Everything is Different

                   Change is the only thing you can count on.

New Year New Age

Having a birthday so close to Christmas has always sucked. Having a birthday so near the New Year has always been awesome. I only have to reflect and change once a year instead of twice. This year I am making a list of the 29 things I wish to do or change in 2011. I only have about 11 so far but I hope to finish soon and get it posted. Some of the things are big like go to California some are small like exercise. I am hoping that 2011 gets me off the east coast and out of my selfishness.

A few years ago my friend said "Once you go off the main stream in one thing other things come easier." May your year be filled with life changing actions and thoughts.

Our Hardknock Life

Sometimes life throws you curve balls you never expected.

While on his way to work one morning my husband hit a deer.

Some body work is needed for the car to be drivable.

We can't afford it.

My van would cost $60 dollars a day to drive back and forth.

So Unforunately I am I stuck living like this four days a week

\Sunrise over the motel
Our room is one of the top two in the middle

All day spent smiling and laughing in the Florida sunshine
The view from the room where I get 20 minutes of free time while daddy and the girls play in the pool

It is a rough life but someone got to live it.

Mor Mor's birthday

Tomatoes were the theme. Tempera paint was the game. Nothing more fun then turning your hurricane supplies into party supplies.
Moonbeam made the tuna salad. Peace made the cake. I love being able to give the girls a recipe and everything turns out the way it is supposed to.

Beach

We made it to the beach for the first time this season. Whoo hoo!!!!

Do I have any proof ? No, you would have to know where your camera is to take pictures.

The best part of the trip was the kite. As I walked past a trash can I noticed a kite sitting on the top. I pulled it out, examined it and let the girls fly it. The wind was perfect for kite flying.
Moonbeam decided to find out what would happen if she let the string all the way out. Then let it go. The kite had a awesome adventure until it crashed into the ground. Had I've paid for the kite I would of been mad she let it go but since it was free I had a fun time watching it free fly through the sky. We cleaned up the string and threw it back away.
A good time was had by all.

Our last goat kids

Sarah gave birth to these two adorable twins.

Their names our Vanilla and Chocolate.

With all our males now wethers, we shouldn't have anymore.

touching everything

Today we went to Toys R Us and Michael's Crafts. No intention of buying anything. I let the girls touch every "try me" in the store. Any thing they felt like looking at I let them as long as they put it back exactly like they found it. It was pretty awesome.
Side note: Don't try to order a milkshake at Arby's by 75 in Valdosta if they have a bus in the lot. The machine will be "broken." Just like the last two times I tried while they had a bus.

The Hole

The girls dug a hole. Why? No one knows but them.
It was deeper but they thought filling it up with water would be fun. It wasn't. So they had to fill it in with dirt to dry the water.
After stopping to measure Peace, it turns out the hole was originally 42" deep. Kids do some interesting stuff when no one is looking.

From twenty one inches

I love my daughter's long flowing locks. The bible even states "but that if a woman has long hair,it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering." But there is nothing glorious about an unbrushed mop of hair. There is nothing glorious about the fights and crying about having to brush the knots out.

There is glory in giving your hair to charity. There is glory in the new peace leaving the house now has.
I love her new hairstyle and so does she.

Month of Firsts

Our first trip to Disney

Our (The Boss and I) first concert. Skillet and Toby Mac

Our first soft/t-ball games

Our first trip to Little Shoals State Park

Hope to do a post about all of these thing in-depth but not promising much.

Our first practice

playing the out field

She made it all the way around the bases.

Couldn't be more excited

My eyes! My eyes!

If you look for me in the next month look for me at the ballpark. I might just pitch a tent in town so I can stop driving back and forth.

This past month

Peace turned 7

Moonbean started FLVS

sometimes they liked each other.

I found a new favorite hairdo

5 goat kids were born
(the hanger gives good prospective on just how tiny they are).

Faithful Workout

I enjoy working out in my living room. Well, I don't enjoy stepping on Froot loops or the dogs in my face while I do sit-ups.
I found three weeks ago the perfect workout show. The show is called Faithful Workouts. On dish network it is on at 9:00 on Angel two in this area.
The reason I really enjoy it is she gives scripture while working out. In the background Christan music is playing. During the end stretches she gives a little devotion. There are commercials during the show I normally just step tap my way through them. If you are going to workout why not do it to some Christan music.
Here is link to the website http://faithfulworkouts.com/

My new babies

I love the length of my hair, unfortunately it will shrink over the next few months. That is why this picture is important to me.

Here they are out on the town.
I won 100 tickets on this game.
