3 Birthdays for my 3 girlies :O)

Three of my girls have birthdays crammed together; Mary first, then Abby, and finally Ellie. Ruth has her birthday right after Christmas so I guess you can say she has no brothers in between her and her sisters! Mary's is September 22nd and she turned 6 this year. Abigail turned 4 on the 4th of October. And my oldest Ellie turned 17 on the 10th of October!! I can't believe she is almost 18. Wow, time has a way of going by way to fast.

Let me start with a Mary update. The many things she loves are; cart wheels, hand stands, playing with friends, going to church, jumping on the trampoline, holding kittens,eating CANDY, shopping for clothes, and mostly going on dates with mom. :O)







Now my Abby loves: playing with her best Friends next door (Macey and Addyson), playing outside, riding her new bike, going to church, going to co-op, watching Bernstein Bears and Little Bill, being unbuckled and sitting in a big seat belt, and most of all being with her mama :O)





Ellie loves: HORSES... that is all, I don't have any more things to add. :O) Well, that is mostly true. But she also loves; driving with her permit, being with good friends, going to Church, playing the guitar, her dog Daisy, and being with her MOM :O) (Notice all my girls love me so much?? LOL)







I just realized after looking through all my pictures, I have much more to blog about. So stay tuned!!

Has it really been that long???

I am feeling a bit bad for not blogging in FOREVER! Really , so much has gone on in the past few months. Our yard is turning green!! You heard right, our yard is no longer rocks and rocks but now almost complete. And I am so thankful for this Indian summer we are having. It is almost October and going to be 90 degrees out today!!! WOW....



Mary just turned 6 on the 22nd. Let me tell you what she told me.... "So tomorrow is my real birthday right"? I said, "WHAT"? I could not believe she said that to me. We had songs, cake, presents, and dinner out with mom and dad. I do not understand why she would not think that it's really her real birthday. LOL Silly girl!



Abby is turning 4 on October 4th. She is still my tiny little monkey baby. I can't believe just how tiny she is. One of my kids asked me the other day if she will always be super little?? Maybe.... But I do remember Chad being this way when he was a toddler. I thought he would never ever grow. And now, he is getting so tall and big, and tweenagerish. If that is even a word. All moms of 12 year olds I do believe know what tweenagerish means :O)



Today I have my first day of Bible study! Let me tell you I have not gone to a Bible study in YEARS. I thank God that He has put certain friends in my life to encourage me to go. I know that this will be something that will strengthen me in my walk. I really look forward to what the Lord will have in store for me.



I have now gone a complete week without eating any processed sugar. It has helped my complexion so much! I am just waiting for my extra weight to leave. I mean those zits must have weighed in at a pound each... I am sure of, right?? LOL If sugar causes acne, then I surly do not need it! I am slowly and slowly aiming for NO processed stuff. I am starting with sugar this month. Maybe flour next? Go straight to wheat? I do not know. But I do know that I already feel better.



Well, I better depart from this blog for now. And hopefully it won't be a few months till you hear from me again. God bless you all....

I am back!

Finally found myself out of a pile of rocks. We have been very busy getting rock, which turned in to boulders OUT of your yard. Trying to save $$$ and by not having to get topsoil is hard work. We have great soil, but after having removed so so so many rocks we have to fill the gaps some how.... I think we will end up getting top soil anyway. Oh, how I wish we were done with this summer fling. I do not like it... and I think I am becoming allergic to dirt. That is why I am in here blogging all the while my dearest hard working husband is outside cleaning out trenches. :O) Thanks HUNNY!

Not much new to report other than kids get along, then fight all day long. Play all day long in the sun and come home super tan and dirty. :O) Every few days we go to our community pool along with all the other mommies and their kids. I am constantly dealing with my disorderly DOG (she never got better in case you were wondering). And YES... we still have a few frogs, but not so many. :O) TA TA for now!!

BAD dog, BAD!

I have not posted to my blog in over a week.... I think. I have lost track of all time because it's been corrupted by a BAD DOG. We have a 12 year old Brittany Spaniel that has been DUMB from day one. I know, I know... she can't help it because I was told that when she was born she was deprived of oxygen. Let it be her excuse, but excuse me for saying ... .she is still BAD. Here is her list of bad doings: She has pooped upstairs multiple times. My daughters have found her UP on the Kitchen table. One day she got up on the table, and ate an entire BRAND NEW pack of gum (that is after she dug through my purse to find it). Confession #1... I told her I hope that she choked and died. Constantly she is sneaking food off of my kids plates. The other day I came home only to find her frothing at the mouth (appeared to be anyway) but then I noticed that she was eating pancake mix, you know that dry kind in a bag. It was caked to her fur which looked like froth. Confession #2.... I hoped she would have died from overdose of pancake mix. And now I am brought to confession #3 I keep wondering if she will get to die soon??? I know that is awful... but I can't help myself. She is just such a BAD dog! EEEK!
