cabin

I am so bad about taking pictures lately but I do have few of the cabin David and I rented in Beavers Bend last weekend.
My mom and Ron were so awesome to watch the little ones for us so we could get some much needed R&R. It was fabulous. The cabin had its own hot tub and was very private. Do to all the relaxing we did, we didn't really take advantage of all the great things to do there but I hope to go back. We did go over to Girls Gone Wine and bought some great wine made with green apples. They had the best gift shop as well.


We had a great time on July 4th. My mom, Ron, and Grandpa came over. The guys swam, except grandpa of course. We made hamburgers on the grill, fried pickles, and fruit salad. We also went to watch the fireworks. Daxton was not so excited about being up so late so one of us had to walk around with him the whole time. Here is to hoping he will enjoy it more next year.

I decided to jump on the band wagon and do the Mystery Stole 3. Mom kept at me until I agreed. She was right as always. I have never done lace or knitted with beads and I am enjoying it though it is a little hard to work on with 2 little ones around.

I hope you all had a great day yesterday. I will post again tomorrow. Hopefully!!

Dax is 1 year old

Thank you to everyone who made such sweet comments regarding my last post!!! I know it has been awhile since I have made a post. My schedule has def changed since Savy is out of school for the summer!

We had Dax's 1st Birthday party last Saturday!

I call him Daxton the Destroyer and by did he ever destroy his cake! My step dad made the best cakes ever! Daxton even had his own little dinosaur cake!
He was a good boy through the whole party! We had a great time. I can not believe that he is already a year old.


I will be sending my last SP10 package in the next few days.

David and I have rented a cabin to get some much needed R&R this weekend. Mom is watching the little ones. I will miss them but I can not wait! The cabin even has a hot tub. YAY!! I will post some pics when we get back.

I also need to post some knitting pics. I finished the summer tank but still need to do the finishing and I have decided to do a crochet edging on the neck. The yarn was very slippery and that made the bind off around the neck look very unclean. I have started another summer top from some silk I picked up at the new knitting store in Norman. I am really liking it.

I have to go put the pork in the crock pot for dinner. I promise I will start posting more.

How sad

What do you say when there are no words. Someone who has changed and not for the better. Someone who taught you to respect your elders, that blood is thicker than water, who you knew would always protect you. Now they are hurtfull to everyone and see no wrong in what they say or do. How do you say what needs to be said? How do you break a bond with someone you have tried your whole life to please..to hear them say they are proud? How sad to know that there is nothing you can say to make them see. Make them understand what they are about to loose. So much that they should hold dear. How angry I am..how hurt I am...how sad I am!!! Somehow I could look past all the mean things said to me though I can never forget, but now...it is too much to see the hurt he brings to people I love. I fear that he might someday say hurtfull things to my kids. That I can not allow. So we will meet to "work it out"! I know it will not work. I am ready for more hurtfull things to be said that day. I know I will say hurtfull things back. Things he will not want to hear. I wish it did not have to be this way. How does someone change so much? How does their "core" vanish without a trace? I will never understand how someone can be so hurtfull to people that love them so. He has made the rounds through everyone. No one makes him responsible for the hurt he causes. Now it must be done. I just wish it did not have to be me! Even still..I love him and I will miss him. After all he is my Dad.

Sorry to all who read this. I usually do not talk about "personal issues" on here. It is late. I can not sleep again. My mind was full and aching. I had to talk. Maybe now I can sleep. Tomorrow will be a good day. A day spent loving on my babies.

Memorial Day

I am finally back from Odessa. My grandfather was released from the hospital. He still has pneumonia but is doing better. I wish so much that I lived closer to them. I miss them so much.

Savy finished Pre-K and is both happy and sad at the same time. We have several things planned for her this summer so I know she will have a blast.

We spent Mem Day with my mom and Ron.
Dax and Savy had a blast in the sand box and we feasted upon bratwurst, potato salad, and baked beans.
We had a wonderful time as usual!!!

Last night Savy had her dance rehearsal. I am sure my mom will post pics on her next blog. Our camera died but we did get video. Yay.

I finally finished the Reggia silk socks. I will post a pic later. I also finished the front of the summer tank I wanted to do. Of course, I will post it later too.

Need to go get lunch started. David will be here in 45 min.

Out of Town

Just a quick post for my SP partner and others that I am going out of town for a few days. I will be back late Friday night. My grandpa is in the hospital and I am flying in to Odessa to stay with my grandma for a few days. I will make a post when I get back. I hope all is well with everyone.

Feeling better

No pics today! I am finally feeling better! We had campfire last night and it was great as always. Next week is the last one. I am sure going to miss those kids! I really loved running the group but I have decided not to do it next year. I think I just had too much on my plate this year. Once Dax is a little older I might consider running a group again, we will see. I want to have more time to relax with the fam instead of feeling stretched so thin. I am going to take an online summer class. I am a little worried about doing it online but it will give me a chance to continue without needing to be in class 2 nights a week. Savy's dance and campfire are almost over so Mon, Tues, & Wed nights will be free again. I am hoping we can start going to church on Wed nights again. Savy just loved going to dinner and Family Fun Zone on Wed nights. I know she misses it.

I finished the leg on the other Regia silk sock. I have not been knitting much since I was sick so I have not gotten a lot done. Since I am at the heel flap I think I will put it aside and do some charity knitting before Guild on Sunday.

Mother's Day was the best! I just don't understand those moms that think mother's day should be a day for "themselves", away from their children and family. We wouldn't be mothers without our children. How can you celebrate mother's day without your kids!!! It is so sad how many times I hear moms acting like they lost their lives when they had their kids. Sure it is hard, very hard!! But it is amazing and wonderful and full of a love that can not be explained! You should never have children if you are going to resent the change in your life! Anyway, I will get off my soap box now! Check out my mom's blog for pics of Mulberry picking and sandbox fun on mother's day! Now..on to the daily routine. Catch you all later!

SP10

YAY!!! I just got the most awesome package in the mail this morning from my SP!
It could not have come at a better time! I have been very sick and feeling blah! Yesterday mom came to help with the kids and brought me roses and now this! All right before mother's day!
My SP sent me a really cute smiley measuring tape (I always need these), an awesome cinabon candle that is already smelling up the whole house! Yum Yum! I forgot to get a pic of the candle. She also sent a beautiful fan made by the same company who made the candle.
Some truffles that I have have already eaten 3 of. They are sooo good! Two skeins of Lorna's Laces which I have yet to ever try but have been wanting to for quite a while. The colorway is awesome! She also sent a hank of Malabrigo which I have never tried either. I am so excited!!!!
And last but not least, she acutally knitted me a bracelet! It is soo cool! I have never seen anything like it. I wish the pictures turned out better! It is very intricate and the beading is amazing! I don't think I could ever do it myself!
All there is left to say is that my SP ROCKS!!!! I must have gotten the best partner out of all the participants. I could not have imagined such an awesome package! I loved everything in it and will use it all! Sorry if my post is a little off. The meds I am taking are taking a toll on me. I need to go rest for a while. Thank you again SP you are an angel. Thank you for making such an effort to find things I would just love. You went so above and beyond!!! I hope all is well with you!
