Picture of THE House

Hey all,

We have been very busy the last few months and I have not had time to post anything.

Here is a picture of the house as promised weeks ago. We are almost finished painting the rooms. The children were very excited to pick their room colors!

I have a lot more to catch you up on so be watching! Day trips, family time, and lots of Basketball.

Have a great night!!

Rachel and Family!

THE House

Lance and I are so proud of ourselves.

3 br, 2 1/2 bath, Loft, Office, and the basics! We also have a fenced yard, which will come in handy once the weather gets a bit nicer!

Here are a few pictures! All my Facebook friends have probably seen them. I do post way more on FB than I thought I would.

HA, HA, HA

Then as I went to load pictures I remembered we now have a Mac and I have not transferred any pictures. I am also too lazy to get up and grab the external hard drive to retrieve said pictures.

But since I took the time to start this post, I am going to share it with you!

Really I'm laughing inside so hard right now, at how my day has been going.

I have 4 sick kiddos, landscapers making so much noise while I have 4 sick kiddos, and now this picture less post.

Okay back to being a mom. I will have picture of our house another day!!

I just don't know....

I have been sitting at the computer for over 20 mins thinking of and typing in different Titles. And nothing seems to sound right.

I am really just updating as usual. I'm not witty enough for great blog posts.

Lance, the children and I have had some big changes the last few months. We built and moved into our home. We had family visit. Landon started walking. Annabelle and Mathew started Basketball. Jacob is going potty in the toilet, more often. We bought a Mac. Christmas shopping is finished!

I am sure one of these days I'll post pictures. Now that I set-up the Mac today, I get to learn all the features!! So I will have fun with all our pictures!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! The children and I were invited or to a friends house and had a wonderful time!

More posts to come.........

Happy Holidays,

Rachel, Lance, and Family

Cupcake Fun

I'm not much of a baker. I have only ever made Banana bread from scratch, maybe one day I'll try a cake or something. But for now this post is all about cupcakes well the frosting that is.









Check out this site for the "how to"!!



My boxed mix and I will be trying this out over the weekend! Maybe some black and orange for Halloween, or red and blue for the Jayhawks, or orange and teal for the Dolphins. Who knows since it seems so easy!!! Although getting the right shade may be the most difficult part.



I'll let you know how it goes!! With pictures hopefully!!

and P. to the S. Lance is doing well, he had the "close up" surgery yesterday and will return to work soon. Thanks for everyones thoughts and well wishes!!

Week 2

Week 2 down with no Coke in the house!!!! It has been easier than I thought. I have even been drinking water, amazing I know.



Things have been a bit stressful the last week. Lance is doing well, healing good and back to work in a week.



Soccer today. Bowling tomorrow. Cleaning house always. Enjoying the fall weather. And between everything else raising 4 wonderful children!!







Although I wouldn't mind if it slowed down just a bit for a day or 2!

Week 1

Just an update!!

It has been 1 week with NO Coke in the house!!!!

The children lost their soccer games today. But we made up for it by going on a walk and spending time at the park!!

We are having dinner and a movie tonight in our house, cheap and fun!!!!

Landon is finally calling me MAMA, not Dada!!!

Out with the Coke

Today is day 1 with NO coke in our house.

I have been drinking anywhere from 6-7 cans of coke a day, plus any I would drink if it was a day we would have a meal out.

I am wanting to loss a substantial amount of weight and dropping the soda and adding water is my first step!!

Wish me luck. I'll keep you updated!!
