Here's a 17 week picture of baby November.  We will find out in less than 2 weeks if 
we're having a boy or a girl :)


3 batches of strawberry freezer jam with the help of Jon and Allysha


Lyshie made my favorite homemade ranch dressing today.

Here Lyshie made some banana bread.  She's on a roll today in the kitchen! 



So what's been happening?  Well, we went on a mini family vacation to Frankenmuth last week which was wonderful!  We celebrated my daughter's 13th birthday last weekend which was a blast!  She had a party with her friends and then that merged into a party with family members.  Everyone had a great time as did my baby.  We're so thankful!  I hope to get a blog post up on that soon.

Baby November has been moving around so much it's crazy!  So glad to have the reassurance of the movement.  

Jon not only hardended off all my plants, but planted most of them as well.  He's turning into quite the farmer.  

Joshua is still his cute little self.  He sure knows how to make mommy smile.

I'd talk about my hubby but he isn't one for having people talk about him online.  So, without saying too much, I sure love that guy!

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery.  So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy.  I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out.  I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing.  Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful.  I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips.  At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery.  I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible.  So my food options may seem different than ma...

Recommended Netflix Movies

I often see facebook posts of people looking for good, wholesome movies to watch with their spouse or their family.  Because of that,  I thought I'd make a list of netflix movies that our family has enjoyed, found educational, etc...  If you have some you think I should add to this list, leave me a comment.  I'll be updating periodically. Here goes!! Family Movies: The Hiding Place *The Last Sin Eater The Ultimate Gift *The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry Flywheel *Saving Sarah Cain Letters to God - this is a tear gripper! Faith Like Potatoes - caution here is the language used by an unsaved man in the beginning.

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids.  If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would.  For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher.  I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags.  If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea.  I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days.  Below are some benefits of each of these teas.  Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant.  Spearmint is generally a better option. Red Raspberry Leaf Pepper...
