SILHOUETTE GIVEAWAY

Silhouette Giveaway

Silhouette is giving away a Silhouette SD. I don't have one of these, but i know i would have so much fun making crafts and gifts. This is one of those machines that you don't have to be crafty or Martha Steward to use. It does all the work for you and your projects come out looking professional. It is a money saver as well. There are no expensive cartridges to buy. You can use the fonts and clip art from your own computer.

I sure hope that i am the winner, but in case i am not :( and you would like to try to win, go to:

COW APPRECIATION DAY AT Chick-Fil-A

I must have been insane that day, but i dress up six kids plus myself and went to Chick-Fil-A - all for free food. It was a fun day, but i was so thankful when my mom and brother showed up to help. :P

Home For Sale

Yes, we still have our house for sale. It has been a year now. I can't believe that it has been that long. We were very concerned about our finances, but God has proven Himself faithful. At the time that we put our house of the market, Tom took a 1/2 cut in pay, b/c of his employer cutting back in the company. He does work two jobs, and at the second job, there was a manditory job added on, so that has given up a little extra money. This company still only paid 1/2 the wages that they had paid out for the job before. We were frightened that we wouldn't be able to afford the mortgage on both houses, but do you know that we haven't had to change our lifestyle hardly at all. I can only compare it to the story in the Bible, where God kept the widow's oil pot filled even when they had used all the oil for the day. I really expect for my 13 year old van to bite the dust anyday, but He has kept it running without any problems during this time. We've still been able to go to McD's and a (very) occasional restraunt, we eat the same foods, not having to cut back in that area. Actually, we've had to buy more things b/c of Timothy - more diapers, snacks... He usually eats our food from supper that I just grind up, so that I don't have to buy jars of baby food.

God has taken good care of us and I am so thankful for that. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that God has done something specific for your family and it is He and He alone responsible for it. We would like for anyone willing to pray, to pray that our house sells soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, TIMOTHY

In May, Timothy turned one. Boy, time sure flies. His birthday fell on Mother's Day weekend, but it wasn't a weekend full of celebration, b/c Tom was out of town with work. Not only did I have all four kids by myself on Mother's Day, but we celebrated Timothy's birthday by ourselves. We did make him a cake, but we saved our real party for when Tom was home. Here are some pics of his cake on his actually day.

He wasn't sure about the candle and flame

I wouldn't allow him to touch it until after the picture, so he wasn't very happy.

Eating the candle iceing

He tried digging in with his hands, but...

decided that it was too messy.

and that is how he ate the rest of his cake - FACE ONLY
