A review of Seaside Letters

2009-10-01T14:38:00.000-05:00

Seaside Letters A Nantucket Love Story by Denise Hunter. This is the story of Sabrina Kincaid and Tucker McCabe. Sabrina is a waitress who has fallen in love with someone she writes to online, that person comes to the diner everyday for coffee, and doesn’t know that the one he talks to online is Sabrina, or does he? Tucker has fallen is love with the woman he knows as Sweet pea online, he wants to date her in person, but she won’t agree to meet him. The story is a twist of online dating and the fact that Sabrina doesn’t want Tucker to meet her in person, because of something she has done in her past, so she goes about a cat and mouse game trying to avoid him finding out that she is the person he talks to online. Except he already know who she is and instead of just asking her out, hires her, Sabrina to find the mysterious online sweet pea. Honestly the whole story line was pretty immature, the online dating, the not wanting him to know who you are, even though he already knows. I would not have thought this was really a Christian book as there is not a lot of Christ like things in the book, actually the opposite, from drinking to an affair with a married man. I didn’t really get a good physical description of the characters, couldn’t really picture them in my mind. In the back of the book was an excerpt from Sweetwater Gap, another of Denise Hunters books that sounded good and I would like to read it and see if it was better than Seaside Letters.

Glasses?

2009-09-15T09:32:00.001-05:00

Morgan loves the Mr. Potato Head glasses, and gets them out every day. She has a bit of a temper and when they won't stay on she throws herself to the ground and cries.

Green or Black?

Love of purses

2009-09-08T12:03:00.002-05:00

I am pretty sure that girls are just born with a love of purses. Morgan found this purse in the dress up box and she immediately put in on her arm and carried everywhere! She is a true girl~

See you can cook and read while carrying a purse!

we won!

2009-09-08T11:53:00.002-05:00

I am always on other blogs signing up for the giveaways and recently have won 3 different prizes. I won a hairband for Morgan and the other day won 2 different books for Micah. The one book is a personalized book and the character is made to look like your son or daughter. The other books are about the baseball world series and it came with a cute T-shirt that says "My daddy reads to me"

Lonestar Secrets - book review

2009-09-08T10:24:00.000-05:00

Lonestar Secrets written by Colleen Coble. Five years after Shannon Astor left her home town she finds herself back in town this time as a single mother and full of distrust for the people she grew up with. Shannon has put herself through school all while raising her little girl, Kylie. Shannon’s life is filled with many secrets, can Jack MacGowan the man who is raising his own little girl, Faith break through Shannon’s heart and find love? This story has many twists and turns, from lies and deception, to truth and love. It all goes to show you the truth is better told upfront, and it never pays to lie, no matter how much you think you are helping someone. The story takes place in West Texas and has many different characters. There is Mary Jane- the roommate of Shannon who is in big trouble. The mystery man who is after Shannon and has Mary Jane captive. Jack MacGowan, the man who once humiliated Shannon and now has a daughter who is identical to Shannon own little girl. And then there is Shannon, a woman of distrust who has made it through life on her own, can she put the past behind her and let Jack into her heart? The book has many twists and turns has a great story, and has a surprise ending. I would love to have read her first book, and can’t wait to read more of her books.

Morgans play time

2009-09-02T12:36:00.002-05:00

Morgan doesn't sit still for very long and bounces from activity to activity, this particular day she read a book, played with brother's train, and found a noise maker to play with.

Book Review- A Man of His Word

2009-08-21T08:49:00.002-05:00

I have recently signed up with Thomas Nelson publishers to do book reviews. They will send you a book of your choice for free and all you have to do is post a review about it. The following is for the book A Man of His Word by Kathleen Fuller.

A Man of His Word, written by Kathleen Fuller. This is the love story of Moriah Byler and Levi Miller. The book begins with Moriah preparing for the best day of her life, her wedding. She is in love with her childhood friend, Levi, while Levi’s twin brother Gabriel is in love with Moriah. The story quickly unfolds with a tale of lies and deception by Levi. Throughout the book there is yet a second story going on. The love story of another Amish couple, Tobias and Rachel. The book has it’s strong points, and it’s weak points. I liked how the author told about the community and made you really feel like you were in Middlefield, Ohio. The author used a lot of Amish words throughout the book, which I didn’t really care for, it broke the flow of reading as I had to look back and see what the words meant. The story itself was pretty predictable. Woman loves man, another man loves her, and there was lots of drama, with death and a birth. I would have liked there to be a book about Tobias and Rachel on their own, as there story line was pretty good. Overall I would recommend the book, and can’t wait to read another book by Kathleen Fuller.

I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData (youdata.com). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid for giving them my attention. I can use the funds to buy music and video online, donate to charities, give to my favorite blogs and websites, or keep the change myself and do whatever I want with it.
It's real. They pay. You should check it out.

4th of July

2009-07-07T13:19:00.004-05:00

We went to Austin for the 4th of July this year. Who knew it would be the hottest 4th of July on record there! It was 104* with an even higher heat index. We went to Ikea, ate at some favorite restaurants that we haven't had in a long time. Chipotle, Five Guys, and the Saltlick. We always stay at the Embassy Suites, and this one had 2 swans in the center as well as giant goldfish. We told Micah he was not allowed to feed them or throw anything at them. As soon as this picture was taken he picked up a rock and threw it in anyway. Needless to say he got in a lot of trouble. For the Fireworks we went to Lady Bird Park and listened to the Austin Symphony Orchestra and watched some very pretty fireworks. I forgot my camera so no pictures! Micah didn't like the fireworks and hid behind his hands the entire time, Morgan was sleeping and would look every once in awhile, but didn't really care.

Kids Pictures

2009-07-07T13:16:00.002-05:00

boo-boo's and M&M's

2009-06-30T14:21:00.002-05:00

Morgan is learning to walk, and is getting around quite well. She fell the other day and hit the coffee table. I put Arnica cream on it, and the bruising went away pretty quickly. The pictures are from when it had just happened, and the other 2 pictures are of her eating the M&M's she discovered left behind by Micah, you can hardly see the bruise.

You can really see the bump in this picture, the next day it was pretty much gone, thanks to the cream!

NEW YORK CITY

2009-06-18T13:18:00.001-05:00

Ronnie and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary with a trip to New York City. We stayed at a great hotel called The Belvedere. We visited the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park, and we went to a Yankees game, saw the Broadway play Wicked, we also got to be in the audience for a taping of David Letterman. We ate lots of great food- Ruth Chris's steakhouse, John's Pizza, Japanese steakhouse, and a really good bagel shop called Sticks ( I hadn't had a real bagel in 4 years!) Did all the things tourists do~ and we had a great time. We weren't allowed to take pictures during Wicked so I waited till the end and snapped a few, as well as David Letterman- no pictures of that either- though we saw Paula Abdul, and Neil Patrick Harris, and some singer, somebody Costello. Can't wait to go back! Next time with the kids so the girls can see a show and the boys can go to a game.

Morgan at the Water Park

2009-05-28T17:02:00.003-05:00

Morgan loved the water-it was her first time at the pool, and she had no fear of the water. She was so tired at the end of it she was asleep before we got out of the parking lot.

After crawling on her knees she decided the bear crawl was best.

She kept going in over her head so we had to stand guard thus I didn't get pictures of the other kids.

BZZ Agent product review

2009-05-20T14:18:00.002-05:00

The newest product that I tried is the Bic Soleil Bella Razor. It is 4 blades with a moisturizing strip. Very cute colors. The razor is thin and easy to handle. Best of all it didn't leave me feeling like I had razor burn like some blades do. The cost is 6$ for 3 blades, so I am not sure I would buy it unless I have a coupon for it.

So I signed up on this site called bzzagent to get free stuff. I get free stuff to try out and then I have to rate it or review it. So here is the first one I have done it is~ John Frieda® Root Awakening™
Awaken 3x healthier hair, starting at the roots.Go to the John Frieda® Root Awakening™ BzzCampaign Homepage
I received shampoo, conditioner and a detangler, plus coupons and smaller sample packets to pass along to friend. The shampoo smells wonderful, it reminds me when I go to the salon and get my hair done for big bucks! I used the detangler on the kids hair and it works great. Though I can't see spending 6.50 on shampoo. I would definitely buy some with my coupon, and definitely recommend this product.

A boring Friday

2009-05-08T17:09:00.004-05:00

So the kids are done with school and it's a million degrees outside and they are bored!!! So I just took pictures of the older ones being bored and Morgan was just too cute not to take a picture of.

Micah will only sit in this spot on the couch, if any one sits in his "seat" he will scream until they move~

Goofy girls it's 100* outside, but inside they think they are cold~

Look who is walking! she just started today using the little walker, won't be long till she's cruising around the house!

Can we keep him?

2009-03-28T15:03:00.002-05:00

The girls went bike riding this morning and this kitty followed them for about 1/2 a mile all the way home. We fed him and the kids really want to keep him, they have named him Tanner, and have played outside all day with him.

Morgan and her ice cream

2009-03-28T15:01:00.003-05:00

and she screamed when we took it away!

Strange little boy

2009-03-12T14:38:00.003-05:00

I went to check on Micah who was supposed to be in bed sleeping and I found him playing instead. When I asked him what he was doing he said, I be very quiet. He had lined up all his books and was putting toys in categories, all the Dino's in one pile, cars in another. He had also found some old tape and packing stickers and had them proudly on his head. I know the OCD comes from me, but the weirdness must come from his father!

Double Trouble

2009-03-12T14:30:00.002-05:00

I was upstairs helping the girls with school when I noticed it was strangely quiet downstairs. I ran downstairs and could hear laughter coming from my room. The little stinkers had locked the door. When I got in I found Micah and Morgan in the bathroom playing. Micah had gotten in our shower and was playing peek-a-boo with Morgan. She was laughing so hard, and trying to figure out why she could see her brother but not touch him. I have a feeling I am going to have to keep a close eye on these two!

Let the fun begin.....

2009-03-02T14:45:00.004-06:00

Morgan decided on Friday that it was no fun just watching the kids play, so she started crawling, and now the fun begins because nothing is safe from her little hands. I thought her big legs would slow her down, but no, she is very fast!

February- random photos

2009-02-28T16:40:00.002-06:00

Morgan fell asleep sitting up after a long day at the museum- they had a children's art and book festival at the museum and the main exhibit was "Grossology" all about how the body functions, the kids really liked going in the "nose" and seeing how the body makes stuff such as burps, gas etc. The kids all got to choose a free book- Micah was able to get a dinosaur book that I have been searching for for along time.

Micah in the slide- I think it was the "lining of the stomach"

Micah taking a nap on the floor- ever since we changed his crib to a bed he hates sleeping in it. Every day it's a different spot on the floor for nap time, and at night he gets up and gets in bed with us!

Morgan 8 months

2009-02-25T15:44:00.006-06:00

Sweet girl- playing with her big sisters toys is so much fun! she is becoming mobile and getting into every one's things. Morgan loves to say the one and only word she can- DADA!

Family night

2009-01-26T10:07:00.002-06:00

Maddy wanted to start having Family night once a week, and this week we got out the puzzle she received for Christmas. The puzzle has 550 small pieces, it's gonna take awhile! Morgan had to sit in the living room and play, which she loves to sit and play by herself.

Micah was not happy, because we weren't letting him help, after standing up on the table and hitting his head on the light, which broke the light bulb, he ended up going to bed, so much for family night!

The start of the puzzle- I will post a picture of the final product- whenever that maybe.

Monkeying around

2009-01-26T09:55:00.004-06:00

We have been going to the park alot lately, the girls have been working on the monkey bars, and after alot of tears ( they are very competitive), and some blisters, they have finally accomplished the bars.

Morgan Faith at 7 months

2009-01-20T14:30:00.003-06:00

Can you believe she is 7 months old~ she loves to sit and play, especially with anyone willing to sit and share with her. Mackenzie always wants in on the picture taking.

If you look real close you can see she is getting 2 bottom teeth!

A very long week

2009-01-10T16:10:00.002-06:00

Micah decided to learn how to jump out of his crib, and so I decided it was time for a real big boy bed. It only took him an hour of getting up and down before he fell asleep on his floor. All the kids have been sick the last week and I have spent more money on medicine than I ever want to spend again.

The princess will stay awake all day and as soon as daddy gets home and holds her she falls fast asleep.

morgan

2008-12-30T22:28:00.002-06:00

At her 6 month check up she weighed 20 .4 pounds and is 27 inches tall. She is in the 95% for her weight and the 90% for her height. She is starting to try to crawl going backward and loves to say Dada- especially at 6 a.m.

2008-12-18T13:51:00.002-06:00

My husband said to me the other night in front of the kids~" Wow, you look hot!" to which Maddy said no she doesn't daddy, and he said yeah your mom's hot! Maddy said no she isn't -she's not sweaty!

Morgan 6 months

2008-12-18T13:35:00.003-06:00

Morgan is already six months old. Time sure has flown. She is a sweet heart, very smiley and laid back. She started saying Dada this week and is rolling around everywhere. She is officially in a big carseat, the infant carrier was starting to buckle under all her weight. She goes Monday to the Dr. so I will post her weight etc, then. I know she tops the charts there. She loves her new high chair, and loves her brother and sisters. I bought her a bumbo chair but she got stuck in it ( she's got some lovely thighs) so to ebay that will go. A great spot to watch Monsters Inc.

Homeschooling 101

2008-09-28T14:55:00.003-05:00

Many people have asked how school was going for us so I thought I would share what our days consist of. We start school at 9:00~ we are using Abeka DVD's and each of the girls has a desk and DVD player in their rooms. Morgan hangs out in her bouncy seat until we get things going, I pretty much bring her room to room with me ( I don't know what we will do when she gets mobile.) Micah loves Peter pan so he will sit and watch it until Mackenzie is through with school. Mackenzie is usually done in 2 hours so then the two of them go play together, and yes he watches Peter Pan everyday~ he loves it that much! Maddy takes a lot longer to do school, so we usually have lunch at noon and then she gets to play until Micah goes down for his nap at 1:30 and then she finishes school. Nap time is my favorite time of day, because sadly this is when I get my shower. The girls pretty much want me watching there every move so school is my life until the afternoon. I took a few pictures of the kids during a normal school day and you will be able to see why I have to be right there with them, one kid just can't be still. I love Peter Pan!
This is how I found Mackenzie doing school~ she is a clown and can't sit still!
How she is supposed to be sitting
Maddy trying so hard to do well in penmenship, this is the only area she struggles in other than that she gets A's.

Thanks Miss Heather.....

She was supposed to be cleaning her room, when I didn't hear anything for awhile I went to check on her and she was sound asleep. Notice the jammies are on under her dress. She eventually woke up and it took a long time to clean the mess.

FROGS

2008-09-25T12:56:00.003-05:00

Micah loves to go outside and catch the frogs that we seem to have in abundance. He had a really big one but it got away before I could get a picture. Where did he go?
There he goes..... needless to say this frog did not survive the many drops and was dead the next morning.

Thumb Sucker

2008-09-11T21:34:00.003-05:00

It's been hard to blog lately with homeschooling and just having all the kids underfoot, but I thought I would show how big Morgan has gotten. She has tons of rolls, but she is a cutie~ she is starting to "talk" to us and loves to smile. She also has a new trick ~ Sucking her thumb! She was so tired, but worked very hard to get her thumb.
A little closer.....
Wait I think I've got it......
Yep, I have my thumb and can hold on to my hair too!

Dr. Visits

2008-08-25T18:11:00.003-05:00

I took all the kids to the Dr. today for their well-baby/child visits. We also started homeschooling today. School went well~ Mackenzie was a little bored, as she said, "I all ready know all this stuff." Hopefully it will get a little harder for her so she stays interested. Here are pictures of the kids and there statistics. (For Nana's benefit)

Madeline age 7 is 51 in. tall and weighs 56 pounds
Mackenzie is 5 years old and is 44 in. tall and weighs 44 pounds. Micah is age 2~36 inches tall and weighs 30 pounds.
Morgan is 9 weeks old as is a PIG!!! She weighs 13.9 pounds and is only 22 inches!

Something to play with!

We are happy to announce....................

Swinging High

2008-08-16T14:54:00.002-05:00

Micah loved the tire swing, I didn't get a picture of the girls, but there Goppy would swing them so high I couldn't watch~ I was certain someone was going to get hurt. Whee~ higher Daddy

Happy Birthday

2008-08-11T09:41:00.001-05:00

Happy 2nd Birthday to Micah~ we love you buddy!
And a Happy belated post to Maddy who was 7 on Friday!

We are still on vacation.....

2008-08-11T09:28:00.002-05:00

but I thought I would share a few things. First Micah decided to give up his paci on all his own! It made me very sad, even though I knew it was time. But after I had bought him a new one he took one look at it and said no Mom, and he hasn't had it since, it's been about 2 weeks now. Then while we were at my mom's I decided we should get a family picture since the last family picture we only had 2 kids. Do you know how hard it is trying to coordinate six people! We decided to go with brown and pink for the colors, well I couldn't find the girls shirts in pink so we ended up with a teal blue and brown. The day of the picture I realized that my shirt had a hole in it where they put the tag so I had to return it and get a new one. Five minutes before we were to leave Morgan threw up on her shirt~ we did a quick wash and had it air dry all the way to the photo studio. We arrived early at the photo studio and just as the lady got ready to call us, Ronnie looked down and Micah had peed threw his shorts! My mom was able to find him another pair ( we were in Kmart at Olan mills). We then sat down for one shot of all of us together before the baby needed to eat. So while I fed here we got pictures of all the kids. As we got ready to take another family shot Morgan threw up and the picture lady caught it! It was definitely an experience! We ended up with some really nice photos which I will post when they get here. We will be gone another week and then I will post pictures of our vacation!

One Month Old

2008-07-22T12:46:00.002-05:00

Saturday Morgan was one month old. She went to the Dr. for her check-up today ( that's why she is grumpy). She is a healthy 9 pounds 15 oz. and is 21 inches long. She definitely likes to eat!

Early birthday present

2008-07-14T14:29:00.002-05:00

Micah loves trains, and since his 2nd birthday is coming up we decided to get it a little early. I will say the table was easier to put together than the train track was! Choo-Choo- the main engine is battery operated which makes him a little mad, but he loves it.

My little Man

2008-07-10T13:43:00.003-05:00

Since Madeline and Mackenzie are in Pennsylvania for the summer Micah is getting very spoiled. He decided to have his breakfast in front of the T.V. Mr. Cool~ Daddy put gel in his hair and he thought it was so neat. Just call him mini Ronnie!

So handsome~ he threw a fit that I made him wear pants, he is so used to shorts he won't wear anything else.

He does love his sister! Micah was trying to be helpful and hold Morgan, he got bored with her after a minute and was trying to get away from her. Nana and Goppy with all the Spivey kids- notice Micah~ he has a scowl in most pictures that involve Morgan.
Reading with our Goppy
My first bath- yes my mom put me in a blue towel, I guess that's what happens when you are the last child!
Daddy~ my hero!

Singing at Church

2008-07-03T13:14:00.003-05:00

Sunday was the closing program for Vacation Bible School. Madeline and Mackenize and there friends sang "He's still working on me". Madeline came in first place out of 180 kids 1st through 8th grade. She had 245 points- she worked very hard saying memory verses and bringing friends. Good Job Maddy!

Redneck swimming

2008-07-03T13:05:00.003-05:00

This is what happens when Daddy is in charge~ the kids got out the sprinkler and Mackenzie decided an old sled would make a great pool. Micah started out fully clothed, but ended up "swimming" in the buff~ Come on in the waters great!
Will we all fit in the "pool"?

The girls

Sweet sleep! wide awake

We love our new sister!
As you can see there is no picture of big brother Micah, he is having some anger issues with the new baby, he actually breaks out in hives when he sees her. He does call her More though which is a good start!
