Yes, we are still alive

Believe it or not I am still alive. I know alot of people are surprised since I am doing my best to heal up, take care of a newborn and the three older children. LOL But....trust me... I am not doing it alone. I have had a lot of help. Praise the Lord! Anyway, you know the first thing I have to show are some pictures of Baby K. She is just the sweetest thing ever! Just don't tell me other children that. LOL :-)


My Grandpa and Step Grandma were able to come up to see Baby K (and the other children) on Sunday. I was so glad they were able to come. The family Christmas was Saturday but we couldn't go because of the Upward Soccer award presentation for the children. Anyway. Here is a picture of Grandpa with his newest Great- Granddaughter. :-) ( Edited to add- My Mom came up on Sunday as well...don't want to leave her out)


Do you know how hard it is to get 4 children to sit still for a picture...let alone the rowdy great-grandparents?

You can tell they are all wondering if they are done yet.


Plus the children had a good time trying to figure out what in the world Great-Grandpa was carrying around with him. They liked to listen for the noise it made. :-)


I almost forgot to show pictures from the soccer awards program this past Saturday. I don't have any good pictures. The lighting...and sitting further back in the sanctuary made it hard to get a decent picture. I can't remember the details of the lady that was there except that her last name is Yoder, her husband is a cabinet maker in Plain City, she is originally from South Dakota and the youngest of 12. She did all sorts of tricks and things with basketballs. Big T even got to spin the basketball on his finger. She tried to have Little E do it too, but he moved his finger and he got hit in the face with the basketball. :-( Oh well...they all enjoyed it. She pulled a lot of people from the audience to do some of the tricks and stuff with her.


Because I couldn't figure out the right setting for the camera I didn't get a picture of Sweet E's team (half weren't there) but I did get this picture of Big T and his team at least.


Ever since seeing Mrs. Yoder do tricks with basketballs on Saturday Big T has spent majority of his time outside the past two days getting better at dribbling and trying a few tricks of his own. :-)

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
