Happy Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday, please be safe if you are traveling, enjoy your families and build even more memories.

November......

"November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring."
- Elizabeth Coatsworth

Josh 2009 Football...

I know this is a late post and his football season is over but these are pictures I got last month of Josh, I can't get over how big he is getting, the first photo is my sweet boy and the second is his Mr. Tough Guy side!

Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving...

Good morning, so I have been reminiscing about years gone by, we have one daughter married and is sooner than later going to begin their family tradition, and as I thought on this I had to laugh to myself about the number of times I made my kids watch the Charlie Brown specials on the telle(TV). So I have decided to start my thanksgiving preparations by watching this!!!!

Yes I know I am a bit older than before but I love these shows and Mr. Hubby and the kids will be made to sit and watch with me!!! So here you go I hope you enjoy!

While The Trees Sleep

I think I need a special clock that will just stop time, everything seems to go by so fast these days.

I can remember as a child I would always think this is the slowest day of my life, now everyday flies by that at times I can't remember it! So today I have decided to slow down and just listen to the music, won't you join me even if it just for a few minutes, let us just dwell in this moment of life. I hope you enjoy video.

Kids Relaxing.....

Here they are, at first his sister wouldn't pay any attention to him, now she's keeping a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't misbehave and he won't lay down anywhere that isn't near her. Her job is never done, and he is behaving like a typical younger brother!!!!

Meet Marley!

Hi Everyone, well I know it has been quite awhile, but I have been so super busy, and to add to this we just added a new member to our family, yes here he is Marley, he is 5 months old and a cutie pie, just in case you are wondering he is a Puggle. Right now he is busy beyond belief and I thought our 5 kids were work, but this puppy has won that title, and his sister Arwin she seems no more enthused with him than she was before he got here! WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a wonderful day.

Marley just waking up!!!

Arwin hasn't noticed him yet!!!

Until Tomorrow, Sweet Dreams......

Giant Cookies!

So I wanted to bake some cookies today but I wanted the super giant kind of cookies you normally get at the malls! I didn't want to bake by scratch today so I decided to try these, and guess what these declicious looking cookies probably won't last 3 seconds in the house, for each cookie I took a 1/4 cup of cookie dough and put it on a ungreased cookie sheet, I was able to fit 4 on each sheet, that should tell you how big these are, then I cooked them for exactly 16 minutes at 350 degrees. We haven't eaten them yet but a cold glass of milk OMG I think I will be in heaven!!!!!

Dog's Life!!!

Well here she, my little girl, she decided to jump into the pool with her brothers then next thing you know she gets on the tube and decided to lounge for the rest of the time, watching to make sure the boys don't make a sneak attack!!

Here she is afterwards just exhausted from watching those boys of hers!!! So much for her to do, running around, chasing the boys, digging in the grass, what's a dog to do but have a stretch on the couch!!!!!

Time for Breakfast!!!

Here it is Sunday, it's kind of a overcast day, a little bit chilly, it almost feels like the start of fall!!!

Yes I am definitely a fall kind of person, so a big stack of pancakes for all, won't you join me??

Have a wonderful day.

Good Morning!

Today as I walked around outside with my morning coffee, I began to think of all the flowers I want to plant for next spring, then I something caught my eye and so I took a picture or two, now I want to share them with you, Have a Wonderful Day....

Happy 4th of July!!!

Here we are at the end of the day, I would like to believe that all had a wonderful day today, truly enjoyed themselves and have made new memories! Goodnight ........

The Silver Bowl.......

It all began last week, I decided to visit one of my favorite thrift stores, yes I love to thrift, anywhoo as I walked up and down the aisle something caught my eye, it was this bowl, it was so tarnished and dirty I thought to myself do I really want to work on this, now understand me I absolutely love anything silver, anything milk glass and all cups and saucers, and absolutely unequivably 100% all christmas especially dishes, this is another story though, so I went ahead and I brought this baby home and began to work on it and guess what, I am in love with my bowl!!!!! Yes, take a look at my before, middle, and after, as they say "One person's junk is another person's Treasure" and geez what a treasure I found!!!!!!!

Before: Tarnished and Dirty

Middle: Halfway done

After: Beautiful

Guess Who Is One Today!!!!!!

Look who is turning one today, it is Mr. Happy, a whole one year old, I wonder what stories he will have to tell????? He certainly is the king in my book. We Love You Mr. Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!

The Pouch Mug??

I must say when I first saw this I thought oh another mug, but then I lost the blurriness, you must understand this was first thing this morning during my time alone, as I looked closer I saw this has a little pocket for tea then my mind started thinking, I can put a hot chocolate packet instead of tea or a instant coffee packet, or sugar packet, splenda packet heck even a packet of good campbell's cup of soup!!!
I want this no I need this, I would put this in my purse and carry it everywhere...



Here is the link to the pouch mug if anyone else is interested in looking at it.
