This week is a little busy but not too bad. All the girls have dental appointments today. So far, Miss Priss had a perfect check up! Yay for her! We were told by the dentist to plan on braces for her in about 2 years. Yep, I knew that would happen.

Wednesday night for Activity Days we are going to be learning how to make bread. We will supply the bread for our next sacrament meeting which will be the 13th of February since we have stake conference this next weekend. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope the girls learn something new and fun.

I'll be posting more later. . . I've gotten pretty bad at not blogging. . . guess that's what happens when life is busy. . .

What's Missing?

Yesterday, the family took a full inventory of what treasures were in the freezer. I set my mind this morning that I wanted broccoli cheese soup. So, before I pulled out the broccoli to allow it to thaw, I referenced my list so I could cross it off. Here is what I read on my list:

• 2 creamed corn
• 6 bags corn on the cob
• 1/2 bag corn niblets
• 3 bags baby lima beans
• 2 bags fordhook lima beans
• 2 bags purple hull peas
• 1 bag field peas with snap beans
• 2 bags butter beans
• 1 1/2 bags peas and carrots
• 3 bags asperagas
• 1 bag peas
• 2 bags speckled butter beans
• 1 bag tater tots
• 1/2 bag hash browns
• green chili (lots)
• 1 1/2 bags baby california blend
• 1 bag cut green beans
• 2 1/2 sams club bags whole green beans
• 1 1/2 sams club bags normandy blend mixed vegetables
• 2 boxes chopped spinach

NO BROCCOLI!!!!!! Seriously!

Yep, That Smile

Remember when your kids were little and you could get that super special smile. Yes, the one that would melt your heart. You knew it was for you because of the great bond and love you have for one another. The day has come where "that smile" isn't just for us anymore. Diva is giving her smile to another someone special. Her first boyfriend, Mr. K, is stealing our smiles.

Please Tell Me This Happens To You Too. . .

I spent the day at home today waiting for Big Daddy's new shed/workshop to arrive but that didn't happen - the truck broke down so we are supposed to be the first delivery in the morning. Yay!



It's pretty cold here today. I think it might have gotten up to 38 degrees. Pretty chilly if I do say so myself.



I wandered out to check the mail and should have grabbed a sweater or a jacket but I didn't. I was moving quickly but became very curious about something in one of our burn piles. You take a look. . . (it's a bit yucky so you are warned)



What do you think that is?? I think it's a cows spine, that's what Big Daddy thinks too. Some dog must have drug it into our yard (Patch of Heaven). Seriously gross, huh?! The funniest part is when I showed the girls, Drama Queen was facinated and wanted to be the one to show everyone else. I headed back in to the warmth of the house and let her share the discovery. I was only able to observe through the window but you would have thought all the girls lost a long time family pet. The looks on their faces were so sad - guess that's life in the country - you never know what the dog will drag home (even if it isn't your dog). . .
