My new baby girl.

M’Kayla wants a sister.
She keeps telling me this.
Or at least she used to.
You might remember that I went to the women of faith conference recently.
Well, there was a point in the program where they began to talk about an organization called World Vision.
Now, most of the time I just kind of tune these things out.
But [...]

And they tease me….

because I went to school in “okie-homa”
Wow…I can at least spell…
This poor soul can’t even spell “brood”.
Just have to chuckle at the spelling on craigslist.
And just because I’m feeling ornery today….
Don’t park like a jerk…you might end up here: Idiots who can’t park
Have a fantastic day everyone!  I’ll be back when I have something profound [...]

Papa’s Birthday.

Happy Birthday Papa!!!
We just love him so much, and I am so very glad that the kids have him in their lives. they just love him.

And just because it was a beautiful day today, and because she is so cute…some pics of M’Kayla:

I’m not ready.

I mean, she’s only eight.
Do girls really start asking “questions” at this age?
It’s the t.v.’s fault is what it is.
And my stupid fault too.
Last night, we were watching a program and a couple was kissing.
(not french kissing…church kissing…name that movie!)
And M’Kayla says: “ewww!!! Now their gonna have BABIES!!! Ewwww!”
To which, stupid me…before I could stop [...]

Now that is just mean.

Yes, I know..two posts in one day.
tough.
Keep reading.
I should have known better.  but I went to that camera site anyway.
I wanted to see if they are having any sales.
My camera purchase money is looming oh-so-close and I want to be prepared.
So I went to see.
And yes, they are having a sale…a KILLER sale.
On the camera [...]

Can I get her in pocket size?

This is my new best friend, Patsy Clairmont.

Huh?  What?
No..she doesn’t know that she is my new best friend..but let’s not get hung up on the details mmmkay?
She is one of the speakers at the Women of Faith conference.
And she is adorable.
Of all of the speakers, she spoke the loudest to me.
Maybe to everyone…she is [...]

Women of Faith. Infinate Grace.

I mentioned in my last post, (or maybe the one before) that I was going to the “women of faith” conference.
Well, I am back now.
And nearly back on earth.
See, I have been floating since the first note of the first song on the first day.
It.
Was.
AMAZING.
I simply cannot convey how much fun I had.
How much I [...]

Exhilarated

That is how I feel lately.
The weather has been fantastic…for the past two days at least.
(crossing fingers that it doesn’t get too bad this weekend)
And I have been outside..moving.
I never realized just how sedentary we get here in this family when the snow flies.
But I’m not taking up snowboarding any time soon, so I [...]

My Pocket change biography.

I’m avoiding the dishes.
Like you didn’t know that…I know you are all smart enough to see that this is my second post in one day.
Y’all are smart like that.
So, I’m avoiding the mountain of dishes that need washing and the enormous pile of clothes (clean ones) that need put away.
(we won’t discuss the dirty ones.)
And [...]

We interrupt this program to bring you an important message:

There has been a kink in the space-time continuum.
The universe is out of alignment.
Our planet has been thrown off of it’s axis.
That is the only explanation I can come up with for why it is SNOWING in APRIL.
Two days ago it climbed into the high 70’s.
Yesterday it was rainy and cold.
Today it is snowing.
seriously.
Snowing.
Now I [...]
