Dad and the boys are remodeling the downstairs bathroom this weekend. The boys have been helping Dad drill, puty, and paint.

While the boys have been working on the bathroom, the girls made granola and tortillas.

01.13.08 | Fun
We have been playing a game that has been such fun this weekend! The person that is "it" is blindfolded and has to find the others that are hiding. It can get pretty funny! Some of our hiding places...
 
Under the couch coushions... in the clothes pile...
...or right under their nose! Samuel crawled over Jonathan and did not know he was there!
 
... under the piano bench...or behind the vacuum (which "it" never found!)...

01.11.08 | House News
Yesterday we went to look at a house that is being build by a class of high school students. When it is completed, it will be sold to benefit the school. They are doing great work on it, but it is too small for our family. We will still explore other options for building a house on our new property.
This is the front of the house.

Our friend, Mr. Crisp, from Americus KS, is attending a Growers Conference this weekend and stopped by for his annual dinner and visit. We always enjoy lively conversation topics ranging from the Holy Scriptures, survival strategies, CSA's to vegetable growing. He is a wealth of information and has been a huge blessing to our family regarding our family business.

The December ice storm left us with more than self-reliant memories. There were numerous branches on the ground from the weight of the ice on the trees. The clean up has been slow because of the continuous snow and ice on the branches and ground. The boys are finally able to move the branches to the burn pile. Now we can walk out our back door and park our vehicles in the usual places. Thank you, boys!

01.08.08 | Recital
The conservatory's annual Christmas recital has been indefinitely postponed because of winter storms. Although we are sorely disappointed to not be able to participate, especially since the children have worked hard on their musical pieces, we are thankful it has been called off a few days before it occurred. The roads at the Conservatory can be difficult during bad weather.

01.04.08 | Stuck......
Joshua is a special friend of our family. He is a Godly example of manhood for our boys. He diligently works on projects at our place. Our boys love his tales of adventure and mishaps. Samuel is Joshua's special buddy. Samuel has a Lego truck that he builds and rebuilds that he makes to look like Joshua's big red truck. When Joshua added tool chests to his truck, Samuel added tool chests to his lego truck. Joshua got big new tires, and a sign to advertise his business, and Samuel promptly added them to his own. But, Samuel has made improvements that Joshua has yet to make; Samuel did have a wench on his lego truck when Joshua was stuck in the pasture. Maybe Joshua should have taken Samuel's expert advice. It sounded like a grand idea later today....

There is never a dull moment when Joshua is around. Today while at our neighbors doing some work, he was in her back field with his truck and because of a snow drift, he did not see the gully. He could not get out of it and became really stuck. While trying to back out, it only continued to sink into the mud, and the gully became muddier and deeper. He did not have a wench, our tractor could not pull him out, he could not dig out (he tried for three hours!), and the first two tow truck that arrived could not get him out. Over seven hours later, the third tow truck was able to tow him out. What an adventure for us all!
Mom trying to pull Joshua's truck out with our tractor, which didn't budge it...by now it was growing dark and colder outside, so we decided to come inside to warm up and eat dinner!

01.03.08 | Winter 2008 issue of KBR!
Today the Winter 2008 issue of The King's Blooming Rose Magazine was printed. We are entering our fourth year of publishing, and a record number of KBR issues are being sent out this time. It is more work, though! Mom, Jonathan, and Samuel helped me a lot tonight, by placing the survey in each issue while I hand signed the issues (the job I can't give anyone else...no one else can sign quite as "messy" as me--according to Samuel!). I am so thankful for my family's help with this big, sometimes overwhelming, "job." The Lord has greatly blessed this ministry, though, and I am very grateful!
  
...Quite a process! My family helped me so much...Thank you, everyone! Even my cat Sneaker thought she could help below...

01.01.08 | The New Year
The new year is ahead of us! Each year, I write a list of things that I want to change in my life or things I want to do in the new year. I'm not sure if it does any good, but it is neat to go back over the list I wrote the year before and see if things have changed.
God has been good to do much for us this past year. He has done so many things for us, I can hardly begin to name them all. One of my new goals this year is to thank God more often for the things He does and is doing for us, personally or as a family. Sometimes when we pray, we only go to God to ask things of Him... "God, please make the power come on!" "God, please change this person's life..." Instead, I can look at what God HAS done, and thank Him.
