and baby makes 6!

When I said you could have some graham crackers, I did not mean that you could use a scissor to cut them into shapes. I do feel that I must thank you for filling in the cracks between the wood floor planks under your chair with the crumbs. Very creative! [...]

We do not exist in this world anymore. We exist in the world of the perpetual vacation.
We hustle on Friday to pack the Little House, pick up the kids from school and get the hell out of Dodge. We have spasmotic convulsions about 20 miles from home as the toxins of [...]

Okay, so I am giving this a go. Here is my new home!
hang in with me while I wet my feet with Wordpress

We took off again in the Little House and enjoyed the beauty of Goose Island State Park. Oh, it was….well, a picture says a thousand words so, here ya go:
The pier that went on forever:

The Great Egret:

Camp site. We woke up to the most beautiful sunrise over the bay:

Chris and Carmen have teamed up to do posts on “The day in the life of a larger than average family” each Wednesday. Today’s topic is The Morning Routine, and everyone is invited to post their routine, then link to it in the comment section of Chris’ blog. Carmen starts her day at [...]

How does God answer prayers?
In His time,
so they say.
Just one look at her
and you must admit,
It was time spent perfecting her smile.

Quinn was overheard singing a special song this morning. Notice the ad libbing of the 2nd and 4th verses.
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
Eeny meanie miney mo;
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
Eeny meanie miney mo;
Can the cuteness get much better than this?

Can you inject Dawn into your arteries? I need some de-greasing.
I cooked 2 pounds of bacon yesterday morning…………it is gone.
After having consumed , oh, say 6 pieces of bacon yesterday morning, in the chaos of my day I failed to eat anything else until around 6:30 pm. At that moment, I [...]

Why, oh why do we have to have real life, with jobs, bills, cat litter, school, etc. Coming home from our little trip this weekend was about as enjoyable as having all of my eye lashes removed with a tweezer.
I really love my house, so this is saying a great deal about how [...]

Ponies on vacation, Aransas Pass, Texas

If you go to my Flickr page, be prepared to be assaulted with a kazillion newly loaded photos. It is bad….real bad. Worse than the home movies of your great, great Aunties trip to Maui.
When I moved my site here from Typepad, I couldn’t believe how easy the transition was. Well, guess [...]

How my daughter signals that she is finished eating:

Who are you people?? I need to know! I have had almost 50,000 hits since I moved to this domain, so I know you are there, lurking and such. I want to know who you are! I want to visit your sites!
So this is the week that Sheryl at [...]

Me: “Do you want to watch Animals?”
Mia: “Yesh, Amnimals”
So, I place “Amazing Animals” into the video recorder.
Mia explodes into a screaming, stomping mess. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”
Me: “What, I thought you wanted Animals on…okay, out they go” and I pop out the tape.
Mia explodes into a screaming, stomping mess. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Me: “What, you want [...]

I have been tagged by Jennifer! This is the first Meme I have ever done.
Five weird habits of yourself:
“The first player of this game starts with the topic ‘five weird habits of yourself,’ and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state [...]

1. Memory foam will not only remember a comfortable position you placed your body in, it will also remember the breast feeding contortionist position in which your spine was shaped like a section of Dead Mans Curve……it will mold around this and lull one into thinking they are in comfort, only to find inthe [...]

A recent search brought someone to my sight looking for hope. These simple words speak for themselves and brought it all back to me, awash in tears:
-4 miscarriages hope
My heart goes out to you, and yes, there is hope….I offer you proof:

I have added a new category to my sidebar titled Miscarriage Support. [...]

And I thought the truck was big…………..

The very long 5′er arrived in Shiner at midnight last night. 3 very tired and excited boys woke me up to show me what they dragged home from the Almost Great North ;*) They pulled me out of my warm bed and onto the back porch [...]

My son and daughter love to get the foot lotion out and play with it. One perk for me is I am the recipient of copious amounts of lotion lathered all over my legs and feet. I present to you “A Poor Man’s Pedicure”:

Just got word from Bill that they have picked up the 5′er and are on their way home! He said that the truck pulls it without any problems! Big relief to me!
He said the RV is beautiful. The furniture and cabinets in it are wonderful, much better than any of [...]

It has been a frenzy of planning here. We decided on the Ameri-camp, got financing, then insurance etc. Then had to find a 5 day window in which to drive to Indiana and pick it up.* That 5 day window fell over the New Years holiday weekend.
So, Bill and our 2 [...]
