Food

So many of my friends and family on here post what they make so I decided to post mine. :o) Here is some oatmeal that I made from scratch and NOT from a package lol I also added chopped apples, cinnamon and ground flax.
I have also been a vegetarian for over a month now. I decided to do it to see if I felt any different because of what I read about meat. I do feel great and most of the time just like I used too. I now feel empowered every day by my will power and also knowing that in my own little way I am helping the world without even leaving my house. I have also never eaten so many veggies!! I have gotten very creative with how I cook them up! Thanks Sarah for all your help you gave me!!

Charity Gala

Shan and I had the oppurtunity to go to a Charity Event to benefit the Holy Rosary School. I loved being able to dress all up fancy. I have not been this dressed up since my wedding so it has been a long time. The auction raised a lot of money and we had a great time with our friends too!!
Picture taken by my Dax :o)
Me and half of my little population Shan and I and my Wal*Mart press on nails Picture by Xavey. Watch out Alysha my boys are looking pretty talented!! Me, Kelly, Marney,Jodi and Cheree my bunco buds Me taking a pic and what is funny is that the lady behind me whose name is Treasure is who I bought my dress from. Me and my friend Brendi. This is who I work for at Hot Spot Tanning Me and Cheree Me and Shandra

What a fun night. Cinderella for a day.

Fun with Devin, wilst Mom and Dad are away

I love finding pictures like this on my camera! It is nice to know that my kiddos play so nice together when I am not around. I also love that my Devin who hides when the camera comes out and puts on his whatever look is having such a great time!!! And this is one of the reasons why we need to leave our kids every once in a while to play, help and watch each other.
Alissa and her big bro
I don't know whose feel these are. And by the way these are only a few of the pics I found on my camera. :o) Devin got thirsty. What? I didn't do it!! Belle Xavey and his big bro. Thanks for this wonderful surprise kids!! LOVE YOU!!

I am three and other cute pics

Alissa fell asleep this way the other night! So cute! I have a picture of me doing the same thing at this age!!
Isn't she just so photogenic?? Very cute kids and a sweet little puppy I am three!!!

Sleep over with the Spracklens

We had the Spracklen cousins over for a sleep over!! My kiddos love having them sooooo close
Kayleigh and Belle put on make up and did their hair and had to pose for the camera
Rarrrrrrrrr Xave and Koy said they were diggin a hole to China Kayleigh and Belle raked leaves. We also made chocolate chip cookies but that picture just vanished. Alissa, me and Shan stayed inside and slept in our nice beds Xave trying to do what Koy is doing in the next picture Isn't that a cool pic??
The kids out on the tramp for their sleep over. They thought my flash was really bright! It rained in the middle of the night and they all came in but left the sleeping bags and pillows outside. Lots of laundry to do the next day but it was worth it.

To Grandma's House we GO!!!

Road trip to Grammy's!! I took my four little kids and Andrea's kids to Grammys all by myself!! They were great!!
Kyler fell asleep on the way there. I looked behind me and just had to take a picture. Kyler had many MANY more great picture moments this trip.
On the other side of the car this is how my Xavey looked while watching a movie. I think it took four movies to get there.


Bringing in a load of apples from the orchard.

My bro in a tree Taking down a wasps nest for my Mom to put up in her office Kyler Lately when you ask Alissa to smile for the camera she also has to pose by putting her finger somewhere on her face. Silly sweet girl I think Matt and Xavey look alike!! And I LOVE IT!!!! Xavey even runs flat footed like my bro Matt and Koy saying hello Fly Grandpa fly fly away.... lol Family joke Kayleigh and Belle saying hello Alissa cutting and sewing a quilt All the girls working on a quilt. It was Belle and Kayleighs idea and they did a great job and made a very nice looking pattern Warming up my Lissa out in the orchard My beautiful Mother Daxton with a bucket of apples Monkeyin' around What an incredible picture! You gotta blow this one up and frame it Andrea! I sent Matt up a tree for the last apple. While he was climbing I went up a ladder and grabbed it myself and then had him move this way and that way trying to find an apple that wasn't there! I found it hilarious! What a fun little barrel full of cuteness
THANKS MOM!!! Sorry we couldn't come and help with the wood! There is always next year!!!!!
