I am so excited! Since we are planning to put the house back on the market, I have been wanting to better organize my scrapbooking as it is in our bedroom. I would have loved to have used our computer armoire but we still need it. Then I started looking to see if there was anything I could set on top of the drawing table I was using to put things behind close doors. Yesterday, I had to take

I haven't been very faithful blogging and posting pictures here. It seems easier to put them on Facebook. Anyway, we have had a few events in the last weeks. One was Puddin's 4th birthday. It fell on a Saturday so we had a birthday party complete with friends. We started the day with a breakfast of the cereals she picked out. She also received her gift of a cinderella dress as the party was a

Before the state conference, we spent some time at Dh's mother's house since she lives just across the bay from Tampa. The girls enjoyed going to the beach and park with her. It was nice to have a few days of relaxing.

We spent this past weekend in Tampa for the girls' FSCAR State Conference. Eldest served as Organizing Secretary this past weekend and the other girls were state chairman for various committees. They all had speeches to give so Mom had lots of opportunity to work on her speech writing skills. :-)They also served in various ways at the conference. Pumpkin and Cucumber were personal pages for

The girls found a butterfly and was able to catch it. They enjoyed looking at it and examining it.Eldestof5 is taking Apologia Biology this year and made it to the dissections. I let Daddy have the fun of helping her out. They did the earthworm and crayfish first. I worked out on the Wii Fit while they did the dissections. The younger girls enjoyed watching some also.

February 16th is the day the Lord blessed us with twins. Their birthday fell on President's day this year, just like 11 years ago when they were born. They started the day eating a breakfast of cereal - their pick of anything, Mom can't say no. They then opened their gifts. It is neat to see how creative the girls get with each other's gifts. We then headed out to spend some time at Parks at

We took advantage of the 3 day weekend and headed up to Georgia. Our reason for going was two fold - one was visiting a Civil War site since we are studying that time period now and the second was to do something enjoyable for the twins 11th birthday which fell on President's Day this year. Mike's uncle and aunt who live outside of Albany opened up their home to us which was a blessing. They

So I watched the special interviewing the CA Octuplet mom tonight. Really we should say, the mom of 6 plus octuplets. I am very conflicted over this situation. On one hand, I agree with her that life begins at conception and that we are not the ones to decide which life(s) should end in the womb. Children are a blessing from the Lord! No doubt on that one. However, we then have to look at

My birthday falls shortly after the holidays so it can sometimes be a little crazy for my family. Monday morning found my family showering me with gifts. I received an FSU necklace, 2 new Bibles from my hubby although I have to return one of them because the print was just waay to small for these older eyes. Longlegged girl drew me a picture of a coffee cup as I am changing the theme in my

The twins had asked for pierced ears for Christmas. We gave them earrings for Christmas with a promise to take them to get their ears pierced. I had learned that Walmart does ear piercings so we headed up there on the 3rd. Pumpkin went first and was a little apprehensive. She did well though and ended up with some beautiful white earrings.Cucumber went next and was very excited. It hurt a

We spent New Year's at home and had my mom and brother over. We enjoyed some mexican finger foods and then played some cards. Everyone made it up until midnight, even Puddin. Welcome 2009!!

The girls have begun a tradition of doing a play for us on Christmas Eve. I didn't get pictures that actual morning since I was a little out of it from the Nyquil I had taken the night before. The girls redid the play for their grandmother who came up for a visit after Christmas so I was able to get some pictures then.Eldest was a tv reporter in Jerusalem the night Christ was born.

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" Luke 2:14Well, we started our celebrations last night at my FIL's house. This was after I made a last minute trip to Costco for some gifts and then spent the rest of the afternoon finishing grandparent gifts and wrapping them. Actually, the girls started the day out by waking us up around 7:30 a.m. to do

We surprised Eldest with a jewelry box for her birthday. We hadn't planned to get her one due to finances but I found one on sale at Kohl's while I had a percent off coupon and it had the bonus of a mirror on the front! She was very surprised but had trouble figuring out if it was a jewelry box or just a mirror. She was thrilled when she found out it was both!This is the cake I made for her.

No, it is not me that age, you would have to flip the numbers around to get to my next age. Actually, Eldest turned 14 today. It was a fairly quiet celebration being on a Sunday. Pictures to follow! Happy birthday sweetheart!

Wow! I had many events that I took pictures of in a week time so I just decided to put the majority of them in one post. We started with Thanksgiving. We visited with Mike's Dad and family here in town. We enjoyed some delicious food complete with turkey, corn casserole, broccoli casserole, potatoes and much more.After dinner, we enjoyed sitting around chatting while the little ones found the

Actually, we should be thankful every day and in every situation if we claim the name of Christ."Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV)But today we take specific time to focus on the things we are thankful for and when we stop and think about it, we have much to be thankful

We participated in the Jacksonville Veteran's Day parade this last Tuesday with our local society of C.A.R. The girls really enjoy wearing their colonial dresses and carrying the banners and flags. Puddin and I rode on the trailer this year. I walked it last year and trust me, my feet were hurting!!It was quite a long parade this year and thankfully, we were at the front since we represent the

I spent a few hours tonight cutting hair and it wasn't my own which is in need of a haircut soon. I started with Puddin. I mainly just got rid of the ends which were getting scraggly. Daddy doesn't want her hair cut until she is 5. Next was Pumpkin. She made the decision, on her own, to cut her hair as short as Cucumber's. She wanted them to look more alike but she doesn't want bangs.

We don't celebrate halloween. We made that decision before our children were born so they have never gone out trick or treating although they have attended Fall Festivals once or twice. We always try to not be home on the evening of 31st so we go to friends' houses who don't live in busy neighborhoods or other events. One time we attended a local fair type event and were interviewed about why we

Puddin is growing up way too fast. When I tell her sisters to get started on school, she says she is going to get her school out also. I decided to needed to get busy finding some things for her to do. I found a wonderful site on line to make lapbooks, even for her age. She enjoys having the Poky Little Puppy read to her so I chose that as the first book. We learned some new words, counted
