Mamma Mia !!!!!!!!!!!!!

A week of Thanks

2008-11-24T11:14:00.000-08:00

Julie at living on less, Started a challenge on Thankfulness! Starting today, each day we are to list something we are Thankful for!

I am Thankful, I was raised in a Christian Home, with good Morals. I don't know how I would have made it this far, in this world, Without my Parents installing the Values of Faith in Christ! I know with the challenges I face in life everyday, I am constantly brought back to the things I was taught as a child!

Unfortunately, I don't always listen, and I make my wrong choices, but I will ALWAYS know GOD is there for me, And will never leave me or forsake me!!!!! Hebrew 13:5

Shopping Strategies for the 12 Weeks 2 Christmas

2008-11-24T10:13:00.000-08:00

My Shopping, is pretty much, Whatever I can find on clearance.

As the kids are getting older this is getting more difficult, but I do what I can! Right before Christmas, at a lot of stores many things are being clearanced out, to make room for the Christmas things, coming in!

This year I have found all my 12 year old & 5 month old daughters gifts in the clearance @ Wallmart, Fred Meyer, and Target.

I haven't had as much luck with my 9 year old son, and my 13 year old daughter. I have found a couple little items, for them and stocking stuffers, though!

Now the items I haven't gotten yet, I am hoping to find the day after Thanksgiving! If I don't find them , then It will probably just help me change my mind and get them something else:)

I used to have a separate checking account, also, that each month I put about $10 dollars in, and labeled it my Christmas account! That did help for a couple of years! I really should start that again, for next year:)

My strategies aren't very organized, I just always go down the clearance, and keep my mind open to what the children want or like! They don't always get what they wanted, but they always love what they get! There have been times that they are even happier they didn't get what they asked for!!!!!

12 Weeks of Christmas

2008-11-21T08:36:00.000-08:00

I have decided for my nieces and nephews, I will be making Quillows. If I have time I will make them for my kids too.

I just need to get some of the 40% off an item at JoAnnes, that come out every week! I broke my computer and can't print them out. So I will have to do it at my moms this weekend.

For the older girls I'm sure I'll b doing Hannah Montanna, the younger girls princess, and the boys will be sports and trucks. I will probably do most the same material to make my 40% an item go further:)

Started an Etsy Shop:)

2008-11-20T18:54:00.000-08:00

Our Antique pitures

2008-11-17T22:19:00.001-08:00

Friday, the kids got home from school, and it was time to curl all the girls hair!

Mops had a picture fundraiser, to take antique pictures.

The girls were all having so much fun getting ready. I had a hard time keeping them still , to not mess up there hair.

My son Ryker was playing video games, and complaining how he didn't want to take his pictures, and he wasn't going. Of course that's all just for girls:)

So, in between preparing dinner and the babies cries (who of course would not take the nap I planned for her. So she would be all ready for pictures), I was running back and forth between girls, curlers , curling irons, and bobby pins. Making sure not to burn the poor girls, as I'm pulling them every which way. I wanted them perfect for their pictures.

But of course by the time we got out the door and rushed into the church for our evening of poses! We were'nt quite so together!!!

We got all the dresses on, and fought my son to wear his overalls, without his pants underneath. I have never known a boy to be as modest as my son:) They were baggy, and he had to have his pants under. So we rolled his pants up underneath trying our best to make sure they wouldn't show!:)

As I saw my baby girl sitting for the first time in a little chair, i just had to break out my camera. So snapping away I realized, I had better stop! I'm sure they wouldn't be very happy, since of course it would keep me from buying there $40 a sheet picture:(

I wish I would have thought of getting pictures of the others kids too, because of course I am going to want to buy them all, I just know they are going to be great. But I will have the 1- 11x13 with all of them together, which of course will have to go up on the wall, for everyone to see as we enter in the house.

It was a lot of fun. wearing, but FUN!

More wordless Wednesday.............

Good old days of Mam and Sir :) I wish the children where still taught the respect in the class rooms!

I grew up going to a Private school, which had a lot of the same rules as this classroom from 100 years ago. I think I learned a lot from the respect I was raised to have!

I know, I can never make it without words! I'm not known for my big mouth or anything:)

I just love to watch the cute things that my baby girl does!

One of the funny things she does, is she sucks her thumb, while sucking on her bottle! I push her thumb out, but she always puts it back in!

I have never seen a baby do this before, and it cracks me up every time. It's hard get a good picture, but I hope you can see. It is just to funny!

Trick or treat

2008-11-03T19:31:00.000-08:00

Wow, this Halloween, was finally a decent temperature for the first time, since having my first child, 13 years ago. Normally, the kids have to be bundled up they can't move, in fact this year my son was so warm from his thick long sleeve shirt and sweatshirt under his costume, he was completely drench. Poor boy!!!

We headed out at 5:30, I thought it was way to early, but they saw another child out, and the fun began:) I couldn't believe the hand fulls of candy people where handing out! The got way to much!! We ended at 7:30 and and they ended up with 2 ice cream buckets each:( Good thing they tend not to like a lot of it, and that gets handed over to Kevin for his lunches.

12 Weeks of Christmas - Caramel Corn

2008-11-02T15:52:00.000-08:00

Here is my Caramel Popcorn recipe! My whole family loves it and begs me to make it, all the time! Some of my family likes it with peanuts, others do not! So I make one half batch with peanuts, and one half without! I personally love it with the peanuts. It seems to add an Little extra flavor to the whole thing, that i really like!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 quarts popped popcorn

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place popcorn in a very large bowl.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat.
Place in two large shallow baking dishes and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.

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!

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:)

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!

2008-10-26T20:08:00.000-07:00

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!

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!

Football!!!

2008-10-18T23:08:00.000-07:00

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!!

2008-10-17T18:45:00.000-07:00

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:)

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.

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!

A couple of things I have done to try and earn a little extra are:http://www.inbox.com/ and http://www.cashcrate.com/ . I've earned about $10 on each in the last 2 weeks. I haven't been very faithful with going on each day.

On Cash Crate when you fill out the info, you just click on 2 offers then exit out. I have still been credited for most, even though I don't complete the whole thing. Because, of course I don't want to apply for a bunch of credit cards, or buy things i don't want, just for a couple dollars:) You can use my email krisijo@gmail.com to sign up these, if you like!

They aren't much so far, but hoping to get more if i become more faithful, and learn more about them!

Craft Day!!!

2008-09-29T11:15:00.000-07:00

Craft Day was great, I think we all enjoyed ourselves! My older sister showed us all how to make headbands and hair bows. It was amazing, how you could take the same ribbon, put it in a different order, and come up with so many beautiful different patterns!

It was difficult at first, but once we all caught onto the weaving pattern, they really came together, and went much quicker! I can't wait to do more for all my girls!

The 2 youngest cousins, got to know each other a little as they laid together, grabbing each others hands, and tugging on each others toys, it was adorable!

We are all looking forward to getting together again in the Spring!

Day 6 Hollywood then HOME!!!

2008-09-24T13:30:00.000-07:00

So this morning we checked out of motel, and headed to Hollywood to check out the Walk of Fame. We ran into a bunch of people dressed up as different movie characters. Never having been there before, we didn't realize they depend on getting tips for pictures and autographs. We didn't bring cash! But my son was so happy to see Jack Black, Zorro, Spider Man, etc. They were going straight up to them for autographs, and they were already posing for pictures by the time we could spit out that we had no cash! Some of them were OK about it but others were quite rude! I was a little irritated, because we were trying to walk through them without stopping at all of them, feeling bad I didn't have cash, but they ask the kids if they want pictures and then are rude when they found out there is no money! I don't think that is very fair. So I gave up on feeling bad and just started taking pictures.

Then we were back on the road heading home to get my 2 girls that were at Grandmas!

California Trip day 5

2008-09-24T13:15:00.000-07:00

Splash City is the destination today! We were going to go to Magic Mountain, But the youngest (7) Cried up to every roller coaster we went on, even though she enjoyed it when she went:( So we went to the water park! Still there was crying just looking at the water slides, so her dad pretty much just hung out in the Wave pool with her, while i took the others on the slides! It was a great day we stayed there until closing)

Day 4 California

2008-09-24T12:43:00.000-07:00

California Adventure! It was even hotter today, and no shade over these lines:( I thought it would be so much fun, the kids wouldn't want to complain:) But, the heat and the long lines didn't go over well:(

So we went on all the most popular rides! The Toy Story Ride was one of the favorites, and of course the Big Roller coaster. I think I enjoyed the Flight over California Ride the most, It is amazing how sitting in a seat with a movie screen all around you, can feel so real.It felt like you could just reach out and touch everything.

It only took about 4 hours to go on everything we wanted, so then we headed back over to Disneyland, to get our autographs. On the way out we ran into Chip & Dale, Stitch, and Minnie and Pluto.

We got over to Disneyland and the parade was just about to begin. We had the best spot! We were in the middle with the benches. The girls stood right at the edge of the road, and all the characters were talking right to them! They even got some High-Fives.

When the Parade was all over we went over to Town Hall and found out where some of the other characters were so we could get pictures and autographs!

Day 3

2008-09-24T12:27:00.000-07:00

Today is Sunday, Off to Disneyland! The kids are very excited! It was really packed, and very hot. So unfortunately it didn't take to long for the complaining to begin! We Pretty much looked for the main rides and went on them. But there was up to a 45 minute wait at most of them. Luckily there did seem to be some shade in the lines. We didn't see many characters today, so we didn't get any autographs.

We ended up cutting leaving after about 6 hours, the kids wanted to go swim. So back to the pool!!!

California Trip day 2

2008-09-24T12:04:00.000-07:00

The 2nd day we were off to Universal Studios! We went to the Water World Show first and the kids love it! My son wants to see the movie now, but the movie store in town doesn't care it anymore. He was very disappointed:(

The kids enjoyed the tour, we ended up in the back, which the kids were a little disappointed about. But it was all worth it when we were visiting the Bates Motel, and Mr Bates was coming at us and ended with knife in hand right beside my boyfriend, Kevin as we were driving off:)

We did get a nice view of the demonstration on how they blow up cars also. I was pretty happy to get such a good picture.

Then we were off to all the other rides, the kids really enjoyed the Simpson's ride!

While we were in line for the Back draft, the Scoobey Doo gang drove by and waved to us. That was the last excitement of the day, then back to the Motel to swim for the evening!

Our California Trip

2008-09-24T11:45:00.000-07:00

This summer we took a vaction to California. An 18 hour drive with 4 kids. My oldet didn't want to go, because she couldn't bring a friend and she really wanted to go to Sea World, but Sea World wasn't on our list this time. So she stayed with the baby @ Grandmas house. I know Grandma enjoyed having them for the week, but I sure missed them.

So we had my 2 other children, and my boyfriends 2 children. We made sure we headed out at night so the kids would sleep on the way, but that didn't go over so well. They were so excited about getting their, the girls didn't sleep well. So we ended up hearing a lot more "Are we there yet"s then we had wanted:)

We got to our motel about 4:00! We hit the LA traffic we didn't figure in. I guess it starts around 2 like it does in the Seattle area! So we settled in got some Little Ceaser Pizza, and went swimmimg!

I have just started a business, as an Independent Sales Rep, with Avon.

I was trying to think what I could do for my e-customers, and decided I would have a drawing every 2 weeks! Each person who places on order through my web page, will be entered in a drawing!
This week it is the choice of a Crystal rhinestone Necklace or Earrings!
My deadline for placing orders is noon of October 1st. So, I will do the drawing, Oct 2nd. Then I will post the winner, and have them email me the information to get their prize off to them!
To visit my Avon website, you can link on the upper right hand corner, that says AVON, or go to youravon.com/kristinapetersen or email me at urdistributor@live.com

My Family

Hi, I am a 34 year old mother of 4. I have a 13 year old daughter, who plays volleyball and will be starting basketball for the first time, this year. My 11 year old daughter, is an excellent gymnast, and will be playing volleyball this year. Baseball and football are the sports for my 8 year old son, and when he's not playing outside, he is playing his video games. And last, but not least my adorable baby girl! She is just 3 months old, and is adored by everyone.
My boyfriend also has 2 girls, 7 and 9! They are with us half of the time, but usually ends up to be more. So we usually have a house full with 6 active children:)

Recently, I have been trying to find ways to be able to stay home with my new baby, like I did with my others! 3 weeks ago I just signed up with Avon, and figured I would give it a try! Didn't do so bad on my first order, I am pretty excited about being an independent Sales Rep.
