Emma ate dirt, yuk!

What a gorgeous day today was! I love spring. Today Emma, Tom & I worked outside all day. I got on the tractor and filled the bucket up so many times with wet leaves, sticks and acorns I think that my arms might fall off! Well, after dinner Emma was still wanting to be outside so out we go. She falls several times and is so filthy. Well I am moving the big rocks in front of the carport and I look over at her and she has this horrible yucky face. I see dirt start coming out of her mouth! She ate dirt and did not like it! It was so funny. Maybe next time she won't do that!

Winton Green Acres

Winton Green Acres

Well. Like I said, I start with the best intentions and then fizzle out! It is now April 25th and I am finally getting back on here and blogging again! Could it get any colder outside? Today it is 58 degrees outside. Emma and I tried to outside and play for a while but after about 15 minutes it was too windy and cool. We have new baby kittens that are about 5 weeks old. They are so cute! So, I am sitting with them in my lap and Emma smiling walks over and hits them (she is thinking that she is petting, I think) and their little ears go out and they look at her in terror. I do feel sorry for any little animal with a child around!
I painted my entry way. After many months pouring over what color to paint I had a vision why not the color of a pomegrante? I love a bright vibrant color, why not? So, I go to Sherwin Williams and pick up a paper sample called Bouginvalle. (I think that is how it is spelt.) Low and behold I jump out on a limb and just do it. I love it but Thomas walks in and asks, Why would you paint the entry way hot pink? Well, heck! You would look at it and think it is hot pink! No, I correct him, it is Bouginvellia. Well, looks hot pink to me. O.k. the paint has dried and it is bright and it has a major pinky coral color to it. Yeah, I must admit it looks hot pink! DARN! Oh well. I still love it for now, and considering I hate to paint this was a monumental thing for me so it will be hot pink for a long time! hahaha!

Here is a picture of Emma at Grammy's house. She thought she was so big pulling her backpack along!

Let's see how long until I fizzle out!

I have the tendency to start out with the best intentions and all of a sudden, it is out the window. I am really going to try and keep this updated, atleast weekly, so that I can feel like I am a part of the world. Currently, I am not a social person! Between, real estate, Emma, Thomas and this house I am pulled so many different ways. I am hoping that this will keep me in touch with all of you!

Well, as many of you know I am now a stay-at-home mom/Realtor/Wife etc... You know how that goes. But, I am loving the stay at home mom job. I can not believe how fast time goes by and how quickly children grow. Emma turned 1 on the March 2nd. It does not seem like it has been a year ago that we had her! She is walking extremely well and trying to run. She knows body parts, mama, dada, can identify the deer, bobcat and pig and many more wonderful things. She has hazel eyes and light brown hair and 4 little teeth.

Thomas is doing well. He is going to start Lake patrol part time this Spring and is looking forward to getting started. He will still be patrolling on the road but is really excited to get this new job started. He is sad b/c there is not as much time to hunt & fish like he likes to do, but over all he is doing great.

That is my life's update for time. I am so tired so I will go to bed and write again soon with more delicious information!
Love to you all!
