HAPPY

I am so excited this morning. I have been in the process of getting my blog a makeover. And I got a email today and saw the results, and I think it is so perfect for me. So don't be surprised if this boring old page all the sudden looks very snazzy. So be on the gard for the new me!!!!!! By the way did I tell you how happy this has made me.

God Knows All

It was another late night up visiting with friends. So Elisha and Samuel didn't make the long haul of the night. So I had to take a picture of them fast asleep in the recliner. I must say that they are awful cute. God has been real good to us lately and I thought I should voice this real quick. I was getting a little blue lately and feeling sorry for myself. Then God has been giving us some company this past week and it has been so good for me. We had some friends come in from California on thursday night to spend the night. We were invited to dinner on Saturday night by some other friends. And my dear friend Amy (my twin) and her family came over to visit on Sunday. We also had Robert and Crystal come and visit. So the house was full and I loved every minute of it. I think God knows when you are blue and knows how to fill that void. So thank you God for taking care of me.

Where does the time go.....

Wow what a day. I feel as though we got so much accomplished today. The day went so fast and I don't know were it went. Well for starters I got up and did a load of laundry and unloaded the dish washer. I decided to let Lee sleep in for awhile. So at about 9:44 I thought that it was time for him to get up. I can't let him sleep the day away when we have so much to do (right). We got around and went to town to pick up a few things we would need at the house in Drumright that we are redoing. And yes I took plenty of pictures and I will post eventually, but for know I will wait till we have the after pictures also. We meet a friend down at the house to show him what we would like to have done. And I am so excited to get all this done. I think that when it is done I might want to move back in.... hehehehe......As if Lee would ever allow that. But the house is going to look so awesome. I hope someone will come and buy it, who will love it to peices. So here is the download. We already put a new roof on and redid the old water lines. The house had new siding and windows already. And know we are redoing both bathrooms and the kitchen. Then fix the wood floors and recarpet two rooms. Then paint the entire house and put a marble and granite on the fire place. Did I mention the kitchen is getting additional cabinets and granite on the counter tops. It is going to look so nice. I can't wait to get all of this done.

We then came home because we had dinner plans with some friends. We had such a nice time eating a wonderful meal and playing a game of hand and foot. We so enjoy spending time with Robert and Crystal. They are those kind of friends were you can talk about the faith with and yet still have a good old time. I love our spirtual conversations. And I love laughing with them when we just want to be silly. Thank you Crystal for being a good friend who always makes me smile. Well it is getting late and I am real tired. And tomorrow is dinner day and I have nothing prepared. So we will see what happens with that. Good night and I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.

work and more work

A couple of posts ago I showed a picture of my honey cleaning out some of the woods. Well let me tell you something. You should always wear long sleeve shirts and something to cover your face a little. He was such a brave man for cleaning this for me. Well to make a long story short he know hows some poison Ivy. He is doing real good at trying to get rid of it. This stuff can be very bad if you don't get a handle on it quick. He has had it a lot so he knows how to take care of it. But it still is very annoying. And itches very bad. So if you don't mind say a little prayer that it will dry up soon. We have a lot more to clear out and try to kill off. And we are also in the process of trying to fix up our house in Drumright so we can put it up for sell. I plan on taking some pictures of the house so I can post them. We are going tomorrow to do some work and hopefully hire someone to help get it done sooner.

We went and took the kids to see Harry Potter today and it was real good. But we are very big fans. My ten year old son has read all the books and can't wait till the book comes out next week. He will have to fight his dad over who will get to read it first. I am very proud of myself. I have been a homeschool mom for a little while. And when Elisha decided to read the Harry Potter books. I was very impressed, I taught him how to read. Sometimes it just amazes me that I did this. And my 8 year old daughter is starting to take off and enjoy reading also. She has been ables to read for awhile. But she has just decided that its not just a chore. She is actually starting to like it. Whooo hooo. FINALLY.......

Well I hope everyone has a good weekend. And if I remember my camera tomorrow I will take some pictures of the house and show you all.

My Elisha

My Elisha, he is the best little boy. He does so many things for me. I would like to jot down a few things about him so I don't forget them. He is only ten and he is so mature in his thinking at times. He is interested in the bible, always asking questions and wanting his dad to show him where it is in the bible. He helps take care of his little brother. He loves it when Samuel gives him hugs and kisses. Elisha is a very emotional child with a big heart. And I am the proudest mom of this guy. He makes my heart melt. Elisha thinks he is so funny and you can tell that he takes after his father and grandfather. I pray that I can raise him to be a good man who will provide and be ables to take care of a family someday. And so far I think we have done a good job on this little guy. Elisha I love you so much and you are such a great help to me.

Moody Me

Have you ever had one of those days when you just feel sad? Well today is my day. I have noticed that I have been very moody lately. I get upset with Lee for no reason and I don't know how to tell him how and why I am feeling like this. This feeling is the worst for me. I am not one who likes to feel sorry for myself or anyone else to feel sorry for me. I usually don't tell anyone but for some reason, today I feel like typing it down. I guess I am hoping that it will make me feel better if I do this. So know you all know it, I get in my own moods sometimes. I haven't been good about going with Lee to church as much as I should. Not that I didn't go at all, I did. But not every time. With the Parkland meetings last week he went to all of them and I just went to one. Then on Wednesday he went with out me again. I have had a few things that I have been wanting to do lately and we have done none of them. I guess I am a little spoiled. So I get upset and don't go with him to things sometimes. I think it hurts me more than him though. I am not really looking for anybody to understand me or anything. Just someone to listen to me. So I will stop pitting myself and go on to the good.

We have been wanting to work on our yard a little so we went and bought this awesome weed eater that you can push. It is awesome, it will clear a path real good. I was so glad and I can't wait till we get it all done. I took some pictures so I will try to put them on the bottom of my post. We would love to have our yard looking like a little park someday. Have a wonderful day and thanks for listening to me.
