"I've got a pocket full of sunshine!"

So, this past Wed. my brother and sister-in-law came over to bless us with a meal and also a slide show of their honeymoon pictures to London, England and all over Scotland! It was such a surprise when I walked in the door to this:
Just warmed my heart to know that they thought of us in such a sweet week! For those who don't know, we will be driving to CA this coming Mon. So, I greatly appreciated this! They also made a WONDERFUL table setting!My brother grilling (first time of the year!!) some delicious chicken! =)

My other brother just chatting!

And of course, I have to add that I got some new shoes! I rather like them.....but it reminds some people of Fat Albert! =}

Our lovely view from the back.....


My dad and brother, having their "man" time!

Today has been a full day of cleaning house, and getting it ready for our house sitters! aka: James and Jill After that I made some sweet iced tea (the ONLY kind) and gave some to my helpers who cleaned up the kitchen from lunch! =)


I pray y'all have been incredibly blessed this week and also will continue to be blessed! It's been a hectic week for us getting this ready and working on food (so we don't have to eat junk food), packing, and so many other things! So, maybe I can get just one more post up before heading to CA...or maybe I'll post when we get to our first stop, Colorado! =)

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
