My Big Little Boy
My sweet little Jeremiah, who said he was NEVER going to pee n the potty....has been the easiest of the three! Once I told him there were no more 'britches', I asked him what we were going to do and he said, "let's go buy more mommy". When I said no, he looked real hard at me and just sat there thinking. Then... When I put him on some 'big boy pants' just like daddy and William...he hasn't looked back yet!! I'm so very proud of you Jeremiah, but no matter what you say, you will always be my baby boy!! I love you!

Welcome 2012...
Goodbye 2011...welcome 2012!
So many things to talk about, I haven't a clue where to start...2011 was quite eventful, many that I don't want to repeat! A few that we're so exciting that we are still reeping the benefits...
Through much prayer, we started a new church, in a garage! Later bought our old building back and are now having church in the church building I grew up in...it feels great to be home again!! Our children love going to church and can't wait to go back. Every time we pass by they ask if we are going to church! We now have a pastor. We are slowly getting started, we were able to have VBS and have started Sunday School, and now Mission Friends and Kids in Action. Needless to say, it is very fulfilling!!
As you all know, daddy had a major heart attack in November. He was told by the Doctor, that God just isn't finished with him yet! I am so very thankful that God decided to keep my Daddy here with us for a while longer. We were able to enjoy him being home from work during Christmas! He stayed home for a month, keeping the fire in the fire pit going the whole time! We spent many an hour at that pit this December. Making memories to add to our already priceless memories.
2012 brings many exciting opportunities for our family...
Daddy retiring????? No one knows but him.
William will move into Boy Scouts this February. Big deal, very big deal...not sure who its bigger for, him or myself! With Boy Scouts comes boy scout camp...a week away...in Rutherfordton, NC, without me, with a bunch of people I don't know...oh my! I should stop now before I hyperventilate!!!
Virginia Rae is in kindergarten. She loves to learn everyday. She is also taking ballet and tap lessons. She loves dance class and can't wait to go back from week to week. She is now getting ready for recital in June.
Jeremiah is a busy little fellow! He loves to be two steps behind his daddy. He loves anything boy, and sometimes anything girl...I keep catching Virginia Rae putting make up and princess dresses on him!! She really wants a sister too!! He is starting to love Thomas trains, he likes to pour out the tote in the living room and play play play...
.God blessed us beyond what we could ever imagine in 2011, I can't wait to see what he has in store for us in 2012...I wish you the best in 2012!!
Still trying to learn more about instagram, pics to come soon!!

Summer Harvest
91 qts of corn
16 pints of corn
4 gallons of pickles
15 half pints sweet pickle cubes
15 half pints dill pickle cubes
6 qts tomatoes
16 half pints peach jam
12 half pints canteloupe preserves
2 half pints blueberry jam
at LEAST 100 watermelons...
one monster watermelon weighing in at...
37 1/2 pounds!
Whew! What a wonderful harvest! The kids and I really enjoyed the garden this year. William loved watching our honey bees at work, while Virginia Rae lovedpicking eating the tomatoes, and Jeremiah, well, he just liked walking around looking at everything and occasionally eating a watermelon or two! Yes, we really had at least 100 watermelons. We even got a few surprises, some were yellow! The kids loved that!
Here are a few pics from the summer. I sure hope to catch up soon, but school is getting ready to begin again, so maybe I will catch up once a week at least. Virginia Rae is starting kindergarten and William will be in 5th, Jeremiah...he will be "messing" in everything! He is so annimated, I would love to have a video camera on him constantly.

Hello there! We have been very busy lately! Spring and summer are especially busy for us, as we have to plant the garden, weed the garden, keep the lovely deer away from the garden, tend to the bees, and harvest the garden, and last but not least can the garden! I love country living...the best thing, my kids do too...be back shortly, I promise!
Did I mention I'm learning to make sourdough bread??? Yummy...
