It's Time To Get Back To Bloggin!

Well it's been far to long since my last post!! I have recently been encouraged to go back to bloggin after a bit of a break and I'm excited to start back up. Having a 2 year old has really changed my daily routine and I'm still working at figuring out how to fit it all in! My crafting has slowed down to a very slow crawl as of late, but I plan to work it in a little more starting now:) I would also like to start posting about a new book study I have started. The book is called "Sweet Journey" and it is written by Teri Maxwell. You can see the book and the Maxwell family web sight HERE.

I am VERY excited about this study because it will be hitting the three basics of having a closer relationship with Christ, namely: Reading your Bible, Praying and Memorizing Scripture:) Three things that ALL of us have had our struggles with! Our group had our first meeting this Wednesday and I was SO happy with how everything went. I really believe God has great things for us with the book and this group. I encourage you all to check this book out:).

More on the study to come... (when it's not 1 am in the morning and my eyes can't hardly stay open:)

Blessings to you all!

Sheep Shearing Sisters!

Our family was BLESSED to be invited to help shear some SERIOUSLY IN NEED sheep at our friend Margo's house. This was SO MUCH FUN yet so stinky and challenging!

First, a quick cute picture of my sweetie pie!! He had fun!

These are there two sheep. Lizzy and Wooly I think??? The bigger one is actually the female. They didn't know it, but they were fixen to feel ALOT better in all this Kansas heat!

A few quick pics of some cute kids with kitties and Goaties!

This is the first sheap. He is just about finished here. We sure did a chop job on them, but atleast they have some relief from all that wool!! Sheep produce Lanolin out of there skin. This is the stuff used for breast feeding mothers sore....well , ya know!! SO, they were very oily, and Wynter thought she might have alittle spa treatment on her footsies....

So Kate thought this was a GREAT idea and went for it too!!!

Time for some more shearing.... We were using every sharp thing we could find! These are a pair of sharp teeth scissors, we also had a pair of Goat shearer's, Poultry scissors, regular scissors and even a tiny pocket knife!
