Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Happy Mother's Day my lovely blogging beauties!!!! Here is my great Mom and I! It was sooo cold here today! Yesterday was gorgeous, but today it went the other way, but we still had a lovely day.

Here I am with my beautiful boys!
Here is my sister-in-law(her first mothers day), my niece Chloe, my Mom, and I.
And here is my sister-in-law and Chloe again. Aren't they beautiful?!! I had a super weekend! My husband actually got the weekend off, so we went yard saling Friday. Then he pulled into the message therapist parking lot and asked if she had time to give me a massage!!! She only had time for a half hour, but oh my, was it worth it! I cannot stress the importance of mothers and women getting a massage when needed!! It is a HUGE stress reliever and gives you time to just relax. We spent yesterday with Mitch's(my handsome hubby) mom and brother and sister. His sister is also a first time mom and this was her first Mom's Day, too! Then today we went to church, had a wonderful service, THEN we came home and my Dad, brother, and Mitch made us ladies a brunch(eggs, toast, steak, bacon, hashbrowns, johnny cake, and fruit!). It was so nice! I rented Becoming Jane, a movie about the life of Jane Austin. I got to watch that, and it was a very nice movie, so all in all, it was a nice, calm, Mommy Rules weekend! I hope all of you had beautiful weekends as well! TTFN!!

My Crazy Weekend

This is going to be long post, so sit and relax. My weekend was very long and very busy. So, it started out on Friday, we were going on our first yard sale outing of the season, and this pic above is the sky at 8:00 in the morning. Lovely, huh? It had been gorgeous for at least a week and a half and of course the morning I was so pumped about getting out and having fun it rained SOOOOO BAD! Lightning crashing, thunder booming. By mid morning though it had stopped.I just had to include a pic of this adorable camper we seen while we were waiting for the light to change. It isn't a very good picture, but it says "Mystery Machine" on the side and was absolutely a hoot! Completely custom painted! I have been learning that now that I am blogging I better never leave the house without a camera!

Well, because of the rain and all the yard sales starting a day before we went there wasn't a great abundance of deals, but I did manage to find a few things. My favorite sale was a little older womans. She had everything divided up and put in baggies and boxes. It was like a wonderful treasure hunt! She had tons of lace, ribbon, old crayons, everything! Above is a pic of the great lace and ribbons I got for $1.25! Most of it is vintage and what isn't is still nice.

At the same sale I got loads and loads of old seam binding and ribbon for extremely cheap! As you can see there are some great colors. I also got some old rick-rack, trim, beads, and old Crayola crayons. I even got a dozen fresh eggs from her chickens! Bonus!

Well, now we are to Saturday. Ethan had to help sell cookies and brownies and stuff at an auction, so we all went and thought we would make a day of it. Except it was very, very cold! After the rain the day before it got up to 82 degrees! Well, when we woke up the next morning, it was struggling to get to 40! We ended up not staying for the whole thing, which is REALLY hard for us, but I just couldn't get warm. Anyway, here are Ethan and Malachi hamming it up for me in the pic above.
Here is my right hand man doing one of the things he does best! Having to box up all the junk his mom buys! It is definitely not one of his favorite jobs, but it sure does help me out a lot!
Dyl and his friend Chris just hanging out.
Here's Dylan after I caught him snooping through a box of toys.
Here is Ethan and his friend and fellow scout David doing what they came to do. I guess by the end of the day the scouts made a good profit. I got a few things at the auction, but not much. I tried to get a pic of my hubby, but he runs from me when I have the camera! After the auction our niece Brenda came over and spent the night and went to church with us. So that brings us to Sunday. We went to church and got invited to stay for lasagna and games with the youth. What a blast! Of course, this was one of the times I forgot my camera!

And yesterday we had my brothers birthday pizza and cake. Never a dull moment around here! I've been tagged by a fellow blogger(Thanks, Tangee:), so later I need to post my tag info. TTFN!

I HATE Technology!!

Could someone, anyone tell me why everything has to be so stinking difficult? I am trying to change my layout/template and everything I download or copy and paste won't go through! It says it isn't parsed well(whatever that means) and gives me no way of fixing it. I want a three column layout and banner, and everything, but I am totally lost! I can't stand that I am so stupid when it comes to this stuff! Well, now you all know what I am like when I get upset! It was bound to happen sooner or later(LOL).
We had a lovely weekend(except when I tried to get a new layout). Church was great. We are having a really good Sunday School discussion. We found out that fear of God is a good thing. Just like punishing your children and them having a fear of dissapointing you, it is the same with us and God. He is our Father and he is watching us all the time, so we need to be fearful that He can see and hear everything we do. So we need to be on our best behavior, right? Sometimes that is much easier said than done. But I try my hardest!
My middle son was gone all weekend on a Boyscout camping trip. He had a good time. All he can talk about though is how funny it was that one of his little friends fell in the creek! Poor Boy! I took pics. of me and the boys, so I will be putting them on(I hope). TTFN!
