Life is full of up's and down's. We don't know our timing this is the place I come to write thoughts about, Family, quilting and crafts that bring peace and mental calmness. Surviving cancer and the scars still healing. The journey that has led me to know God our father. The journey I am still on that still has trials of faith.

I Love Birthday presents....
Tomorrow is my birthday, and to my surprise my family came over today with presents and cake.
I was surprised! These to me are the best, being remembered without asking.
I forgot to take a picture of my family and the cake, but I did take picture of my presents for you to see.....
They are all perfect...
Arla my sister gave me this book and all the fabric and the batting to make this heart shaped quilt. I have drooled so much over this quilt ever since the very first time I saw it. I was so surprised to receive this gift. I am excited I love this quilt.
Here is a closer look at the fabric. So country and romantic. I am itching to cut into them.
My sweet sweet niece. She has her birthday one week after me. She will be Ten this year.
She asked me to teach her to crochet, way back.
We don't get alot of time. She has practiced and practiced and practiced .
Today she gave me something she made for me! How awesome....
Thank you Madison, Aunt Tara will treasure for ever.

Friday Funnies
In our house most of the time it is my 8 yr old. He comes up with some crazy off the wall things.
I am not sure where it comes from, since we are a TV free home. The kids on occasions get to play the PS2 or watch a movie.
When he was a baby he would imitate sounds, perfectly!
Recently the things he likes to say and I am sure I am missing many,
calling me; "Sweet lips","Babe","Big Mama".
Here are some of his lines..
Call him to come back, his response is "baby come back"
"How u do'in"
"You got it babe"
"scientist don't have to do school work and I am one"
"Hi I am Bob" not sure what this means.
I said "stupid", over something the other day, I hear "rated R language" from the other room.
He loves a reaction and loves to make his momma laugh.
Here is a picture of my comical keep me on my toes Pooh Bear.
To have more laughs hope on over to Kim's blog and visit all the links.

Another one down
Hope you don't have a weak stomach
You can no longer even find the strawberry. The bread is not even recognizable. Really is truly amazing how the mold engulfs everything.
The science curriculum we are using this year is "Considering God's Creation". The kids have just loved it.

Outside my window....it is dark still for I don't see the sun beginning his rise. I know it will be shortly.
I am thinking...the phone woke me up with a job call, but hubby is on a big job so I can't work right now.
I am thankful....for the a chance that we maybe able to save our home.
I am wearing...my teddy bear nightgown to early to be dressed and going.
I am remembering...my babies when they were babies.
I am creating...finished the 2nd pair of socks. I didn't like the knitting pattern for this pair will go back to my original. Had this short row decrease where you slip wrapped a stitch it left hole no matter how you came back through to pick up the wrap. Now on to the 3rd pair this time for a wonderful niece that I just love so....
I am going....to strings today for my children.
I am reading....not doing reading still outside of school books.
I am hoping...calm week
On my mind...room planning and thoughts of what can go to make room for two boys to move into one room together.
From the learning rooms....today much around the house, then to strings. I will get in some book work with the younger two. Poppy is almost ready for the second grade books and Pooh bear just started the third grade.
Noticing that...my husband does care for me even when I feel he doesn't. The key word feel. Feelings are deceptive, we know in our heads God loves us, so why do we put so much pressure on our husbands to make us feel their love.
Pondering the words....ever ponder the words after a church service I have...but this week it is an action...Watching our Pastor circle and pray over a mother and daughter on Sunday. The mother is very sick and today is a very important day with test results due. Many prayers are being prayed her way today.
From the kitchen...coffee is fresh brewed, smells so good.
I am praying...for all of God's blessing's and provisions. For our home.
I am hearing....the bird waking and eating his morning seed. The fan on the computer.
Around the house....work to be done, ironing is over half way finished. Don't no why I allow it to pile up.
A few plan for the rest of the week.....the normal, school books, kids choir and string class. Pooh bear was promoted to his 3rd grade books last week. Trying to make this a big deal for him.
Here is a picture thought I would like to share with you.....Poppy who is only 6 yrs old took this picture, a photographer in the mist? Sunset last week...

Outside my Window.....the is beginning to shine. My eyes have opened here and there watching as the the sun say it's Good Morning..
I am Thinking...about the grocery shopping. This week the menu is planned out. I need to try getting somethings cooked up a head of time, for our busy days.
I am Thankful for...the opportunity for exercise. I have been blessed with walking children from one school to another for string class. Kids are great and I get to work out. I have been feeling it everywhere. Yeah!
From the learning rooms....Friday very productive had couple extra heads and hands. Not very often does this happen, but when it does I make use of them. Today will be math and life skills, kids do the grocery shopping with me always have.
From the Kitchen...tonight steaks and veggies and fresh fruit. Rest of the week plan Country Fried steak, taco's, Manicotti, Pizza and Turkey with stuffing.
I am wearing....Capri's and one of my favorite tops with my new walking sneakers. I needed walking shoes so bad, sweet hubby was so nice and he spent last week finding GOOD walking sneakers. I was fitted and everything, felt spoiled!
I am creating....new pair of socks for Poppy this time. I have a project for someone else I need to get started on very soon.
I am going....grocery shopping, drop of f hubby at a job where his truck is already.
I am reading...nothing. Time is against me with a good book and creating comes first.
I am hoping...for a smooth week.
I am praying...thanking God for all the blessings and kept promises. I am also praying for a friend who is struggling.
I am hearing...quiet,quiet and more quiet. No one is up yet. I love this time up before everyone else.
Around the house...thinking of changes with bedrooms. We spent time yesterday cleaning and throwing from at least one bedroom.
A few plans for the rest of the week....concentrating on school, choir, and string class. Begin planning next weeks meals so shopping is on Saturday or Friday. Monday is not the day normally.
Here is a picture thought I would like to share with you...My son was outside waiting to leave when the butterfly landed. We were all so amazed we looked it up and found it to be a Viceroy they are colored like the Monarch so that enemies will leave them alone. Monarches are poisons to their prey. We love homeschooling.....for times like this.
