triplets?!

Yeah, I know that got your attention.  I'm sorry it was misleading...kind of.

(The one in front with its back to you is Ivory, the one facing right in the back is Bianca, and the one under Ramie (the mama) is Topaz.  That is also the order in which they were born).

Our goat had triplets Sunday night.

They are all girls.
 

Babies are cute even if they are animals.

Until next time...

Two!!

Our baby is two...well, there is another baby coming along, but for now the youngest child in our house turned two today.

She had a pink birthday; strawberry cake (find the recipe here), strawberry soda, and strawberry ice cream.  She got two balls, two stuffed puppies, and a stuffed purple gorilla.  She has had a happy birthday so far.

 I also made her a new birthday skirt.

 
Until next time...

another teen!

Today we officially have 3 teens in the house...and the third one is a boy!  Yikes!  How did that happen?

He chose a snickers cake; a new recipe that we found.  His oldest sister generously made it for him.  She tweaked the recipe a little...she said it didn't call for enough chocolate chips and peanuts so she doubled up on that.  It was pretty yummy.  (And really rich; we made a 9x13 pan and it was plenty for our large family).

If you're interested, the recipe is here.

He enjoys Legos and one of his favorites is Chima; this particular thing is a game.  He also got a throwing knife set and a new bike helmet.  Plus money of course. :)

He has really grown in the past year.  His youngest brother and sister adore him and always clamor to sit on his lap or be held by him.   He is such a blessing to all of us.


Until next time...

love or Valentine's Day isn't just for sweethearts

This year, we made the grandparents some Valentines and sent them along with a little wooden box that the children made (they all made one and we chose 5 to send), plus some chocolates.  After all, Valentine's Day just isn't complete without some chocolate!

My mom sent me a pic of hers that she got today.  The postal service had great timing in this instance. :)

Then I told my hubby that his girls needed a box of chocolate from their daddy first, before they got one from some guy.  So he made a quick last minute run to the store and got them their very own box of chocolates.  :)  BTW...I wasn't left out; he got me one yesterday AND today. :)

Oh and our oldest (third pic) really did like them...I just snapped the button at the wrong time and didn't notice until now.  But I assure you - she loved it. :)




Until next time...

it's all about love

 How was your Valentine's Day?  We celebrated from breakfast to nighttime.
We started with a yummy breakfast that we usually don't indulge in: stuffed French toast with strawberry syrup and cool whip.  The stuffing was cream cheese and the strawberry syrup was homemade.  Yum!!

And after breakfast the plates looked like this:

Treats

 

 Dessert

Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies

 Oh yeah, the main dinner meal: garlic bread and lasagna

 

Instead of using traditional lasagna noodles, I used egg noodles.  I usually make crock-pot lasagna and use those, but today I didn't.  We love them anyway. :)

We had several of these balloons hanging almost everywhere, but I didn't want to fill the post up with decorations. :)

Let's get this party started!  lol  Some of my little sweethearts. :)

Our youngest sweetheart (so far). :)

Until next time...

Valentine's skirt special on my etsy shop

 Some of you may not know that I have an etsy shop.  I only have a few things on there, but I am trying to sell what I do have.  I have some really cute little skirts for little girls.  I hope to branch out to older girls in time.

Right now I'm having a Valentine's special - a coupon code to use on my etsy shop for 20% off (see the front page of my shop to get the code)!!  The code is good for the whole week, ending the 15th.  But to get a Valentine's skirt in time for the 14th you really need to order it today, tomorrow before 3 pm at the absolute latest.  (So I can package it and get it to the post office before 4). 

I do have more than just Valentine's skirts and will be adding more soon.  But for a sweet, one of a kind, heart print skirt - order now!!

Go to my etsy shop and check it out.  You'll be glad you did!!


Until next time...
