14 Years And 20 Days...

That is the number of years and days I have diapered my offsprings heiny's!  That a very long time.  That's a whole lot of diapers and wipes.  I like to think its quite an accomplishment to say I've been diapering butts for almost as long as I've been married!

New Patio Benches...

Another Pinterest inspired project were these benches.  I painted the cinder blocks white and then stained the wood beams before inserting them into the cinder block holes.  I have plans to make a few cushions/pillows but for now we at least have plenty of seating when we have lots of friends over!

Homeschool Monthly Zoo Day...

This month's animal was the miniature pony.  The children first watched a short presentation on miniature horses and then took turns petting, brushing, and looking at them close up.  After class was over, we got to explore the zoo since this was our first time visiting.

Dillon Turns 11...

Dillon had a fulfilled weekend.  His birthday included the normal... his choice of meals, cake, and presents.  He had a sleepover with his friends which turned into a nap on his actual birthday with Maia!  Hehe His favorite gift seemed to be his new microscope.  He didn't want to put it away come night's end.

Great Grandma Simpson For A Visit...

Papa Made More...

The little girls were really envious of the older girl's jewelry holder, so Papa made 2 more!

Loose Tooth Causes Tears...

After losing 1 tooth in the van from daddy hitting a bump in the road, Garrison was very upset to learn his other bottom tooth was loose.  So upset, tears and fussing greeted me in the kitchen.  Poor thing was upset for hours until we got his mind distracted off this loose tooth.
