Happy Daze of January 2016
Instead of waiting till the end of the year to try to remember all the things we had enjoyed throughout 2016 I decided to (attempt) to blog at the end of each month about the past months adventures! So here is January…
This month was a month of change and adjustment… it wasn’t easy but we made it!
January 1st, New Years Day…
We had a big dinner, the last one with all my kids still living at home… tomorrow our oldest moves out on his own. A decision I did not agree with but did not try to stand in his way. A parent never thinks their kids are ready to venture out but sometimes we just have to let go and let God take care of it.
My 38th Birthday
My 38th Birthday
October 12-13, 2012
Once again my birthday rolled around and once again I found myself in a funk. I was not at all looking forward to creeping one more year closer to that “40” mark. At “30” I had a panic attack because I had it set in my head by thirty years of age I should be mature, responsible, and have most of life figured out ~HA!~ So now getting closer to 40 what was I suppose to have “figure out?”
My amazing hubby knew I had been wanting an iPad and was debating between it and a handgun. The handgun would have been practical and probably a better investment than “Another” electronic doo-dad to play with, but hey, I am only in my 30’s, do I have to actually be “Practical” yet? Needless to say…
…I am a proud owner of the “New” iPad (a few days prior to my actual birthday), complete with awesome keyboard case. Do I feel guilty? Yeah, a little bit but I remind myself how much it may help in homeschooling and I get over it.
To My Twin Brother
To My Twin Brother
October 12th, 2012
At 8:42 A.M. October 12, 1974 at the Shelby Co. General Hospital in Center, Texas, I was born. A few minutes ahead of my arrival, my twin brother was born… stillborn. My mother and I was still in the hospital when my twin was laid to rest in Dickerson Cemetery at 2:00 P.M. on October 13, 1974; I was one day old.
A cousin carried his tiny casket to the grave site with my dad, granny, sisters and a few others following behind.
Geocaching The Big Thicket
Geocaching the Big Thicket

We wanted to go geocaching and Village Creek SP has several caches in it. We also love hiking the Sundew Trail and the Kirby Nature Trail and I wanted to put geocaches in the parks. We decided to make a day of it!
First stop was a park we like in Woodville. We walked around a bit before finding a place to hid a cache. While wandering, we noticed some Leaf Cutter Ants. These guys always make me think of:
Proverbs 6:6-8 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

So Thanksgiving “prep” had started and Pinterest was booming in our household, so of course we had to try out some of the cute food crafts we saw in the site.
Thanksgiving Cornucopia Treats was first on the list!
