For Me

Just because it’s beautiful.

I Got Mine!

My copy of the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook arrived today!

I’ve skimmed it, and read a couple stories.  I can’t wait to have more time to really go throut it and read it!

Spirit Week – Hall Decorations

The hall decoration theme for Spirit Week was board games.  The staff wan’t assigned a game (we think the students knew we would win and were running scared), so we chose to decorate using Chutes & Ladders.  Mr. Bense and Mr. Matz our administrators made the ladders, slides, and squares.  I used a few digital images [...]

New Eyes

In our house, Fall brings many routine events – new school clothes, school supplies, immunizations (if needed), and visits to the eye doctor.  Last year when we went, Reagan’s eyesight was diminished, but not enough to require glasses.  She had a complete meltdown in the eye doctor’s office.  Complete meltdown.  This year; however, was a [...]

Happy Anniversary, Husband!

Our Girls – Surprise, Surprise!

**Special thanks to Westwinds Nursery – they let me use their grounds for these pictures.
Since we have the deadline of our open house next week, I am FINALLY forcing myself to replace the pictures of our girls in the entryway.  Right now, the picture of Emma is from when she was eleven and Harley and Katelyn’s are [...]

There’s a Terrorist Cell

in my family . . .
Sure, they look sweet and innocent enough, but let me tell you, behind those sweet smiles, chubby cheeks, and innocent giggles are the well oiled workings of a full-blown terrorist cell better known as the “Baby Boo-Yahs”.  These three operatives have learned to terrorize, manipulate, torture, and tease the five members [...]
