the real us!!!


a real farm fam picture!!!

hahah!!!

thought you would get a kick
outta this one!!!!

several are missing!!!

oh well, thats how it is these days!!!

remember my friend Nikki that
came for a visit....she took it on a whim that day she
was here!!!

but I guess its the "real" us!!!!

the reason I like it so much,
is because I think everyone
is smiling
which is sooooooo rare!!!!!

:D











texas job!!!




Thought you might wanna see what the guys are up to!!! They are in Texas building another school out of the insulated concrete forms!! They are coming along but still have about a month left. Coming home on the weekends, makes it hard for them to accomplish much on their own houses here. I would say after hours they are not hurting for entertainment. They have hit Six Flags, a Texas Ranger baseball game, checked out the "cow town" area and also have had the opportunity to eat with one of Terry's college friends so that gave them a break from the restaurants that is their diner for lunches and dinners!! Hope they appreciate home cooked when they do come home!!!

Oh, guess what???? I sold the buffet I had pictured on the previous post!! Very glad for that!! Now I can buy a vegetable sink for the new cabinet area expected to be done in under two weeks hopefully!!!

It has been so nice here, sunny and in the 80's!! The closer it can get to 90 degrees will make me one happy gal!

Happy Thursday!!

joshua's bd pictures! and other stuff!!

Joshua had a "Drawing Party!" He really enjoys drawing and is pretty talented with sketching. I told him he could be an architect designing houses and neighborhoods and Caleb, Daniel and Elijah could build them for him! Sounds like a good plan to me!! I think he had a good day! Got em' a new bike! We go through bikes like toilet paper!! hahah!!! Sidewalk riding is quite different than country/pasture riding and bikes don't last long when big trucks smash them!! We'll see how long this one lasts.


I got out a few of Joshua's best drawings to
help decorate the table!

I guess I am hooked on these "dessert tables"
for bd parties now!
this one was not that "big"



choc kisses and choc cookies.....can't go wrong there!!

can you tell the "pencils" are sugar cookies??
I tortured myself again and made the
royal icing, guess it was good
I did not make a vow to
never make them again!!



the new bike!
and today being Monday, its still in
one piece....him and the bike!!

Joel's tree looked so pretty this season!
and I so enjoyed looking
at all the tulips......LIFE!!

and this sweet girl looks good enough to eat.....lime sherbet!!


and who could resist taking a picture of
this little lady!?!?


In the beginning there was "dirt!!"


then there was a big guy
to make cool jumps........

for little guys to jump over
and hopefully not crash and make their
mom
sad!!



.....but he did crash
and thought it was so neat!
so I guess
I am not
sad!!
