First of all... Happy Thanksgiving!!

the hp touchsmart...

...has found a way into our home, and I've instantly fallen in love! I finally got my new computer... after saving up for a laptop, and doing a ton of research, I seen one of these online. I kinda fell in love. The touchscreen sold me. I can literally draw directly onto the screen with my finger or graphire pen. The computer itself is built into the screen, the keyboard and mouse are bluetooth wireless and there is just one cord running from the computer/monitor to the wall outlet. Its a little on the heavy side (the screen is 22")... Read more →

shes growing like a weed...

see what I mean? She is 4 months old already! She is real close to sitting up on her own, and rubs her eyes when she's sleepy now... which I absolutely adore. No more hiding it from mommy! She fights sleep when being rocked, and would much rather put herself to sleep. She's teething and drooling like a baby. :) She also is completely different from her big sister in the fact that she is shy! Yep... we have a shy daughter... I can hardly believe it myself. Of course, my daughter being shy is a little more likely, but... Read more →

the building of a house... chapter one

Hello! So, this is what I did this morning... the truss truck was scheduled to drop off the trusses to mom and dads house at 10:30 this morning. So, I loaded up the kids and took some pictures of the guys in action. It really works out good because my brother-in-law, and husband both work for my dad building houses. So, they are able to do 90% of the work themselves on this new house... means we can build a house quite a bit cheaper then normal. My uncle also works on the crew, and another 2 guys that live...

Arrrgh maytie!

I have NO idea if I spelled that right... but I hope you get the idea anyhow! :) I finished this print a few days ago. I Will Leave You A Map is now listed in the shop. I like to think of it as a reminder of how fortunate I am to have already found that little x on the map. :) If your still in search of that special someone, this print can help remind you that they may be just a few "paces" away. :) How is everyone enjoying the cooler fall weather?
