My little Key Lime

One of my favorite desserts of all time is a REALLY good Key Lime Pie. When Brian and I were on our honeymoon, I had a Key Lime Pie at a little Bistro on Sanibel Island. The fact that I remember this little piece of pie...shows how good it really was. Limes are just plain great. They are cute, smell good, and have a great color. So, when I learned...

And she won some...

Life lesson learned for Abigail Shaw. Effort is credited. When you do your best, and work hard, you will succeed. These are pictures of some of Abbie's 4-H projects. She wanted me to note that some of them are missing their ribbons. This is of major importance, b/c her ribbons were very special!This is her horse poster. I think it was her favorite,...

Carrots...

Carrots are a dear friend right now. As are tomatoes and cucumbers. My favorite foods hands down. So, it is quite fitting that little baby is now the size of a mini-carrot! LOVE IT! If you look it up, a 10 week old baby is actually said to be the size of a prune (what a horrible thing to say about a baby!) OR, you could call the prune by it's...

Snow!!!!!

Well, at least it is snowing SOMEWHERE in the world! We currently have a $452 electric bill (yes you read that right), so we have our air turned to 77 degrees to help cut cost (previously set at 73). Our van doesn't have air. And I am quite pregnant.You can imagine that I am dreaming of cooler weather. Like seriously longing for it. And then,...

Olives.

Today, I awoke to no morning sickness...and feeling rather good. I sighed a big sigh, and then panic washed over me. Wait, no morning sickness...I wonder if something happened. I worried a little off and on for about 2 hours. Then, I ate some Reeses Puff cereal. Worry was over. LOL!All that worrying did alert me to the fact that we have done...

Happy Independence Day!

On July 3rd, we went to a cookout at Nana's campground...of course all of the cousins were there, so my kids had a BLAST! We ate and ate, rode on a hayride, jumped on a bouncy thing, played some games, and watched fireworks. They were happy munchkins. :)On the 5th of July, our church took part in a parade. Abbie was Abraham Lincoln (Lincoln is one...

Isaac's 4- H

Hard to believe that Isaac is at an age where he can do things more on his own. I recently caught him sitting up against a tree in our back yard...talking to himself. I wondered what he was saying, but thought I should just let him alone with his thoughts.Isaac entered into mini 4-H this year. He chose to make a Star Wars model for his project....

You win some...and others you tank on.

Abbie was in her first 4-H show this past weekend. It was the Dog Show. Let's just say that Max, an 8 month old Chocholate Lab, had WAY too much puppy in him that day. The competition was split into 2 different sections. The first section, Max did GREAT! The second one, he barked and had his points for that round almost eliminated. He came in...
