Mmmm....early Morning goodness

I have been excited to get the Christmas Flavors, hubby brought me home a bottle. I love getting up every morning to a cup of this, as I get my little ladies ready for school!

I miss blogging oh and a new Family room

We had a deck that wasn't closed in, and was really not getting much use. It was very big. My house was built in 1930, so the dining room and family room run together. Makes it hard to entertain when everyone is stuffed into a small space. So, I put out an idea to hubby about enclosing the un-used deck and turning it into the new family room. Well, he sat on it for months, I waited, and waited, then one day he thought of this great idea, and began working on a new family room.

Sorry this is blurry, but this is the TV corner, and if it was a clearer day you could see Mt. St. Helens right out those windows, we have a very clear view of that Mt.

Mine and hubby love seat.

The corner the girls love to sit in, the fireplace we got at an auction for $35 it is so warm.

I laid the hardwood floor with my hubby, not easy work being on my knees the whole time, but oh so worth it.

So, this is mainly why I haven't been around, once hubby got started, I needed to help him get it finished!!! What a lucky girl I am.

Look at my passenger!!!

This is my dog Daytona!!! He here's me grab my keys and out he goes!!! He waits for me at the truck.

I was looking in the rear view mirror & there he was. I grabbed the camera and shot this!!!

She is driving!

Well, my 15 yr old got her permit. And is now driving. She looks for any excuse to have us go on small errands. She is so funny.

I am very proud of her, but I am also praying a little more as I enter a new stage with my daughters!!

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

I received this gift from my Secret Sister over at Sugar Pie Farmhouse. My birthday was the 15th. But, my daughters received the package while I was out of town, slid it behind our loveseat and I didn't find it for several days.

I was so thrilled to get the Celebrate magazine, FULL of eye candy and the Red/White polka dotted cup full of goodies was the other part of the gift. It was a wonderful day for me!!!
Thank you SECRET SISTER!!

back from the beach!!

My hubby and I attended the Rod Run to The End of The World!!! We spent 4 days at the beach, it was wonderful. I needed the time away. After all the medical issues I have been dealing with, this was a nice time away!!! I still am trying to get back into the swing of things!!!

my own Farm Chicks

I found these chicks yesturday. These 4 were running after their mother, but somehow escaped out of the fence. I must have loked so funny chasing after them, getting them back with their mama.

We didn't think we got any this year because early in the summer we found that the rats had taken many of the eggs and ate alot of these little guys.

Imagine my surprise when I saw these little things.
