Luke, Heath and myself and LillyAnne got ready and Levi and Londyn were still out playing. He asked, "Where are Levi and Londyn?" I said, "I don't know. The bunnies escaped and they asked if they could go around the neighborhood and look for them and I said yes." Heath got in the car to go get them. He told me that when he found them they had found 2 of the rabbits and were pushing them down the road in LillyAnne's pink stroller and going door to door RINGING PEOPLE'S DOORBELLS and asking if they had seen a rabbit! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">The other day I let them ride their bikes to the swamp and apparently Londyn fell off her bike and they rang someone's doorbell and asked the person for a band aid. We have had to have a little talk about ringing people's doorbells. Aren't these people lucky to have us in their neighborhood?</span><br />

Not so here in Milton! It has rained almost every day since before the fourth of July! This is the wettest summer I have ever seen, also the mildest. Last night when I was on my way home from the store (at 11:45pm) I felt a promise of fall. It was 72 degrees! In the middle of August! Who has even heard of such things in Florida?<br />
<br />
The three oldest children have been going to vacation Bible school for the past two weeks. The loved it. They went to two different churches. The children are quite disappointed that it's all. I'm a tad relieved. It's more than I am used to to get the children clean, in presentable clothes and on time to a place every day for two weeks! (Sad but true.) Then today we could have stayed home all day, but I got them dressed and we went to the library. Luke loves the library. He loves books. Levi and Londyn love the library too. They love to pile up the bean bags and reading cushion things and run and leap on them. :/ LillyAnne loves to race up and down all the book isles and giggle. That is fine with me though because her racing is only as fast as me walking. Such tiny sweet legs. I just keep waiting to get the stink-eye from the librarian. And oh I get it at the Milton library, those ladies think we are the devil. However, at the Pace library I have yet to ever "get in trouble". They just act like my children are sweet. I prefer the Pace library.<br />
<br />
I'm super excited that it's Friday. Heath will be leaving work in about 30 minutes and we have big plans for the weekend....date night, yard work and a beach trip. Life is good and I am so very thankful. <br />
<br />
P.S. If you want an AMAZING snack just mix equal parts (I just eyeball it and guess.) of cream cheese and marshmallow fluff and dip it with strawberries or pineapple. It's delicious and we have been eating it every day for a while. Try it....it's as close as perfect as you can get this side of Heaven.......okay, that is totally not true....BUT it's really yummy.<br />

I turned 33 and we went to Chuck E. Cheese...because you know I just LOVE Chuck E. Cheese. <br />
<br />
And I bought a slip and slide for my birthday...because you know I just LOVE slip and slides.<br />
<br />
But you won't see any pics of me on it, becuse I didn't get on it, because I turned 33 remember? And even if I did get on it you still wouldn't see any pics of me, for reasons that will remain unsaid.<br />
<br />
And the picture of the 5 people on top is just there because they are my favorite 5 people in the world, and this is my blog, so they just pop up a lot, because I'm the one who makes this blog.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427578502706339862noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125600620637070908.post-27740647315083375102012-07-29T22:40:00.003-07:002012-07-29T22:52:37.133-07:00Miss.

This one is the last picture we ever got of her with all her baby teeth.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427578502706339862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125600620637070908.post-33069600422935460752012-07-29T22:37:00.003-07:002012-07-29T22:37:48.738-07:00Newcomb UpdateWe have had a great weekend. Heath has started taking off every Saturday and Sunday and I love it. It is so great to have him home more. <br />
<br />
This weekend I got my hair cut for the first time since before Thanksgiving! Isn't that crazy? The lady cut off a little more than I wanted her too, but she probably needed to since it had been so long. <br />
<br />
I also went to the horse sale. My Daddy bought a buckskin mare that is so wild you can't even touch her. Today he told me that he gave her a bath and started teaching her to lead. He said "she has a head fulla sense" so that's always nice. She is very pretty and has some impressive bloodlines. That's the reason he bought her. <br />
<br />
I hadn't been to a horse sale since we moved back to Milton. I was really excited about going. When I came home from getting my hair cut Heath met me at the door and said, "We have a problem." I said, "What is it?" He said our neighbor came by and invited us to an "Olympics party" at their house that night, and all our children wanted to go. Bummer. I told him I didn't want to go to an "Olympics party". He said he already knew. So instead he would take me to La Hacienda for supper and then I could go to the horse sale with my Daddy and Nema and Aunt Martha and he would take all the children to the "Olympics party". <br />
<br />
DEAL<br />
<br />
So that's what we did. Usually we all go up there together and then all the rest of my family gets tired of it and they wind up leaving me there to hitch a ride home with my Daddy. It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Why do I even like to go?? It is a place where the most redneck people on the planet get together to auction off junk and livestock. <br />
<br />
I. LOVE. IT. <br />
<br />
Well, Daddy did buy me a new lead rope for Star, a new cowboy wall hanging thing for Levi's room and a new rug for my house. What's not to love? And horse sale food is the absolute best. <br />
<br />
Then today we went to the creek. It was nice. We ate fast food on the way to the creek, so you can imagine my dismay when we were getting in the van to leave, and before we could even buckle up they were all talking about how they were STARVING. That happens every single time we go swimming. We came home and ate pancakes and bacon and grapes for supper. <br />
<br />
Aren't you so happy that you have read all the way down to here and I'm letting you know what we had for supper tonight? Lucky you. One of these days I'm going to learn how to be a blogger the likes of which you have never seen before......but until then, just take a look at these adorable pics! <br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i><b><span style="color: black;">Home is the wife and mothers true kingdom. There, first of all places, she must be strong and beautiful. She may touch life outside in many ways, if she can do it without slighting the duties that are hers within her own doors. But if any calls for her service must be declined, they should not be the duties of her home. These are hers, and no other one’s. Very largely does the wife hold in her hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness and the highest good of the hearts that nestle there. The best husband – the truest, the noblest, the gentlest, the richest-hearted – cannot make his home happy if his wife be not, in every reasonable sense, a helpmate to him.</span></b></i></span></div>

There have been dark clouds all morning. It sounds like a rainy day here. The wind is blowing hard, the lightening is flashing, the thunder is rolling. But it's just a sprinkling kind of day. It keeps sprinkling and then stopping. <br />
<br />
We let the rabbits out of their cage because "they only had a few minutes before the bottom drops out". We put them away when the sprinkling started. <br />
<br />
I brought the trash can in.<br />
<br />
I lit a candle because I light candles on rainy days. <br />
<br />
I sent the children outside to jump on the trampoline "while they still can".<br />
<br />
We are cleaning the house because I love a clean house when it's rainy. (Well, technically I'm not cleaning house. I'm writing a blog and have employed my precious children to clean my house for me. heh heh) <br />
<br />
When the bottom finally does "fall out" it is going to be long anticipated and well prepared for because we have been preparing for the rain for about two hours. Now I'm starting to doubt that it will rain at all. Then the jokes on me huh? I was all responsible for NOTHING. <br />
<br />
Hey! Guess what?!? RIGHT NOW it's beginning to rain. I suppose I'm smarter than I was giving myself credit for. <br />
<br />
Now...what to do on a rainy day while we are all trapped in the house with Levi who as of late loves nothing more than whistling.....

LillyAnne kept trying to pick up this watermellon and couldn't. Finally she just sat down and started rolling it with her feet!<br />

We finally came home and made some chocolate chip cookies and watched "A Capitol Fourth" at home. I think I gained 10 lbs. that day. It was worth it. :)Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427578502706339862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125600620637070908.post-74587292530500919392012-06-30T22:08:00.001-07:002012-06-30T22:08:33.381-07:00I sent my children to the chicken sale and they came home with five rabbits.Today Londyn and Levi went with my Daddy to the chicken sale. A friend of my Dad's had given him a rabbit cage and Daddy had asked if the children could have a rabbit. I said yes, because, really, who can say no to a free rabbit and a free cage, right? Turns out Heath could have. And my blog post would have ended there. But I said yes, and here we are. <br />
<br />
Yes, here we are with FIVE rabbits. <br />
<br />
Daddy claimed that you had to buy all five to get one. It WAS at an auction so I suppose maybe they auctioned them off as a group. BUT...I also know my Daddy. And he probably didn't try <strike>very hard</strike> at all to get a single bunny.<br />
<br />
So I get the phone call that they are on their way home with six bunnies. Apparantly my Daddy can't escape with a single bunny or count, because there were only five. <br />
<br />
The children think it's awesome. Because it is. I think they are cute but of course will be a mess and I'm assuming that the five bunny thing is quickly going to turn into a one bunny thing. Heath hasn't said a whole lot so I don't know what he thinks. It doesn't mean he doesn't like the rabbits. It just means he has been working a WHOLE LOT lately and we got a new cell phone and he has people to text. <br />
<br />
Okay okay, I'll stop my yammering and post a pic. Sorry I couldn't figure out how to turn the pic. I had to use our old camera and our new camera turns them automatially when it uploads them. This one does not but I'm pretty sure you can still get the general idea. If not....it's 5 rabbits in a cage.<br />

<br /></div>
Heath took the children camping at Bear Lake last weekend. They had never been camping before except in our backyard. They loved it. It's Tuesday and they are still talking about it nonstop. <br />
<br />
LillyAnne and I went with them for a little while Saturday afternoon. We just just stayed for the swimming and the setting up of camp. She wore herself out in a hurry though and was asleep by the time I got home. <br />
<br />
The rest of my crew cooked out over the fire and made smores and told stories and did all the typical camping stuff. They were getting the pokers that you hold the hotdogs and marshmellows red hot and then Luke decided he didn't want anyone to hurt themselves on it so he threw it behind the tent. Heath walked back there and stepped on them and has two long blisters on the bottoms of his feet. <br />
<br />
The next morning they woke up with the sun and got right to fishing. My children love to fish, but it's definitely not my thing. They fished all morning and didn't catch anything because apparantly the fish were bigger than the lines could hold. They just kept breaking the lines. :( They were fishing with chicken livers (gag) so I'm assuming they were getting catfish. <br />
<br />
Afterward they went hiking. Two deer jumped across the trail so that was pretty exciting for them. Then they came back and packed up and LillyAnne and I picked them up about noon. We headed straight to a cook out at some friends house where they swam for THREE AND A HALF HOURS!!! They were sooooooo tired. Can I just tell you that they were alseep EARLY Sunday night? It was a fabulous weekend. I think camping will definitely become a Newcomb family tradition. <br />

LillyAnne tagged along. It was delicious of course.<br />
<br />
Ever since I started pressure washing I sneeze all day long. I guess the pressure washing has aggravated my allergies. Even when I'm not sneezing I'm feeling the urge to sneeze and my eyes are watering. Well, the whole time I was at La Ha I didn't even THINK about sneezing. <br />
<br />
I think La Ha may very well be magical. Not that I didn't already know that, I'm just offering further proof. So....there ya go.<br />

The waiter saw me taking pictures so he offered to bring out the birthday sombrero even though it wasn't her birthday. I guess he understood that any picture of her is adorable, but her wearing a sombrero...well, that's just taking it to a whole other level.

I had no idea how much I would love pressure washing. <br />
It's WAY fun. <br />
I also had no idea how nasty my house was. <br />
It's WAY nasty.<br />
Not for long though. ;) <br />
<br />
I was putting some house soap in the pressure washer and Luke asked me what it was. I told him soap. He said, "Why are you using soap?" I said, "Ava's Grandma said she uses soap on her house." Luke said, "THEN DON'T USE SOAP!!!" <br />
<br />
He said that because Ava's Grandma is crazy. Really crazy. Like, my children aren't allowed to walk by her house kind of crazy. She's constantly screaming her head off and cursing and telling Ava she hopes a car hits her when Ava is in the street and won't come in when she tells her too. Crazy. <br />
<br />
Luke didn't want to do ANYTHING like Ava's grandma. Who wants to be like the crazy lady?<br />
<br />
I said, "Luke, I won't listen to Ava's grandma about a lot of things, like how to raise children or how to dress." (She is frequently seen scrubbing her fence in her sports bra and spandex shorts.) "But when it comes to keeping a clean house, I will listen to her. Look over there." (Even her garage is completely spotless and in order.) She knows about keeping her house clean.<br />
<br />
Then it occurred to me that probably EVERYONE has something they could teach me. <br />
Will I listen or watch them and learn? Or will my pride keep me from learning what they have to teach? Will I be so arrogant as to assume that they have nothing to offer? If you had asked me before I would have said that sure, I can learn from anyone. But I had never REALLY thought about it. While I was pressure washing my house (with soap) I had time to really think about it. And I decided that I will try. Not only does it benefit me because I get to learn and grow, but it's also good because it encourages me to esteem others more. It's more difficult to have an arrogant attitude if I'm considering what they have to offer. <br />
<br />
Anyway, those are my random pressure washing thoughts. If it all sounds ridiculous then it's probably just because the really loud pressure washer was jarring my brain and the soap was frying my eyes.<strike> </strike>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427578502706339862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125600620637070908.post-33401524109241932622012-06-14T17:07:00.004-07:002012-06-14T17:07:50.562-07:00Sorry I haven't been updating as often as I should...or as I would like.

My house is dark even though it's day time. I have candles burning. I just got out of the shower and I feel all cozy. I should really be doing SOMETHING productive....cleaning, homeschooling, sewing up some ripped toys that the children have been begging me to do forever. But I'm sitting in my recliner watching it rain. Maybe I will sew up those toys. I feel all productive and domestic when I'm doing it, the children will be happy and I won't have to leave my recliner, well, only to go get my sewing box.

The way I see it June, July and August are summer. September, October and November are fall. December, January and February are winter. In my world it's just that simple.<br />
<br />
I LOVE summer. <br />

I have motivation and energy. <br />
<br />
I feel like cleaning. And mothering. And sewing. And homeschooling. <br />
<br />
It gave me an idea. I have never had an energy drink. I see them when I check out at the Dollar General. They are small. They are in a bright red (energetic looking) container. And they say they will give me FIVE HOURS OF ENERGY!!!! <br />
<br />
Now when I'm feeling sluggish, and tired, and I have no energy....I don't want to drink an energy drink. I want to cuddle up in my recliner in my jammies with my pink blanket, and possibly do some whining. <br />
<br />
<br />
BUT now that I'm cleaning and feeling fantastic.....five hours of energy doesn't sound too shabby. <br />
<br />
Do they work? Are they safe? Will I clean my house with a smile and a song like Speedy Gonzalez? Will Heath come home tonight and stand with his mouth hanging open in wonder and awe because of the amazing transformation of our home and children? <br />
<br />
Will it just land me in the hospital due to too much zest and vigor?<br />
<br />
I don't know.....but I'm thinking about it. <br />
<br />
If I do happen to get in my car and drive to the store and purchase and energy drink, drink it, and then live to tell the story I will let you all know what happened.<br />
<br />

We were riding in the car today and Luke said, "Stop talking about Washington DC. You're making me hungry! I said, "Washington DC isn't exactly known for it's amazing cuisine." Luke said, "I know. But Washington DC makes me think of monuments, and monuments make me think of the seven wonders of the world, and the seven wonders of the world make me think about pyramids, and pyramids make me hungry." I said, "How do pyramids make you hungry?" He said, "You know....the food pyramid, and the pictures of the eggs, and meats and stuff."<br />

Well, not we, more like Heath. He has two jobs now. A full-time one doing marketing for a construction company, and a part-time one delivering pizzas for Dominos. He works about 60 hours a week now and we never see him! At least we can start catching up on some bills. We had gotten behind when he moved to Milton to join us because the job hunt took longer than we were hoping/expecting. It was rough. Thank God for employment! <br />
<br />
My Daddy has generously lent Heath his hunting truck to go to work on. If I had any sense I would have taken a before and after pic of it when Heath cleaned it up. It didn't even look like the same truck! Now the children and I still have the van during the days. This is wonderful! We have never had two vehicles. Well, we did, but we sold the second one because it wasn't worth the insurance payment to us because we never used it! With him working so much it's great that I am able to go to the grocery store, or take the children to the park or the library. These are good days for me. I am so thankful for Heath's jobs and life is feeling so.....ummmm.....good? You see why I don't write blogs too much? To be such a talker you would think that I would write better! <br />
<br />
Our days have definitely developed a rhythm to them. We have never had a schedule AT ALL, but now we almost do. We wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, clean up the house, do some school work and then play for the rest of the day. I'm not sure that is exactly a schedule, but for this non-scheduling family it feels like one. And I like the structured feeling it gives me. It makes me feel like I am in fact accomplishing stuff! And that's a good feeling. :)<br />
<br />
And here is a picture of LillyAnne helping me sweep. It's one of her favorite things to do and it's super cute. What a blessing she is to us all!<br />
<br />
P.S. The other night Londyn came out of her room and said, "LillyAnne keeps tackling me and trying to bite me!!!!" I teasingly said, "Oh, is she a crazy mean sister?" Londyn said in a very serious voice, "No, she's lovely and it just tickles."<br />

I thought everyone called baby chickens biddies but apparantly I'm wrong. People keep asking me, "What's a biddy?" A biddy is a baby chicken. I now try to remember to call them chicks. Anyway, we do this every spring, this biddy getting thing. We get them when they are tiny and when they grow big enough to be rough and tough, they will go live at my Daddy's house. The children love to play with the chicks and raise them and Daddy is always happy to get a few new chickens. It's a win-win situation. We have eight this year. In all years past we have had three. The difference is that every other year I go buy the chicks and this year Daddy did. The children just sit in the backyard and watch them for hours. Especially Levi. Last night I went out to get him because it was dark and he hadn't come in. He was sitting in the yard and had all eight biddies cuddled up sleeping in his lap. He's such an animal lover.<br />
Here are some chick pics. I hope you enjoy!

When we pulled up Levi said, "Star has a baby!!!" I was getting ready to tell him it must be some other baby when I looked and saw that it was hers! Of course I didn't have my camera with me. I didn't think she was due for another month. When Heath got home from work we took him to see the baby and took our camera with us. It's too bad because the pictures aren't that great at night, but you can see what he looks like. He doesn't have a name yet. I was hoping for Moon Dancer because his mother's name is Silver Star. Silver Star and Moon Dancer. It sounds good together right? And who does he look like??? I'll give you a hint; his sire is a big palomino stud! lol It sure added a lot of excitement to our day. Yay for baby horses!!!

It was great. I thought LillyAnne might be afraid of the water, or that she wouldn't want to get in the sand. Boy was I wrong! LillyAnne loved EVERYTHING about the beach. She loved playing in the sand, eating the sand, splashing in the water, all of it. We just went for two hours in the afternoon. There are barnacles that grow on the pier and the children were "feeding" them. They were so disgusting. No one was really at the beach and I was paranoid because Heath, Luke, Levi and Londyn were so far out in the water and they were the only substantial shark meal that I could see. They didn't get eaten though, or even bitten, and everyone had a great time so it was a great trip. :)

He took them to Waffle House and then to buy some chicks. I told him we would be chick foster parents. When they get their feathers they can go live at his house. The children love raising them. We get some every spring. I told Daddy to get three. He came home with eight. I said, "You were supposed to get three!" He said, "I got everyone two in case one died. They would still have one." I said, "That would be six!" He said, "Two for me too." So typical. They are precious. I would have pictures but it was rainy today so they would only be pictures of chicks in a crate. I'll see if I can't do better than that.
But here's a picture for you...of the artwork on the garage that Levi drew with a sharpie. Those things need to be outlawed.

I was expecting spagetti or lasagna but they served some high quality yumminess. The facilites were beautiful. The conference was encouraging and uplifting. I can't say enough good things about it! What a blessing! I believe that soon you will be able to download or order all of the sessions. If you can I would highly reccomend it. It was just wonderful. If they have it again next year Katie and I will definitely be attending.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427578502706339862noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125600620637070908.post-33830809849314895342012-05-03T12:34:00.001-07:002012-05-03T12:34:45.946-07:00PackingI am packing for my Living a Legacy conference! I'm so excited. I'm also a tad nervous about leaving my children behind. I will be gone for two nights. They have never been without me for two nights except when I was at the hospital having a baby and they have only been away from me for one night one time, when Londyn was just a few months old. Thankfully I'm leaving them in the very capapble and loving hands of their Daddy. I know he will do great. I'm super excited!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07427578502706339862noreply@blogger.com0
