Kayla, WBC Acteens, and I went to Bowling Green over the weekend to Exalt. Made it down there and back without getting lost. Hooray for me! Maybe that should be Hooray for the girls! Steve gave me great directions and a GPS to get down there. It worked great. We named her Daisy. I was so sad to have to give her back. We had a great time Bo Warren was there for the music. Katie Richards did worship. It was awesome. This years Acteen Panelist did some different skits and things. They all did a great job. I can't wait till next year. I hope Bo will be invited back. While we was gone the boys had the house to their self. Needless to say right before I left Dakota decided to go spend the night at a friends house he felt like he was safer and would get fed there better than depending on Daddy. LOL Matthew did some stuff with a friend. Steve did the same old stuff as usual.

Today Patsy brought the kids kites. Me and Dakota decided to fly one we did okay couldn't keep it up more than 30 seconds. Needless to say you must have to be scholars to fly a kite. LOL

Winter Snow

2011-01-21T14:59:00.000-08:00

It has been so cold here. We have had more snow in the last 2 months than ever. Not to mention we get alot of our snow in February and March which we haven't hit yet. Kids are so bored since this makes their 9th or so day out for weather. They were off yesterday and today. Today I did wise up and made them all do chores. Which helped a little but now those chores are done and their getting on each others nerves again. Not to mention mine. Aw the wonderful days of kids going to school. My children are more enthused by playing outside. Temperatures are just soooooo cold, they can't be out there for more than a few minutes. Now we are on a weekend which is going to make for them to be restless since they have already been out 2 days.

Well I am going to make homemade pizza for supper and do some baking. I am making my kids all time favorite quick bread. Peanut butter n' Banana bread with peanut butter icing. If all goes well I'll post a picture for all to see. To bad computers don't let you download smells. It always feels the house with wonderful smell of banana and peanut butter. I'm getting hungry just talking about it.

Amy Grant - Grown-Up Christmas List

2010-12-12T19:27:00.000-08:00

Today is just a lazy day.

2010-12-11T17:56:00.000-08:00

Today is a lazy day for me. I haven't really done anything. I did pull out Christmas decorations. I found the ornaments for the tree. Unfortunately they are still sitting in the box in the middle of the floor. Steve is at the garage working on the white beast. Since it has been so many problems it's a beast in my eyes now. As much as I loved the old truck when we bought it I despise it now. He did get his green truck running right. Thank God for that. Especially since the white beast has been so tempormental and a mountain of problems.

Dakota was sick yesterday and had to come home from school. I worked so grandma had to pick him up and stay with him. Kayla has been being lazy all day. Matthew was at a friend's house and has came home now. Dakota is at a friends house now. Oh yea it must of been a 12 hour bug. He woke this morning feeling great and bouncing off the walls.

I have been working to send out family and friends Christmas cards. I love mail so I try to send as much out as I can to bring a smile to others. It beats getting bills and junk in the mailbox.

Anyway just a lazy day. I'll take more of them. Haven't done any Christmas shopping, I guess I got to do that. I'll wait until Christmas week that away maybe I'll get some deals. Or not. If nothing else I don't have to store it if I wait.

Hope everyone has had a lazy joy filled day.

Card making day

2010-10-26T04:34:00.000-07:00

Alright, I haven't spent much time lately on stamping or writing my penpals due to I just haven't felt well. After the note I got yesterday I've decided to take today to see what all I can make. Hopefully I come up with a ton of cute and gorgeous cards that all my friends can appreciate.

What is everyone else doing today? We are suppose to have rain today. We will see if it really happens. Our yard has turned into a dessert. I'm not over exaggerating either. Its been so dry that are dirt is so dry its like sand and rolling over the hill. We can't even drive the 4wheeler in the yard due to its so dry and we sit on a hill that the 4 wheeler just slides over the hill in the powdery dirt. We are also suppose to have high winds today. I can do with out that. I guess as soon as it gets daylight I'll need to go outside and tie everything down in the yard.

Bad start to the weekend!

2010-10-03T12:20:00.000-07:00

We had a bad start to the weekend. Hope that never happens again. Makes for a horrible weekend, week, month, and year. If I stay faithful to God and keep looking to him things will get better. I will continue to pray. I just don't know how much more I can take. I could use all the prayers I can get. Thank you all for your prayers.

Mom's In Touch Prayer Group Thursday, Sept. 23

2010-09-26T06:57:00.000-07:00

Mom's In Touch Prayer Group we continued to thank God for his many blessings in our lifes, childrens lifes, and schools. All though we only had 2 for the prayer meeting we know that God heres are prayers. We continue to pray for the schools, staff, and children of the schools. We also pray for specific prayer requests regarding the schools, staff, and children.

Does your child or their school not need prayers? Are you one to only pray for your child and school when there is a specific need? What would praying regularly for your child and their school do for your child? How would praying each week change the course of your childs life? Is your child a child with no problems that doesn't need prayers? Even a child that has no specific prayer needs can use prayers. It will change the course of your child if you will just pray for them. Come join us at Williamstown Baptist on Thursday's at 11am.

You can go on to the Mom's In Touch website and find MIT prayer requests. Also news that is happening with MIT. I will get that website on my blog for easy access for you all.

What a day!

2010-08-14T17:37:00.000-07:00

Had a friend of Kayla's come over this morning then took Kayla to the school for soccer game. Left her went to Walmart. It was my mommy's birthday. Then went to family reunion. While there Kayla called game cancelled on their way back to school. So had to leave go get her then go back to family reunion. Loved seeing all of my family. Atleast the ones that were there. Then left came home. Boys have been snippy. Makes for a long, long day. Can't wait for all to be in bed.

A nothing day

2010-07-15T09:35:00.001-07:00

Just thought I would check in. Today is a nothing or a do nothing day. The sun is shining looks gorgeous out my bedroom window. My girl still at Christophers. Coming home Sunday. May I add she's bringing home two rabbits. My little animal lover. The boys are wanting to go swimming. Would rather stay at home. I should be cleaning but instead sitting on the computer. I also need to finish Kayla's birthday present before she gets home and I am behind on cards. I have none made I really need to get off my butt and make a ton so I'm not behind. I pray all is well with my friends, family, pen pals, facebook pals, and my fellow blogger friends. Enjoy the pretty day God given day.

You can't take back the memories.

2010-07-05T21:38:00.000-07:00

Rather it be in death, divorce, love, or loss you can't take back the memories that I have. When you come into someones life and are there for any amount of time that love, devotion, and friendship will always be there. Rather death or divorce comes to pass that doesn't change the time we have invested in our relationship. So don't ask me to cut someone off or Not be civil to that person. You may expect that I won't discuss you with them out of respect to my relationship with you, the love, devotion, and friendship that I have with you but I will not cut someone off. Rather it be a conflict, divorce, or whatever it may be that doesn't affect my relationship. Conflict, divorce, and death are ugly. They all most of the time get very nasty. Even from the very best christian and kindest person. I can love you all without being 2 faced or a brown noser. The difference between you and I, I know there are 2 sides to every story I also know when people are upset they say just about anything. That's okay cause I'm not getting involved. I'm still going to love all involved and socialize with both parties. If that makes you dislike me so be it. Just remember that if the situation is ever involving you you can count on the same from me.

Also, if those had reconciled I guaranteee you those who's slamming that person now would be peaches and cream to them then. The difference is I'm peaches and cream to all now and don't get involved.

FAMILY

2010-07-05T10:06:00.000-07:00

We had a great time yesterday with our family for 4th of July. Thanks to all who came.

Sunday

2010-06-27T07:57:00.000-07:00

Boys off to the lake. Kayla getting stuff together to be gone this week to babysit. Yay! Its always so quiet when one of the older kids are gone. It also gives Dakota a break. I'm getting ready to write my pen pals. I am so behind on them. Everything good.

Kayla gets a laugh

2010-06-26T11:28:00.000-07:00

Kayla spent the night with our friend she came home rolling that she flipped their grandpa off a rocker. On accident of course but she still is laughing about it. She's amused so easily.

Missed So Much!

2010-06-25T21:19:00.000-07:00

We went to our friends birthday party. It was great!! I have missed them so very much. So glad we have reconnected. We can never let anything come between a friendship again. There has been so much time lost. That's okay we've reconnected and we will make up for those 4 years that has gone by. Don't let anything come between your friendships.

Friends

2010-06-25T10:22:00.000-07:00

We are going to go to a birthday party today. Its with friends we havent seen in years. Pray that it all goes well. That we are able to reconnect and heal damaged wounds from the past. May God guide us and lead us rather it be to a close relationship again or whatever his will may be. Thank God for all the things he has given us. We would not have anything if it wasn't for his will and grace. May God fill us with his never ending love and grace. And continue to provide for us in everyway.

MIT Prayer Group went great. Nothing feels any better than getting together with other Mom's and praying for our schools, teachers, and children in the community. Everyone should give it a try.

Good Day!

2010-06-23T19:48:00.001-07:00

I guess it was a good day other than the heat. It was pretty outside. My kids, dogs, cat are all happy and in bed so I would say it was a good day. Hope everyone had a good day. Tomorrow at 11am at the Williamstown Baptist Church is the Mom's In Touch Prayer Meeting all welcome.

EXTREMELY HOT!!!!

2010-06-23T12:35:00.000-07:00

Have I said how hot it is? It is so hot its miserable. I've got one kid cleaning the kitchen, one doing laundry, and weeding the garden. How I pulled that off I have no ideal. Wish I could take a nap but that would look bad when I have my kids working.

It's so HOT!

2010-06-23T10:41:00.001-07:00

It is so very hot today. Trying to get some chores done. BLAH! Hard to do anything in this heat. Although in the house it's comfortable. Looking out my window the sun is shining. The kids are plalying. Looks very nice until you walk out the door and are hit by the humidity and heat. Hope all is well, everyone is staying cool, and drinking plenty of water.

All is sleeping

2010-06-22T20:58:00.001-07:00

What I see outside my window - darkness and street lights

What I hear - snoring and the humming of the fan

My quote for the day - Jeremiah 29:11

What is coming out of the kitchen - smells of cheese burgers and french fries

Who is around - no one all is sleeping with the exception of the cat.

Tuesday

2010-06-22T11:41:00.000-07:00

Things are good and slow today. Quite peaceful day. Today is the day that I am quiting smoking. I'm done being controlled by a cigerate. I pray for God to give me the will power to quit, to take away all the cravings, and for me not to give them another thought. I will not be a smoker any longer.

God Answers Prayers

2010-06-21T12:03:00.000-07:00

Today we got the answer to our prayers. We had been waiting for some news on a family member. We had been praying and having faith in God for the results and he came through. As God always does. Thank you God for all the good you do. Thank you for all things you provide for us; our health, safety, food, roof over our heads, our income to provide for us, and everything else you provide us.

Camp with the Girls!

2010-06-20T21:11:00.001-07:00

We had a great time at the Acteens overnight. Only wish Saturday it wasn't storming, I was really looking forward to doing the zip line with the girls. Maybe next year. I fell and now my finger and hand are swollen and sore. But hopefully in the next few days that will be better. I'm so glad there was no cameras around when I fell. LOL :)

Happy Father's Day to all!

2010-06-20T20:32:00.000-07:00

We had a fairly nice Father's Day. I slept until noon then got up and went to see my Dad. We had a nice day.
