Land Between the Lakes

Tiff and I went on her 5th grade trip together to (LBL) Land Between the Lakes. Here are pics of our trip...

More wildlife... I believe this is a salamender.

This is a Beaver Dam. We learned that Beaver work in twos, male and female. This is impressive to know only two Beavers did all this. 

5th Grade Graduation

My daughter Tiffani graduated from the 5th Grade on Friday May 21, 2010. This is such a Bitter Sweet moment for me. It seems like yesterday I was in High School and found out my whole world had been turned upside down, fifteen and pregnant, would NEVER happen to me. Well don't ever say NEVER. I had Tiffani five months after I turned sixteen. I felt like everything was falling down on me. I was a spoiled teeneger who was only looking out for myself. I couldn't hang with friends anymore cause I had a whole life riding in my hands. I would have never been able to see how much she would change my life. When I watch Tiffani with her day to day stuff I can almost see myself. She is the ABSOLUTE BEST thing that has ever happened to me. She is my best friend (other then my Mom).  I am so Proud of her and Myself for getting through these hard times, but I can truly say God has had a HUGE hand on us through it all. Our lives are now as normal as anyone else with children. We beat all ODDS her and I together!!!

Bird House

The past couple of days I have been in the mood for crafts. Here is what I tried my hand at...

My friend Molly gave me a plain white bird house for Christmas with a paint set. Well today was a rainy day and both kids were at school, so I decided to have a mommy free day :))  This was my creation. I am VERY happy with the way it turned out. I had to show it off

I can't wait to find it a home out side, after I spray it with a protectant coat.

Veggies

My veggies are growing fast. I'm getting more and more excited about fresh home grown veggies.

My garlic is getting off to a great start. Garlic has been the most rewarding plant so far.

I also have green peppers in the second container. My green peppers were from seeds but they are starting to peek out of the dirt.
