We didn't end up gion on any rides Saturday night like we planned. There was some bad blood amongst the carnies and the locals and they were getting physically violent with one another so we felt it best not to have our children there just in case! The kids were okay with it though because we promised to take them bowling instead. Now, we are on to preparing for Halloween. We have been working on

Well, the Fall Festival is in full swing and we are on day #3 of the 4 day event! Wednesday was the baby show and Prince/Princess contest on the stage in Oregon. My daughter Rayla placed first in the 18 - 24 month catergory. She was being such a show-off! :o)jShe was waving, blowing kisses, making faces and dancing around. I was totally shocked because she was being grumpy right before we went

We are gearing up for our counties Fall Festival beginning next week. Rayla is going to be in the baby show. Austin will be up for Festival Prince and Desiree is entering the Junior Miss Queen contest. There are sadly no events for Skyler this year but she's still looking forward to watching her siblings and the general parade on Saturday! Still trying to think of a float idea for our business

Yes believe it or not I am pregnant AGAIN!!! THis is my fifth child and the fourth girl. Poor Austin! But so far the big kids all seem to be excited about our new addition, the only one I'm worried about is Rayla. She is a big time Momma's girl and gets jealous easily! I'm hoping she will adjust easily but I guess only time will tell. :o) We don't have any names picked out just yet; can't seem

As you will be able to see from the photos below my house is in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint. (or two!) There is a hold-up however; we can't decide what color to paint it! There are three houses around mine and all of them are yellow! So yellow is out. Think the hubs wants to go gray and white but I'm not a big fan of gray. I thought maybe white with black trim but hubs wasn't too

This is my husband at work! I feel I must eleaborate a little on the circumstances of the end of this clip. You'll see towards the end what I"m talking about but when watching this keep in mind that he was unable to go back to the other side and simply push it over because there is a 30 foot hole that you can't see preventing him from reaching! And as for the fire; that was not the end of it. My

Typically on Saturday mornings I try to sleep in, usually with little success, but hey! Well, two weeks ago started out no different from the others, I opened my eyes checked my watch and listened to hear which of my children had already got out of bed. Then BOOM!! WTF?? what was that? So, I jump out of bed and start looking all around the house to make sure the little ones are okay, all was fine

This was written by a 15 yr. old school kid in Arizona: Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore because the word 'God' is mentioned.... A kid in Arizona wrote this: NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school,Where praying is against the rule, For this great nation under God,Finds mention of Him very odd.

This is for those mother's of boys, sisters of boys, and boys that have grown older. And anyone else who needs a laugh. And you also find out interesting things when you have sons, like...1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. 3.)

Several major food distributors are recalling peanut butter products due to salmonella poisoning that may be linked to the deaths of 6 people! The company at the center of the peanut butter recall case, Peanut Corporation of America, had said that it had been informed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that some samples of its products had tested positive for a salmonella strain that may

Here are some interesting tidbits I found online that further support my previous claims that America is setting itself up for an EPIC FAIL!!!!•Barack Obama voted four times to allow criminal charges against homeowners who defend their person and home with a gun. Despite Obama's propensity to say and do anything to get elected, Obama's record does not match his rhetoric. In fact, Barack Obama

I love my country, but it is full of idiots!! I think that most (if not all) of the "love" for Obama stems from the fact that he has made history! In case you can't tell I am not an Obama fan and as bad as America is under Bush's command, I believe we have just taken an epic turn for the worse.I think it is awesome that America finally voted for a black president but what I think is crap is that

Create a cute Love Bug with a big heart. It makes a great gift or a darling Valentine's Day decoration.1. Find pictures of bugs or read a book about insects. Then use your imagination to create your own unique Love Bug.2. Draw a large heart on red paper with erasable colored pencils and cut it out. Decorate the heart with markers, crayons or whatever you'd like. You can write loving messages.3.

We live in a rural area of Missouri where some favorite past times in this area might include riding four wheelers, target shooting, hunting or fishing.This past summer my husband and I decided to load up the kids, the poles, some soda and head for the lake to try our luck!
