weekly updates

Hey there all FANS of mine!!! (LOL!!!)
Anyways.. Still fighting the good fight! Lots of stuff going on though!
Been out and about doing some fun stuff!
Let's see..
Well I finally got around to giving Lolie her first haircut! I know she has been looking like "cousin it" for months. so here is a pic of my sweet girl... starting to look like a toddler!! :)



Yesterday we went to OSU Lambing thing.. it was pretty cool actually... If you like watching Sheep in labor!! :) but I did think it was very cool, I more so than the kids. SO here are some pics from our Lambing adventure


Here is our field trip groupies

Ah Mr. Pity-ful!

Faith of a Mustard Seed

Sometimes... don't you ever just get tired of the fight!
Last week was one of those weeks.. and I AM SOOOOOO tired today!!
Feels like my chest is tight! I am going to blow at any moment.. and can't even get a chance to catch my breathe from the last major event!
Will it ever happen? Will it ever get better? Somedays I have that great perspective of IT IS GOING TO BE OKAY!! NO matter the set back.. then other days.. I think REALLY?? it is?
So I guess today well the last couple of days I've been having the "other days"
It really doesn't matter how I feel.. really.. cause it is what it is and I need to adjust my eyes to just that.. but to honest... just feeling really tired right about now.

Valentine's Fun Day.

So today.. we went to Portland for my niece's 7th!! Birthday.. so before we headed to the party. We went to OMSI.. which was the first time for us.. It is actually a pretty cool place to go and play.... except for the "prenatal" exhibit.. which I will just say was pretty graphic.. LOL! anyways... her are some pics....

Home school Drop Out!

Okay Peeps...

Well apparently.. MOST of you missed my homeschooling closure!!! So I am going to do a re-play!

So anyhow.. After prayer and prayer and more prayer.. we decided to end our 3 months of Home schooling.. NOT because I couldn't stand it anymore!!! (quite the opposite) We had talked to Abbie about taking a break out from school until Christmas time and then we would re-evaluate it from there.. Well Abbie knew that date was coming and she had her t's crossed and her i's dotted! Homeschooling for us was never a permamant move.. As most of you know one of my top 3's "I would never" and homeschool was definetly one of them! It was probably the best time.. Abbie and I have had together and it was AWESOME!! yes AWESOME... But we had all prayed about this move and felt it okay to move forward with her going back to school. You ask her these days how she loves being back at school... AND THERE IS NO QUESTION she loves it!
Some great lesson's learned from this is well the obvious.. " NEVER SAY NEVER" and I can actually do it! Homeschooling is not such a bad beast after all! And I MISS her when she goes to school these days.. I asked her the other day if she wanted to homeschool and she VERY QUICKLY responded.. "NO WAY!!! PLEASE NO!!" anyways... all this to say. I would not take it back for a moment and also wouldn't hesitate to do it again! :)
Thanks Peeps for your prayers!! You guys rock!
