Spring is here

Never enough time to get stuff ready, love my new used tiller sure cuts the time down. But would love to have a small tractor with a till on a pto.

A small load of lumber from the saw mill $8.

Not too much for the old truck to hand

The Man Helping out.

New Home School projects to come

My first project, next to come a Belt for tubby with his name on it, some sheaths for my knives, and some moccasins.

We got a lot of leather and some really neat tools :)

Girls and their Auntie making Bierocks!

Tubby is painting!

Got busy with the baby and got no other pictures t

Fonte...

I have been thinking of my births lately. The good the bad and the ugly. This is Fontie nearly 9 yrs ago. Her birth and Jew-bee's affected me so highly. I have been molded through them. both ended in C-section and a beautiful baby. God is good.
I am stubborn. I like things my way. I am German from both sides. I think that helps me be stubborn. Which is both good and bad. But I have needed to let God have his way. I dont wanta. But have gotten better at seeing his way is better than mine, even when I try telling him I am right.... Never a good idea, but very human. I want to be like him.

Once upon a time.... Momma as a child

3 Here. At my parents wedding. The lady in the picture is who I was named after.
(middle name)


(Same lady and her daughter) I remember this day. OK I only remember the cake.
But I was told it was a baby shower for my little sister.



These pics were a fav growing up! I am told right after a couple pictures
I fell off and got a goose egg on my head.

I love looking at old pictures. And seeing who my children look like.
I normally think they look the opposite that others think. ;)
Glad M in the pictures uploaded these for me.

Children and the Camera...

When my children get ahold of the camera, I think the right thing to do is to share the pictures they take. Don't you? Ran has TONS on here! Just wait til I post a few. Ha!

The Tubby and his Momma

CHEESE Momma! CHEESE!


Smile Tubby! Cheese!

Here Momma eat this!

Momma's big boy!

Girls were busy being responsible. (making meat rolls- like bierocks without cabbage) And we played. But only for a minute, cause we had to help too. ;) Mmmm they were tasty!

Sweeping..

It is something Tubby enjoys. So it is his job to go it near the wood stove.

But he needs a helper to keep his attention. Which is generally a job all the girls race to do.

He is a up and coming chore guy. I love it. He wants so bad to be big that we do all we can to help him to be.

~Momma

Momma! Momma!! Look what we found!!!

YUMM!!

At least they thought so. I think they ate 1/2 the thing!

I remember eating them as a child too. But for now I'll stick with the

good stuff like Snow ice cream ;)

~Momma

Full Breakfast.

Tubby wanted me to take a picture of his bowl.

Here is Daddy's spread.

Children bowls. They too were thrilled!

CHEESE!!!!

Our favorite HUGE cast iron skillet. Holds a lot of food Maynard!

Daddy likes a FULL breakfast. Problem is Momma rarely makes them. Sooo this day Daddy did. ( He would every day if time allowed for it) And he grabbed a girl to capture it. I think over 100 pictures were taken of the making of this meal! Oye.

It was very yummy! And took lots of time. (which is why I don't bother with it. Yes I am lazy. Thank you.)

~Momma

SNOW!!! ( these are a couple weeks old...)

We got 20 inches of snow. And a day or 2 later another 4 inches! Never seen that much snow in my life! Brrrr. I stayed in! But we all had snow ice cream a couple times!! And our neighbor plowed our drive for us! Praise the Lord! So glad people help people out here. Still need to get him some cookies as a thank you!

~Momma

Random Nonsense pictures...Just because I can.

This is his Ahhhh full tummy of milk look. I think
He is super duper yummy!


School work. 6th grade is now behind us. And it is break time til
7th arrives. We took no breaks this yr so this is loved.
But time to start on the garden now. So still very busy, plus still
studing the bible and memorizing some. Also reading books. Current read aloud is
a biography. No idea on her personal book at the moment.
I dont keep up with that anymore. Too many readers plowing through books.
And some read more than one at a time. One thing I could never do!


CHEESE!!! (BALL)




Typical Tubby... Hat, boots and 'The Look'

AHHHHH!!!! Look out for Ran! Tubby says 'cheese me Momma!'

~Momma

Tubby

Willy had on a pink robe. So her sidekick, Tubby, had to match. Only all she had to offer him was her doll baby's size 0-3 mth sleeper. She got it to fit. Surprising considering his 'nice tummy' :) He was proud of it though. And Willy thought it blog worthy.

~Momma

Jew- Bee

The baby is now added to the family list on the side!

And I am using tonight to get as many posts done as I can!

Daddy is helping Uncle paint his house tonight so with children in bed it is just Jew-Bee and I. Let's see how far I can get!

~Momma

P.S. typing 1 handed means moving slow... Hope he is sleeping soon.
