What a pout!

New Family Pictures

So it has taken me awhile to get my new family pictures on here. This summer has been so busy with gardening, playing with Bo, Family reunions, and normal everyday stuff.

I loved how these pictures turned out. The photographer did such a great job! She was great with Bo and they best part is she put ALL the pictures on the disc for me for the same amount.

We took the pictures on our property that my parents gave us when we got married. We want to build a house up here in the NEAR future.

Our whole family. Bonnie, Foxy, Freddie, Bo and Tracy

This is so cute of Freddie

I love this shot. Bo and Freddie in the back and Foxy at my feet.



First stage of a pout



Full on pout. I love that she caught this!

I guess it took a lot out of him to get his picture taken. He was so good for the shoot.

It's going to be a great day!

So excited that today is here! Lately I have been getting up early around 5:45 AM or 6:00 AM. That might be normal for some people but for me I usually like to sleep in more. However I have discovered that if I get up early I have more time to do things that I need and want to get done before Bo wakes up.

I get to go look at our family pictures we had taken last week. The lady did such a great job! I am going to re-do my picture wall in my family room with the new pictures. I can't wait to get them printed off and put in frames!

Then after lunch Bo and I are going to my mom's house to make Father's Day presents. I found the idea from the blog That Artist Woman. She has so many great ideas for kid crafts! I will post our finished projects when we get them done.

I am so thankful to be a wife and a stay at home mom so I get to do these fun things with Bo!

Have a great day!

Questions for Friday, June 17th: (Special thanks to @gasfamily, @MarandaLamping, Sandy, Lorilynne, and a question from the Deck of Random Question cards [i.e. sending out an SOS for question suggestions!] for their question suggestions! Have a fun question? Head over to my community or shout it out on twitter to me, @5crookedhalos, using hashtag #5QF!)




1. What is your favorite summer time activity?
I absolutely love to garden. Flowers or Veggies I love it all. It is so exciting to me to see the little seeds poke their heads up out of the dirt. I also love to can then when it is time.


2. Do you have one laundry soap you stick to, or do you buy whatever's on sale?
Oh yes! I used to love Tide. But now the laundry soap I get from an online store that makes only GREEN, ECO-FRIENDLY products.  It is 6 times concentrated so I only have to use a little bit and it is as gentle on our cloths as tap water.I love the smell. But the biggest thing I love is that it is chemical free so I am not putting harsh chemicals that irritate my families skin into our cloths!



3. What is your favorite dinner to make in the summer?
Anything on the BBQ grill. And corn on the cob.


4. Do you have any talents?
I can play the piano a little bit. But this is the best talent. I have a pretty flat head I think and I can balance a cup, can, or jar on my head and walk around.




5. If you could instantly be an expert in something, what would it be? Why?
It would have to be to let things go that bother me. I try to let them go but I usually take a few days to get it out of my system. So for the two days I am sitting around thinking about how this person or that hurt my feelings or said or did something so stupid.

Family camping trip.

Fun craft for kids

One favorite activity that summer brings is Family Reunions! I love family reunions. We had one this past Sunday with my mom's side of the family.

We ate some good food, visited with family we haven't seen for a while and did some fun kid crafts.


This one is so simple and fun and not to mention CHEAP!! You gather rocks wrap them in tin foil and bake in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes. You want them warm enough to melt crayons but not burn little hands. Take them to the table and unwrap them. Give each kids a few colors of crayons and let them create something on the rock.


They loved seeing the crayons melt on the rock. Bo is 2 1/2 and he loved this project.

Mommy liked making one too.

Bo's masterpiece

I am going to put these out side by my flower pots so Bo can play with them.
