A NEW POST....

I know it has been a long time since I have blogged. We have been soooo busy. I also have to tell you that I have started 2 other posts and each time I never finished and thought that I'd go back to and finish but never did. So I will post this. We are out of school now. We got out on the 22nd. We've been going ever since. Something almost every day. I thought that I'd get a lot done but have not accomplished much. I did get the kids rooms cleaned. That was a chore. I threw out lots of stuff. Faith kept coming in there while I was cleaning and I had to ban her from her room till I was done because she kept pulling stuff out of the trash. Today we were out at the ball field most of the afternoon. I got a sun burn on my legs so bad it even hurts to walk!!! I have not had a burn on my legs in a long time. Today was one the best games. Very intense! On Thursday night Will got hit pretty good in his ribs by the pitcher and I was so afraid that he would be afraid and not stay in the box but he did well. And that was the second time he was hit by the pitcher. The other time he got hit in the head but had a helmet on thank goodness. Those 8 year olds can pitch pretty fast. Oh, they did win!
We have also been grilling a lot. This is our first gas grill. Brent is quite the grill master. He is watching a grilling show right now on the Food Network.. Well, I just looked over and he is asleep!! The kids are watching the food network.
Next week we don't have a bunch of stuff going on but I do need to get ready for VBS which is the next week. I will try and post more.

I have been busy!

I thought that I would show you pics of why I haven't been blogging lately! I have taken up a new hobby and love it. I started embroidering about a year ago. My friend Shelly had one and I feel in love with all the stuff that she could make. (She is very crafty and very good at what she does). She got a new machine and sold me her old one. Needless to say I loved it. I decided to up grade. For those of you that knew that I had up graded about a month ago, that machine didn't work right so I took it back and got my money back and ordered a new one online. It came in on Wed. and I have been playing with it since. Here is a pic of the teacher gifts that I did. It's a flowerpot with their 3 initials. I do have a plant to put in it before I give it to them.

Here is Faith's crocs. I did them this morning in about 45 min. while everyone was asleep. She hasn't seen them yet. It's not the best work but it's the first pair that I did.

Today is a busy day we have Will's game at 1:30 and I have a brunch to go to in about 30 min and I'm not ready yet. I have a couple of towels to do and 2 burp clothes to do today. I hope to post soon again.
