Happy New year!!

I know it`s a little late but better late than never right?

For New Years we went to the museum with a whole bunch of friends to celebrate. I hear they stayed up till 12:00pm but we had to leave just because we have little ones that couldn`t take it. Not to mention we had church the next day.
Then Tuesday we went to a neighbor-hood gathering in Everson. they even had two home-made pinatas!
Gracie and Elijah whacked those things so hard! I tried to get a picture but the lighting was bad and they always turned out blurry. next time I`ll have pictures for you though.

Here are some pictures I took with my laptop camera. Notice on picture number two Micah is. missing one of his front teeth? He is so proud of losing his first tooth.:)

I`m Back in Business!!!

Caroline and Alexis I am know you are sick of coming to my blog and seeing Lydia`s birth photos because you have said that almost every time I see you:). Lydia turned 6 months old on Christmas Eve and is now sitting up and somewhat crawling. I think this verse accurately describes what my mom and dad`s goals are for life-

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.

Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!

Psalm 127:3-5 

We just came home from a fun filled day at two parks (Cornwall and Elizabethan),going out for lunch at Cascade Pizza and I can assure you they have the best ham sandwich there is.

we ordered two large Canadian bacon pineapple, one large chicken garlic, two free spaghetti's(for Elijah and Grace), and one ham sandwich( for me). Between all of us there was not a morsel left:)

 

nothin` much

I`m sure you`re sick `n` tired of Lydia`s birth photo:)

Better picture of "Diddy" as we like to call her:)

Yiga with his funny face........

...........and now he is trying to get as much attention as the baby:)

He`s so cute `cause when the camera comes he`s right there to show off for it!!

We`ll be going to bender fields to skate and ride our bikes tomorrow.

We will need to bring plenty of band aids



IT`S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had like thousands of friends so I could just keep telling people!!

Anyway....our new little one weighs 8 pounds 13 ounces and was born at 1:58 PM.

Odds and Ends

I`m at my grandma`s so that explains no pictures....again. But I did find my camera so I WILL take pictures of the horse I`m training for those of you who havn`t seen her. Her name is Starlene and she has Angel`s(her mama) temper so that`s nice:) She`s a Quarter horse/Saddle bred cross. This isn`t her,it`s a random picture that I thought was pretty.

                                       I love Craigslist. I can get the prettiest horse pictures there:)

Sick,Kittens,Weather...etc.

Sorry I havn`t been posting.(don`t say it Lexi :)

I would post pictures but my camera is lost and my mom`s camera is wacking out:P

This morning four children(including me:( came down with the stomach flu. My mom was up every hour or so talking care of children that were throwing up.

To change the subject over to a more cheerful note, God has given us some beautiful weather and me and the boys set up the tent. We have been sleeping in it for 3 nights. We went swimming down at the arrogation pond. It is the biggest "swimming pool" we could want.

What is your favorite verse?

Mine is Proverbs 3:5-8

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge  Him and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes,fear the Lord and shun evil. For it will be health to your body and strength to your bones.

Emma`s earings

Sorry of the poor quality of these pictures. I couldn't`t get my camera to focus. But anyway Emma made these earrings and she would like to make a small business making these. She is going to take the money from these to buy more material and make more. She has made many more so if you arn`t interested in buying one of these pairs but want a different design or you can`t see them clear enough just email me at 1keeperathome@gmail.com.

 

 

 

My goodness, this is poor quality. I am so sorry.

Things I`ve been doin`

I am soooo sorry I havn`t bloged in a while. I`v been busy making soap with my Mom. We`ve had baby rabbits, chicks, goats, and puppys born, and there are Red Bourben chicks on the way!! 



My finished beeswax candle

More Pictures

I`m not much of a tipest if you havn`t noticed. I just like blogging pictures and a explanation to go with them:) But I`m sure you like pictures.

Isn`t this so pretty? I love the reflections in the water.

I was looking out the window and saw this. The sun was shining on it to where the snow was blazing white and there is a little wisp of a cloud coming off the top of the mountain. It is so neat how God puts those simple things to bring a little bit of joy to my day.



My mom owned this before she and dad where married so I consider it a privilege to inherit this piece of her furniture. It is so nice to be able to hide things from my siblings(namely Gracie:) in the jewelry-box because it`s higher up now;)

This is one of our many Leghorn hens scratchin` away.

Oh......and our goats are due to have babies any time now:) Go to my Mom`s blog here to see pictures of our pregnant goats.

My Big-pig

 We moved my big-pig down-stairs and he is lovin` it!



He gets fed ALOT more carrots, apples, parsnips, and chips(the last being fed by a suspicious 1 yr old:)

He`s So cute!!

Ohhhhhh.............And for those who don`t know my mom went in for an ultrasound and it`s defiantly going to be a girl! Now we`ll have 4 boys and 4 girls!
