Here is the latest on little Holly. She is now 9 months old and very busy! She has 2 teeth, thinks she doesn't need much sleep, and gets into all kinds of trouble. She is trying to walk, so she falls down a lot. But it's going easier and we hear many less thuds. Here is her recent picture, as you can see, she loves the camera and is a regular clown!

School is going pretty well. Having 6 kids in different grades is confusing at times, but their teachers are very helpful and so far even the boys are cooperating. We went on a field trip on Monday so I will have to put a post with pictures sometime next week. Have a great day!

I am terrible about keeping this blog up to date! Well at least if I have no creative stuff to share, I can share pics of my kids. Ms. Holly is crawling now, so there is nothing safe in my house anymore. It keeps her occupied and not fussy though. She is getting her top teeth and is kind of grumpy most days.


Summer is in full swing and it is hot! Most days the 3 oldest kids are with Daddy baling hay or straw. This evening, we are going to Merle & Cindy Sweitzer's pond for Heidi's baptism. This will be my 3rd child to decide to follow Jesus. Makes me very happy!


Devon is having a birthday in about 2 weeks, so I took his pictures the other day. He is sporting a brand new pair of bib overlls that I found at a thrift shop very cheap. I thought the farm made a great background for the photos. I would love to do this for a business I think. Not sure when i would find time though! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hello! I have some new pictures to share. I actually stamped! Here is a birthday card I made for a friend and a baby shower card I CASEd from my friend Robin Merriman. She sent me one after my baby was born and I thought it was so cute I had to copy.

Also, my baby just turned 3 months old! She weighs over 15 pounds, measures 24 1/2 inches, and is as happy as you could ever hope to have a baby be! She loves to bounce and jump and can sit for a whole minute by herself. Well, I have some birthday and anniversary card showers to send out this week so maybe I'll remember pictures! Bye for now.

Hello again!

Hi again after a looong time! A lot has happened since I posted last! I am going to try to be better about posting at least twice a week. A new year and a lot of new challenges to face. We welcomed our 7th child on December 22, 2010 @ 4:14 AM. Weighing 7 lbs. 10 oz. and measuring 18.5 inches, Holly Noelle is a blessing for sure! She is really growing fast and weighed in at 8 lb 4 oz after only 10 days. Yesterday she started to laugh and is getting personality already. Her brothers and sisters are very happy to have her here. She does pretty good with sleeping and the help I get from Hannah and some of the other kids makes all the other jobs so much easier. I am hoping to get caught up on sewing in the next couple of weeks so I can focus on stamping classes again.
Having 5 children in school is a full-time job, too. Hannah is in 9th grade and was just nominated for Honors classes. She is doing very well. Jonathan & Devon do not like school but have tolerated it a little better lately. Galen & Heidi are getting better at reading and enjoy school very much. They thought it was great when we took the family to the Keystone Farm Show on Wednesday. We now have enough pencils/pens/notepads/erasers to supply a whole class of 1st graders for a year or so! Well, that's it for today. Talk to you all soon!
