Why I am blogging......

I started this blog to up-date others on the day-to-day events of our family. As the children grew older, and I grew wiser, I realized I wanted to change my direction, and the children wanted to be ommitted from the blog completely. I hope to still manage to include them from time to time but perhaps just through pictures. I am searching for my niche, and way to help lighten the load of others and perhaps lead others to my savior, Jesus Christ. I am focusing on "What really matters" and hopefully, I can help others in some small productive way. While I am changing gears, I will still be throwing in random thoughts, recipes and etc. I am glad you stopped by and bear with me, as I begin to grow and span my wings and fly in a new direction!

Rain, Rain Go Away



Whew----the rain has a way with my mood!!! Today I have had several rainy thoughts...I wanted to sleep instead I worked, I wanted to eat beef stew, instead I had tacos.. I wanted to paint my bedroom, instead I cleaned. Weird?!

Kyle has made the best of fall break doing whatever comes to his mind!!! Hanging with friends, hunting, sleeping ahhhhhhhh to be a teenager again. Kallie does not get fall break until next week, Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully everyone is having a great week regardless of the weather!!!

Does anyone watch "Good Wife"? If so what happened to the last fifteen minutes last night? Our station changed into something strange????

love and peace to all

Catching up and so on...

Well, if there is anyone out there that even still reads our blog I have been a lousy blogger lately. Life.... sometimes gets hectic and priorities change. Kallie turned 19 this month. Wow, I cannot believe it. It just seems unreal to me that I have one in college and another in tenth grade.

We have been mud bogging and doing well. Three maybe even four second place finishes!!! $$$ and trophies and the thrill of it all is priceless. I hope I never stop enjoying seeing my kids do what they like to do.

Our family and D & D have been to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg over the weekend. Had a blast!!! Go cart racing, Dollywood, Cades Cove, shopping we did the all!!! It is so nice to get away but when you are with family it makes it even better. Pics to follow.

love and peace to all.
