We entered the season of birthdays. Lolo turned 12! She celebrated with a sweet group of friends and everyone could attend even during the Thanksgiving break on her actual birthday (she was estatic about that fact). We went to a local facility that has wall to wall and on the wall trampolines. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The girls played several games of dodgeball, as well as bouncing into a large foam pit. Everyone had a great time. We only needed an ice pack, once. However, I had to make several bathroom trips (having babies is not good on the bladder). <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Summer was upon me and I was loving the idea of laying poolside and doing what I do best-relaxing and reading. The premise of this story was very intriguing and almost anyone in today's modern society with its constant demands and urgency would find it appealing. A reality show that tries to duplicate Amish life. The main characters were highly relatable. I enjoyed the insightful revelations and continued aspect of all things simple are not necessary easier or convienent. However I did not feel that there were any real surprised that were not to be expected. This story is a good summer read with a predictable ending.Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133933260104082316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566275756644957172.post-25585857915533080432012-07-05T20:52:00.000-07:002012-07-05T20:53:12.413-07:00Good new seriesI love to read. Yes, it is usually just for fun and it thrills me to no end when I find a great good that keeps me up till the wee hours of the morning because I just have to know what happens next. Well...I recently received <u>Submerged</u>, by Dani Pettrey, and that is what happened. The story is an immediately gripping tale that draws you in and has you rooting for the characters. The regrettable past and pain are excellently portraited for Bailey. Cole emerges as a deeply loyal and caring character that instantly shows all the attributes of a hero. I enjoyed all the characters and their interactions as well as the suspense and the intertwined love stories. The scenery and descriptive imagery was fascinating and the history was interesting. The end was a bit abrupt but I am definitely hooked to get the next book in the Alaskan Courage series.

The story was an interesting one and I enjoyed the unexpected twists of events. I do wish she would have taken more time to compare the main character with our Lord God, and our adoption as child of God. I would not give great praise but it was a nice pool side summer read.Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133933260104082316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566275756644957172.post-82229929989884702982012-06-20T20:10:00.001-07:002012-06-20T20:10:18.987-07:00Family talents<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

However, once the show began all were captivated with the performance. Terr and Add had a wonderful time. They were so enthralled and not a disruption, I was surprised given that I cannot even read a book to them without a plethora of questions and interuptions. Once the lights were flashed to indicate the conclusion of intermission, Terr was almost in tears that she did not want to miss it and was ready to throw away the large bag of candy to return to her seat. Add has taken to calling the dog "Sandy", found a red and white polka doted dress she calls her "Annie" outfit, they sing "It's a Hard Enough Life" during chore time, and "Tomorrow" at bedtime, and we have bribed Add to give up the pacifier for the original movie. It was a most memorable time.<br />

I recently got the opportunity to read <u>Unashamed To Bear His Name,</u> by R. T. Kendall from Bethany House Publishers. I had previously not had any knowledge of the author and therefore had no preconcieved notions about his convictions and experiences. Throughout the book I found refreshing wisdom in his experiences. It was a thought provoking read and helped for introspection on what motivated behaviors, be it sound Biblical conviction or religion habit. How far would you be willing to go to follow God's direction? What or who would you give up for Him? These questions seem ready for the rote answer but Jesus revealed to me the need to stop and see faces/items/experiences before responding. An exceptionally faith growing tool.Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133933260104082316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566275756644957172.post-26502585046471262402012-04-15T18:42:00.000-07:002012-04-15T18:42:31.338-07:00Our latest miracleWithout sharing too much of my husbands testimony (for it is his to share for God's glory)...four and a half years ago I would have told you, "You are crazy!' to suggest what happened two weeks ago.

Perhaps a wonderful time to prune the flowerbeds, plant flowers, and lay new mulch. Enjoying the outdoors, a little sweat and hard work, it was going splendidly. However, our friendly, albeit territorial dog Maggie, decides that the <i><b>great dane, Lucy,</b></i> that is being walked on a lease has come a bit too close to her turf and proceeds to run full force and attack her. As I rapidly untangle myself for the 'magic beanstalk' weed pulling, I swat my dog Maggie into the house and apologize profusely to our neighbor upon whom I do not even know her name. My anger and humiliation consume me as I finalize the weekend endeavor to transform our lovely front yard into a Good Home and Garden cover shot. Next it was into a shower, feeding children, transporting children, picking up children and then home to relax during the last bit of weekend. Where upon I catch a glimpse of our beloved pet and the 4" gash in her right thigh and a 1/2" puncture wound on her side. Her rapid escape caused her to swing a bit too close to the trimmed sago palm in the front and its residual bark was unforgiving. Babies are in bed, hunny is at Bible study and I know that Maggie needs some skilled attention. What do you do at 8:30pm on a Sunday night when you have a pet emergency? I now know. <br />
<br />
After arriving back home after 1:20am, Maggie recieved 12 stitches (slice was to the muscle), many a drugs, a nice shave job, nail clipping and cone of shame. <br />
<br />
Now just to recover, or so we thought.<br />
<br />
After two fulls weeks and reassurance that the wound was healing great I was at the vets bright and early to get the stitches out. "All is well," I futily said. Then I received a phone call from my hunny that the dog had somehow chewed over half of her scab back open while I was out for the day! I arrive back at the vet's office and wait till past closing to be worked back in. Eight staples are put in and another round of antibotics are given. <br />
<br />
<br />
6 days past and then Maggie is bored and pulls out almost all her stitches. I ponder the necessity of four legs on a dog. The vet graciously works us in again. Well since the wound has been open and exposed for some time we will have to do hydro-therapy. That term has a nice sound to it. Unfornately it means that I must shoot a firm steady stream of water directly onto the wound for 30 minutes twice a day. Apparently the dog is wanting for attention.<br />

I think we will have to repaint the entire house if we ever get her totally healed because she has hit every corner and wall in this house with her blades of plastic crown. I can hardly wait for the dog days of summer to roll around.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This entailed helping to shuttle back and forth to church and service projects as well as feed and provide somewhere to sleep. Well...we sometimes subscribe to the mentality that if a couple is good, that a few is better, and lots is the best. We had an additional 15 teenage girls in our home, my mother and our brod of 5, and my dear husband who had to earn some kind of 'well done'. We had the potential for neighborhood volume ordinance violations and my poor vacuum looked like it swallow a medium sized cat afterwards but it was a blast and we truly enjoyed it.<br />

Although I am <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">chronologically </span>still working on my 2nd child's book around age 3, I chant the "The Little Engine's" mantra everytime. I love the wonderful ideas that are exchanged and the sweet conversations and encouragement. One of 20+ I got done, as well as one I would like to attempt. Everyone was going digital so I guess I can add that to my continually growing list of things to try.Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133933260104082316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566275756644957172.post-22530520377710024042012-03-29T20:41:00.000-07:002012-03-29T20:41:14.790-07:00A good gift<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkSuWeb-2y3h16Y5_OO2bFp0HrV0FGQVZpuiZh5ou_fVakcZU-wNG_expXJZcuHVFKmd-Rqe_okyz9WD2LpAwSLbbrNSbrlcdtBKiQNGCTjLx3AwspuwYUzRJBmmZ5hTOIZJn4OzkE3o/s1600/IMG_0470.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbkSuWeb-2y3h16Y5_OO2bFp0HrV0FGQVZpuiZh5ou_fVakcZU-wNG_expXJZcuHVFKmd-Rqe_okyz9WD2LpAwSLbbrNSbrlcdtBKiQNGCTjLx3AwspuwYUzRJBmmZ5hTOIZJn4OzkE3o/s320/IMG_0470.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>This is a VERY delayed post but I am trying to catch and keep up. I was finally able to get a good surpise gift for my dear husband, Aggie playoff tickets. I thought I had it all wrapped up and done in secret till he started talking about buying some tickets a week and a half before Christmas. Somehow I got him distracted and he was pleasantly surprised. The game was exciting, there is something about live sporting events that makes it so much more enjoyable then watching on television. Aggies won and their marching band was amazing to see!Valhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133933260104082316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566275756644957172.post-8136531502342685972011-12-06T21:04:00.000-08:002011-12-06T21:04:48.129-08:00Christmas preparationsWell Christmas is fast approaching. I wish I was as prepared as these photos would lead one to believe. We spent the days after Thanksgiving getting the house decorated. The new tree is a bit big but beautiful. Not sure how my dear Terbear got her shoulder length hair wound and tangled in the curtain, but she is extremely gifted. <br />

A few weeks ago we went to a local gem, mineral and fossil show. The girls really enjoyed the mad scientist demonstration. The different scavenger hunts were educational and fun. She was fascinated with a jeweler that was turning marbles into extravagant looking jewelry. Ter was most intrigued by the fluorescent minerals. Lolo and I were awed at the couple who had a total kitchen table with food galore made entirely out of rocks and minerals. It was a sight. The beauty of all the creations in nature that we saw that day made us marvel at the creation He has made for us. <br />

They have a couple of days set aside during the week for schools to visit. It was a little tamer than I remember and I liked it. The girls loved watching the area theater groups do the performances. Lolo went all out in a jester costume (love that kid), girls rode several rides, including an elephant. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ariMbE0b7vzSBQoWoiOAR_IQIZB07MrAlotSaKjwZDYU3wzUM7yVSwmvBaeZKfPgTBvTg37jewKdj2h5j988OYHemLlyf59ZjBP3V4JthXqNwjEK_MCeWZgwbIATvhzwEO-yZryuWhw/s1600/IMG_0079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3ariMbE0b7vzSBQoWoiOAR_IQIZB07MrAlotSaKjwZDYU3wzUM7yVSwmvBaeZKfPgTBvTg37jewKdj2h5j988OYHemLlyf59ZjBP3V4JthXqNwjEK_MCeWZgwbIATvhzwEO-yZryuWhw/s320/IMG_0079.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

After a competitive toiletry drive to stock our church food pantry, our team came in first place. The reward...my husband wrapped completely in toilet paper. The baby cried hysterically thinking they were hurting her daddy. What a sport. I love that man.<br />
