31

Well, I'm 31 today and trying to figure out when that happened. I don't think we're doing much. We are getting ready to go camping this weekend at Howard Prairie. The weather isn't expected to be great, but I say that camping in the rain creates memories...wet and muddy ones. Looking forward to it!!

A few of hundreds...

It's so hard to just pick a few pictures to post. I could look through these photos for hours and keep finding favorites. So I just started uploading and apparantly I could only post 5. What's up with that?? I guess I should look at that limitation as just plain helpful :)

Back to Reality

Well, we are home and I am happy to report that we had a WONDERFUL time. Did I mention it was wonderful???? Our whole trip was so blessed. The 17 hour car ride there and back was even wonderful. The kids got along so good and Sarah didn't even seem to mind being stuck in a car seat for that long. God certainly had His hand on this vacation. We got to visit with my family that I lived with for 7 years before I moved to Crescent City. The girls had fun with grandma making aprons and all the kids (except for Sarah) got to learn how to make candlesticks with Papa.

As soon as I can narrow my favorite pictures down to just a few (yeah right) I will post some. I recently got a new camera (one that I've wanted for quite some time now) and the pictures are fantastic.

First Barrett family vacation...

Things have been very hectic around our household. Originally we had a vacation planned for July but we moved it up to TOMORROW. We are leaving tomorrow after Daryl gets off work for Southern California. My wonderful grandma Packer lives in Vista which is right outside of San Diego. We get to stay for 7 days. This is the first Barrett family vacation. I'm so excited for more of my family to meet Daryl, Sarah and Spencer. I will be sure to post some pics and write about our time together when we get back.

Pray for a safe drive and good times.....

Baby Powder

Last night Sarah found a bottle of baby powder I didn't know I had. She thought it was great and even though there was a big mess, I thought it was pretty funny. At first I was unsure of what had happened because she was nowhere to be found. Then I found her footprint in the powder.

Craziness

Wow! I can't believe how long it's been since I posted on here. I gotta dash out the door to take Spencer to school so I only have time for a quick update.

The weather has been Fabulous the last few days. I hope it's here for a little while at least. We have planning a trip to Disneyland in July but we're trying to see if maybe we can go in May instead. We are so impatient. I can't seem to find my camera anywhere so there's been a shortage of pictures lately :( I did however order a new camera and it should be here this week. I'm so excited. I've wanted a camera like this one for quite a while now. We bought a dishwasher 2 weeks ago and that was such a blessing. No more standing at the sink for hours everyday. I've been making soap like crazy and trying to sell Advocare again. Daryl's got a few projects going right now. The kids are all doing good. Have to go for now.

Another rainy Thursday

Well I don't want to turn this blog into "All about Lindsey's soaps" but it's so hard to not talk about it all the time. I'm a little obsessed right now. I'm trying really hard to get my inventory up for farmers market. I think what I most enjoy about it is that I made it and people really love it. I've never been super crafty but always wished I was.
Daryl and I have been going through all of our stored belongings and trying to "clean up." Our church is having a garage sale and so we're trying to get stuff together for that. It's not been an easy task...
The kids are anxiously awaiting spring break. We don't have any plans to go anywhere but I sure hope it doesn't rain. 4 kids couped up in a small house for a week = one crazy mama!!
