Soup Mood

Ok...I know it hasn't cooled off yet....but with all the fall stuff out in the stores and the mums...and stuff, it gets me in the mood for my favorite season. I LOVE FALL. The trees, the cool weather...everything about it. So...I had to make soup. I use to not make soup....because I really didn't think it was a meal. Phooey on that. Soup is great, and today I decided to share my Taco Soup recipe with ya. I know this is a common recipe, but it's awesome, my girls love it. enjoy!

New Pet

Meet our new Pet, Ellie May...5 year old Mare. Yes this is Avery standing with her, but it's Ralph's horse. And as we all know, Ralph can't ride yet, so Avery gets to do everything with her. By the way, what can Ralph do???? (that's another story) This will also be a great FFA project for Avery. Can you tell I'm trying to talk myself into this. Anyways, she's very big (the horse) and nice. Please pray for me.....and if you have to ask why.....then you don't know me well. Pooh.

Me and the girls

Trying to get the girls to pose for me....is sometimes a struggle, they often like to get alittle goofy. Who figure....
this was Morgan's Birthday. Avery is 14 and now Morgan is 13....and we just won't talk about me...

slumber parties

You too can have this much fun, all you need is a couple of 12/13 year olds in your home. For a small fee, I can lease them to you. Morgan had a good birthday party. Actually the girls were real good, I think they are finally at an age, where they occupy themselves and only need you for food. Yeah...thanks Pizza man. Morgan didn't want cake this year. She wanted to make their own ice cream sundae. So whalaa....who knew a $4.00 can of whip cream could be so much fun. We also got our own private band concert.....I'm not sure I recognize the songs, but their learning....the best part....(hint: remember this)I took them home before 10 am....so they didn't get tired of each other and they were not in my house. This however might be alittle difficult, especially if they stayed up late, and you know their going to stay up late....

Labor Day

Well....I know why they call it Labor day. Because that's all I did all day. Not labor like child-birth, THANK GOD! but I decided to do alittle painting....my hallway. After finally getting the wall paper off. If I can talk anybody out of wall papering...please don't do it. It is a pain in the butt to remove and then your walls are not the same. Basically it sucks! Anyway, got the wall paper off, and started painting....this cool color I picked all out myself. (bad michelle). It is called Cincinnatian Hotel Vander Red (muted red) always wanted a red wall, couldn't go to bold, so muted red, that's cool right? After second coat, painting around the trim twice....muted red looks like vomit mauve...no shitting! Long story short....Avery drove Ralph to lowes, because he's still on crutches...not so much a pain in the ass no more...just alittle bit...anyway, we have a new color in the hallway, it's called New Haven Clay. Pretty cool, after all that painting....i have labored!
PS. Who comes up with this paint names? Is it some Martha Stewart want-a-be, sitting in a cubicle somewhere? I want that job.....Vander Red? Come on.
