Good morning! I keep thinking it is Monday! This week is going to mess me up! Anyway, what are you reading? I finished Get Outta My Face by Rick Horne. What a blessing. -- A must read for biblical counseling in the face of today's problems with teenagers.

Now I am on to Unfinished Desires by Gail Godwin. Should be an excellent book. I am excited to read this one!

Sunday we had an awesome day! After church Tracy and Wesley came over. Tracy and I played hand and foot. Then after evening church LennaDee and Caitlin came over and I taught her! We had such a fab time. Then yesterday Caitlin came over for awhile to play with Lex, Ellie had Lacey to play with (she spent the night) and then Tracy came over, we dyed our hair. I can't wait to show it. Hilarious!!! We will stick with liquid dye and not creme! I hope it fades a bit.. lol

So I hope you have a blessed day. Happy reading!

We had such a wonderful time yesterday. The girls did too! Hunter's birthday party was a success. 6 kids showed up. Whew they are a LOT of work! Boys bouncing off the walls, literally! We played games, had pizza, opened presents, bowled and then ate ice cream cake. The bowling alley gave Hunter one of the pins from the lane and had all his friends autograph it for a keepsake. Isn't that awesome!!!

Jeff and I played the WII after we got home last night. Hunter had gone to a friend's, so it was just Ellie, Jeff and I. Jeff boxed so hard he had sweat coming down his face!!!! LOL

Today is church. Then after that, Tracy and LennaDee are coming over to play hand and foot. LennaDee wanted to learn and Caitlyn is spending the night. (They are in the middle of a quick move so I am not 100% on all of this YET!) If they don't come over, I will read my book, Get Outta My Face by Rick Horne.

Have a blessed Sunday. I have no stitchy pictures to show, didn't do anything last night!

Woohoo party day! Today is Hunter's 8th birthday party with his friends at the bowling alley. Ice cream cake, presents, bowling, hot dogs and soda, I'd said that sounds like a pretty good day!

Lex and Britt went with the youth group to a snow day in Yakima. Snowboarding, sledding, bonfire, sounds awesome too!

I got the camera stuff on here, I just forgot my password to photobucket. So if I can't get it today, will just make a new one!

I finished The Inn at Eagle Point. Ended really good!!! I love Sherryl Woods writing. I hope you check her out too!

I didn't stitch yesterday. I hope to tonight after we all meet back up!

I am sooooo glad today is Friday. Tomorrow, no rushing around, no getting up at 5:30! Hooray! A day to sleep in! Tomorrow we are going to the bowling alley for Hunter's birthday party with his friends. Should be lots of fun.

I am so loving working on Song 2010 from JJ. I am ready to work on the other lady but I have to finish the birdhouse on the left first! I think I will start backstitching on the left too, so I don't have it ALL to do at the end!

Still reading The Inn at Eagle Point. It is really good!

Anyone have any awesome weekend plans? Stay warm wherever you are!

Well I have done really well this week! I have posted almost every day so far! Yay me! I have to delete a few programs on this laptop before I can put the camera stuff on, so maybe today will be the day I do that! I would sure love to share my stitchy finishes and show my progress on the one I am doing which when it is finished will look like this:

I have been enjoying stitching it. I am almost done with the whole left side. Now to do the other lady and backstitch! I always love the colors of JJ's charts! So many to make it look so awesome!!!

I am also in the middle of The Inn at Eagle Point by Sherryl Woods. Doing it as a buddy read with Kelly A. So far it is really good. I read almost half of it yesterday it is so good!!

Enjoy the day! Have a blessed one!
