New Blog

I have stated a new blog and thought I would keep up with both of them:) But, due to time, five kids, housework (or lack of it getting done!!), husband, church, church calling, and everything else in my life!! I can't do both!! So come and check me out at my new blog -



I am not going to be blogging on this one anymore!! Sorry for the confusion (if there is any!!)

Princesses and Pirates

Princesses and Pirates!! The three younger kids went to a Pirate and Princesses party with some of their cousins. They had so much fun!! I had fun making tutu's for the two baby girls and wands for all three girls. Made swords and eye patches for the three boys! I am not sure who had more fun - me making the stuff or the kids at the party:)

Jenny went home

I have survived another Koren student living with us. Jenny was our third child. We had two boys, Andrew and Kevin (they pick an American name) stay with us Fall of 2008. I would have to say that having a girl to hang out with my older girls was VERY nice!! Other then taking her shopping to get presents for her family (hello - she is 10 and trying to buy things for her family and not herself???!!!) I LOVED having her here! We will miss her!! Hubby even asked me at lunch if I missed her:)!

After getting Jenny to the airport this morning and the girls to school, I came home and made Hattie a tutu. And later on in the day I made her a star wand. The boys and her are going to a Pirates and Princess Party at SIL's library on Thursday!! I am so excited!! I have wanted to make one of these tutu's since I found out I was having a baby girl - but really - I didn't need one - TILL now!! And it turned out WAY cute!! I will get a picture of Hattie in it and post it soon!! I still need to make a sword for each of the boys and then we will be ready!!

I also got the kitchen swept and mopped today:) And the dishes done!! The kitchen is a VERY hard thing to get all mopped for me! It is so big!!!!!! I do half at a time:)

Check out my craft blog - www.midwesterngoneidahoan.blogger.com and see the cute sewing machine covers I made!! I am taking orders!! I have one made for Sally (her b-day present!!) one for my mom and one for Donna. Yes, you all know what you are getting for your b-days this year!! But you have to tell me what fabric you are thinking - or I get to choose:)

Baby girl is done with her bottle and the swing is out of batteries!!!!

PS - I just found out at lunch time that one of my nephews on Dean's side was in a car accident on Saturday! I am SO happy that he is safe and everyone else was too!! He was on his way to the Klondike (scouting) where Dean and Danny were. The car that my nephew was riding in flipped!! They were all wearing their seat belts!! I said a little prayer of thanks! Give you children an extra hug today and tell them that you love them always!!

Danny

Okay, you all know that I named Danny after my dad - (grandpa). And we ALL know that he is JUST like his grandpa!! I swear most days, (I know I shouldn't!!) he will so something that totally reminds me of grandpa!!

Just now he asked for the remote for the TV. We are all watching it - including Hattie!! I asked him why he needed, just wondering his about his thoughts:) He told me that he needs it just in case he wants to pause the movie!! The little boy is already a control freak! Sorry dad - but really reminds me of you:) and a lot of the rest of us!!

A while ago we were driving home from somewhere and he asked why we didn't turn in a certain at the light. I told him I don't usually turn there to get home. Well, my grandpa does!! So, since grandpa does - EVERYONE must!!
