There is some snow and ice still on the ground, but I can smell spring, or maybe it's just the 50 degree temps:) The kiddos and us grown ups have been outside for the past few days enjoying the sunny weather.

This weekend was very productive, we butchered(we, meaning my hubby) 2 of our roosters and helped out at our friends farm, trimming goat hooves, castrating the boy, and giving shots. It was quite a weekend. I am looking forward to more on-hands-learning. It really is the best way to learn, and the easiest way for me to learn. There is so much to learn that you can't learn out of book. Thanks Dalyn!!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

The day started with some cinnamon rolls and a kiss for brother from all the girls in the house. Nothing like waking up to girls over your bed with big ole kisses comin at you. His response..."you'll pay for that" Some how I don't think he will be reciprocating in the same way:) Later on there will be an early dinner and a movie for the kiddos, so Daddy and I can have a nice and quiet dinner.

When Not to Give your 2 1/2 yr old child milk

1. When you have to wake her at 9:05am...

2. When she wakes up and asks for water, and you say "I have milk do you want that instead?"...

3. When she says "Ummm, OK"...(Shoulda clued in here, she loves milk)

4. After having her milk she says "Can I have water now?" (again, shoulda took the clue...)

5. When after her sister throws up in the bathroom near her she says "Mommy, I sick, I throw up"...and Mommy says "No, you're not sick, sissy is sick"

6. For breakfast she asks for toast...and then proceeds to decorate the table with the milk she drank 15 minutes before:((((( DUH!!!

These are one of those live and learn moments, and not one I want to repeat! yes the stomach flu has hit our home, thankfully it doesn't last long. 3 out of the 4 kids have had it and Hubby and I have been spared, so far.

Looking Ahead

With February almost half over already I am excitingly looking toward spring, and this is how I see it:

Don't pass out:)

O.K. people, take a breath and enjoy this pic, take it all in, cause you may never again see this cute hubby of mine reading a book. You see he likes to read, just not books.He reads pamphlets, magazines, and repair manuals. I think this is only the second book I have ever seen him attempting to read. He seems to be enjoying himself I wonder what he is reading...

Delta Force...
it figures:)

New Year/ New Room

Right before the New Year approached, Hubby and I decided that the room with all the "Junk" needed some redo. So here you go...

It started off with an ugly shade of pink and old track lighting.

With some paint and track lighting it already looks like a new room.
The cabinetry for sewing and crafts and a place for the laptop.
A tall cabinet for yarn and fabric

And even a corner for the kiddos to play.

I have been under the weather for the last few days, but am on the upswing of getting better. Hubby is expecting great things out of me now that the room is done...better get to work!

Merry Christmas!

From Our Family to Yours

Christmas Choir

Well it's that time again, unfortanately my camara (or is it just me:) didn't take that good of pictures. I didn't realize until the end that I should of had my flash off...so here you go. All three girls sang in the Christmas special this year. And it was Jordan's first having a trio part, although, I think it was actually a duet...Not sure how it all worked, but she had fun and no nerves to be had:) Unlike her mother who didn't breathe the whole time.
