Dear Renee,

Dear Renee,

This is what we did while you were busy moving.

We tried to not have too much fun,

as you were working so hard and really not

enjoying the day very much.

We tried, but we ended up having fun anyways.

I hope we can do it again soon.

(Without the moving part)

Love,

The Clarks

Mod Podge rules!

We made this for Callie's bedroom.

It is just strips of scrapbooking paper that is mod podged onto cardboard.

I printed sayings like, "big sister, bookworm, daddy's little girl"

onto scrapbook paper and Callie cut it out for me.

She is the one that made the list.

Fashionista is my fav.

I have had this frame for about 10 years.

Seriously.

I think I may have bought it before Callie was born.

I actually bought three of them.

The glass is broken out of one so I need to get that replaced.

They will look so beautiful in Callie's shabby chic room.

Now we need to decide what to do in the other two.

Any ideas?

Stinky!

This is Emma's ferret Stinky.

He is a little bit stinky but not too bad.

We love him alot.

He is the funniest little critter pet

we have ever had.

He chases us around.

He licks our legs when we get out of the shower.

He loves to chew on velcro.

He is litter box trained.

He steals shoes and hides them under Emma's bed.

He smells Dusty's booty and makes him growl,

especially in the middle of the night when he

gets his cage door open.

He hides under our bed and bites my

toes when I am making the bed.

When he is really happy, he squeaks when he runs.

When he is tired, he yawns.

Isn't he cute!!!!???

Emma's new business

How cute is that?

What you can't see is the sign on the back.

I think she is selling rides and artwork.
Right now her artwork is on display

in the front room.

She has the original artwork taped up on the walls.

She will not sell the originals.

She has created copies that are for sale

in her "gift shop".

I really need to get some pictures of her art gallery.

Fun times.

I am back!!!

The batteries in my camera have been dead,

and I just cannot blog without pictures!

Here is a beautiful Arizona sunset.

Family Business

Jim's mom taught me how to make these

socks when Callie was a baby.

I have made a few pairs here and there

for the girls when they were babies.

Or for a gift for a new baby.

Now my girls are old enough to learn!

It was so fun teaching them.

We can now start a family business!

Conner worked on his turtle.

I will have to post the photos of the

finished project later.

Sock making is our new favorite thing to do when we are

watching Little House On the Prairie.

We have started season 2!

I don't know if this link will work. You might have to cut and paste it. Or, you can google Choosing Thomas. If you are pregnant then you might not want to watch this. It is the story of a couple that choose to trust God and choose to have their son Thomas. Thomas was diagnosed in the womb with Trisomy 13. This diagnosis is incompatible with life. It is a beautiful story.
