Can't wait for spring!!

Spring training has began around our house Gracie is quick to lend a helping hand!  She'll take any opportunity to twist her bubba's arms!! She says bubba's got to stretch before practice. He has just completed his first fundraiser of the season and sold all the tickets by himself  I was very impressed!

While he's at practice Gracie has been practicing a few moves of her own...

A little Kung Fu panda for your viewing pleasures!! There goes that creativity again!!

Next... in preparation for spring we decided to try to get an early start by planting some seeds in the house first.

We planted a little bit of everything.

We'll see if it grows.

Keep your fingers crossed!

 

And maybe you should keep your toes crossed too...

Hopefully Gracie didn't mix up too many of the seeds.

Still sowing seeds!!

Now the kids left us to finish it!!

 Finally they are all planted, well almost we do have a few left but they spilled and we don't know what seeds are what! Oops!!

Now it's time for dinner and I'm trying a new recipe, Chicken enchiladas!  After I ...

made my daughter cry...

(she says she's allergic to onions)

Caught my pan on fire ...

(even flat surface stoves will catch grease on fire)

Burnt some of my tortillas...

And slaved for 2 1/2 hours its finally done and ...

MY KIDS WON'T EAT IT THEY WANT PB&J!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT AIN'T RIGHT!!!!!

I'm gonna go pout now!  :(

Love ya!

Busy, Busy, Busy

       It's been a few days, but I'm back. I know, I know... you thought I dropped off the face of the earth but I didn't I've just been buried in the pile of things to do on my list.  It seems like I'm going every direction but forward. We've had a guest speaker at our church for the last three services and that has been very uplifting, we are trying to get ready for our first annual neighborhood garage sale, the mountain of  laundry is never ending, I'm still trying to dig my way out of that, and Monday is our CC day. We meet with our homeschool group on Monday's and the kids get to socialize and terrorize they really like to do that!

Here is Tboy giving his presentation on his favorite subject in school which he said was Science.

He has also decided that when he grows up he wants to be a vet! Go for it Tboy!

Gracie says her favorite subject is art.  It's kind of funny the guest speaker we had at church was praying for her and he said, "I see a lot of creativity in her!"  I wanted to say, OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!

She also likes the culinary arts!

 I wanted to post a closer look at this picture, notice the big circle above her head she wanted me to let everyone know that was her angel right there! Her creativity never ends!!

Baseball season has started once again and I'm excited about this year we are slowing it down a little going back to league ball and not so much traveling! Whoohoo! 

So I'm sure that since we will be at practice several times a week that is probably where I will be blogging from!   

THE CAR!!!!!

With all this cold weather I don't get out of the car much at practice I'm pretty unsociable unless your parked next to me because I don't like the cold weather!

Lots of love,

She's the " I am not gonna get into trouble for this "  kid...

She's the " Give me a hug "  kid...

She's the " let's go take a nap " kid...

She's the comedy relief around here...

She's an animal lover...

She's our cheerleader...

She's the " the last one is mine " kid...

She's the " I told you I was sleeping in your bed tonight and I'm the princess " kid...

She is our Gracie and she brings us so much joy, and frustration, laughter, and aggravation, comedy , and imagination, she is brutally honest and o so sweet. She is the one that made this family complete.             Thank You Lord

A New brother

Lord have mercy on my children, bless their hearts they are both like their Mom when it comes to taking care of stray animals, wounded wildlife and in this case orphans.  Our homeschool group went to Winter Jam, (which is a christian concert for those of you who have never heard of it), this past weekend and they were talking about all the children that need homes. So when we met with the group on monday they were praying for them and telling some of the things that were said about them at the concert.  I looked over at my son and could tell he was touched by the story that was being told, he never said anything at that moment just went on with his normal day of school work.

After our day was over and we got in the car to leave he popped the question, "Moma can we adopt a boy my age that can speak my language?  I'm tired of playing with all these girls all the time!"  I told him he would have to talk to his daddy.  Then Gracie says "I don't think so bub, if you get to buy a boy I want a girl my age that I can play with!!"  They argued back and forth for what seemed like forever and finally let it go.  The next morning though, Tboy was asking me  "did you talk to daddy last night?" I told him that I had mentioned it to him and he was not going for it right now. Tboy was so disappointed and said "why not? "  Well daddy just said we don't really have the room right now. They don't understand why we can't just go pick one up!  It's been two days now since that conversation and he still keeps bringing it up asking when do you  think we might move so we can have more room to go get a brother!  What in the world am I gonna do about this?

lots of love,

Good weather = OUSTIDE WORK

     Saturday began when Ironman and the kiddos decided since the weather was good they would get out the hammers, wrenches and a chainsaw and tear down the back deck. Soon after they began they were joined by the neighbor girls all the way down to the 1yr old and as always HE FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES! I was stuck working all day and missed the grand occasion and I'm sure some awesome pictures. I would have loved to see him and Tboy working with 4 girls all day, bet that was funny!  After it was all down and on the trailer I got to participate in the unloading of the wood at the dump site and I have pictures!!  That is a good way to keep from getting too dirty, it is impossible to do heavy lifting with a camera to your eye!! Hehehe...

 

  

 

Most people get to spend their Sundays resting after church, maybe napping or getting ready for the next week but their husbands last name is not DAVIS! 

Gracie is giving her best effort in unloading this trailer.

She is doing a great job keepin up with daddy.

You can tell this took lots of concentration just look at the tongue!

Hard work runs in the family.

Don't worry only daddy was harmed in the making of this blog and it was just a quick blow to the head by one of Gracie's boards, but that was to be expected!

  

And this... This is the son my dad never had... Dually

They say animals look like their owners... I think i've seen my dad make that face before!! HAHAHA 

If he wants to help he sure has a funny way of showin it.

After the trailer was empty Tboy and I decided to see who could keep the hot suckers in our mouth the longest!

Then it was time to go check on the babies before heading home they are gettin so big already.

They are so stinking cute when they are babies.  I love this shot!

Here are the moma's

Yes, he really is going to pet the cow!!

See I told ya!

Then its off to taste the cattle feed!  Yeah I know what your thinking... Geez don't you ever feed those kids...

And here is last summer's master piece!!

Last but not least it's our tiny little cow dog that barks orders from the back seat of the truck. Who could ever forget Izzy?!! Not me!
