Well, here I am in FL, living life full of sunshine and warm weather....did I mention that the sun has been shining the WHOLE time!!!!! :) I have had a simply lovely time playing with Dono-man, making a bunch of food, watching movies at night with popcorn, and taking lovely walks! I cannot upload pictures, so that will have to wait until I get home! Anywho, y'all have a blessed Sabbath!! Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?!?!? {insert smile}

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:6-7 So, yesterday was my LAST whole day to spend with my siblings! To make things fun we went out on a nice walk, (seeing it was balmy and extremely sunny out) , came home to some Corned Beef (first time making it!) and then peach smoothies! *happy sigh* Life is good! Below, as you can tell, I have some really awesome siblings who have some BRILLIANT moves when it come to jumping! =) Photo Credit: Jessica McDonald Well, I'm off in about 8 hours. Heading to the airport around 2:50! Please pray that my flight would go smoothly, and I won't sound of the metal scanners!! *looks around nervously* (worst fear ever!) I pray y'all have a tremendously wonderful day/week, and let's hope somehow I can still bl...

So, today has been a slightly busy day! I got up, made a late breakfast which included the following: Apple Dutch Pancakes, Bacon, and Eggs. The kids loved it, so I was happy! Then I went to get ready for the day, cleaned the kitchen, made a grocery list, made some lunch and so forth with the cleaning! After some time dad had us all pack into the Dodge and head for the church. Bulletins needed to be printed, folded, stapled, and be brought out to the pews! I also went shopping while he started the printing part and all that goes with it! =) Below is a picture of William drinking a special drink Jess made yesterday. It's called Raspberry Cordial, and I know most of y'all will know EXACTLY what that is....unless Anne of Green Gables hasn't ever been in or near y'alls house! CHEERS!! A very happy boy with a red mustache! Jess and I on the shopping spree! (last one before I leave for 2 weeks!) Later after the printing and grocery run was finished, we went to a friends hous...

So, seeing today IS St. Patrick's Day.....we are wearing green and some orange in this house! =) But, just because it's a special day doesn't mean we don't have other things to do! That's right....the kids and I have been working ALL morning on their winter/summer clothes! We have taken out the rather hot, dark clothing put them away until next time and have taken the bright summer clothes out!! It always makes me happy to see such cheerful colours!! But, before I go on with today, I must update y'all on what happened yesterday, no? Well, let's just say it started out nice and quiet..and I should say rather warm!!! I went out most of the afternoon running many errands, finally getting home around 4 ish to finish getting ready for company! That's right! We celebrated Virginia Graces' birthday with some friends, also with James and Jill too! =) As you can see some people were incredibly happy! Much better! ;-) Grace and her friend Elita with their ...

Well, I wanted to wish y'all a very Happy Wednesday! =) And what better way, then to fly up in the sky as the wind carries you away! {insert grin} Also, I've been blessed to spend my day with this cute guy! Well, I must go and conquer yet another day! Y'all have a splendid day, whether it's windy or not! =) Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?!?

So, this past weekend we went to another shower for my soon-to-be sister-in-law! It was such a lovely event and enjoyed by one and all! This one was for friends and family! The basket of goodies above and below is a homemade Essential oil first aid kit with band-aids, lotion, tissues, and much more! It was so fun to make with my mom....who made ALL of the massage oil rub, bath salts, dragon breath spray, and much more! That little piece of paper the ant is holding up is my work! =) Jess and I as we make the drive to the shower! There we some games that we played and some of those questions I didn't know....sad eh?!?! Seeing at it is my brother whose getting married, but I never thought to ask them what their favorite restaurant was! Mom, making sure she has all of the answers right! The table of goodies! They had these DELICIOUS brownies with caramel and chocolate chips in them..... Some of the Sanford girls! Mom and Em! Jill was so cute as she opened all of her gifts! She was so g...
