Busy Life!

On Monday we went and signed up Jorge to play Pee Wee baseball!!!! (or as he used to say..."I want to play pooeee baseball...LOL) I am excited! I love to watch little kids play. We used to go watch a neighbourhood kid play...it was great fun. But we'll have to basically kiss about 12 weekends goodbye, or maybe more. He doesn't start till April though, so we have a little bit of life till then. We had to take him two days later to buy his cleats, as he just couldn't wait! ;) I think it will be good for him in other ways too. Teamwork, learning to take orders from other adults, and finding out that their are other kids that just might be better than him, and being friends to those who aren't very cool too. We've already had a lesson in that...LOL I think it will be a great family time.

Thanks girls....and Thank you Lord!

We spent the day at the church building today, tracing stencils, and painting letters, getting a big sign ready to put out the front soon. It was a lot of fun....

When I got up and ready for the church meeting this morning, and looked around and saw the mess the house was in....I was soooo dreading the fact that I would have to come home later, and clean....instead I walked in to a lovely, tidy house with floors mopped....it was so nice!!!!

There are days where I look around, and just say "Lord I need some help, this just ain't working!!! I can't keep it clean, and I'm doing a lousy job of training my kids to be tidy too....HELP!" And He sent me help....in the form of three, actually four (including Jekkie!) girls who chose to surprise me while I was busy doing other stuff. It was really such a blessing! I had a slight clue as when I went to check on something, Iddy Biddy wouldn't let me in the door....and I wisely decided not to interrupt ;)

So thank you girls! And Thank you Lord for hearing my plea for help! And please help me to grow a 'tidy' gene so that I can keep it this way.... :)

The Best Place to Shop Online....

I have been greatly blessed through a website for a while now, and have decided that I need to give them the publicity that they deserve. This is the absolute best place to shop for educational supplies and Christian Books etc. Especially if you like a bargain! You do have to have fit into certain categories, BUT they include homeschoolers and pastors, churches, resellers etc.

The only catch is that you really need to live in the States, as you need to pay with a check/cheque....(can be done online, though)

so here they are...

LIBRARY AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

You simply go and set up an account, selecting your wholesale category, and start shopping!

I would very highly recommend the Focus on the Family Radio Theater CD's. They are awesome. We have The Hiding Place, The Cost of Freedom (Dietrich Bonhoeffer), Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, Ben Hur, The Secret Garden....and they have many more. They are very well done, and keep all ages listening.

They have an awesome selection of educational books, and DVDs (ie: Moody Science, History Channel etc.)

And the best part is the prices...they have regular email newsletter sales (make sure you sign up for it!) that have great deals.

Anyway, for all of you folks who can use them....Please do! They are a clean and wholesome place, and promote Christian values.

Oh, and they also have very reasonable shipping rates!

So head over and take a look!

LIBRARY AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

One more thing....

I am now on facebook! I recommend you do too....(Mum, Mel...) I am putting more pictures up there because I can make it to where only my 'friends' can see them. I like being able to do that...and it's also much easier to say "hi" on.

Oh, and the ads are nowhere near as bad as Myspace....but don't fall for any of their 'free-trial' ads...they are scams! (ie...by starting the free trial, you are agreeing to buy the product once a month etc. etc. etc....fine print..........and they are very hard to cancel....don't ask me how I know!)

So, sign up and be my 'friend' LOL

New background....

How do you like it...it's called "Spurs n' Spit"....LOL How western can you get.... ;)


Oh, and if anyone is looking for a facelift....I get mine (and they are super easy) from here. Just click on "backgrounds" on the left, check them all out and follow their directions!

I told you they were cuter in Texas....!

Especially for my sister Kristy...

I told you they were cuter in Texas!!!!



We've got John Deere....(for the tough little monkeys)
We've got pink camo....(for the girly girls...)
We've got blue/brown (for those who are NOT girly girls....the very thought!)
We've got regular cowboy boots for the young men...Oh.....and we've got snake boots for those who like to hunt!

Sorry so long!

Hello! Sorry for the great silence here! We have been crazy busy, and when I haven't been crazy busy, I guess I've enjoyed the lazy moments. :) Tim has gone home and I'll try to get some pictures up soon! Kids have been sick, one at a time, although at this very moment they are all OK! Hope they stay healthy for a while. You may notice my new profile picture....yes I got a spiral perm, and yes she took a lot off! LOL It's the shortest I've had in a long time. It wasn't supposed to be that short, but when I realised how much she was taking off....there wasn't much point in saying anything!
