I GOOGLED IT

Strange, when I was in college in 1998, the internet hadn't yet taken off. I was trying to write a my thesis and do research on-line. Most websites didn't exist then, so I had to rely on the University library for most of my research. Fast forward to 2012, my Uncle in Canada past away this week and I was looking on the internet to see if I could find his obituary since I can't fly to Canada to his funeral. Well I didn't find his obituary but I did find this..... its my grandparents grave in Sask. My brother thought it was morbid when I told him that it was on the internet, I sent it to my Mother, I am not sure what she thinks of it yet. It blows my mind how far technology has come. I know that you can research your family tree on the internet but I didn't expect to see real images of my family. What do you think?

So many projects

Really I haven't posted in a long time I've been busy and work and playing when I can on Pininterst.(its like design blog on crack is how I explained it to a coworker) We have made lots of progress around the house mainly in the yard thanks to the backhoe-I can barely keep my little guy off of it) We got all the stumps out and the trees that didn't make it through the ice storm last winter. I can hardly wait till Spring it will look like a park. Buttercup the horse like it too, she has way more room to roam. I haven't started my shopping yet. I am waiting for that last paycheck. I sure miss my Thrift Store by my old work, I bought alot of my Xmas ornaments and nick naks there over the past few years, this year I really don't have any place to put anything since we pulled the table and chairs out of the dining room to make more room for what else...toys. We have a toy room but some how they all wind up in the dining room. Little guy is going to love his train table that Santa bought. He plays with the one at the library every week so I think it was a good buy in that he can use it for other things as he gets older. So many projects so little time..I was hoping to paint his homemade easle with chalkboard paint this weekend and get some baking done...

Some Days....

My little guy is 27 months and its hard to believe how he picks up on things that we say or things that others do. He is all boy that is for sure, he adores his Daddy and learns the word of God at daycare. He has started to say "thank you"and "please" when he wants something. I know he knows when he does something wrong, I can see that look in his eyes that he is going to "push" Mommy's buttons as far as he can and see what happens. I wonder though, Can I do more? I should spend more time with him, but some days after work, I just don't have it in me. I pray for the strength to push through it and overcome, some days its just tough. I am not a young mother, in fact I never thought I would ever be a mother but at 39 after 10 years of marriage I think God has another plan for me, that is to raise a "Godly Child". I am learning as I go and I hope that I can find the inspiration and strength that will help guide me through the terrible two's and teach my son to be a good boy.

Life is good

I haven't posted like I used to, the heat, a new job, and a very active toddler have kept me from posting, oh yes and let's not forget about the other new addition to the family-Buttercup the dog oops I mean horse-no dog or at least she thinks she is a dog.
Life on the farm could not be any better. My little guy is growing up so fast. I am so thankful that I am able to be closer to home now and I get to spend more time with him each day. His Bubba-older brother moved closer and also gets to spend more time with him too. I am finally enjoying my life, my job, and my family, for the first time in years. I now have more time to cook, and I am not so obsessed over a messy house I am also enjoying life working in a small town. I guess you could say I found my dream job, so at 41 I would have to say things are almost perfect. Winning the lottery would be nice
PS the Travel trailer is in progress still I will post when complete.

its still HOT

Last time I posted it was only 20 days over 100 now its like 53 the hottest summer on record. When its this hot and you have a toddler, its pretty tough to keep him busy and inside on the weekends. Daddy has been busy renovating the rent house that we bought last month. Its a real fixer only one bdrm but its cute and it would make a great house for a couple. New everything, carpet, tile paint but most of the house was in pretty good shape. I haven't been down to take after pics yet.. With it being so hot my house feel like a dungeon right now. I have all the windows covered with my new toile curtains that I bought awhile back and I managed to clean the furniture on Sat with one of those little Bissell mean green cleaners

Its HOT outside baby

20 days over 100 degrees, I am not sure which is worse the heat or the cold. You know its hot when you take a load of laundry out of the washer and the one you just put up is already dry and crispy...The heat also did not make for a fun 2 year old birthday party. Too hot to sit outside...Yes my sweet little guy is no longer a baby and I really tried to give him a fun BUBBLE GUPPIES birthday party with the printables and other stuff I could find online. I have some pics but alas I cannot locate the CD to download them off my camera and I am too lazy to sit at Walgreens and take them off the card. I need to though they are too cute. In other news, the job is still great, I have been blessed with a job I finally enjoy and one that does not require a commute. I guess all my patience finally paid off. There is nothing that makes me happier than to pull into my driveway with my little guy everyday at 5:10 instead of 6:10. Its such a joy to get to spend more time with him although all he wants to do is watch Bubble Guppies-whoever invented the DVR was a genius!!! Its my Bday this wkd, I wonder if my hubby has anything fun planned for me?????
