Life

You know blogging seemed so much easier in theory than in practice. Life just kind of gets in the way. So here is a brief update of what's going on.
Sunday is C's birthday. He will be 4. I can't believe it. He is so smart and so rotten.
His first name means victorious and his middle name means wished for. My how this baby was wished for for so many years. And God gave a victory when he was conceived and born. I am amazed at the miracles of God every time I look at him. He is such a blessing to us.
I don't know how anyone could reject these blessings. God calls children a blessing and money a curse. I think in this country we have it backward. We pray for curses and reject blessings. Sad but true.

So today we went to get him a b-day present. I didn't get one because I need to get it at the mall. I also got stuff to put in the Easter eggs since Sunday is also Easter. He will have such a good time hunting eggs.

I am also going to let the littles color eggs for the first time. What fun. Oh I meant to get disposable cups for that. I guess it is back to the store. LOL

I am cooking on Sunday too. We are not having dinner at church as most people are going to eat with family so I am cooking. One of my sisters is coming over. She is supposed to go to church with us too.

Oh I am making C a Scoop cake. Ok it is not really scoop but it is a back hoe. If you don't know who scoop is you need to watch Bob the Builder. You can see the cake and recipe here. Here is a pic of the finished cake.
I think he will LOVE it. I have done several different cakes for him. Last year was cars and the year before was a train. The train is my favorite. Looks yummy. We will see how it looks after I do it. LOL

Today is a pretty day so we are going to hunt eggs with our neighbor. They have two kids about the age of my two youngers. It should be fun. They love to go over there and play. They have the coolest toys.

School it going pretty good. Even as hard as it is some days and even on days I don't think I am doing my kids justice I love homeschooling. I love having them with me and not off for someone else to raise. I am so blessed to be able to have them home all day every day. God is so good.

I am selling books online which is fun and exciting and now I have money to buy more. LOL

Hmm I guess that is all that is new from the Stone home. Just keep tuned in for pics of the b-day boy through the years.
Blessings to all my friends.
