Shhh.. we're hunting..

for eggs. Here is Hunter before the hunt being Mr. Silly.



Hurry run run!!



Shhh don't tell I found these!!







The bunny left plastic eggs with a bit of candy and some even had $1 bills!!

Be back later, after I get back from the First Annual Home and Garden Show hehe!!

(Lots of stitchy pictures coming!!)

Ok now on with the show!

CRAZY Weather!

Monday we had a brief but HUGE flake snowstorm for about 10 minutes! I wasn't able to finish dinner and get out there.

Tuesday night, we had a bit of hail.



Bubba dancing in the hail!!



K and B were going crazy trying to eat it all!!





Ok, next MY WEEK IN STITCHING!

So I tried a rotation this week, only doing whatever bag was for that day! It worked out awesome! Even if I didn't want to put away the piece I did, and I think I look forward to working with each of them more so!

Monday was SMO Say Melons. Before:





After:





Tuesday was SMO Feb 08 Swirl.

Before didn't get on my camera for some reason, but here is after:





I finished with this one sooo quick, I started March! So here is March when I left it Tuesday night while watching Snakes on a Plane.





Wednesday was a UFO. Smile Giggle Laugh by SMO. I had done it in some other colors, but I am so much happier just going with what is called for instead of taking all that extra time to find different ones. So here it is, I didn't get much done on it at all after all that time rip rip ripping. :)



Thursday was the Halloween SMO SAL. Friday was SMO Say Apples. Today I am working on SMO Say Summer. Both apples and summer are UFO's, but I did them in colors I don't like, so most of this week was spent ripping! I haven't taken pictures of any of them yet. I will tomorrow and share!

Have a wonderful, blessed Saturday!

Good Friday!

Good morning everyone! Looks like it might be another beautiful day here. Regardless, I will have a wonderful day. All my chores are done. Spaghetti for dinner!!! Ellie is still home sick, with a fever. Bummer. Jeff took off today. He is going to Pastor's to weld something.

I am not sure I will get back, so everyone have a blessed Easter. I might be back later to share pictures of my stitching, but we will see!!!

Stitch lots!!!

It is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it so much!!! Here it is:









So today I gave the dog a bath, and got a load of laundry done. Everything else was done last night. Tonight we are going to have pork chops, roasted potatoes, salad and corn. YUM!!! Ice cream for dessert. DH got Peanut Butter Cup and Double Fudge Brownie. It is funny because yesterday I was saying to the girls how it would be nice if I had some brownie ice cream and then DH shows up with some!!! We think alike ;) hehe

Looks a bit chilly this AM, but sunny. I can hear lawnmowers going. Woohooo...

Today I am going to work on this UFO/WIP, Walk Worthy:





When it is done it should look like this:

I just love the colors. Heck, I love anything from JJ :) hehehe!!!

Well have a blessed, stitchy Thursday. Off to eat some ice cream ;)

Introducing...

The toothless wonder!!! (I think he will be singing AGAIN this year for Christmas all I want is my 2 front teeth!!)



He lost one of them last Thursday night and then the other one Sunday.



The first one he let his friends talk him into pulling out and then the other one was so loose it was bothering him and he had daddy pull it out!!!

Here is my Honeybee Sampler. It is sooo awesome to see it coming together. I am excited to finish it!!!







Off to get the kids off to school, daddy off to work, and make some phone calls. Also going to take care of my sick girl. Have a wonderful wacky Wednesday!!

Happy Hump day!!!

It is Wednesday! It has been a short week! Monday night was so beautiful everyone didn't come inside until almost 8 pm. Last night we had communion at church so there went that night. It was a beautiful service. We are blessed to have such a wonderful church family.

Today Ellie and Lex have their 6 month dentist appointments but Ellie has a fever so I don't think she will be going. Tonight is also church, so her and I will stay home.

Making some oatmeal for breakfast, with some toast and juice. YUM! Great way to get the day started. Last night I made lunches, took out the recyling, made coffee for Jeff, and got all my chores I could get done then. This morning I will pop our sheets in the wash. Other than that, it is stitch time!!

I will post later, but I can send the end VERY soon!! I have half of a house to go and the lettering on the beige scroll. That is IT!!! Yahoooooo.

Have a blessed morning and stitch lots!!!

Progress!!!

Roger, we have progress!!! I got quite a bit done yesterday. Knowing all the boxes are on there now, and ALMOST done, is quite exciting!!! Take a peek!!







I got all my chores done last night and this morning, with the exception of sheets, which I am working on now. I wish I had a clothesline to hang them out on though.

Regardless, looks like another beautiful day here in the NW. I hope everyone gets a piece of the sunshine today. Many blessings and stitch lots!!!

It is SO quiet I can hear myself think!!!

Ahhhh the sweet sound of silence! Although, we did have a wonderful week, spring break is OVER. Friday night we had the youth rally. We went at 5, helped serve nachos and then had a service. The younger kids like Bubba, they went outside to the bonfire and did smores. Then we took all the teenagers back to town to the middle school gym for a night of finger rockets and noodle hockey. The girls had a BLAST! Noodle hockey was quite aggressive but it was Lex's favorite!

We got done there at midnight. We went back out the next morning at 8. Frank had all the pancakes done so we just helped set up and serve. Then they had 2 services. After that we served chili cheese dogs. YUM!!! I had 2 I couldn't help myself!

We also have the silliest dogs! K was up on her hind legs bouncing around trying to get a shadow on the ceiling. So here she is the crazy dog!!





Everyone was going on just a few hours of sleep, so after we helped clean up, the boys went to The Dalles and us girls stayed home. Had a nice walk and went to the library. Then we took a nap. Sunday we had church. EVERYONE got baptized last night! Praise the Lord. :)

Today and yesterday have been BeaUtiful! I hope to get some shorts and a tshirt on soon and go out and enjoy it a bit.

I pulled out Honeybee Sampler today. Here is what it looks like before I work on it a bit today in between LOTS of laundry!!!







May the frog stay away and may you have a blessed day.

TGIF!!!!!

Ahhh it is FRIDAY!!!! Sun is out, going to be a beaUtiful day here. The boy spent last night at a neighbor's, so it was quiet! It was a girls only night!!!! Today the girls have to get packed for the youth rally this weekend. Looking forward to it. Should be a blessing.

I stitched all yesterday, in between doing dishes and laundry. Here are my efforts!!





I did have a hard time not looking through other stuff wanting to start. I have startitis sooo bad sometimes!!!! The little cat though turned out sooo cute.

Anyway, have a wonderful blessed Friday!!! Stitch LOTS!!!

It's April!

BUT it sure doesn't seem like spring! Monday was cloudy but OK. Tuesday was VERY windy. Yesterday it SNOWED a bit! Today it is rainy and going to be windy. Sat and Sun are very promising though!! Which is great because we have the youth rally!!!

So Friday night Ellie opened her birthday presents and we had cake.







Saturday we went to Yakima, ate at the buffet and took the kids to see Monsters Vs Aliens 3D. Jeff and I saw Race to Witch Mountain. Sunday we had church. Monday Jeff took off and we hiked 6 miles around Multnomah Falls. It was awesome!!!

Here are the kids in a little cave we found:



Here is Lex by the falls.





Every night we have had church, which has ran late. Tonight Jeff has school. Tomorrow night we have the youth rally. Busy busy spring break! It has been good though.
