What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I'm working on a birthday banner currently and also organizing old family photos into photo albums. I also need to get back into my crochet.

Looking forward to:::
Easter this weekend and Scottie's birthday tomorrow. I can't believe my baby is turning 5!

Looking around the house:::
It's a quarter to 9 and Scottie is opening up all of her presents she got at her party yesterday. The trash pile on my kitchen counter is growing by the minute. The big kids are at school and the house could use some picking up from the kids messes all weekend. Shawn's working upstairs and says he may wrap some presents while listening to his work training.

From the camera:::
Right before Scottie's birthday party yesterday. They big kids and Shawn had run down the street to do the very last of her birthday shopping, so we sat in the car right outside the party place and waited for them to help us carry the cake and cooler inside. She was so excited. It was her first big party with friends and we invited her whole preschool class as well as a few kiddos we're friends with outside of that.



What I'm wearing today:::
At the moment, jeans and a black v neck tshirt. I'm sure in a bit I'll change into shorts.     

One of my simple pleasures:::
Nice hot coffee on a chilly morning.

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers::: 
Praying for good news back on a friend's test results. 
Also praying for an easy dentist trip with Ben. He's getting a cavity filled and his last 2 baby teeth pulled since they aren't coming out at all and his adult teeth are crowding. He's nervous, so praying for his calming too.

So good to see you posting on the blog :)

I hope Scottie has a fantastic birthday, it's crazy that she is 5 years old, what in the world, I remember you pregnant with her.

I hope you have a super fantastic week my friend, and yes, I got my mammogram results back yesterday and everything is normal :)

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

By
Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
