February 25th

Okay... these make me happy. Took about 3 seconds to make with scraps and an IKEA towel that cost .29.               
Happiness is a towel. Yes~ it's true.

February 24th

Joshua told me that his truck "needed a wash." I asked him if the the dishwasher was a car wash and he said, "Of course it is." 
Of course... I just didn't get the memo. Silly Mommy.

February 23rd

I saw an entire field of heifers and their calves. Sweet little things!

February 22nd

Headed to Wray to work on Wednesday. There are just tons of  wind farms anymore. This one is outside of Burlington.

February 21st

Matthew has the greatest laugh. It's a giggle that makes everyone else in the house run to him to see what he is up to. 

February 20th

The older three girls go to a Mom and Me Quilt class taught my Linda Beauchamp. She has such a precious Titus 2 vision and we are blessed to have her in our lives!

February 19th

The older three girls and I went to the Rock and Roll Worship Tour in Colorado Springs. 
The best $40 every spent!!!

One of the only times we actually sat down. 

Mercy Me. It was amazing for us to see what a heart for the Lord most of the bands had! WOW!

February 18th

This is Matthew's new move. We just laugh and laugh.

February 17

Bronco growled at Precious yesterday~ today he decided he liked her blocking the wind. We were shocked at the color difference of the two.

Tabitha started taking pictures "for Mommy." Sweet little girl.

February 16th

Today Bronco was added to the Fadenrecht Home. A male Golden Retriever that the girls bought.


Pretty sleepy.

A boy and his dog. We were picking Bronco up at his home.

The lady had a son that was a bit interested in Tabitha.

I was concerned... and yet I still was taking pictures~ ready to pounce anytime.

"Run away Tabitha, run away! Good girl... good girl!"

They had a fence that I thought was very attractive. I think I want one like this for our yard.

February 15th


We started putting the boys in a bath alone at night (no Tabitha)... lots more water on the floor around the tub now.

February 14th

The three littles are REALLY sick today. *SIGH* Happy Valentine's Day.


Tabitha's fever was around 101 degrees AFTER Motrin... so I gave her some Tylenol and she wanted me to hold her. She fell asleep in about 2 minutes flat.

Raclette Grill. The first time we had done it with the 5 youngest. Rachel had done it when she was 2... so she was an expert~ just ask her. :)

Joshua kept saying, "I cooking!" He just may be a Chef... he was pretty good at flipping those things on the grill!

February 13th


I have been wanting the make a Doll Cake for a long time. So... I did. Besides the fact that the doll looks possessed~ it was pretty fun looking. Joshua kept saying, "We are eating her dress???"


February 12th


Today was Sunday. The littles were sick enough to keep them from going to church. So Mommy and "the babies" stayed home, while Daddy and the older girls went.

Tabitha didn't feel good and figured laying by Mommy in the kitchen was a good place to stop for the morning.

After several rounds of Motrin... I got some smiles out of the littles.

Leah and Sarah decided to join in.

I made Rachel come over and got all six actually looking at the camera. Shocked? I was!

February 11th


BRRRR... it's cold today. We woke up to snow on the ground~ and it's actually staying there.


Tabitha pushing Matthew around in the grocery cart. It was soon tipped over... so that's a "no-no" now.



February 10th

What a grin!

Matthew wasn't feeling too great... so he kept getting up in the evening. Here he was learning how to text.

February 9th



Backwards Dinner!

Tonight was Backwards Dinner... and the girls were in charge. Everything was backwards... so we had dessert first, sloppy joe next, and at the end we had a salad.

Very fun... and the girls did a great job in making everything!

February 8th

Flower in bloom. I got this from Ms. Peggy. I miss her!

February 7th!

We finished the Valentine's Cards today. Here they are... (Matthew is not pictured as we couldn't get him to sit down... surprise, surprise!) 





February 6th

Today we started working on the Valentine's that we are doing for a Valentine's Exchange. This is a flower arrangement that the girls did a couple of days ago to add some color into the living room!

February 5th!

SuperBowl!!
The girls and I aren't too excited since the Broncos weren't playing... so we did other stuff. I worked on some quilt blocks and even went over to my quilting teacher's house during the game. Here is one that I took a picture of.


February 4th

Today I made liquid laundry soap! I have been making dry laundry soap for about a year... but this is the first time I have made liquid. Not sure about it yet.

Melting down the Zote soap.

Finished... just have to wait for it to gel overnight.

February 3rd



This wasn't a fun picture day... I only took pictures to post things on Craigslist. We are trying to get rid of this TV and baby changing table. We cleaned out the boys room and now we are working on Sarah's and Tabitha's room.... YAHOO!!


February 2nd

Leah took Joshua and Tabitha out with her to do the chicken chores this AM... they were SO excited to go with her~ but even more to get back inside! They, of course, wanted hot chocolate!


Joshua keeping warm with his hands in his pockets!

Running to get warm!!

February 1st

Making more candles... this time Strawberry Jam. YUM!!!

January 31st!

On the way home from working in Del Norte today... I saw some great old buildings and views. I only stopped to take a picture of a few because driving over the pass I always get behind these slow/dangerous trucks.
