One hundred years from now
It won't matter who you thought you were,
Who I thought you were,
How much money you had,
What kind of truck you drove,
How many cattle you had,
Or how many bulls you rode,
Nor who yer daddy was,
But it will matter if you knew Jesus.

My Iris's Are Blooming


I planted these Iris bulbs that we dug up from where my Pawpaw lived in Oakalla. Cody actually dug some up from there and planted them. His grew so much that he dug some up and I planted them in my flower bed. Mine are all white, but he also has purple ones and yellow ones. If I am ever to move, I will dig these bulbs up and take them with me where ever I go!

Jelly Bean Poem

Jelly Beans With Poem Attached
Jelly Belly Jelly Bean Mixture
The Completed Project!




Heather and I made these Jelly Bean Bags to give to all the kids at our Easter Celebration this Saturday. We mixed all the colors of jelly beans together and added the poem to it.
Jelly Bean Poem
Red is for the blood He gave.
Green is for the grass He made.
Yellow is for the sun so bright.
Orange is for the edge of night.
Black is for the sins we made.
White is for the grace He gave.
Purple is for His hour of sorrow.
Pink is for our new tomorrow.
A handful of jelly beans....
Simple, Colorful, and Sweet
Reminds us of the reasons
He makes our life so sweet.
Bunnies, eggs, and jelly beans
That's not all that Easter means
There is another message, too...
Jesus died for me and you!
Happy Easter 2010!!

CTBRA

Landon and Mimi runnin' Betsy
Landon with his Medal--he was proud of it!!

"Love You"
(this is his I Love You--too cute!!)


Kylee runnin' Smash
We went to our third CTBRA of the year on Saturday 3-27-10. We have to go to 7 more in order to get the award buckle! I hope we can make it to them all. Landon got a medal this weekend as his prize, he got a brush for his horse on his First CTBRA. I think we forgot to pick one prize up, but oh well, we are holding out for his First Buckle!




"My Way" of posting pics...

Ok, so I just got two posts done, with pics posted with them...But is a pretty off the wall way of doing it...and the pics aren't as great quality as I'd like them to be doing it like this but....they are on there....I download from my camera to my computer, take a pic of my computer screen with my phone and email it to myself. Then I save it to my computer again and then load it to my blog... Its a WAY round about way of doing it, but for some reason it works.
I have tried a MILLION different ways it seems like, and this is what has worked so far. There has got to be a better way to do it, but I don't know what it is! When I attached the pic from my computer to my email and tried to put it on blog like that, it wouldn't work, I'm guessing because the size was too big. I guess this is the way I will have to do it...so keep checking back. I have to play catch up now, and they will likely be all out of order, but oh well!!!

Dinosaur Park

Landon, Kylee, Cora, Jakson, Parker and Jake at the Dinosaur Park

Everything is a BULL in this kids eyes!!

The Whole Gang!
I took Landon, Kylee, Cora, Jakson, and Parker along with Kristy and Jake to the Dinosaur Park in Cedar Creek on Thursday of Spring Break. We had a lot of fun! There was a trail to walk on and see all the dinosaurs, a dino dig for fossils and a neat little playground. We ate at McDonalds afterwards and played on the playground there, and all made it home alive!! :)




Our Chickens are Laying!

These eggs are from our chickens...that we keep at "Kiki" and "Med's" house. So now we have "REAL" eggs. We have been getting 3-5 a day (since this past Friday) and we only have 3 hens....so thats pretty good. It's about time! We've had them about a year and they are just now laying!

So, for dinner tonight we had.... Fried Egg Sandwiches and French Fries...yum yum!!


By the way...this pic loaded on the first try...what the heck!?!?! So now I'm gonna try some more!

STILL Trying!!!

AGGHHHH!! I'm STILL trying to get this *!*!**!*!*!* computer/internet to work right and upload the pics I want to get on my blog posts!! It's really making me mad!!! It is still saying something about "diagnose connection" problem before it says "required id cannot be blank" I just don't know!! I do have a lot of pics and posts to share if I weren't having all this darn trouble!! Keep checking back, maybe it will eventually work!! :/

So MANY Blogs, So LITTLE Time

I have so MANY blogs I want to post...Dinosaur Park, Parkers's 2nd Bday Party, Spring Flowers, pics of Landon and Kylee...but I haven't had any time! And WORST of all, I am still having HECK getting the pics to upload. I attempted 9 times Saturday to post the Dinosaur Park pics before I finally just gave up!! I am at work today and tomorrow, but maybe I will get them to load soon!! Keep checking back for updates!!!!

Just Trying To Upload Pics!

One of My Favorite Pics of Landon in the Snow
Really this blog was just a test run...I started at 10 min til 10:00 trying to upload 2 pics of Landon and Kylee at the zoo. I tried 5 times, and they wouldn't load. I changed to this one from the snow we had and tried just once and it loaded!! What the heck!?!?! It took 25 min to get any pics loaded either way!!
I may not have to worry about it taking forever to load pics...I may have to stop blogging already! Clint had a HISSY FIT last night becasue I made the mistake of letting him see that I have a blog now. He had a fit because he doesn't want me to do Facebook or Myspace, which I'm not, but now he thinks a blog is the same. WHATEVER!! The stresses of life! LOL. Maybe he will get over it!!

PERFECT Brownies

Mix brownings according to box and pour into Perfect Brownie pan.


Add divider piece, and bake as directed.


Bake, and when done, let cool slightly and remove divider piece. Set on base, and slide pan down. Perfect brownies remain on tray!

PERFECT Brownies!
Heather got me this pan as one of my Valentine gifts, and I finally got to try it out yesterday. I just baked regular brownies in it, but you can make all kinds of good stuff. They turned out great and tasted YUMMY! And looked "PERFECT" too!

Playing in the Creek

Landon Playing in the Creek

Bandy Playing in the Creek



I posted this once, tyring to send it form my email, which I don't know if it even worked at this point...then I tried for like the millionth time...to add a picture to a post from the blog site, and it worked this time. ...But it would only let me get ONE pic ! Then, I tried again to add another pic to the same post, and it let me put another, but it wouldn't let me rearrange them the way I wanted. I don't know what the heck is up with this thing!!
It could make me even more crazy than I already am! :)


These pics are from when Clint took Landon and I to see the creek that they found when they wrecked the 4 wheeler. We had been working in the yard when he decided to take us there. It was a nice break. We had a lot of fun playing in the water and just enjoying the weather. Landon enjoyed the water, and finally decided he was interesed in the moss so he started playing with it too. Bandy enjoyed running free too!

Still Having Trouble....

Well, I have been messing with this blog ALL day, trying to get the pics to post. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! I'm narrowing it down to internet connection. I guess the Sprint wireless I have is quick enough to load them sometimes but MOST of the time it's NOT! It makes me MAD becuase I have some pics that Clint took over the weekend that I want to post.. Guess I am gonna have to resort to Snapfish and sending all "1400" pics out, which I will probably do in addition to the blog anyway! :)

Bull Ridng

Landon has been riding all of his bulls more and more! I hope this isn't an indication of whats to come! He rides his rockin' bull and his spring bull. He rides in his cowboy under-roos and its SO CUTE! He also sits on the toilet and imitates his shower curtain. He is such a BOY!! :)

What's Up With My Blog??

Well, I started this blog, but it's not working as well as I had planned. I can't get any pictures added to my posts!! It tells me there is an error: blogID: required field must not be blank. I have no idea what the problem is. I have tried several times/ways to add pictures and it just won't work!! It's driving me crazy! I will keep trying! :)

I'm FINALLY starting a BLOG!

Well,I'm giving it a shot. Erika assures me it is easy, and that I should start one. I have been addicted to reading all the blogs that Erika follows, and I don't even know these people!! It's fun reading whats going on with people and getting new information and insight on stuff. There are lots of funny stories, happy ones, and sad ones, but I have found them all interesting to read. I have decided I will just leave Clint out of it since he has it in his head that everything computer related "causes problems" and start one. He's a little goofy sometimes!
I am staring a blog about our family and all that we do. I will post everything that my little man Landon Spur is doing as well as what Kylee is up to. I will post what we do as a family and I am sure a bunch of other random things as well.. But, rest assusred, there will be a TON of pictures. :) I can't wait unitl I'm off work to get pictures placed and posts added.
