No internet!

hey!
I am sad to say that we no longer have internet, coming winter we will probably have it again.
My summer to do list is so long, I want to have a large garden (with no weeds) :) plant some shrubs!  lots of camping, swimming, bbq's and wiener roast!!! etc.. lets hope the mosquitos let us.

According to yesterdays weather winter has just barely started, we didn't go to church cause the roads were very slippery and the visibility was aweful not worth going on the roads, so we stayed home and later got company and had BBQ(asado in spanish)on the bbq while it was raining/snowing.

Easter is coming, all the yummy food!! Horrible timing for a diet. Oh how I love CHOCOLATE!!!!

A easy meal! etc.

If you are like me,  you get up in the morning and the first thing thats on your mind is supper..... What am I going to make for supper??  I don't always enjoy cooking, so on days where I didn't feel like making much, I make Giso (Paraguayan dish) Here are a few pictures on how to make it.... 

fry some onions in a bit of oil

cut up some meat, I did pork.. you can also do ground beef or stew beef.

fry that with the onions

add seasoning: I did Chilli powder, seasoning salt, garlic powder and regular salt.

add water, depends how watery you want it to be.

add noodles, does not matter what kind.

add tomato paste

finished product

We eat it with sour cabbage salad or tossed salad and garlic tst..

its great!!

busy but super day!

Good Day!!
Its saturday evening already, wow does the weekend ever go fast.
We had 4 of my husbands nieces here for a sleep-over.
We started our day quite early today, at about 7:30am Haylee was up, and shortly after that the girls woke up as well.  We started the day with  a pancake breakfast, followed by a tour of the fire-hall, (my husband is a volunteer firefighter.), baked cream cookies, and lots of playing.  For lunch we had left over pizza, chips and grape punch to drink.  After lunch the little 2 went down for a nap, and the older girls went on decorating the cookies,  we did some mixing with food coloring to get more colors.  Also watched Strawberry shortcake movie, followed by making Paper dolls with the Cricut.
I do believe the girls will sleep real well tonight! ( so will I hopefully)
Here are some  pictures of today's activities!

I finished it!!!

Have a great night!!!

growing up too fast!

Wow do babies ever grow fast!!! It feels like just yesterday when Layla was born and now she is going on almost 2 months...yikes!
I went through the girls clothes again,  I seems like that always has to be done, its stressful.  Now I have a big laundry basket full of clothes ready for the the summer, I just need to find a place to store them, the dresser is full.   Just waiting for summer!!!

Haylee wanted to wear everything I took out of the boxes, here she has jacket on that will fit her in the fall and a summer dress.... what a great combination  :)  (not)

I love baby clothes... so cute!!!

Another one of my headbands, Haylee loves necklaces and hair accessories!!

She is growing up way to fast!!  

Have a blessed evening!!!

Projects on the go

Yesterday I got to spend a whole day with friends. We scrapbooked and chatted while the children played so nicely. Today its back to my projects that I started, I want to try to have them all done by the middle of April for sure.
Goal: 4 rag blankets
        10 crayon rolls
        20 head bands

finished sewing it

now the fun part, to snip, snip and snip.

My baby was happy laying on the floor!

Made 2 out of these crayon rolls today.

Super busy day!

Yesterday I had a great and busy day at home, I baked 11 dozen cookies.  I baked some for a bake sale, some for my cousins, and some for ourselves. At the end I had 11 dozen cookies all for ourselves, due to the horrible weather we had last night, we never left the house. The roads were so so bad that it took my husband 3 hours to come home from work instead of 15 minutes.

It does not take long to bake so many cookies when you have a convection oven.

Hamburger cookies with coconut on the edges. SO GOOD!!!

Wednesday!

Good afternoon!
Another day at home, and trying to keep myself from getting bored, bored?? Whats that? My 20 month old  makes sure that there is no such thing, she has kept me busy today, if its not snooping, playing with the toilet water, then its reaching into the bassinet and getting a hold of Layla, and saying "gentle, gentle" according to her she is very gentle, but not to Layla.
 We are so blessed to have such a content baby, made the transition to having 2 children under 2 years a lot easier.

I tried covering a wipes container, it worked ok but the next one will look a lot better, I did not have proper ribbon to put on there.

I made these rag blankets for goody bags for Christmas, and I starting making one for my daughters doll.

I love making these crayon rolls.
I want to make a few this week yet.

I made 5 for some of my nieces and nephews goody bags for Christmas.

Gotta go and make supper before my husband comes home from work.

Wednesday we always have a quick supper, have to be at church at 7, due to being youth leaders.

Have a blessed evening!
