Where are you?

Where is the sun? Yesterday I thought I saw it for about 30 seconds. Please come back Mr. Sun. We all really really need to see you!

Nice surprise

Ethan and I were driving home from the RF library this morning and what did we see? A bald eagle and his mate. VERY COOL. They were both perch in a tree and when we came to a stop the lady eagle took off very majestically, but the male bird just stayed there feathers ruffling in the wind. What a beautfiful site. Too bad I didn't have my camera with.

Dirty Little Secret

I have a dirty little secret. Well, it's not a secret. I am a HORRIBLE housekeeper. I can't keep up and when I do have the time, I am too tired to do anything and I squander it away watching TV. Horrible, Horrible, horrible. How do all the neat freaks do it. I just can't wrap my brain around keeping a housekeeping schedule. GRRR. My prayer is that I can get grip on this and never let go.

What are your tips for cleaning?

Well what do you know

Hey, figured out how to get back on my blog AGAIN. Everyone calls me the powerpoint princess, but I can't even get onto my own blog. Something's wrong there. I will attempt to blog every day, but need to figure out how to set up the links etc. More later...

'bout time

Well, about time huh. I finally got into my blog to post something and don't have anything to blog about.

Gonna sew sew sew today and try to whip out another quilt for Lindsey's benefit for SMA. Please go to www.fsma.org for more information.

Lost in cyberspace

Finally, am able to get back into my blog to actually blog something. For some reason, blogger kept telling my that my blog didn't exist. Whatever...finally in.

Ethan got to lick the bowl today for the first time. We made chocolate cupcakes. He did well. see for your self...

Sermon

Dave Gunnlaugsson gave a GREAT sermon this morning. What is your portion? Is the Lord enough for you? It made me think about alot of things in my life. Thanks Lord for giving this message to us throught Dave. The scripture was from Lamentations 3:21-26.

Stitched By T

Well, I was told today that I need to Blog again. I finally got it working. Horray!

Anyway, not to much to write about today...Ethan had a GREAT christmas. He made out like a bandit from the grandma's and grandpa's. My favorite moment was Christmas morning and he told his Papa Art, "you can have my candy cane of m&m's Papa"-- it was so cute. He's such a great kid.

Test message

Ouch that hurts!

Today E and I had to go pick up daddy from work, as his van his getting rust repairs. On our way to Woodbury, Ethan says "Mom, your my hero." I said, "thanks baby, what about daddy", to this he replied, "nope, daddy's not a hero".

Ouch -- Poor Bri!

Your my hero babe!

Good Christian fiction

I've just completed book 2 in the series "Sister Circle" by Vonette Bright and Nancy Moser. What a great mental mini getaway they have been. Thank you God for giving me the gift of loving to read.

Back from the Sound

Well..I returned Sunday back from the Puget Sound. What a beautiful place to live. My dad's side of the family had a family reunion out in Washington state. It was fun seeing family members that didn't know I was coming.

Top three moments of my trip:

1. Hitting golf balls of the cliff of my Great uncles back yard into the puget sound (then going and collecting them during low tide).

2. Taking a ferry ride (with our car) for the first time.

3. Catching salmon jerky at Pike's Place Market.

It's good to be home. Ethan is finally talking to me again for being gone for so long!

Banner Day

E used the BIG potty today! Very first time, I missed it though he was at the sitters big thanks to you Debb!

What a glorious day.

No more diapers is in the forseeable future. I cannot wait!

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Prayer Needed

I just received a call from my mom and her brother, Bob, called her tonight and told her he only has 5 months to live. He is only 54. Is is also not a Christian. We don't know exactly what's wrong, just that he is not well.

Thanks friends, for your prayers!

God Bless you!

Didn't expect that

Bri and I took E to the MN Zoo yesterday. He saw the zebras, the sharks and even went to the petting zoo at the farm. After we were home, Bri asked E what his favorite part of the zoo was. He said "the poop".

Deal of the Month

So, my sister is getting married in 10 days, and I needed to find a dress for the wedding. I went to David's Bridal too look at the colors of the bridal party so I wouldn't clash. I pick out three dresses, pale yellow, lavendar and a deep plum. I fell in love with the yellow one right away but after trying it on wasn't thrilled with the fit. Then, I tried on the lavendar dress and loved it, but was concerned that it would clash with the candy red of the bridesmaid dresses. So then, I tried on the plum one.

IT WAS THE ONE! I just loved it--the fit, the color and everything.

I went up to the counter to pay for it and took out my checkbook while the sales lady bagged the dress. She said, "that will be $29.99 please" I had to do a double take at the price tag, "really, I said the price says $59.99," and she said "I know it's another 50% off".

I did the happy dance of joy! What a deal. Anyway enough of my boring "blog".

God's blessings to you all today!

Butt

While I was putting on E's shoes this afternoon he asked me "Where's my butt mom?" I said, "I don't know E, where's your butt"? He responded..."I'm sitting on it!"

Calgon

I am having a "calgon take me away" morning...I love E, but he is VERY winey this morning....of course he is...it's a weight watchers meeting day. He is always cranky when I have to go there. UGH Calgon, Take me Away!

E, PLEASE STOP WINING!

Father, please give me have loads and loads of patience today.

Amen

Question

What is black and white and red all over?

bear in the house

Woke up yesterday morning and Bri and I were listening to the kiddo sleep over the baby monitor. A strange noise was coming from his room. I realized that E was snoring---not just little sounds...a full out SNORE! I didn't realize that sleeping toddlers could make such a noise.

Well...I found out who was snoring...

It must have been the bear...not my sweet little boy.
