New Hobbies
Another thing I have ALWAYS wanted to do was learn to crochet. I made these scarfs and was pretty surprised with myself. They are not the best but I am satisfied with them.
Now I am on a hunt for another easy sewing project. Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm Baaaaack
- We did two rounds of clomid that resulted in BFNs! I didn't like how the meds made me feel (headaches everyday, wanting to bite every ones head off
, pissy moods, crying moods, and weight gain), so I decided not to take it anymore. Trying to just leave it in God's hands. - I recently found out that stress makes endometriosis spread and grow more quickly, so I am trying to be less stressed..yeah, right! If you know me, I stress a lot...so if you have any pointers let me know! ha
- The dog trade didn't happen.
- Jake and I have went out of town several times just to get away and watch movies in Fort Smith. We usually rent a hotel room, go walk around the mall, then go watch a movie. I absolutely love these trips with my hubby! Plus we get to go to Starbucks at least twice, which is an added bonus. ;)
- Santa came a little early and I got one of the things I wanted. Jake continued to insist that I would want to open 'this' present, so I finally did. {He knew I would want to take pictures of the kiddos and their Christmas party} What a sweety....aaaahhhh! Really wanted the purple one of, but they only had black and silver when he got it! I love it anyways.
- Finally got all the kitchen cabinets painted and the doors put back and took pictures for the before and after.

Well, that's about all I can think of at the moment. I do have one more story, but I thought I would save it for another post.Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Faith and a whole lot more!
Now on to some ramblings!
I have a few weeks worth of posts stuck in my head!
First off, I was so depressed to see this picture...!
I so want to be that skinny again and I LOVE my hair in this picture!!!
Second, me heart melts when I look at this picture...Uncle Jake REALLY has fallen in love with Baby Jackson.
FYI...one reason I am MIA is because we have spent the last 3 weekends in Ashdown while Jake helps his sister and BIL put on a new roof. Hopefully, this will be the last weekend. It would be a little easier if he was getting paid to do it. (I won't even go there!!!!!!)
I love these pics...

One more thing...we are doing a swap! We are dog swapping (Athena, a dog we have had for about 4 years) for my SIL's chocolate lab. We just feel that Leela (the lab) will make a better fit for our family. Bo and Josie will LOVE her, but we are so afraid that if we take Athena away Bo will get depressed. She practically raised him from a pup! So wish us luck and that it all works out good. It's a long story of why we have decided this (maybe later) but I just hope we are making the right decision!

My Baby is 1 year old!!!
Getting her daily bath!
Funny story about this picture...notice the towel she is using as a pillow? Well, that is the towel I had grabbed to use as our "wiping" towel. Yes, we wiped her feet and behind after she came back in from outside! Anyways, that towel was folded up behind the door against the wall. She moved it where it is and used it as a pillow! Smart dog. ;)
Given her bubba kisses. (This is one of the most loving dogs I have ever known!)
BTW...when we rescued her we were told she was a pit. Obviously you can tell she is not full blood pit, her mom was a pit. But who knows what the dad is, we think she might be part heeler. She has the spots and the smarts of a blue heeler. (You can only see the spots on her skin when she is wet) So she is our little mystery dog! =)
