Over a month....

Holy cow! It's been so long since I even have time to look at my blog. I am so behind. Let's see, my sister got married and that was the last major life event. I have been studying my rear off (well it's still there), but I am really trying will all of me to pass this algebra class. I alway say that I am not a math person, but by golly I am going to make myself become one. Also, I have been subbing like no tommorrow. Which is a good thing considering I like to pay my bills. :)

So, I promise to get back on track and update this thing more often than once a month. I have been on facebook ALOT! Which is soo much fun!

The kids are doing well, they are growing like weeds. They just finished with basketball and did quite well I might add. The boys will start baseball next and we will help coach, which is always fun!

Our latest endevour is the chickens...we are raising baby chickens for eggs. Apparently, you can have chickens lay eggs without a rooster. Go figure, so that is us. I guess we really do have a funny farm now. How appropriate!

buzz....

Ok, sometimes I am amazed at kids' outlook on things. For example, I was babysitting the other day (not something I do often, but..) and the kids were outside playing. For some strange reason, we have alot of bees in our yard and the b. sitting kids questioned the Love-bug about why we had so many bee friends, The Love-bug promptly answered, " I think it's because of all the honey in my ears." Love it!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to everyone. I am so hopeful and prayerful that this year will be better for us all than the last. I am really optimistic. We have such an opportunity to get our lives in order, debts paid off or at least paid on, kids strengthened, bodies healthy and so on... If we don't want to make resolutions, mabey we can set a goal to at least do the very best each day with what we can. Happy wishes to all , I hope this is the best year yet...xoxox

So, I (actually, come to think of it,Lizzy-Lu (it's so nice to have a daughter who loves to paint as much as I do) painted it black for me and we sanded it on the edges. I absolutely have fallen in love with it all over again! It's amazing how a little paint can give new life to the things we love.

makeover...

I love this table. I bought it new along with a couch a few years ago... since that time, the couch has been replaced and the table, well needed a facelift. Isn't it funny how things we loves so much once don't appeal to us as much as time goes on? Anyway....

It's raining, it's poring...

The Old man is snoring... I am in Mesa this weekend and it is pouring rain. I am loving it. It is one of my favorite things. I have never lived where it snows and am not sure I would like it. It snowed last year in Safford and it was fun for about five minutes, then comes the slushy, muddy, wet, sick kids. Fun? Not so much. I will take the rain anytime. I guess I appreciate it because it doesn't rain all of the time. I think if I lived in Oregon, I probably wouldn't appreciate it as much as it rains there often. Anyway, just a thought...
