Journey

About 2 months ago our little family unit started dashing down a pathway of eating whole foods and eliminating processed foods from our meals and snacks.
We've started buying grain berries, fresh veggies and fruits, lean meats, lentils, beans, etc. We invested in a grain mill and I unearthed the bread machine I was gifted with ten years ago. It has been frustrating but also satisfying when trying to cook and bake with ingredients that carry the same name but are in different form.
So I'll use this blog to chronicle our journey through season we are in.

Bar B Cue, buggy ride, and calf roping

Saturday we attended a barbecue and Lil Man had a blast! He even roped a dummy calf by one horn.

T-Ball Season Again :)

Practice has begun... :)

One Day Is All I Need

Most people dream of new cars, new homes, spectacular vacations....

Me? I dream of quilting stores and book stores. How luxurious it would be to go in a fabric store and wander through it looking at the different fabrics, browsing the notions and looking at the quilty books and magazines. Just. To. Look.

Ahhh- but then reality sets in and i remember i have a five year old and a sixty- five year old.

It's ok to dream sometimes, right?? 😊

Are You Ready?

My Lil Man keeps reminding me when Christmas is :) He has his plans made. He's ready.

I know when Christmas is. I have no plans made. I am ready.

We have two different views of what Christmas day will be like.

Christmas Season

Happy Thanksgiving

This day brings family, friends, food and fun. Most of all we are thankful for every blessing we have received  and will receive.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Fair

We took Lil Man to the fair in a neighboring town. Nice day to walk around and enjoy the sunshine. The baby goats liked him too :)

Short Trip

Lil Man and I took a short trip last month and I didn't blog it. Here he is having a little fun.

Last Game :(

T-Ball season has wound to a close. Last game is this evening. Lil Man is warming up for a good game. He wants to try wrestling so we will keep that in mind.

So Humbled :)

Last Thursday evening at Lil Man's t-ball game, the coach told the boys to run a lap around the inside of the fence surrounding the field before their game started. As they all darted off, Lil Man looked back and saw the smallest player running far behind so he doubled back and ran side by side. I heard the boys mom say Lil Man was now her second favorite player because he cared so much. Very humbling...

Little League T-Ball!

Has started. He's enthusiastic... He's full of energy and spirit... He likes to pick the grass off short stop by the handfuls and gets distracted making spiderman imprints in the dirt with his shoes :)

Sweet Southern Iced Tea

Some have to have coffee, some have to have a soft drink, some require milk or juice. Me?? Sweet iced tea. It's the only morning pick- me- up that'll do.

A Pocket Full of Posies

The embroidery for the quilt square for my mom's Mother's Day gift is finished, pressed, and trimmed up. Here is a pic of the layout with the other blocks (they are 13 years old!) I've made to put in it.

Uh, please excuse the toes :)

Unfinished Project

I've discovered embroidery soothes my mind just as much as quilting. With one preschooler and a toddler there isnt time right now for me to cut pieces to make quilt tops so I've been keeping busy with this. There's still a lot to do on it before i turn it into a small quilted gift. I'll post the end result when it's completely finished.

Happy belated Valentine's Day!

We gave chocolates, flowers, little momento gifts, nice dinners, homemade treats, and cards to express our feelings.

The best part for me is spending time with these two little people.

Companionship

I think that one word sums it up :)

Checkers

A night game of checkers at Little Man's favorite restaurant.
