The Tooth Fairy

OK. Faith has already lost about 6 teeth. The last time she lost one I had said she was going to break the tooth fairy and she says "Then I'll break you because you are the tooth fairy!". So last night she loses another one and I have no money on me so I tell her that she could wait until Friday and I'd give her some money on top of her allowance for her tooth since she knew there wasn't a tooth fairy. Wrong answer! She cries hysterically and says she can't believe I just told her there was no tooth fairy! So I say go ahead and put it under your pillow and see what happens then. Luckily, Jamie had $2 in his wallet so he put it under her pillow when she fell asleep....LOL. I'll wait and ruin Santa Claus for her next month.

Purse Party

I had my purse party Thursday evening. It went very well. Some crazy things were happening at home so my wonderful neighbor Jen let us use her house for the party...she is awesome. I had about 20 ladies show up...some I didn't even know (I think they were friends of friends). She sold $1300 in purses in an hour. I got $130 in free stuff....yay. I got 3 purses for $20. Can't beat that! I think I'll have another one. Purses are my weakness!!

More Moms!

Tuesday night we had 3 ladies at the Manna Market who inquired about the Moms CLUB. I talked to them and they are going to come to the next meeting. I also had one call me. That's 4 new moms!! We also had 3 new moms at our last meeting....God is opening up so many doors for us! We have a group of almost 15 young women now. Some of the youth girls are going to come out and watch all the kids for us so that the mom's can enjoy themselves and get something out of the meetings and not have to chase their kids. Thank you so much to the girls that are volunteering their time to do this for us. Thank you God for all these blessings!

Great Weekend.....Greater Friends

I have some of the best friends ever. Now I have new friends, church friends, work friends, etc.. .and they are great too. In 7th grade I met the 11 closest friends I've ever had. Most of us went through grade school together and were friends even before that but that's when our "group" started. Now 23 years later we are all still friends. We keep in touch and try to get together a few times a year. This weekend we got together at Tracy & Tony's house in Mitchell, IN. 10 of us made it with kids in tow and a few husbands. My hubby was at our church men's retreat. We have an awesome picture of the 10 of us, a few husbands and our 17 children together. I will post that later. We had a blast eating, talking and the kids played so well together. Tracy & Tony have a beautiful home they have worked hard for and a huge yard. We had plenty of room for play time and a bon fire last night. I thank God for these wonderful friends I have and can count on any of them for anything and we are all believers in Jesus Christ...how awesome is that?!?!?
Here's who made it...Connie (Baker), Kerry, Grace, Luke and Eli Phillips; Tracy (Wood), Tony, Hannah and Dalton Clark; Lori (Carter), Adam, Aiden and Brenna Wenz; Tara (Perigo) and Mya Marotti {Jason and Lucy were home}; Jessica Tubbs; Susan and Dylan Barnett {Jim was home}; Sonya (Barnett), Emileigh, Alyson and Wyatt Franz {Eric was at the men's retreat}; Jennifer McConnel and Lois; Julie (Barnhill), Trey and Garret Whipple {Sam was home}; Me and the girls....missing were Jodi Haynes and Trisha (Ingram), Jason, Kelseigh, Jonah and Grace Howard.

Convertible

For those of you that don't know we got a new convertible last month. We've been needing a second vehicle for back up and Jamie has his work truck but can't use it to drive to church or help me with the girls activities so we've been looking but you can't find anything decent and used for under $1000. Jamie's uncle happened to have this car in his driveway that he wasn't using and hadn't driven in three years. We got a really great deal on it and it's cool!!! Thank you to Uncle Jimmy!!

Mom's CLUB

Just a praise on the wonderful things going on with Mom's CLUB. We have a couple of new moms and one has started coming to church and is bringing her family there. She is awesome!! We also have our regulars and it's going so great. We are forming great friendships and I love it. This coming week we are doing pedicures for the moms. One week we discuss a topic and then the next time we get together it's a time to focus on mom. Thank everyone who comes and helps with the meetings and make them so successful. Thank you God for bringing these ladies into our lives.

The sickies

OK now that we've changed from the A/C directly to the heater within a day everyone's getting runny noses. Hope is notorious for having a runny nose most of the winter. I think she may have allergies too. The poor thing has a runny nose and puffy eyes and keeps putting her little hand on her head and saying "I no feel good". Time to stock up on children's Tylenol!

New puppy!

OK. I said no more dogs. A friend of mine told me that the VHS was going to euthanize all the older dogs because they needed the room (this is not true though) so the girls and I went last week just looking. The dogs were either not house broken or too big. We found a cute mix named Faith and we were going to consider her. Saturday morning at the pet parade we met a lady I work with and her daughter had a miniature pinscher and the girls fell in love. I've always wanted a little dog like this but they are usually $300 or more. She said her dog had a brother left and the owners wanted to get rid of him for a good price. We went by Sunday to see him and well now we have Jake Ryan (Faith named him). Isn't he cute!!? (this isn't actually Jake..he hasn't had his photo taken yet..but this is what he looks like)

Fall Festival Fun

This week was the annual west side Fall Festival. We live 3 blocks away so we took advantage of it. It was so smotheringly hot!! We went down Monday evening for haystacks and a couple of rides for the girls. We went Friday evening with just me, Jamie and Hope (Faith had a birthday party). We ate dinner and let Hope ride a few rides and a game. We went back this morning for the pet parade and got the girls armbands so they could ride all day. We did rides until 12 but it was so hot you could hardly stand it. We came home and napped and then went back this evening for more rides, dinner and the big parade, which Jamie was in with the Hadi Shriners. We are home and done until next year. My feet hurt!!
