Our Family

We finally got a family picture all together! =)

Travis' 40th Birthday ☺

His birthday was a couple of months ago, but I L♥VE this picture!!!

My Kids! =)

again...

So now Bethany is sick.
She started running a fever yesterday...
Very bad cough, using an inhaler, and I'm cleaning/bleaching the humidifier so she can use it tonight.
Good news, sorta... the piano teacher called and canceled piano tomorrow.  She rarely does that, so this is good.  No one will have to go out, although I'm not sure we would have.  But at least I don't have to call and cancel again.  We've already missed 2 weeks in a row, and now this will be 3. 
Rebekah is nearly well, just a little cough.  JohnDavid is still coughing.  I gave him cough meds before he left w/ Travis to go to the Hunter's Safety Course class.
This is, I think, the 6th time they've been sick since school started.  I told them maybe they would graduate by the time they're 25!  lol.
Looking forward to spring!  =)

I have a facebook Fan Page!

I don't know why I never thought of it before,
but I created a fan page for Easy Access Recipes.
See it on facebook!  =)

Going out with Travis♥/Bacon & Egg Cups

Travis told me last night he was taking me out tonight and leaving the kids home!  It's nice that they're old enough for that now.  =)
So I didn't think I'd be cooking anything today that I'd be taking pics of and posting on my recipe blog, but then I decided to make Bacon & Egg Cups this morning.  Yum!
Hee hee, move the mouse back and forth over the bacon 'n eggs to "salt" them!
(I'm crazy)
ETA: The 'glitter' feature has been removed.  I'm still crazy.  =D

Falling Mouse-Glitter!

Here's how to get the mouse pointer glitter effect: (which is not on my blog anymore)
Copy the code from here.
Go to your blog and click on Design.
Click on Edit HTML.
Checkmark Expand Widget Templates.
Use the Ctrl and F (find) buttons to search for the < head > tag (with no spaces) or just look near the top of your HTML code.  It's just a few lines from the top.
Position your cursor after the tag, and hit Enter.
Paste the code.  Click Preview to see how it looks on your blog before you Save Template.
Easy Peasy!
Remember:  If you think you messed up your HTML code, just click View Blog and do not save anything. ETA: for some reason, this works better in Firefox than in IE.  In IE, the glitter is an inch or two behind the pointer.
???

Sweet!

Awww, Bethany just brought me fresh-squeezed orange juice!  Mmmmm, so much better than bought OJ, and it has pulp in it.  Yum!
My sweet Bethany.  =)

Sick =(

Well, the kids are sick again.  Rebekah started running a fever Monday, and at one point it was 104º but it's down a little finally.  Still some fever, but down.
JohnDavid started the coughing, nasal congestion Tues pm, and now has a fever.  102.4º.
What is it this year!?!  This is the 5th or 6th time they've been sick since school started.  I mean really sick.
Poor kids!  If they went to reg. school, they'd have failed by now.  =\

Wrong Slice

Yesterday I sliced my thumb good while making these:

Homeschoolers - how we do it =)

Birthday Soup!

Rebekah and I have had a joke going for several months. She'd brought a can of Great Value chicken noodle soup and a can of cream of chicken soup to me at the computer and we were laughing at the fake-looking noodles, etc. on the labels. She then left the cans sitting at the computer. So later, I took them to her room and sat them on HER computer desk. She put them back on mine. I hid a chicken noodle one in her pocketbook. She hid it under my pillow. CLUNK. (ow, my head!) And on it went. We hid that soup a LOT!
So last month I decided she needed it for her birthday! =D

In the pics, the gift bag says "This gift is not a lemon."
We used this bag once before and gave it to Grandma Shelby (my mother-in-law) and put an ORANGE in it. Well, it was not a lemon! =)


Well, last night, I went to my room to get ready for bed, and THIS is what I saw on the headboard above my bed!!!

So Rebekah got me back!  hahaha!!!  (Didn't know I had this many!) 
Now I've got to come up with something v e r y creative...
6/21/10 Got her back!  =)
