Yeah.....we trashy like that. (Confessions of a Hillbilly # 987)

Yes my dear friends, that is a Radio Flyer wagon hooked to the back of "Timothy's" tractor. That's how we roll. LOL! This is how we ride to the chicken pen now. Cause who wants to walk to the chicken pen when you could ride in style? Boring! About now I bet some of you are wondering where mama sits. Did you even have to ask? Mama sits up front in Daddy's lap! Doesn't everyone do that? LOL! I will try to get a picture of that in about 6 months when my belly is huge. LOL! Now that will be a good picture! I'll try to be barefoot too.

On another note. We are leaving town! Beach bound baby! (That's why I put in the picture of Maddie blowing a snot bubble in her car seat. This is the kind of gross stuff that only happens when you are stuck in the car on family vacation!) We will be gone for 7 days to the white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores, AL. The kids are so excited that they have wanted to pack the car for the last three days. We are going with my parents, my brother Simon, Rae and Jake (my sister and Ben's brother) with their twins Lily and Iris, Granny and Paw Paw, and my Aunt Kim her husband Jacob and their seven kids.

We're doing something new this year, we will be keeping a travel journal. I got the idea from HERE. We will be doing ours a little different since our children are younger, but it should be fun! We have already started our first entry with our "to do" list for before the trip. We are so excited about this! When we get back I will share some of our travel journal and lots of beach pictures. See you when we get back!

Ok, I'm doing a little jig here! (Glad nobody is videoing me!) We've been traveling so haven't read any posts since the recipe. Normally, I go back and read in order, but this time b/c of time I didn't. Imagine my surprise when you mentioned riding on the tractor with a big belly when I was already laughing about the whole tractor thing. (You guys are better than the Beverly Hillbillies, by the way!) I cannot tell you how excited I am for you, my friend!!!! Wish I could give you a great big hug of congratulations! I am rejoicing with you! And what fun that you and Rae will be going through it together. Oh man, I can't imagine the sewin' that will be going on for those sweet little babes! :) Bet Molly is gonna be doin' some of the best of it, too! :) Hope you have a great, relaxing time at the beach! Love ya!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
