Down On The Farm

Yuck! they have those cat things- I guess with all the other animal noises it blends. You would have to have a pretty strong sound machine to sleep thru the night near this barn.

he must think the camera is food because he was very excited and walked right up to me

truly a face NOT EVEN a mother could love

Three year old gives birth to 12 healthy babies....

.....maybe I should be a newpaper lady. I got your attention !

Bran new babies so cute

This pig R-E-A-L-L-Y wanted us to pet him, I was scared he might bite me. Which ,ok! ( duh pigs don't eat people ) but at the time when this 700 pound thing was coming at me, I am not willing to find out. My daughter didn't appear to be helping save her dear mother's life.

I found two very nice ladies that are heavier than me. I believe I will stand here all day.

I can't believe I had wallpaper in my home in 2007

I like the plain color so much better. I can't believe we had WALL-PAPER still but at least it's fixed now.

I can't find the before pictures of the wall paper - my computer is totally MALE it hides things from me and takes a really long time to do what I want.

I think I hate my cat

So my cat, Phoebe has been keeping me up at night. This all started several weeks ago, he just doesn't sleep through the night anymore.He makes a horrible sound right outside my bedroom window ( not the I'm in heat noise- just a loud I am here deal with me noise) so I let him in which seriously takes a full 10 minutes to decide if he would like to grace me with his presents. Then S-L-O-W-L-Y gluides through the door like he is on the red carpet, careful to hold his nose high in the air, he is a confident little brat. All this to shortly there after change his mind and make a lot of noise to go back out again.
I was wasting time on the internet since the cat had woke me again when I found this article..... seriously anyone who has this much time on their hands WOW!
I didn't do this much prep getting my newborn HUMAN babies to sleep thru the night.
Well good night! I got ear plugs :) I know I am the worse pet owner ever but I have had this cat for years and now he can't sleep! Maybe the author of this book would like a new pet.


You can use this knowledge to help your kitty get on a nighttime schedule that's more compatible with yours. Here's how:
THE HUNT. Right before you're ready for bed, conduct an interactive play session, using a fishing pole-type toy. You can do other play sessions throughout the day and evening, but it's this pre-bedtime session that's crucial for resetting kitty's internal clock.
Next comes THE FEAST. Reward the Mighty Hunter with food or a treat. If you schedule-feed, divide up his daily portion and offer a meal after playtime. If you free-feed, take up the food earlier in the evening. After playtime, make a big production over placing the food back down.
GROOMING. Your cat will take care of this.
BEDTIME. If you've led a satisfying play session and offered a food reward, kitty will probably be ready to sleep.
Note: If your cat remains active at night, place a few treat balls or other activity toys out for him to play with while everyone sleeps.

Pumpkin Patch

He said he was too old and wanted to skip the pumpkin patch this year but I saw a smile

The little farm was more fun than the pumpkins. My kids even asked if we could buy a goat, thankfully the city has zoneing laws and would greatly frown upon me having a goat.

My little pumpkins, clearly the most adorable kids here.

Disneyland with Grandma and Papa

Papa Tony had a Birthday

This was the cutiest Tink hat but One Size fits All never fits me

Yes this is Bryan at Disneyland - don't blink you may never see it again. He hates Disneyland and jsut since he was in such a great mood already he ran into some students from his class (while the rest of us were on a ride) and he was holding my purse for me. I really don't think they notice they were trying to get over Mr. Pacheco in shorts and a t-shirt " Mr. Pacheco always wears a tie

I am the queen of fuzzy pictures, I just though I should share with the world my vision without contacts.

Obviously I didn't take this picture maybe my camera needs contacts!

It's King John the king of England from Robin Hood

Is it just me or is Daniel the tallest of us all?

Resting on His Promises

So it has been 1 year and a few weeks since I thought my world fell apart. I have not even paid attention to the timing, God's perfect timing but here I am. None of my worst fears happened. God answered my needs and brought me through my "valley of darkness" without my lifting a finger. He saw me staring into the pit of my own failures. He saw me in my personal Garden of Gethsemane-and he didn't want me to be alone.
I am so quick to think money is the answer and rich people don't have my level of stress but I have made less than nothing for 13 months and God has carried me. My heavenly Father often blesses me through my earthly father but I have not a need that wasn't met. I still have my house, we have never missed a meal and we have had extra blessings. I shall not want, (not because I have learned true happiness does not exist on this earth) but my cup truly runth over and then some. I can't always see how God is going to pay the mortgage or the medical bills but He does and He did not need my help.
I am very close to having the job I want and God continues to open doors. On the way to my written test I heard the song "when I call on Jesus" and again on my way to the oral board reminding me ALL THINGS are possible. Satan has tried to ruin everything I even was in a car accident on the way to the oral board but truly when I come to the end of myself God takes the wheel. He is a gentleman so He does let me swerve all over the road but when I move out of the way He takes the wheel and all is well. So why do I need to re-learn this lesson every time? Why do I still get upset when someone hurts me or things don't go my way? I still have to get to the end of my earthly power before I let go and let God. So if I a sinful, selfish parent know how to give good things to my children why can't I relax and allow my perfect Heavenly Father lavish upon me, HIS CHILD. God is with me every moment and He does not need my help or advise. Even if I have to sing the pre-school songs in my head to remember "My GOD is sooooo BIG sooooooo STRONG and Soooooo MIGHTY there is NOTHING my God can not do" I shall not fear what can mere man do to me ?
