Family Fun Day

The family all had fun while mom canned salsa all morning.. I think I just heard a jar explode in the canner.. oh bother! Anyway, the kids had a blast riding the quad all morning into the afternoon.. they are still out there.. Everyone loves it.. I am so thankful we made this purchase.. To see the kids enjoying themselves again!!

New Gymboree Outfit

Today at our house...

Blogger is not cooperating with me , so the rest of the pics will have to wait until tomorrow. There is still a sofa table to show you and the rest of my treasures from todays garage sales. Eimi and I had a girls day out. I took her out to lunch and for an ice cream cone.. We had a good time..
We had a delivery of used furniture come today. We are very happy with our purchase. Then my friend Ronna gave us a recliner- that I think will go in my bedroom- it is a rocker-recliner- great for putting the baby down. I feel blessed today.. Good friends, roof over our head, food on our table, healthy family.. can't ask for more.. Daughter and I were talking about how just a few weeks ago we couldn't wait to get out of Nevada and now we love it here. This is only by the grace of God. He changed our hearts. We will bloom where we are planted..

Here is the daddyman trying out the new sofa.. He has declared it quite comfy..

My friend Ronna gave me this lovely sampler..

The chair and ottoman- with Aaron trying it out.. it is quite comfy.

More Family Fun...

Andrew loves the quadrunner. I have never seen him cry so hard before- when we brought him in the house. And I have never seen him smile so big.. I love riding it too.. I actually went around the block.. It was a blast.. Below pictures are of the daddyman and Eimi with Sam.. And of course Andrew and I..

Our New Toy

As you can see the baby loves the new to us quadrunner. Jeff wants to get another now. We have taught the older 3 to ride it themselves, I have even took it for a spin twice! It was invigorating! I was a bit upset that he bought it since we really need to get a couch but I must admit it is much fun and brought our family much joy today. Jeff is even riding it to work today..

Family Pictures...

Here are some pictures of the kiddos. Sam is missing and Aaron is in next post sitting at the table. I have ooooodles of pictures of Eimi as she loves to take pictures of herself :-)
