My little model




He is so silly. He loves these broken sunglasses.

Just curious...

I was thinking the other day how often do other people clean their house. I thought it would be neat to do a poll.
How often do you clean certain things in your house
floors?
bathrooms?
change sheets?
curtains?
dust?
laundry?
ceiling fans?
I am sure I am missing something. Feel free to mention it. Don't really care how clean your house is. I am not in this to pass judgement or think you are a neat freak or dirty. You live in it not me and I do think a home is a place to live not a museum. Ours is comfortable. We do have toys in several rooms and you will find clutter in various places. I try to really clean the floors once a week. I do sweep high traffic areas everyday. Bathrooms and sheets once a week. I despise dusting! Thanks mom for that one.:0) I had to do that chore every week when I was a kid. So if you come to my house and see dust that would be why. Really once a month on that one. Laundry everyday! Fans and curtains a few times a year. Oh try to include if you have kids and how many and if you work or stay at home. I have 2 boys and stay home.

Nothing important

I am just tired of being sick!! This cough is driving me nuts and barely having a voice is quite the challenge for me. It has been 3 weeks and I am tired of it. And to top it off the rainy cold weather makes it even harder to get out of bed. Blah. Oh well. Not to complain or anything.
On a positive note I got to snuggle with a 7 month old yesterday and Brenden got to play with a friend. We had 4 in our house yesterday ages 3, 2, 17months, and 7months. Sounds chaotic right. Not one bit. We had a wonderful day and I didn't even get a headache.

Building authentic relationships one life at a time....

That is our church motto. If you live around here you have noticed our church in the process of adding on. You may have also noticed a bunch of travel trailers parked at the old WC Waley school. This group of men are here helping build our new family life center.




Here are a few pics from the church site. How exciting to see the first beams going up.


Notice the washer and dryer above.




Here are about 25 motor homes. The washer and dryer above is how they are doing their laundry.




Words cannot express to these men who are giving their most precious gift, time. What a wonderful ministry they have to help other churches strive to spread the gospel in their communities. They are not only helping us with our building the wives that are with them are sewing and finding other ways to minister here locally. Thank you for your donated time, energy, and presence here.

My hunters




Barry took Brenden hunting this weekend for the youth hunt. Brenden had a blast with his daddy. He didn't complain at all. They had a great time together. And to top it off they got a deer. A 5pt. if you can't tell in the pic.

Treating..






We went out Friday night in our neighborhood. We decided the wagon would be a lot easier than walking or the stroller. The boys had a blast. We would roll them up to the door step and by the end of the night Blaine had the hang of holding up his bucket for candy. It was too funny. He was not letting that bucket go. A few times he dumped it on himself. He was a little front heavy with the bucket in his lap but he wouldn't allow anyone to help him. I do believe Brenden accomplished his goal of filling his bucket to the top. When we did that his mission was complete and we could go to his preschool teacher's house and to see his grandparents. What a mess they were.
