"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." ~ Doug Phillips

Sanctity of Life....

Something that is near and dear to my heart....the ability to choose life. Now I am going to avoid my soapbox here...but I would ask that you take some time and listen or watch this. Carol Everett is a woman who has been through abortion, helped sign others up for abortions, and had a change of heart and became a pro life advocate. Carol also tells how sex education in Public Schools is paid for by abortions. Just another reason why I choose to HOME SCHOOL my children. Please note that there are some difficult pictures at the beginning of this...just turn your head to the side. This message is IMPORTANT.

You are Welcome to your opinion, just as I am Welcome to mine.

Choose Life, Choose ADOPTION over ABORTION.

Soap Lovers.....

SOAP IS ART! Picture from My Natures Art Soap. http://mynaturesart.net

Who doesn't love a good smelling soap? If you just raised your hand or said "not me" YOUR WEIRD!


Thanks to Kimberly at My Nature's Art Soap, I am hooked! She graciously let me try some bar soap and some whipped soap. I love the smells and the bar soap feels like silk. Wilfred loves the whipped soap for shaving. I love this soap so much I am doing my first GIVEAWAY!
The above slice of soap is one of the few wonderful offerings Kimberly has at http://mynaturesart.net
To enter leave a comment telling me something about soap. On March 6th I will put all the comments in a hat and let my kids pick the winner. I will send the winner some awesome My Nature's Art Soap!

6 weeks of Life with 4 Kids.....

Joel is 6 weeks old this week and doing well. Growing like a weed. He is huge!!! We are all adjusting to having 4 kids in the house. We have been ever so busy with homeschooling and just plain life. Get ready for a picture overload as I catch up on our life for the last 6 weeks.
Joel is 1 week old here, his shirt says 'Everyone knows I was born this cool!" The Grandma and Great Grandma holding the 2 baby cousins. My mom is holding Joel and her mom is holding my Nephew Jeremiah. Jeremiah and Joel are exactly 1 month apart.

Lindsy in one of her more crazy fashions. If you can't get your cape to stay on, just use your winter hat.
Clayton loving on his brother.

A bad case of the stinkbugs in this house! Maybe those are just showoffs instead.

2 Weeks old and full of smiles!
We love our Moby Wrap!
Daddy helped the kids build a gingerbread train.

Rub a Dub Dub....kids in the tub.
Joel's first real bath. It took 3 weeks for his cord stump to fall off. He is 3 weeks old here and loves the bath.
Great Grandpa Cliff holding Joel on Christmas Day.
Lindsy was beginning to feel a bit left out. So I decided that she was old enough to have her first 'REAL' haircut. The woman who did it was so sweet with her. I took her to the Style place in our local Walmart. Lindsy loved it and felt quite pampered...I may have created a monster!


Sleeping with Daddy
A Costco Shopping Cart full of Kids. I had to push a cart of kids while Wilfred pushed the cart of goods. Thank goodness for HUGE shopping carts!
Kaleb playing with his workbench.
Joel 4 weeks old.
Wild Man.....he goes like this all day long. He is a walking natural disaster....leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
1 Month old!
Like I said WILD!

Clayton sent us to the Emergency Room on 1/13. This was our first ER trip for a child. We made it 6 years without one....hopefully we will make at least another 6 years. Clayton fell and hit his head on the tile at my mom's office. He didn't brace for impact or anything...just full force crash to the side of his head. His ear swelled and turned purple immediately. It also left an imprint on his skull. I was scared good as he had a bit of a hard time remembering things. They did a CT scan at the hospital and all looked fine. We have one VERY EXPENSIVE picture of Clayton's brain on our fridge. His ear is purple and quite large and flappy. Other than a good concussion he seems to be fine. Scared us all good!
Baby Joel 6 weeks old fresh from a bath with lots of cute baby chubs!
Also on Monday, Kaleb took a tumble down our flight of 13 stairs. He hit every one on the way down. Clayton screamed and cried certain that Kaleb would be dead. I was prepared to head for the ER again. But he seems fine, a bit bumped and bruised,but fine. He still has no fear of the stairs, but we all hold our breath when he goes near them.
Hope you have enjoyed all our pictures.
