A few Christmas Pictures

These are totally out of order-- for some reason I have had a really hard time with pictures on here!?!

Here is Nathan-- with his brothers new paints....

The 3 oldest boys got new sleds-- their old ones had holes in the bottom... now we are just waiting for SNOW to test them out!!
Here is 1 of 2 bunny's the older 2 boys received- Hoping to get into the MEAT Rabbit business this spring....

Joshua's favorite gift- he said he has waited 30 years for this sweatshirt!! And no joke-- we could hardly go shopping without him stopping to drool over anything "Steelers". PS: Real truth--the boy has worn this EVERYDAY since Christmas....




Mommys favorite gift for her boys- Little Bear Wheeler's DVD set Frontier Skills


Rebekah and Stephen both received a new supply of Play doh and accessories....

Zachary's favorite gift-- he was totally surprised-- because we have always had a NO VIDEO GAME rule in our home-- but this is not a "system" this is a 1 game kind of thing-- you cannot buy any additional games etc.... and they have spent HOURS on this as well---

Poor little Nathan-- when you are #5 you really don't "need" anything-- so his gifts were VERY practical-- including this new hat....



Zachary and Joshua love doing crossword puzzles --so they each got a new book.

Little Rebekah-- with a hat that doesn't fit her head!!! LOL

Little Nathan-- wondering WHAT IN THE WORLD is going on here-- when he first woke up Christmas Morning



Stephen too-- was not expecting anything out of the ordinary on Christmas day-- he knew Grandad and Grandma were coming-- but that was all.... :)

Christmas morning BEFORE the kids came down.

    Thanks for sharing! I've been on the 'shed for several years, so knew you from there. ;) Just had to share our Playdoh recipe with you. Thought you'd enjoy it. :) (I'm tiggerandbug, btw.)

    Kool-Aid Play Dough

    2 1/2 cups of flour
    1/2 cup salt
    2 packages dry unsweetened Kool-Aid
    2 cups boiling water
    1 tablespoon oil

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix the liquids together and pour them over the dry
    ingredients. Stir the mixture until it forms a ball (this may take a while - keep stirring).
    As the mixture cools, it will become less sticky. After the mixture has cooled, take it out of the bowl and knead it until it is smooth. ( I just wear rubber dishwashing gloves to mix it all up until it's cool.)

Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

Immigrant 1880-1914 food budget

Image
So we went on a mini field trip this weekend to the Johnstown Flood Museum and then to the Heritage Center -- "Through Immigrant Eyes, tells a national story in a local context. It captures the imaginations of visitors through its innovative use of interactive media. Rather than simply looking at artifacts, you'll actually experience the sights, sounds and even the smells of immigrants' daily lives, and come away with a more complete understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of these Americans in the making. As you enter, you'll choose a card with a photo of one of eight immigrant characters, who are fictional composites based on historical facts. You then experience the daily life of that character as you tour the museum. " Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...

Day Book

The best way to get back in (for me) is a Day Book. I'm not sure if they even still have a "Simple Woman's Day Book" or not, but I always enjoyed them. Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016 Picture for the week........                                                The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday-- ( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  ) Outside my window..... Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy I am thinking..... About starting in with some school for the kids next week. About dipping our feet in with some potty training. About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant. I am thankful for..... ...
