Proof

Would you like a glimpse into how quiet my life usually is?  Let's look at Sunday afternoon. We're all relaxing after church, and a nice lunch of Spanish Rice.  I made chocolate chip pumpkin cookies

(still have a lot of pumpkin from the garden to go through!)
 and Devin is working on grilled cheese sandwiches and rice pudding for dinner.  The girls were playing...


...and this is what I wish my life looked like all the time. If I fooled you into thinking this is typical, I apologize.  I do appreciate it whenever I get it.  (Listen closely to what Hallie is saying, there are some real gems in there.)

What do you like to do on Sunday afternoons?

    No pressure or anything Amy, but you make my day happier whenever I read a new blog or see a posting on facebook! Almost like when Ken was on his mission and I got a weekly email! It makes me feel much more connected. Thanks!

    SO CUTE. "Oh, I love those guys!" Awww! I must say though that Uncle Brandon got a bit of the shaft. Haha. And the other uncles, too, but at least they had wives to get a shout out. I am so impressed by Hallie's "work." And haha I thought it was funny that when Hanna made her toy fall on the floor, instead of you picking it up and putting it back on the fridge for her, you walked away to go see Hallie. Haha. Hanna didn't seem to mind!! Um . . . can you mail me some cookies? Okay, just send me the recipe. I've never made them from an actual pumpkin instead of a can of pumpkin.

    Interesting article you got here. It would be great to read a bit more about this matter. The only thing I would like to see on that blog is some pictures of some devices.

    It's a tradition in our house to come home from church, eat spaghetti, and take a nap. I saw pumpkin cookies at the store in Idaho and thought, "Eww. Pumpkin?" Yeah... definitely one of the most DELICIOUS things I've ever had in my mouth! (They were mini pumpkin chocolate chip sandwiches, with frosting in the middle. Mmmmmmm...)

    You fortunante momma! They play so well by themselves!. I must say though, I do get them all to nap after a good lunch and a few minutes of play on Sundays, and they sleep for good three hours! Church is draining!

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
