Hooked On Twilight Series

The second book of the series {reading now}
The third book of the series
The Fourth book of series

The First Book...TWILIGHT



If many of you know...I am not one that likes to read much, it really has to be something that catches my interest. Well when I saw the previews for Twilight, I thought that is a movie that I could get into. Well, I saw the movie, then my neighbor told me I needed to read the book since there was so much more in the book that was left out of the movie. So I was like, wow, I have so much reading now with school, I will wait til summer break to begin reading the book. Well we went camping Memorial day weekend, and I began reading, I found myself not able to put the book down...I found many times I would make up excuses so I could go into the tent and just read. Well, I finished the book, and now 8 chapters into the second book called "New Moon." WOW...looks like I am so hooked on Twilight!

The other cats are either too hard to find, or just don't want to be photographed!

The Garden

The Green beans...yummy can't wait til they are ready for some picking!
The Corn....mmmmmmmmmmm....yummy!
Before while the seeds were still growing


Ok...well the garden is going like gangbusters! You would not believe that we were able to have a great garden as it is turned out! The corn is almost taller than me, well that isn't saying much...hehe, the green beans look yummy, tomato plants wow, are getting huge, and so is the zucchini and yellow squash, and the sweet onions and green onions! Our spring mix got a little too out of control, so we use it for wilted lettuce, or to feed our neighbors guinea pig. Anyways, here are some pics in stages, and I hope you can see how proud we are!!

We have 14 cats!!

Ok...everyone you know that living on a farm you need to have cats to help keep the mice away...well, I went early this year and got 2 almost adult cats from the pound, and then Eric a few-several months later said that his friend at work has 2 kittens that are weened and ready to go, so he brought them home. Well, then our older cats were pregnant, one had 3 and the other had 7. OH YEAH...we got the kitties now! Anyways, then my cousin Tricia told me that her sister had 3 kittens and so I told her that we would take them, well I believe they were not weened from the mom and that they were younger than what was told. Two of them died and the other got sick and I believed passed on too. But now we have 14...they are a hoot to watch. A lot better than dogs!! Will put pics up as soon as I can load them up! Sorry!

Apologies!

Sorry everyone...been quite busy since last post! I took on four classes for the spring quarter, and wow, was it amazing that I did as well as I did. I took Micro/Macro Economics, business law, and principles of management. Well, I ended up with 2-A's, 1-B, and 1-C...for a G.P.A. of 3.2 and overall G.P.A. of 2.914...not bad for being a full time mom, full time wife, and student? Well, got some updating to do, so hope you all enjoy!

I PASSED STATISTICS

Anyone who knows me, math is not my favorite subject at all! Well this past quarter the only class I could afford to take was statistics...I have been in math classes since Sept. 2006 with only taking one quarter off and repeating one math class twice...so knowing that statistics was my last and final math class....I was never so glad to take it and get done with math. Well, upon entering the class, there were only 6 people in my class, and I thought wow, I will be able to learn without many interruptions as last math class. The teacher was horrible...he had no teaching skills, he knew math, but his teaching skills were horrible! He had to curve all the tests but one...but I did my best and passed with a "C" which is good enough for me!!

Our Garden (soon to be)




Hello, we are preparing our garden for upcoming planting...well Eric decided that we needed to buy a tiller, which I am glad he did, because with the size of our garden, we most definitely couldn't have rented one and got it done in a day/weekend! It will be a size of 40' x 50'...uhm...yeah, so this coming fall, guess what I will be doing.....CANNING, CANNING...and more Canning...but we agree, that we grew it, we know what is in it, and if we can live off of it for a year or close to it...imagine the money we can save.....so...it will be worth it! Ok...well, I will update you all when it comes planting, reaping, and harvesting, and canning, oh can't forget the canning part!!
