Welcome back!

I just wanted everyone to know that since I have quit Facebook, and need somewhere to write stuff, that this is where I will do it. Here's hoping that I can do a blog at least once a week. I say hoping in the weakest sense of the word!

Don't you just love to reap the benefits of Homeschooling?........No, I don't mean to say that homeschooling is rewarding, though it is, I mean to say that projects like this one Carter had to do for his art class are a great benefit. I think it turned out very well, don't you? In fact, I have tasted and have seen that it is good. So you see, homeschooling is awesome! This is my favorite cake and frosting too. German chocolate cake with coconut pecan frosting. Mmmmmmmmm so good! I ask for it every year for my birthday.

Christmas Tree Nest

I know, I know, I don't post often enough. But when I do, it's worth it right? Anyway, I'm only here because last year I posted pictures of a birds nest we found in our Christmas tree and this year as I was taking our Christmas tree down, (because enough needles fell of,) I saw another one! Can you believe this...2 years in a row! I know what your thinking, "they are just taking down their tree!" Yes it's true. We were very busy and didn't get to it. But, I digress enjoy the pic's. I know, I'm a loser. I don't post for almost 4 months and when I do it's just pictures of a nest. Haha.

Guess what I was making for dinner that night.

Give up yet? It's Sirloin tips! Man were they good!

God's promises!

This blog speaks for itself. I need say nothing except this was across the road from our house.

We're cookin'!

As a stay-at-home-dad, I get to do some cool stuff. One of these is teaching the kids to cook.

Even at the age of 3 I begin this training.

My older 2 are getting good enough to cook some things alone, and help teach their brother's what they have learned.

Toys are really alive!

One day about 5-6 years ago, we had told the boy that any toys left in the living room when they went to bed would disappear for a while. Well, they went to bed and I found toys out. One of the last toys put away in the closet was a Buzz Lightyear toy. The real one that has Tim Allen's voice. I threw him into the closet and shut the door quick so it couldn't fall out. After we had shut the door we hear Buzz say, " I don't think we're in the gamma quadrant anymore. Lori and I were laughing so hard that we could barely walk.

I told you all of that to tell you this. Today, a similar situation happened. I had asked Alexys to put away her puppy dog that talks and help a child to learn colors, the alphabet, and her body parts. She forgot to do it before starting to eat so in frustration, I took it and threw it upstairs right into her room onto her bed. As it was hurdling through the air, it said, "Bye bye." Again, I was laughing so hard I could hardly walk and was able to share all of this with my kids and had a good laugh with them. It was a good day!
