A boy and his mud.

























A boy and his mud are not soon separated.


I love you.
Don't touch me.

Pay it Forward

While visiting Back to Basic Living recently, I took Penny up on an offer to participate in a bloggers Pay it Forward. In these difficult and somewhat scary times, I think Paying it Forward is a great way to possibly brighten someone’s day. So I agreed to participate. Penny sent me yummy smelling soap and lotion as well as a amazing home made brownie mix. No pictures available of the brownies I made from them... they were that good!



















So here’s the deal - the first five people to comment on this blog post and say you would like to participate in this Pay it Forward will receive a gift in the mail from me. I will send each of you a Starbucks gift card. If you’d like to participate, please do not email me. I will mail your gift within one week of your comment. Feel free to comment regardless - but if you do want to participate, please be sure to state that in your comment.

There is a small catch. You must have a blog and you must agree to Pay it Forward by offering a gift to five people on your blog, who will agree to do the same on their blogs. This is, after all, what paying it forward is all about.

Finally

I started this quilt last October. It is finally done! It is for Ella She is 7 months old.



























It is not to my original specs... nor is it completely quilted by hand. But it is the first quilt that I have done start to finish... no quilt pattern, no color suggestions, no nothin'! Featuring Bunny Luv Flannel Fabric by Maywood Studio. I fussy cut a bunny into each corner border.

Politics are stinky

The governor of Texas tried to make a statement by not accepting stimulus funds...

Since President Obama controls GM, the Arlington, TX plant has been temporarily shut down.

Maggie's Easter

























The little mother

Abbie's Easter





Sorry no video!

John learned how to turn on a flash light.

It is in his fist with the light pointing on the ground behind him.

He is spinning around with his head over his shoulder trying to get the light.

I am laughing hysterically!

Update: Amie is now taunting him with it... he is still chasing it!

Not Me Mondays!


Not Me Mondays! was started by McMamma. She is in the hospital with baby Stellan. So her blog readers are doing a special "Not Me Monday" that is all about Stellan.

I did not force my two oldest children out in to the freezing cold to take a picture for Stellans name gallery.

Prayers for Stellan

Give us this day our daily bread

I spend too much time figuring out where I am getting our physical bread and not enough time budgeting time for my spiritual bread.

I had about $25 total for our food.

Had I spent it in Westwood:
3 gallons of milk @ $4 each
2 loaves of Bread at $1.30 each
2 large boxes of cereal @ $3.50
3 lbs of apples @ $1/lb

But I went to Susanville and prayed on the way that I could get some cereal for $1.50, I literally prayed the whole way to Susanville.

For $23:
3 gallons of milk @ $2 each
8 loaves of bread @ 4/$1
4 boxes of cereal @ $2 each
12 lbs of apples @ 50 cents a pound

God provides.

Now if I only spent more time on my spiritual bread acquisition.
