Outside my Window...the sun is shining


What We're Learning... we are taking a week off from preschool because of the long weekend. I need some time to catch up on housework and school prep.

I am thankful for... a good report from the knee surgeon. We are going to try physical therapy instead of surgery for now.


From the kitchen... we are having breakfast for supper. Biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, and hash browns.


I am wearing... grey running shorts, a green t-shirt, and tennis shoes


I am reading...The Help


I am praying... that my children will regain their full health soon. We have been dealing with colds all weekend.


I am creating... a simple preschool curriculum for Olivia. Since she will not be 3 till this fall I’m just putting some stuff I have found online together for her to use.


I am hearing... the kids watch Tom and Jerry in the living room.


I am remembering... the special time we spent with family this weekend.


I am going... to relax and watch a movie with my hubby this evening after the kids are in bed.

On my mind... a new Bible study to work through…


Noticing that... the afternoon is flying by and Eric will be home soon!!


One of my favorite things... peach cobbler and homemade vanilla ice cream…YUMMY!!


A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... lots of cleaning and laundry to catch up on…

Outside my Window...it is finally raining after a month of no rain…


What We're Learning... the letter B. Bugs are our theme this week so we have been coloring, tracing, and reading library books all about bugs and the letter B

I am thankful for... a little reprieve from the 100 degree heat wave we have been having…it is only 70 degrees right now. I'm also thankful for time to just be quiet *read below*


From the kitchen... we are going out for lunch. Tonight we’ll be having roast, new potatoes, carrots, fried squash, and green beans


I am wearing...khaki Bermuda shorts, brown and turquoise top, and brown flip flops


I am reading... The Thorn by Beverly Lewis and Choosing to See by Mary Beth Chapman


I am praying... for little Noah as he continues to cut his back molars. He seems to be having a lot of pain and is very fussy.


I am creating... a new cleaning routine with this resource.


I am hearing... Olivia and Noah playing “house” together J


I am remembering... the messages I listened to yesterday…


I am going... to meet my husband for lunch today.

On my mind... a sweet friend…


Noticing that... my floors really need mopped today.


One of my favorite things... baking cookies with Olivia.


A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week... I have an appointment with a knee surgeon tomorrow, library on Thursday, grocery store on Friday, then we will be enjoying a 3 day weekend with Eric!!!

*I'm back and trying to keep it simple here in my little blogging world. I love this little blog but it was time for a break to just let life be silent and enjoy my family. I'm looking forward to blogging again and I have quite a few pictures to share!! :-)

Vacation, Popsicles, and Summer Time

I just wanted to stop in a do a little picture updating. We took a vacation with my extended family the first weekend in May and the we all had a blast. The kids loved Silver Dollar City and Eric and I enjoyed riding a few rides too. It was fun and we always enjoy getting to spend time with family!!

Noah wasn't so sure about the jailhouse :-)

We've also enjoyed lots of warm weather recently so we decided it was time to pull out the kiddy pool for the summer!!

Popsicles are a new favorite at our house.

I love this picture!

Olivia found the "hidden" markers recently. You should have seen her arms and legs.

She is styling in her new shades and 80's hair-do :-)

Summer time here we come!!

Just a test

This is just a test post to see how well I can post from my mobile. I got a new phone today after Noah decided to take my blackberry for a swim last night :-(.

We are enjoying some unusually cool temps right now and most of our time has been spent outdoors this week!

Hope you are all having a lovely week so far!

Easter 2011

Since I'm a little behind here on the blog I will most likely be posting lots of pictures and just a few word over the next few days.

We enjoyed a lovely Easter weekend with both my family and Eric's family. We celebrated by grilling out with my family Friday evening then had a huge dinner after church on Sunday with Eric's whole family.  The kids LOVED hunting eggs and waking up to their Easter baskets on Sunday morning!!

Beautiful Sunshine!!

Even though I have a love/hate relationship with spring, (I like the warm up just not the stormy weather that comes with it) days like this one make me happy!!

Not a lot to say today but I thought a few pictures for my family and readers would be nice.

Happy Weekend Everyone!!

It's my birthday and I'll blog if I want to...

So as you can tell I have been absent from this little blog for awhile. My life with two toddlers is my only excuse and it's a darn good one too! :-) Today is my birthday and even though my house needs a little TLC right now, I shall blog instead. Because it's my birthday and I'll...ok you get the picture.

Most of the pictures are from last week when we were enjoying warm temps and sunshine. This week has been cold and rainy and I thought I would reminisce over the good ole days. :-) My kids love Playdoh and I love that the weather is finally warm enough to take it outside. It's so messy and I'm just thankful that we don't have carpet in this house. I love my wood and tile floors!

We bought a Wii recently and the kids have a blast "pretending" to play with daddy. I'm just glad they aren't old enough to know that it is all pretend.

This face seems to be her new camera "smile." I was scrolling through my photos today and she has this look in almost ever picture. Must work on that soon...

This little dude is still battling allergies and runny nose. I'm afraid he is going to be allergy prone like his mommy.

THE FACE!! :-)

Last night my parents threw me and my youngest brother a birthday party and today I am enjoying a lovely day filled with cards, little surprise presents and a yummy lunch with friends!

 Birthdays are the best!!

Be back soon...
