Mother's Day Pictures

I know I keep blogging things late but I still have no internet
so it makes it hard for me to do it with my cell.
I'm still working on the house by myself while my welder is
off on a job...some days it gets to be too much, then the
good Lord shows me strength in his word.
Coffee and the Bible, couldn't do without them. :)
I spent Mother's Day just me and the kiddos this year...

I set up my tripod 

and snapped some shots of the 

kiddos and I while

trying to stay dry from the rain.

The boys wanted to give me a flower...

Then baby girl felt left out so...

And look my oldest, getting too big!

A LONG 10 Weeks

I'm so thankful for my helpers...

been ten weeks without my love around

so managing the house remodeling,

school and yard work is overwhelming.

We may be six weeks behind in

school, but we are working

hard, "team work" to stay positive

while daddy is off working

hard to provide for us.

Ice Down South

It's not too often we get snow or ice
but this year it came at us hard, for
three weeks straight we were fighting
all that nasty sleet, ice and snow.
Was thankful my love got to fly home
for a few days and help cut up the big
branches...and a kind neighbor came
and helped me with one that fell
later on. :-)

It was pretty I have to admit.

But it damage my oak trees and

we had a mess to clean up.

Was without electricity for over

24hrs. so not fun and COLD.

Sweetheart was making 

himself a tee pee fort

but the dogs thought it

was their dog house. 

Little by little the kiddos

and I got the mess cleaned

up....now we have a huge

brush pile to burn, smores!

Six Weeks Without My Love...

 Been 6 weeks now since my love walked out the door
to work away from home, which made me a "Single Mom".
  *The first week is always hard, adjusting to no daddy and
no help for me can get overwhelming at times. We had
an Ice Storm that week and my washer pipe froze...
  *Week two we see now that it's just the 5 of us and we
pull together and become a team, I guess really we just
get use to the idea daddy is not around...
  *Then when week 3 comes along I start slipping and it
gets harder doing it all, or it's trying to potty-train a lil'
21 month old girl! And I got sick so nothing got done...
  *Okay so I made it to a month now, and the boys are
doing terrible in school, it's a fight every day! Trying to
pack when the warmer out-doors is calling me, no help...
  *Then at 5 weeks I say "that is it" we stop everything
pack up the SUV and take that 4 hour trip to see daddy.

We had a good time; playing at the park, going shopping,
eating-out and just spending time as a "Family", we have
missed him these past six weeks. :~)

So thankful we went, but now its time to get back to work
going to be busy, BUSY for we will be signing papers and
closing on our house in about a week or so....it's time to
move out and start over making a home at a new place.
