Molly is definitely taking that little trip to the

vet in a few weeks!

And the winner is....

Jennifer

over at

*A Day in our household*

You can thank Ethan for picking your number ;o)

I will e-mail you your pattern...hope you enjoy it!

*I like giving away stuff...I think next time I will
give away a little something I can put in the
mail-box (not e-mail) ;o)* 

~Another Pattern Give-away~

I have another pattern to give-away!

It's called the

'Sweetest Little Dress'

I purchased it a few months ago, made a couple

of the dresses and decided it's not what I'm looking for...

This pattern is a PDF download and it's a pretty easy 

pattern to follow! PLUS...The pattern can be altered to make

at top instead of a dress simply by shortening the length.

To enter just leave a comment.

I will # the comments & randomly choose a number to

pick a winner.

As I said in my last pattern give-away...I'm sure your odds

will be pretty good...since most of my blog friends do

not sew ;o)

Winner will be chosen on Sunday, April 18th.

One way to tell the difference...

...between a city girl and a country girl is...

...by their conversation. ;o}

On the way home from Food-Rite (the back way) we

passed a few cow pastures...the windows were down, the

weather was beautiful...but the smell was most un-pleasant...

courtesy of the cows. ;o)

Kayla asked...

"Do you know the difference between horse poop and

cow poop?"

Of'course I do ;o) I was raised in a family of farmers...

but curious to hear her explain...I asked, "What?"

...and she said, "Horse poop looks like balls and cow

poop looks more like a pie."

SO-that's how you tell a country girl from a city girl.

Ha-You can't get that kind-of education in the city. ;o)

I'm glad Kayla's a country girl!

Congratulations Dalton!

I cannot believe it!

Not that he passed...hehehe...

He's actually a pretty good driver...now. ;o}

Of'course...we did have that little mis-understanding about how

a green light doesn't always mean you have the right of

way......right Court? ;o}

...BUT now that we have that settled, he does just fine.

I just can't believe that I'm old enough to have a kid who

is old enough to have their driver's license ;o{

Boy, time sure does fly by quickly!

CONGRATULATIONS Dalton!

You did awesome and we are very proud of you!

~If Cats Could Talk~

I wonder what Molly would say about this...

~Easter Weekend~

We spent Saturday in Kentucky with mom & all of the kiddos...

well, all but Ashton. He is in New York at a FBL trip.

Jerrod & Lexi posing for the camera...Lexi is such a ham...

somehow she made her way in most of my pictures ;o} but

she is a cutie pie isn't she?!

Ever since I can remember...we have colored eggs. Mom loves every

holiday and always comes up with some way to make it

special for the kiddos.

Even the big kids get into coloring eggs...Ethan & Kara are so

artistic. They came up with some really creative designs.

Maylei colored all of her eggs green...I wish I had a close up of her

when she was finished...she had obviously been picking her nose

too...she had green dye all over it. :o}~seriously why couldn't it

have been blue or pink? Not green? ;}

There's Lexi again...

I think right before I snapped this shot...Dalton was saying somethng like

"The only reason I threw the egg was because it was already cracked"

Hhmmm...I wonder how it got cracked in the first place ;o}

He does look awful guilty doesn't he?!?

This is my Grandaddy (my mom's dad) He was recently diagnosed

with Bladder cancer...please be in prayer for him ;o}

Kara didn't want to leave Lillie out of the fun...so she painted

her nails orange ;o} I don't think she cared for it though~ha

Easter Morning...the wind was blowing so hard! This is the only

picture I have with the boy's ties lying flat. ;o}

I wish I could have gotten nicer pictures...we are all squinty from

the sun. But I wanted the pretty flowers in the background. ;o}

I guess you can't have it all can ya?

Kayla & Hannah...they are growing up so fast! It's hard

to believe they are 11 already!

Hubby's dad teaching Colton how to dribble.

Melted chocolate is so much more fun to eat ;o} Or atleast

Garisson makes it look fun~oh, to be a kid again...

Hubby's sister Linda & her husband Joe...they are two of the

sweetest people you will ever meet.

Hubby's Brother Jamie & his daughter Brett. Jamie was recently

diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma...please be in prayer for him

and his family as they go through this.

AND no...this isn't all of my pictures...I took 150 over the

weekend...I just picked a few to share with you ;o}

Hope you had a truly blessed Easter weekend.

I'm so thankful we have so many friends and family to

share it with.
