Hmmmm I'm an Ice Cream cake, yeah I guess that works!!

You Are an Ice Cream Cake

Surprising, unique, and high maintenance.
You're one of a kind, and you don't want anyone to forget it.
You're fun in small doses, but it's easy for people to overdose on you!

Ahhh look how they have grown







As you can see that don't stay still for very long. Around 2 weeks to go and they are ready for new homes. We have a home for Cali the calico.I imagine the siamese looking one will find a home fast as well. They are all too cute I love the little really white guy he is sweet and the stripey guys are very adventurous. Ahhhh I love kittens. Anyway thought I would share pics of the fuzzy little darlings.

House destruction, I mean spring cleaning, LOL


HERE IS MY ONE WEARY OLDER HELPER I THINK HE WISHES IT HAD BEEN HIS WEEK FOR CAMP
You ever notice how you start out with good intentions and thoughts and then it seems that what was okay already but you thought you could make it better then it snowballs into a huge mess that looks like a tornado went through. LOL. Part of it is my fault of course, I have not actually gone through the kids toys in a couple of years or more, sigh........ There is a whole room of toys of course I have 6 kids, and well intentioned friends and family. And okay I admit it, hello my name is Amy and I buy my kids toys without getting rid of any old ones first. I tossed out broken ones but still have not yet gone through and gotten rid of what does not get played with etc. That will have to wait until I have more time. At least they are all in the play room. SO then I decided to clean out my closet, okay I admit it storage shed that is disgused as a closet from the outside. 4 storage boxes of stuff I need to deal with ahhhhhhhhh. SO now they are sitting in my room waiting for me to finish. I am also finally going through all the clothes we have and finding either people who can use it or it will go to a friend who is having a garage sale. OHHHH YEA and to top it all of we have been ripping out the old carpet. This house has hard wood floors in the house, and for some lame reason it was all covered with hideous shag, long hideous shag old hideous shag okay I think you understand just what kind of shag it was, LOL. So I am weary plus as two of my helpers are at camp, I am down a couple of sets of hands. Oh well.

I hope that everyone has a much more restful weekend then I am.

Hugs
Amy

It's summer time



It's summer time and camp starts today. Here is a pic of our cat Misty Speckles sitting with my DS duffles and sleeping bag. Apparently she is already to go. My DS who is 12 and my DD who is 11, are on their way to camp. Our pastor goes with them and they were pretty excited this morning. This camp has lots to do but is also a real blessing to the kids that go. I am happy that our pastor stays so that our kids have someone they know around if they need something. Next week it is our oldest turn to go and I know he is excited. Then we have 4th of July and my brothers wedding, then my youngeest DS 4th birthday, and then my sisters baby shower. This is all between now and the 15 of July, plus my sister is due before the end of July. My grandma from Ca will also be here from the 3rd through the end of July to stay until my sisters baby is born. Plus my two Marine brothers will be here for a couple of weeks. Yeah!!!!! Anyway I hope that eeryone has an awesome week. Try not to push too fast this early in of the summer, remember summer is a distance race, kinda like a marathon. LOL.
Be Blessed

Pray for baby Kaleb and his parents

Pray for baby Kaleb.









Hello I thought I would share this please pray for baby Kaleb and his parents. It is a shame what people get away with. Pray that God can heal this little boy.

The wind........ is gone well sort of, LOL


Well thankfully the wind has slowed down here in Kansas. For a few days I was worried that if we did not anchor down the small children and dogs they might end up in Nebraska, LOL. You know it would have been awesome if I had a windmill in my back yard, boy the expense for electricity could have been brought down a bit. I know these things are a bit unsightly, but the money and natural resources they save I think well offsets they look of the windmills. They are not that bad anyway, they are kind of cool really sort a an architectural amazement. When I was a kid we drove up to San Fransisco a lot. We always were excited to come up the the hills where all the windmills were. There would be herds of cows grazing underneath and around them. SO I know it is not just because of the cows in Kansas. Oh well you know someday it may be that we have no choice and there are windmills everywhere. It is probably something we should have done years ago. California has had theirs for years at least 23 or more as I can remember and I know they were there before that., LOL not sure why I decided to chat about windmills today, LOL.

Have an awesome day and where ever you are remember if it gets awfully windy don't forget to anchor down the pets and small children.

Mmmmmm Milk, LOL

We just got home with our fresh from the cow milk. Yummmmmmy, My kids are so thrilled to have this wonderful milk it is no longer just called milk, it is called COW milk as they have seen for themselves were the milk comes from. SO it is offically COW milk. I enjoy it as we can make our own butter and have cream to use in baking. Plus it is so much better for you. My husband who had some issues with store bought milk can drink it.
The visit with friends was awfully nice as well. We sure enjoy visiting with Christina and her kids, they are pretty neat.

I hope everyone has an awesome day today. Be Blessed

The anonymous comment

To address a comment!!! I WILL NOT POST YOUR COMMENT AS YOU DO NOT FEEL LED TO EVEN ADMIT TO WHO YOU ARE. AM I JUST SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE WORD OF SOMEONE WHO IS HIDING BEHIND ANONYMITY. WHY WOULD I DO THAT??? I WILL HOWEVER MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT

I am not sure who you are since you do not feel the need to publish your name. But unless you are the one person who knows....... HOW CAN YOU KNOW??? NO ONE CAN TRULY KNOW UNLESS YOU LIVE IN THE HOME. I AM SUPPORTING SOMEONE I FEEL I SHOULD SUPPORT AND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO WILL DO THE SAME AS THEY FEEL LED. THAT IS MY PREROGATIVE JUST AS IT IS YOURS TO SUPPORT WHOMEVER YOU WANT TO SUPPORT. IF YOU LIVE IN THE MCPHERSON COUNTY AREA I WOULD SUGGEST YOU GO AND PICK UP A COPY OF LAST SATURDAYS NEWSPAPER THERE IS A WONDERFUL ARTICLE ON PAGE 4 WHICH TALKS ABOUT NICE GUYS AND WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF. PEOPLE HIDE THINGS FROM THE WORLD, WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW OUR BAD SIDES, everyone is like that, so truly everyone is two faced. Thankfully God knows our hearts and can see us for who we are, so unless you lived in the home everyday since the marriage began, you can not know with an absolute certainty what either one of the two adults is like.

THAT IS THE TRUTH!!!! AND I WAS IN THE COURTROOM AS WELL AS FRIENDS WHO HEARD THE DA POINT OUT THAT BRAIN ADMITTED TO THE ABUSE WHICH CAUSED THE PROTECTION FROM ABUSE ORDER IN FRONT OF THE VERY SAME JUDGE. NEITHER BRIAN OR HIS DEFENSE LAWYER DENIED IT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT SAME JUDGE, SAME VERSE, SAME STORY, THE JUDGE AGREED THAT YES THAT HAD BEEN THE CASE, SO HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN THAT????

And I will support whom ever I feel led to support through prayer and my convictions of what is right and wrong. All we can do is pray for the situation and all of those involved and that is that.

Ksmilkmaid

Please pray for the Kansas Milkmaid and her children as they deal with domestic violence and the court system. We are praying for strength and peace and safety. As well as healing for all the parties involved. God can work miracles and heal all the parties concerned.

We have kittens.







Awww nothing is as cute as kittens. Aren't they darling. The kids of course love them all. But we already have 4 so we do not need 9 cats. Can you imagine, LOL
