Head over to my other blog Princess Things to see some of the new bows I have made and received. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think. Also I am working on opening up my own web store to sell my bows and some other things. I have the domain name and the web host now just have to design the web page (a new new thing to me). Stay turned for updates.

Kim at In a Shoe has tagged me for the 6 Quirky Things meme. It’s been a while since I did a meme, so here goes. The rules:

* Link the person who tagged you.
* Mention the rules in your blog.
* Tell about six unspectacular quirks of yours.
* Tag a new set of six following bloggers by linking them:


I will tag the following people:
1. Audrey at So this is Heaven on Earth
2. Kilikina at Live Each Moment
3. Victoria at Just call my Mommy
4. Shannon at 4 Wild Boys
5. Donna at Blessings of Love
6. JD at Tripping Over Cobblestone

Now for 6 quirky things about me...

1. I butter my tortilla chips from restaurants
2. If I know the song I will sing along. On a movie, tv, radio, where ever
3. I like filing taxes (doesn't matter whos just the act of doing it), balancing the checkbook. Fun Fun Fun!
4. I enjoy playing on my sons Nintendo DS
5. I like the clothes from the 50's you know the full skirts and dresses with full skirts (you know like Donna Reed wore on her show)
6. When are vehicles are having a problem I can tell you what the problem is not. My husband will say "I think that the alternator is going out" and I will tell him no it's not the alternator. I don't know what it is but it's not the alternator. I am usually right but it drives hubby crazy.

Okay that's it. If you want to play along and I didn't tag you go ahead and leave a link to your post in comments so I can come read it.

So I was instructed to write a welcoming post. So hello everybody. I am a stay at home mom to 7 children. Yes, you heard right 7 children. We have 5 boys whom were all born first and then when I had figured that we would only have boys God graced us with two girls. Everyday is an adventure and I am enjoying every moment of it.

So go back and sign up and check out everyone's party post and get to know some other people out there in cyber space.

For this summer I don't have alot planned we never really do. We will be going to a family reunion in June and celebrating Arabella's 1st birthday in July and Marshall's 5th birthday in Aug. Other than that I don't really have alot of plans. We will try to get some swimming in along the way and maybe a few other things too.

The four prizes that are my favorite that I would love to win are as follows:
1. Mary Kay Satin Hands
2. Chesapeake Ribbons: A Meggan Gift Set with a $15 Gift certificate
3. Be Jeweled Designs: A Photographer's Tutu in Bubbble Gum Pink
4. Daisy Layne Boutique: Win a $15 gift certificate

This is the other photo that represents "motherhood" to me. I am surrounded by all my children some are upset, some happy, some ready to be done, some distracted and some paying attention to things elsewhere. Everyday we see our children in differents moods, with different personalities. Yes, I like the pictures that come out with everyone looking forward at the camera, smilings, but I also like the photos that are less than perfect as they show my children in there true forms, less than perfect. We are all less than perfect and pictures that turn out so with funny faces, and wrong facing show a childs personality and can make for a more endearing photo.

As part of a contest, we were asked to show a picture that represents "Motherhood" to you well I think this does. She was so happy and excited from an Easter day that included church, an egg hunt but here on the blanket outside was so excited from some candy and a water gun, stuffed Peep and some cheap little braclets. This is a happy time in my time as a mother and I think it shows motherhood to me.
