Too much work and not enough progress

Okay so today I am frustrated! I feel like I am working my tail off around here and nothing looks any different, sometimes I think about how nice it would be to have a nice new (vehicle, house, furniture) you name it, so that it would look clean and nice at least for a couple of years.  Starting with old and trying to make it look nice is a lot harder!  I need more hours in the day. And another thing that I HATE, nothing works.  Nothing ever works when I go out and try to start it, for example, yesterday I planned on going out to spray the orchard, guess what the sprayer won't work, I call Chas, he tells me how to get it going, so 1/2 hour later I can finally go out and get it done.  Today I go to start the rototiller, (we have a love/hate relationship), it won't start so after like 1/2 hour and 10 gallons of sweat, I call Chas to see if he has any tricks.  He tells me, it finally starts, so I start tilling and it dies again, I go to start it again and the pull rope breaks. Seriously!!! kidding me.  I told the kids that the rototiller makes me crazy!  I go to drop Brady off to head to Walla Walla for a baseball game, feeling envious of the coaches new suburban and beautifully manicured lawn and mansion I solemnly drive back (in my 1999 suburban) to my anything but new home.  And I just have to laugh to myself, if we had decided to stay in town and have less kids I guess we could have the "new" stuff too.But it's definitely not worth getting rid of a kid or two.  So I will be happy with what I have and enjoy the endless hours of work that I have to do and will have to do until I die!  But it's going to be nice around here one day, DANGIT!!!  (it may just be longer than I would like.)
Come what may and love it!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
