Since It is Practically Fall...

I think I will make some PUMPKIN BREAD!!!  I have a wonderful recipe of my own, but I saw this picture:

I thought I would need to modify the recipe some to make it lower in fat, but when I looked at A KITCHEN ADDICTION for the recipe I found that it is already that way.

I don't think I will spread the entire bread with the buttercream.  I think I will make it and let people (meaning the kids) spread it on their slice if they want.

Get Inside

Sometimes...well let me be honest...99% of the time, I wish that I could get inside Colby's head and see what is going on.  The past few days he has been fine when he leaves home, but is becoming violent at school.  Unfortunately, Colby can not tell us why.   We have asked, but we can not get a response that we understand.

What do I do?  I have no idea, but this is LIFE AS I KNOW IT!

Filias

My girls are known in our circle as Fanny and HailNo. They are so full of life and fun. They are pretty and smart. They crack me up on a daily basis. They are very different. I love them both so much. They are 2 of the best things I ever did!

Mi Alpha y Mi Omega

The 2 good looking fellows are my Alpha and my Omega...my beginning and my end.  They are my oldest and youngest children.

I did not do a whole lot before I had children.  I was barely driving age when Alpha (aka POOKIE) was born.  I, like the Pookster, went to a lot of tournaments and won a few trophies.  BUT, let me tell you that it is a lot more fun watching him than it ever was for me competing.

Alpha was almost driving age when Omega (aka EAM) was born.  So far, Omega is too young to like anything outside of toys.

I am blessed more than I deserve.  I have a very rich life with my kiddos and P-Daddy.  We have some trying times, but they are still a lot of fun.  And this is LIFE AS I KNOW IT!

Tithing

No, they did not.  We give what we can.  I do wish that I could volunteer more, but at this time, it is not an option.  But that is just LIFE AS I KNOW IT!

My Birthday Gifts turn 1

These little nuggets above are my last 2 birthday gifts.  I got them last year for my birthday.  The one in yellow is EAM...My Omega or Tailgate...the baby of the Family.  The one in red and blue is HBS...our nephew.  EAM's birthday was 3 weeks ago and today is HBS'. 

Happy Birthday to 2 of my 4 birthday gifts from God. 

Happy Friday

I hope you all have a great and wonderful weekend.  If you have a chance to do some internet shopping, stop by One Kings Lane Design Blogger Sale.  My sister in love Marianne of Haven and Home is one of the designers.  I am so excited for her.  I am not sure what stuff is her's, but there are lots of REALLY cool stuff!  Like this chair!

I want this chair, but with 6 kids and wall to wall kid stuff, I have no room.  But I would love to have it in my "Someday" library!

Again, I hope you all have a great weekend.  I will be dreaming of this chair!
