The Big Date

These are from last year.

Tonight My husband and I are going on a date and Christmas shopping.... Im so excited to things I like the most... My husband and shopping. I am a country gal but I sure do like to go shopping... Don't know why... I hate having so much stuff...lol Well we are going to eat Italian "my favorite" then going over to the walmart and get a few gifts and stocking stuffers.. Well It is not even 8am and Im on the computer blogging...lol My kids are all fed and standing around watching me. I hope to get a few pictures of John and I tonight. Here are some cute pictures of the kids... there old but I like to reminisce ..

Still.... the ..... Flu.....

Now Emma and John and Faith and Joseph are throwing up and or the other...hmmm not so nice thing...... I started to feel queasy again this afternoon and am downing peppermint tea... It really dose help... Well Emma and Faith seem to be better already its just like a once or twice throw up and its over and Joseph has been on the couch all day with a tummy ache... well its cold out side and we have our nice wood stove... I even cooked dinner on it and am making Johnny cakes on my cast iron tonight.... I love cast Iron.... It is my very favorite....

Also a very funny story. Ty got a pocket knife for Christmas from Derek and well he had it about 10 min and went out side and wanted to cut some grass which I was supervising ....but he still stuck him self in the head....hmmmm I apparently was not watching good enough. Well have a warm week and stay inside if you can.. Love you

A long Weekend.

Troy and Christina Edwards

Girls having fun

Fight Fire.. with Fire

This is how I cook with the children..lol

Last week was a blur.. The Edwards family came to stay with us for 3 days and they have 6 children and we had fun. It was alot of work cooking and cleaning after 13 children and 4 adults but I survived... They live in Iowa and we do not get to see them often so it was nice to fellowship with them. They left on Friday and so I thought that I would rest over the weekend and just sew since John went out of town to go hunting in Gould and I was up late sewing and having fun and started to feel a little quisey and had a heaad ache.... so I went to bed only to wake up in the middle of the night throwing up.... so all day saturday i laid around and to day sunday i am feeling a little better. AND I AM NOT PREGNANT...LOL All of my girlfriends have mention this lol... but I have never gotten sick with any pregnancy. And I hurt like a truck had run me over... not the same i dont think.. but John did shoot another buck and so he will be home on Sunday night. Hope you have a great week and that no one gets this bug. And hope my kids do not... here are some random pictures. and a funny video. Love ya
