A little Wisdom for today.

Yesterday I had an appointment and on our way out, I saw a piece of paper with a quote on it

" A woman is like a tea bag: You never know how strong she is until she get's in hot water."
-Eleanor Roosevelt

I just love this quote

The Stence Children

Micah smiling at momma. Shylah taking her nap
Hana taking her nap.
Elanor taking her nap.
Jeremiah taking his nap.
This is what happens when we play all day on the swing and searching for coal. They love to look for coal . I think this land was a place where they weighed the coal.

what a week

how can you resist that smile? here is our sun room. I am turning it into a playroom with all there junk...i mean toys :)
My hubby's work . All he has to do is walk out the door and cross the street!
This was taken at the top of our drive way.

This is our home!
I want to put a trampoline here or a nice picnic table.
Our home from another view.
more land, and a photo of the truck my hubby drives. I should be getting paid for advertising:)

My Shylah, decided to take a mud bath. while her sister's and brother rooting her on.

I found this when I was getting my clothes off the line. I really have no idea what that thing is.
This is the Amish clothes line my hubby built me.
The tire swing my children love to play on.
This is our garage and some more land.

Man, am I glad that this week is over. This has been a very busy week for the Stence Family. We finally moved in and it was a very long process. I want to thank everyone who helped (Raylin, you sure know how to go in and take charge:) ) Since then I have been sawing tree branches off our property to make it more "pretty" and then sawing what I cut of to burn for the winter. A hand saw is hard work:) My husband built me a Amish clothes line. OH WHAT A BLESSING. I love it. and in the process of doing laundry I smashed my finger in the wheel (it doesn't feel to good) Philip also put a tire swing up for the children. They spend hrs on end swinging on that thing. here are some pictures. of the new house. There isn't much of the inside ( you really don't want to see that yet:( ) I still have a lot of unpacking to do.

No internet

We are officially into our new house. So which means no Internet. I am currently at the library trying to put Internet at our new house. I have been trying for a week. To let you know Comcast doesn't have good costumer service. Well I will be without Internet for about a week.

Talk to you then.

Avalanche Ranch

Elanor acting silly while enjoying her juice and cookie.

I love his blue eyes!They were calling him Captain and all running from him while he chased them.

It was hard to get a picture of her without pretzels in her hand. (notice I didn't achieve it)
Here is Elanor and her new friend Hannah
Abby didn't want me to take her photo. She kept waving her hand in front of her face.

I love this smile on her. Just beautiful.

This picture makes her look all grown up. Where has the time gone????
My Little boy isn't little anymore :(
This expression on Philip's face is priceless!!
Bekah didn't want me to take her photo either. I caught her by surprised. While she was putting her bandanna in her daddy's pocket I had the camera ready to take and said "ohhhh Bekah" She turned around and gave me this adorable smile. Then She realized what I did and took off running.


My "little prairie girl"

Philip's face is hilarious in this photo.
Hana and Bekah enjoying there cookies .
Believe it or not all Shylah wanted was pretzels
Another photo of Bekah and Hana eating their cookies.



Hana was all smiles today. Wanted me to keep on snapping her picture.
