Simple Things Sunday~February 27

We recently move into a new house on the farm. In our old house, in town, when you looked out the window, you seen a lovely pink house sadly in need of a paint job, a nice blue house, and another old house, run down, no one lived in, but old vehicle sat in the driveway, it was not a nice site.

Now since moving out to the farm, I am in love with my view, I have taken so many pictures of sunset or sunrises in the few short month we have lived here already.

I was transferring my pictures from my computer to my External Hard Drive yesterday and came across this one from boxing day, and just remembered That I love it out here so much!!

Happy Sunday

Embrace the Camera~Feb 24

I had someone taking picture of me while I was making supper the other night, usually I would jusst delete these pictures and forget about it, but I figured what the heck.













Happy Thursday, I am off on a little mini holiday with my kids!!

They grow too fast!

I changed a few things are here, figured since Valentines Day was over, the red should go, tired to make it more springy. Things here are starting to pick up, had our first baby calf on Monday, (only about 140ish to go)

Seems like not that long ago I bought this for Josh, and the sleeves had to be rolled up to fit,now the sleeves are above his wrists, and the bottom is above his knees. He has been growing lots in the last month, seems like every morning, his pants are are getting shorter.




He is now is his big brothers, Which is too small for Cody too, but that is another whole story, This one should last a bit as the sleeves have to be rolled up for the hands to peek out.




Happy Wednesday!

Project Life Tuesday Week 6

remember this post, this is how much her teeth have moved in just 3 weeks, they are touching, something we never thought would happen, (without facial re-construction surgery that the orthodontist mention to us) and NO in the first before picture, she is not holding her teeth apart, that was how much space she had naturally.



Like I mentioned before the deer have been visiting our yard this winter, I counted 20 of them walk by the front window on this Sunday night




Since moving into the new house, a few things have changed, I no longer have a gas stove, but a fancy new flat top electric one. (I guess I have done this a million time with the old stove, but never had to worry about it) While making supper, I lift the lid to check the potatoes, and it drips on the stove top, I think nothing of this, I will clean it after supper when I clean the rest of the stove. Later when the chicken is cooked I remove the pan from the hot oven, place it on the stove top, apparently, in the water, and before I can even get the door to the oven closed, the pan has made 2 loud snapping sounds, and this is the result. Good thing the family was all about an hour away still and I had time to make a second batch of chicken.





Love these brown eyes!!! While sitting waiting for Steph to finish her dance class, Josh and I were playing with the camera in the van. Did I mention I LOVE THESE BROWN EYES!!





I am almost caught up!!
Happy Tuesday, again

Project Life Tuesday Week 5

I now have a 15 year old, and she has gotten her learners license. She is a good little driver, very cautious, not brave enough to drive the speed limit yet, but I am sure that will come.



It is that time of year, time to sell last springs baby calves.



This is my Cody, like his shirt says "I am not trying to be difficult, it just comes naturally" Which is the most accurate description of Cody, love him to pieces, but some days....





A regular nightly occurrence at our house, the deer come right up the road in front of the house, and through the field behind the house, they have been eating in our bales.



Happy Tuesday!

Simple Things Sunday 2

This week I didnt take the picture, it came to me through an email. This is a picture of my mom and sister. My mom and dad have been down in Arizona since November, this is the first year they have made such a trip, and been gone so long. Mom is emailing pictures and I can't get over how good both her and dad look, the south must really agree with them.

Happy Sunday

Embrace the Camera

While looking at Rebecca's Simple as That, I found the Embrace the camera challenge.

It is a challenge to get you in the pictures as well, not just taking them. Last week while Josh & I were waiting to pick Steph up from her dance class, we were bored and he was playing int he van, so I pulled out the point & shoot I carry with me, and took a few pictures. I know it isnt the greatest picture, like I said it was with a P&S.





Happy Thursday

Project Life Tuesday Week 4

This week we started it off with a visit to the orthodontist, he decided he would put elastics from Steph's top jaw to her bottom, to close the gap up, I feel so bad for her, she is only allowed to take them off to eat and brush her teeth.



One morning while I was sitting drinking my coffee at the island int he kitchen, the view out my living room window was amazing, the sun was shining on the barn, and just making it glow, with the dark clouds that were behind it. It only lasted about 10 minutes, and then the clouds were over head and it was snowing huge snow flakes, to the point where you almost couldn't see the barn




Josh was trying to hide from having his picture taken, too cute




Happy 15th Birthday to my beautiful daughter, wow I can't believe it has been 15 years already!!





The girls thought they would eat their ice cream cake without their hands!!

Project Life week 3

The week started with dad and Steph, getting all of the spreadsheets ready for dad in calving time.




25 doors in the new house, that needed to be painted, way to many to do all at once, so I have been taking 2 at a time and painting them, then end is near.




I spent many night this week working on the old dresser I got from my grandma.




Friday night was Stephanies birthday party ( more pictures to follow in week 4) When you child is older than the 12 candles that come in the box, you gwt to get creative with candles, I thought it looked pretty good.




When I ma not at home with my family this is what I do, well sort of. I am the librarian in town, perfect job for someone who loves to read!




The new way to pass time on the new house, play pool.





Mom made meatballs and boiled the sauce over in the oven and got to try out the self clean option on the new stove. Cody was helping mom.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day, I love my husband, I Love my children, I love all of my family, far & near. I love my new house, (and all of the neat decorating I can do)

Spent the day yesterday baking heart shaped sugar cookie, and heart shaped Rice Krispie treats (used the red and green Christmas ones, but picked all of the green ones out, thought about saving them for St. Patricks.....hmmmmmm) for the kids to take to school.

Notice even the sunrise this morning was happy and pink,

Happy Monday,

Simple Things Sunday

Good Morning, I found another weekly challenge that interested me. Rebecca Cooper does this every Sunday. She just wants you to post a pictures that you took during the week, just the Simple Things that make you smile.



This last week, Josh's class had gone on a ski trip, when they were back I picked him up, but we had to wait for his sister to finish dance class before we could head home. We were sitting waiting int he van, I turned around and those big brown eyes were looking at me.

Sorry it is a poor picture, it is taken with my Point & Shoot that I carry in my purse.

Happy Sunday

Joy of Love Day 3

Joy Of Love Day 3. Then & Now

10 years ago this year we got married, wow some days it seems like it has been forever, some days it seems it can't possible have been 10 years. My hair has gotten longer, his hair has gotten thinner. I think we both have put on weight. Life has been pretty good, we are now living on the farm in our dream house, and loving our lives, our children & still very much in love with each other!!

Again, Happy Thursday

Joy of Love Day 2. Not 100% sure, but I think it is who we love?? I dont get to take many pictures of Darc, he is very disagreeable when the camera comes out. These are my 2 favorite pictures of him from this past summer while we were building the house.
