Winter in Our Backyard


It's cold, and wet, and we have only had about 2 feet of snow this winter...but it is still beautiful at our house :)


I know it sounds crazy, but I'm praying for snow at my house in February!

The snow is so pretty, and the rain only makes MUD...at my house, with all of the boys, and animals...it is truly yucky!

Snow....Snow....Snow....Snow....Snow!

(: Please :)

~Life Lessons~


Ok, so far 2010 has given us some great lessons that I must share! Some of you have already heard about our incidents...but some of you have not :)


Don't put pins in your mouth while sewing...although I am now betting that the chances of my swallowing more than one in my lifetime have better odds than my not continuing the lifelong habit...I did learn that if you do it, there is a consequence...a large hospital bill, even after insurance, and a bit of recovery time.

Don't pour gas into a carburetor of a running truck...again, a lesson I'm sure we should already know :) but...sometimes the truck backfires in the carburetor and your hand gets burnt...ouch is an understatement!

HDTV...as nice as it is, it changes the "reality" of TV...all of the actors and actresses look really allot older in hi-def...which in turn makes me feel older...and football is a whole new sport when you can see the dimples on the football :)

Do spend time with your family and children...we have been playing games in the evenings...like Yatzee and Sorry, and we all have enjoyed our time as a family...and the kids are faster at adding the dice than I am :)

~Enjoy your life...you only get one, make it the best you can with the time you have :)
