If you know me at all..

Then you know I am obsessed with Mason Jars....

I just love them and I am always on a hunt to find them. My favorite one that I own is big and blue. I like to put fresh floral arrangements in it. I am not sure exactly what it is that draws me to them but I think it has something to do with the great daydreams I have as I am looking at them. All my thoughts of living on a farm and living a simple life come full circle. I love their shape, the different textures each one has and the thought that some of these jars have been used for so many different purposes over the years.






Currently I am on a mission to find the smaller ones with the handles. I think they will make the cutest glasses in my house. It's taking me a while to gather my collection but I figure that by the time I get my farm I will have a enough to entertain with.

Happy Birthday Gracelyn "4"

Happy Birthday to my little Gracelyn who has turned four. At 8:24am on July 31, 2006 you were brought into this world. I am thankkful everyday for you. Your quirkiness, your stubborness, your smile, your big blue eyes, your Cindy Brady lisp, your chubby little toes, your hoarding, your shakes, giggles and wiggles. I love you so much and I am so lucky you were chosen to be my daughter and for me to be your momma!




Happy Birthday Gracelyn.. You are such a Goofball!!

Playtime with Maya

The girls and I stopped at Grandma Debbies hosue the other night to visit McKenzies baby girl Maya. The girls and I thought she was the cutest, sweetest little baby ever.

Smurfette

Gracelyn came into the kitchen the other day with a blue marker in her hand and said "Hey momma, I'm Smurfette".. Yup she colored herself blue! Thank goodness for washable markers!

Veggies

Our pea pods presented themselves this week. The girls were so excited to pick and eat them right up! Our garden this year has been really fun for the girls and I to watch, maintain and enjoy!

Dreaming of...

A big farm where my kids can run free and play. Where the sounds of the city are gone and the sounds of crickets and frogs become music to my ears. Where I can grow fresh organic veggies and I can stop at roadside stands for fresh fruits and honey. Where my kids can head out early in the morning to play and not return until lunch because they are too busy building tree forts, picking apples and swinging from the branches. Where I can be at peace and enjoy every second of my kids growing up. The sounds of cries, laughter and the sites of muddy dirty feet and berry stained smiles.

Rub a Dub Dub

Rub a Dub Dub 4 men in a tub.

The kids love my big bath tub and the 4 of them fit in it just great!
