Daily Deals!


Don't you just love finding good deals? I DO!!! While doing my shopping, I always look for the clearance tags. I keep my eyes open for anything that I can use now or later!

Right now I am keeping my eyes open for Christmas gifts. This is actually a great time, stores are clearancing items to make room for the Holiday items, coming in!

I went down Wallmarts clearance, and found my daughter this great gift. A digital Scrap booking kit (originally 28.88), and a key chain digital photo keeper (originally 19.00), for $7.50 each!

I have linked 5 companies, that have daily deals! lick HERE, or visit my Meals and Deals listed on the left, and click on the Daily Deals in the column to the right, that says Daily Deals!

Flying high!



This was last Spring Break! It was a cold day at the beach, but as you can see enjoyed by all! That's pretty much as high as the kite

got, but they enjoyed it anyways:)
I know it's no so wordless, but oh well!

Here is a similar picture to the one i fixed, but unfortunately when I fixed the other picture, it didn't save the original.
Then when I put the SD card in to get the picture again and do the black and white. I left it in the computer, and it actually changed it on the card:( Didn't even know it could do that!!!!
In the other picture, that i changed, my daughter is standing up not squaring, so her arm is going across the picture, up to the right of Kaydens head!
So, Hopefully this can give you an idea of how the picture that i changed down below, was before the big change:)

Talk about Tuesday!!


We went to the pumpkin patch this weekend, and I took pictures of my children! When I got home and looked at the pictures, i was thinking how cute the picture of Kayden (4 months old ) would look without her big sis's arm in the picture. So I decided to play around with my paint program.


it was really fun! I had never done it before, now no one will ever be able to get me away from it:)


So here are my results!!!
And now I'm hoping I can get better with practice:)

A Day at the Pumpkin Patch!










So today, I picked up the kids early from their Dad, and we headed out to the Pumpkin Patch! We went through the corn maze and I'm amazed we even found our way out! I was very confused! They gave us a cheat sheet map, but I didn't even understand it:) The theme was Narnia, and it was very cool! They did a great job! We had a lot of fun! The baby was awake for about the first 20 min of the maze, but slept through the last 40! Yep! It took us an hour to get through!


We had to find 6 mailboxes with special punches, so the kids could get their special treat at the end!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











I was just having some fun, taking some pictures of my baby girl! She had got her arm stuck in side one of her rattle toys. It was so cute watching her, as she tried to figure out, how to get it back to her mouth:)

WORDLESS WEDNSDAY!!


Talk about Tuesday!! A day late:(

I forgot about all the cool trinkets, and gifts you can get through AVON. I remember my mom ordering when I was little, and decided to take an attempt at being an Independent Sales Rep. I started selling a little over a month ago, and was surprised at all the different products, that are offered.


I have a teenage daughter, who loves the makeup, perfume, and jewelry. It's great, we can get it all for a decent price! She, also,was able to purchase a pair of slippers!


I have another daughter who loves Hannah Montana. I purchased the watch for her birthday, now she wants everything else:)










This new campaign book even came out with some NFL watches for men!





Come take a look at my Avon blog http://imyourgalavon.blogspot.com

Football!!!









This is my handsome football payer:0)

Yesterday he told me "I am going to play college football, then play for the NFL. But I will still play baseball!"



As he sits pondering his statement, daydreaming about how life will be, he asks "How much money do football players make?" I tell him millions, if they're good! His eyes grow huge! "Do they really spend all that money" Smiling at the surprise in his eyes, I tell him "Yes they buy themselves and their family big houses and nice cars!" His face beams with joy as he blurts out "I could have the hugest house EVER!!!!"



Then he sits back and daydreams some more! Then with complete sincerity says "Wait how many years do I have to go to college to play in the NFL!" :(

I was tagged!!

I was tagged by my mom, a week ago! I wasn't really sure what to do and got busy with things! So now I am going to honor that tag. I guess I have to write a few things about myself, then tag others! I don't know many bloggers yet, but hope to learn more each day:)
Ok....
1.) I am 34 years old

2.) I am a mother of 4 lovely children, and not really Step-Mother of 2 lovely girls, but pretty much play the rule:)

3.)I Love animals! I really miss my dogs:(

4.) I was raised in a Christian home, and thank God for that everyday. I am a Christian and fully admit my life is not where I would like it to be right now, and long to become a better person and be the person God wants me to be.( hope this isn't to personal, but it is how I am feeling at the moment.

5.)I love all kinds of music! I always wished I had learned to play the drums and the guitar!

6.)I have a large family and love it! I wouldn't give it up for the world!!!! I know my children love it also! Although we all have our differences we love each other unconditionally, at least I know I do and I hope they all feel the same:) :)

7.) and last but not least, I really am not sure what to put---I guess I'm just the kind of person that wants to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I would like to be every ones friend and have everyone get along! Unfortunately in this world this does not work to my benefit the majority of the time:)

Mom was not kidding everyone loved the Runza Casserole, she posted on her webpage - http://hdmcfar.blogspot.com/


Runza Casserole


3 cans crescent rolls (I only use 2 cans) I used 2 also Perfect amount for 9X13


2 lbs. hamburger


onion to taste I chopped up one whole onion


4 cups shredded cabbage ( or you can use packaged cole slaw mix) I used half a cabbage


2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese. Or a mix of both. Swiss would be good also. i used Monetary Jack I had left from a nummy chicken enchilada casserole, I will post later:)


3 full carrots i added these, and shredded them with my cabbage( pretty much the same as my egg roll recipe, which i will try to post this weekend)

I also added 2 cloves of garlic for flavor!






Brown hamburger with onions. Drain. Salt and pepper to taste. Add cabbage to hamburger mixture and steam until cabbage is done. Place half of the crescent rolls in the bottom of a well greased 9x13 pan to form bottom crust. Put cabbage and hamburger mixture on top and then add cheese and cover all with the remaining crescent rolls. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Cover with foil the last 10 minutes so the rolls don't burn.

Talk about Tuesday!











































I have been so busy with things, I didn't post anything for my son, on October 10th. (His Birthday) So, I figured I would talk about him today!
My son Ryker just turned 9. He has always been such a blessing! With having my 2 wild girls first, God blessed me with a mellow relaxed boy!
He can be pretty rambunctious, when together with friends. Other then that, He still likes to cuddle with his mommy:)
He is the only boy surrounded by many girls, but I am hoping someday he will be the most caring and loving husband and father, because he will already know so much about how women work:) He was very disappointed when we found out we were having another girl, but now he wouldn't trade her for the world!
He loves his baby sister so much, and he loves that she looks so much like him, as a baby!
Ryker is a wonderful baseball player, and he is catching onto his football quite well! He loves to play sports. He also loves his video games. It is amazing to watch him with those games! He just flies right through them, mastering them and asking for a new game:)
He is very good in school and always wants to be the best student! The other day his 7th grade sister came to me with a math problem, they couldn't figure out! I told her to read it to me, and as Ryker sat at the table doing his homework, he blurted out" That's easy! It's 6!", and he was right! Sometimes he just amazes me! I know God has wonderful plans for my baby boy, and I hope he chooses to go in the ways God leads him, making the right choices in life!

I Love you Ryker! Happy late birthday!
