Princess Balls and Bike Riding

We are heading to NYC in the morning. And I should be packing right now instead of typing, but I haven't shared in so long. I have been prepping for this trip for a while. Trying to get caught up on school work and such. But I wanted to do a quick catch up for everyone. The middle of April brought a special bonding time for Sweet E and Beloved. A local church held a Princess Ball with a wonderful meal and speakers. Sweet E loved getting all dressed up like a princess. She was so happy to get her Papa all to herself. Next year is a mother/son dinner (Knights of the round table) I can't wait to go!


The same day of the ball brought along a big milestone for Big T. He learned how to ride his bike! I am so proud of him. For learning how to ride without training wheels....he chose chocolate cupcakes with ganache icing. To make them even better I added a peanut butter filling. They were fantastic!






Well, I should get back to packing. Expect a lot of pictures from our trip next week!

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...
