a great day!

What a blessed day! My day started out with making pancakes with my girls, and yes I finally tried chocolate chip pancakes for my lex and she loved it! Then I sent the girls off to play while I cleaned for a while, and I got a lot done. I am blessed that my girls love to play with each other. Actually, they are into playing "going camping" which they will end up in the bottom of my closet giggling. Then Addi took a nap Lexi helped me fold the laundry, and asked tons of questions. For example, Are you married to my Dad? Is Dad married to you? Can I marry Dad? We went to a wedding a few months ago and Lexi is mad about getting married, and I let her watch my wedding video which she insists on watching all the time. Anyways, the afternoon came and with it my 2 nieces Jenna and Hanna. We popped popcorn, and all watched Beauty and the Beast. I fixed supper and off to church. Church was wonderful tonight, one of song leaders picked some good songs which lifted me up, and I am so grateful. The sermon tonight was a parable from Matthew which I always enjoy those. After church, Seth and I went to see "The Blind Side" at the Caddo Rex. Which is the best little movie theatre! and the movie was GREAT! A wonderful feel good movie, which are my favorite! Thanks for a great day, Thanks for a great family, Thanks for my sister who stayed with my girls tonight, and Thanks for my church family.

Alexis you are the butter to my bread!

I have never known a child to love butter as much as mine does. It's almost like Paula Deen has entered her soul....haha! There have been countless times I will ask what do you want for lunch today....her response.....Buttered bread please!?! So today for Lexi's snack I made her buttered bread, while I am buttering her bread. She says, Mom I love you sooooo much! How much do you love me? I turned and handed the buttered sandwich to a little girl with such a loving smile and said, Alexis Kalynn I love you this much....you are the butter to my bread! You should have seen her gleam! absolutely precious!

dress-up and new year eve!

Alexis, my 4 year old, loves her dress up! She put together this outfit and then did a little performance with her"kittle dum" as she calls it. Which is a skittle tin lid getting beat down with a little plastic spoon. You wouldn't think something so small could make that much noise, but let me assure you guys it does!

Ok so this is what entertainment I got while getting ready to go celebrate new years eve with our church family. I made seven-layer dip and honey bars. My honey bars would have been a perfect pan except when I got out of the oven someone, and not naming names, knocked the salt shaker on it. So needless to say, I had a big dent in one corner.

We had lots of fun, the kiddos where caught jumping on the tables in the class room while the adults were eating and playing games. HAHA so happy new year Everyone!

Hallelujah!

I have been cloth diapering my youngest full time for almost a year, I was using disposable and cloth and Addison's skin would not have it. So I can only use cloth now. I found a DIY toilet sprayer, because I didn't want to spend 50 for the kit. So Thanksgiving rolled around and my father-in-law is a handy guy and Seth was off that week so I told them I wanted a toilet sprayer. I also told them I found the instructions for DIY and the parts they needed saved on the computer. Seth and Charlie looked at me like I committed a serious crime and said I think we can do it without instructions, we have plumbed houses you know....typically men! So they go get the parts, and what do you know wrong sizes! So charlie goes back and still wrong size part. Thanksgiving came and gone and still no toilet sprayer! I told Seth not to get me anything for christmas but to get my toilet sprayer done. So he has been off for christmas and the day before Christmas eve, he said I'm going to Lowe's where is the instructions and the parts I need for the toilet sprayer, I wanted so badly to be a smart***, but I didn't because I know if I got sassy he may not give me what I needed.

My most favorite husband finally got the part he needed and installed my toilet sprayer for christmas! Hands down the best gift I received this year maybe the best gift ever! Love it Love it Love it! I don't see why everybody doesn't just use cloth after getting the toilet sprayer. The cost of disposable diapers and wipes and the thought of what they do to our earth is for the birds! Have I said how much I love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you Seth! Mommy is a happy camper, I just wished I would have known about this when I had Lexi, maybe I should start a campaign...hahaha! If anyone reads this and has children still in diapers, use cloth and get a toilet sprayer! You see I've already started my campaign. Go.....C....D..... and don't forget the toilet sprayer!

Thanks Great Grandma Viv!

My girls got the cutest dresses this christmas from their great grandma Vivian. Lexi begged to wear them to my mom's on christmas, but we waited for church on Sunday. They were soooo cute if I say so myself! Had a hard time getting them out of them. Thanks so much Viv! we love you!

My projects

I finished! I made party santa dresses for my girls, 2 quilt throws for my sister Danna, who takes everything back and for my darling Sister-in-law Shannon. Hope they liked them.

There is nothing like your momma's home cooking. We had home-made pizza for christmas eve dinner. I really think my mom should go in business. SSSOOOOO! YUMMY!!!
