For all who may be curious this is where I type from, organize, email, create scrapbooks, etc.
I cannot believe I have not posted on here for almost a month! Well it has been computer crazy time at my house, my screen decided it was time to die, literally there was no blue color left in my monitor! LOL Everything looks so cool now! I also had a video card that decided to go, a motherboard, the hard drive was trying to follow too! ACK!!!! My screen literally looked like it had very cool colored legos across the front of it, which brings me to my other electronic mishap, my digital camera decided to go too! So I did not take a photo of my interesting looking screen, instead said camera is winging it's way to the repair center via UPS, thank goodness it was about a month or so within the 2yr extended warantee so hopefully the shipping cost will be the only expense related to that mishap! Thank goodness for my dad the computer repair guru who lives just a block away & makes house calls! Below are the last few photos I was able to take before my camera just had to be sent in!
I have become a huge fan of Facebook & am on there daily, barring computer issues, or the occasional day we take off & get out of the house. I'll have to do more updating here later.
Little Girl in the Dryer!
Come On In!
Welcome to the chaos we call our life & family!
My DH often says this is the chaos we like to call our family, or something to that effect. To answer the basic questions we here often: Yes! With 7 children we are busy! Yes! It often gets hectic, chaotic, crazy, & overwhelming, we love it anyway! No! We do not wish we had a smaller family we can't imagine our lives with less children, we love them all! Yes! It's tricky co-ordinating everyones schedules thank goodness for the FLYlady calendar (if you haven't heard of FLYlady I really recommend looking up her site!). Yes! We do cook a LOT of food, and we eat all or most of it in one sitting! No! You probably do not want to see our grocery bill, or how much we spend on clothes, footwear, sports, etc. each year! ;-) UPDATE 2019: We now have 1 of the original 7 that lives at home. We have added a 3 wonderful daughter-in-laws and an awesome son-in law, as well as 3 beautiful granddaughters and 3 handsome grandsons with our oldest 4. We have 2 adult daughters who have also moved to their own places.
Chaos, maybe, boring, NEVER! There is almost always something going on in our home, never a dull moment from the adult perspective anyway... you know kids, if it gets "too quiet" they are sure it's a sign of being bored! LOL

In 2008 we moved into a new "project home" I have posted some of the fun & craziness that has happened while replacing flooring, adding a furnace, roof, pantry, texture to the walls redoing a kitchen and much more.
2019 UPDATE: WE NOW have purchased a new "prject home = rehab home" that we hope to move into by the end of September 2019! Again feel free to join us for the ride as we continue our new adventure to upgrade get our home ready for move in! It has been interesting to say the very least!
