20 and 21 of 52...

Well, it's taken me nearly all day (inbetween everything else) to get this post done. At least I'm picking up internet inside today, so I can sit at the table instead of on the front steps. Also I got my mouse from my desktop on here, so I work better with it. Got a flash drive to transfer some pictures from my desktop to my laptop....so you'd think I was all set now, huh! We'll see. I definitly prefer working on my desktop, I know that for sure!! My helpers planting my flower beds. (Meshayla, Kara & Kaela)

Is there anything prettier than lilacs at Mothers day time? I LOVE them!


My 4 youngest girls, the ones still at home.



My boys...pretty soon #3 will be taller than me too!


My youngest 5 at home plus two older brothers here in town.








Mothers day dinner. The guys grilled steaks (picture on former post) Leon and the boys had really intended to make the rest of the dinner for me too, however somehow Sat. got here, the groceries hadn't gotten bought, & Leon got called into work that afternoon/eve. What's a mom to do anyway? I went and bought the groceries & put together a couple things the night before, Leon stopped at the store & bought a cheesecake & Sunday he and the kids did do MOST of the work getting dinner on the table. Plus all the cleaning up. It was a delicious meal!

My sister in law & Mother in law. We invited them to have lunch with us.
Gma J and her grandkids from this house.




This is our basement family room where I put my BIG table. I already have a 2nd fridge, my freezer & a counter down there, now I'm in the process of getting another set of cabinets w/sink along another wall. When I add a stove down there too, I'll have it made! It will work so wonderful for our big family dinners, potlucks & to use for a canning kitchen to keep the mess seperate from my main floor kitchen!

  4. So many nice pictures this week. You look just lovely. I fondly remember time spent helping plant my mom's flower beds every spring. A great tradition to pass along to your kids.

  5. Nice to hear from your corner again! Nice pix... and you'll love that 2nd kitchen! You need a summer kitchen- you know- out in the yard! So you can tote stuff back and forth! ;)

  7. Good job catching up! Sorry about your computer/internet issues. Some days, I wish I had them then it wouldn't be so tempting to sit down here and spend too much time one the www.

    I'm coveting your second kitchen, by the way... and I know, I'm not supposed to covet. :)
