Quotable Quote


" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

It's Not As Bad As It Seems!




Don't think that I am an online shopaholic (maybe partial), but I just like to find deals that are cheap for off season clothes and stuff. I just wanted to share some of the cute stuff I bought. The boy clothes are my FAV just because I am not used to buying little boy stuff, and I have always loved little boy clothes. These pics don't do justice. The little ties are SO cute (only $2.99 from Childrens Place)! I love them! I bought cute cardigans, pj's etc... for G & A, but I didn't want to bore you too much!

Veggie Hats



Have you ever seen anything so unique? I found these online. I can't remember the site so if you really want one comment to me and I will look it up again. She makes all kinds of hats. These are the apple and tomato hats. She does pears, garlic cloves, raspberries, pumpkins, strawberries (way cute), etc.... I want to buy some for my kids. Every time I show Ryan something cute he's all "You're not buying it are you?" Guilt trip or what? LOL! They are $15.00 which really isn't bad considering the time they take and how cool they are. I don't know maybe I am easily impressed, but I think they are adorable.

Wyoming 2005

I decided to scrapblog a trip that we took THREE YEARS AGO! Yea, it's that bad! I had to add that hair to Gracie on the last page. I thought her smile warranted some wacky hair.


Lemon Fruit Dip

This is my last ditch attempt to keep up with posting one recipe a week. I try to do it every Tue., but I was still in rehab on Tue. so I will do it today. It is small cause I need to run to Walmart before the after school rush!

Ingredients:
1 cup cold milk
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
assorted fresh fruit (we used strawberries and mango)

Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Whisk in sour cream. Chill until serving. Serve with fruit.

Mr. Pig

Gracie planted grass in this pig cup at preschool. It only took a few days to sprout, which is a good thing for young, impatient children. We have already had to give him a "haircut" cause it was so long it was flopping all over the place. I think this is a CUTE project idea for kids. I have seen the animal cups at Walmart.

7a.m and I'M BACK!!!


I survived my week long torture fest! Which actually wasn't too bad because I have another project I am working on (which I will post about shortly). I'm sure you're incredibly surprised that my first post is about Breck...lol! The top pics are him eating his first food...rice cereal. He is not impressed. The video is him eating bananas yesterday. I probably sound stupid on it, but that's typical! Enjoy.

I'm Heading To Rehab :-(

Ryan is convinced that I am addicted to blogging. I decided to prove him wrong (typical behavior on my part) so I am heading to Blogaholics Anonymous, which will be a one week course. It will basically consist of me not blogging for ONE week and instead hitting my homework harder, all the while exhibiting the telltale symptoms of withdrawal: sweating, night tremors, hallucinating etc.... If I make it through I will be back next Thursday! Wish me luck!

By The Way....

Per load, those haul trucks make roughly $40,000. With all the copper, moly, gold etc...that they sift out of it!!! They each do about 20-30 loads per shift. ONE tire costs roughly 6-7,ooo! It looks like they could afford to give Ryan a raise!!! :-) In less, of course, too many people are blowing out tires! LOL

Can You Imagine?!

I got some mail from Ryan's work. It had this picture on it. Ryan always used to tell Bobbie (before she started school) to go drive a haul truck!! Can you imagine! Look at the little guy by the tire. No wonder every time he tells Spencer to put in his app. to drive a haul truck Spencer says he's not sure if he could drive it! There are woman that drive them though, but can you imagine. I would die laughing if I saw Bobbie up there driving this thing. I'm glad Ryan is inside now, and not sharing the same road with these things when he is up there.
