Hee hee hee!!Kate, thanks for the enthusiasm. Yep, that cutwork apron is one of my creations....I love aprons made from old petticoats and that one is definitely a favorite. I made the dress I'm wearing in the photo that shows my feet.. I also made the little fairy blessing bag with the word "sing" on it that is hanging from Carol's ukelele. I made those little bags for Farm Fair this year..they have a secret fairy blessing inside..They were such a delight to make...There's one last picture with something in it that I made and that is Kate's skirt. She is featured with her daughter Avery for the mother/daughter aprons. She bought that praire skirt from me at Farm Fair. I was thrilled beyond the beyond to see her wearing it. It was definitely one of my favorites!

Send me an email when you can. Things are winding down here..getting chilly and feeling the pull to slow-down and welcome winter days with a new baby! Very exciting times...

Today is my daughter's 3rd birthday..sooooo adorable..I can hardly believe it! So much fun...
Many smiles to you..you made my day!

I have one son, Dennis. He is 16 years old, and (most of the time!) I would not change a thing about him!! He is an avid soccer player, raises chickens, and loves to fish, hunt, and spend time with his grandpa. He has a girlfried, pretty steady now for 2 years. He insists he will be like his parents and grandparents and marry his high school sweetheart! He got a job at a Farmers feed and tractor supply store when the owner overheard Dennis talking his dad into buying a more expensive chain saw!! He is highly opinionated, but very respectful, and well loved by peers and adults alike. I am truly blessed.

I've been reading this thread since it begin, but haven't gotten around to saying much. My kids (ages 3-8) are so involved in life that we have no time for outside activities. We are a homeschool family and run mostly on unschooling principals. That means everything from cooking, sewing, gardening, and butchering can be called school (with a short math and reading lesson each morning). Of course, they all have thier own intrests and talents...

George 8--This is my little farmer man. He helps me with the animals first thing in the morning and checks on them through the day. He loves to "invent" and build, and already has a hideous supply of junk to glean from for his latest project. When his daddy is delpoyed, I don't know how I would get by with out that boy. We've managed household moves, butchered flocks of chickens, and doctored many sick animals together. When he grows up he wants to be an adventurer and travel the world.

Marcella 6-- Marcella is a little lady, most of the time. She likes to play house, plant flowers, help design sewing projects, embroder, and decorate the table for supper each night. She loves doing her school work and mothering the youngest two children (she would mother George if he would stand for it). My husband says I should have had her first and then I wouldn't have had to bother about raising the others...she would have taken over. Of all my children, Marcella love the goats the most and will spend hours just hanging out with them. When she grows up she wants to be ME! What a compliment!

Coleman 5-- This is my child of contradictions. One moment he will be tearing around the house on a tricycle making siren sounds and the next he will be cuddled up on the couch with me telling me how he loves his mama. He loves to cook and garden, will repeat entire scenes from a movie he has seen once, loves to help with anything, tends to butt heads with just about everyone, and is always good for a laugh. This year, he enrolled himself in kindergarten and is doing very well although I didn't intend to start him until next year (he turned 5 last weekend).

Gretchen 3-- Is sassy and loves kitties. So far she is the baby and you can tell she's felt the effects. She loves to look at books and play with babies, hates butchering day, and trys to convince everybody she is the boss. She has a bit of ornery in her and likes to give her Bubba George fits with her disregard for rules.

We don't stay home all the time and do enjoy at least one outting each week. My kids are a hit at the health food store and well know regulars at the feed store where they have made friends with everybody. We get together with other homeschoolers at least once a week. We are all very artistic and work on many joint projects and otherwise stay busy. A friend and I just finished costuming the youth production of Midsummers Night Dream, so we will start on our Chirstmas gifts nex week.

I can't believe Kaylee is going to be 3 this month!!! She's getting so big! She was introduced to ballerinas through this book/puzzle thing that my mom gave her and has been completely obsessed with ballerinas for the last 6 months. My Mother In Law made her a bunch of tutu's to run around in and that fueled the fire big time.. I then heard around the mom grapevine around here that there were a couple of really fun creative dance classes for toddlers around here so I just enrolled her in Ballet/creative dance at the beginning of September.

She really enjoys it except for the 2nd Tuesday of each month because it's parachute day, and we have a parachute in storage... unfortunatly for the teacher and Kaylee too, the parachute we have was used as crazy free for all kid time they crawled on it under it whatever... and on a slippery wooden floor like the one they have at class that kind of running around on it isn't safe.

They are supposed to prance around it like "little ponies" without touching it, and pick a color and hop from one color to the next around the peremeter..... so don't you know it.. second Tuesday of each month poor Kaylee is asked to sit down until she can follow directions, because she see's that thing and just dives into it... We have only exerienced two very sad Tuesdays so far, so I really hope she adapts! Other than that she is having a blast, and doing really well!

Halsey is still too little to be in anything, but the way she tries to do the dance moves from the sidelines, I think she will want to do it next year too...

you can be oh so smart, or you can be oh so positive. I wasted a lot of time being smart I prefer being positive.

I have 5 which are all adult age,

Bryan 26: He enjoys anything you can drive and drive fast!!!! He is presently in the Army stationed in Ca and is a tank mechanic and trained in search and rescue of tanks and a few other things. Getting Married 8/07

Jon 22: He enjoys video games hour after hour after hour. He also likes to write. He is also in the Army stationed in Iraq he works on generators and water supply systems.

Andrea 22: She enjoys children!!!!! She graduated this year from college and is an early childhood teacher. She also will be getting married 4/07 and I'm sure a mom shortly after.

Kate 21: She enjoys animals. She is a very caring person which gets her hurt alot of the time. She has a smile that would melt a glacier. She also carries with her mental health issues that she choses not to medicate for. I don't see her as often as I would like but love her from a far.

Keven 18: He is kicking and screaming his way into adulthood. He also like to drive fast and do burnouts. He even once tried to fly a car he had just bought. Cars do not fly well! Luckly he was not hurt. It took him two months to tell me about it as he move to live with his dad as life is easier with dad. (Daddy pays for all, mom does not!) He leaves for Army boot camp on the 18th and I think it will be a rude awakening for him. He is very lazy and hates to work. But has a heart of gold and loves to antique, flee markets, thrift store, auctions and our favorite dumpster diving. His girlfriend is talking wedding also in 2007, I am hoping they wake up and realise they are too young and need to learn a bit more about life before taking vows. Like getting jobs to earn money to buy food, pay for housing and car insurance.

The 22 yr olds are not twins. I adopted the 22 yr old boy and 21 yr old girl when they were 5&6 (shortly after my divorce). One of my children also showed me the juvenile justice system. I knew every policeman, county sheriff, social worker and judge in our small comunity and they all knew me. But I would not trade any of them for anything. They along with my new hubby are my greatest pleasure next to God.

Pray for our troops to come home safe and soon.
Enjoying the road to the simple life :>)

Oh, Im loving this thread! As a mama of 3 boys, we are very busy these days.

Zane (4)- he is my lover boy and has recently gotten into cooking with me, he loves making cookies and pies and our latest was bread this evening, also running, jumping, whacking things with sticks, and reading about the seasons and how animals adapt to the changing weather

Ian (4)- he is my wild man, running and running and running, drawing, wrestling with the dog, and building with scraps of wood, and running his cars into things and off of ramps he builds out of recycled boxes

Wyatt (18 mo. old)- he is our animal lover and our best eater, follows the dog around endlessly, still cuddles with his mama, picks green tomatoes out of the garden, eating peas off the vine, and taking walks in his wagon

The older two are in gymnastics right now, but will stop that as soon as this session is out. They loved it this summer, but I think it is too much with pre-school right now. Maybe soccer later, but right now they are very content to run in the park and are learning to climb trees. But when the winter comes, it is really nice to have an activity for them to be inside and get some of that energy out so they dont drive me nuts ;-)

My son has always been a busy kid, he seems to thrive on it so we let him do as much as he thinks he can handle: Sports (soccer and baseball), band , jazz band, scouts , den chief for cub scouts , volunteers as a "buddy" for special needs kids organized sports, and
church activities as they arise. The few times he actually dropped a few activities he was bored and missed it! As long as the grades stay up, he's a happy kid and so are we. As for the baby... crawling,
cruising, taking up to four steps at a time and yelling "GOOOOD" are what he is about these days! As well as giving BIG juicy kisses!

with a happy heart
Celticheart Posted - Oct 08 2006 : 9:50:02 PM
I really like reading about everyone's kids and their interests. I have four kids, three are grown and married. They all had many and varied interests growing up. Everything from music(piano, flutes, trumpet and now tenor sax) to sports(baseball--even through Legion baseball, basketball, volleyball, softball, Little Guy Wrestling, golf, swimming, weight lifting--that was a girl, trap shooting and now football and track). They all love to read--well except the one still in high school, but even he is a good student. Nowdays they love hiking, backpacking and camping, fishing and hunting, softball, knitting, quilting and scrapbooking.

I still have one left at home and he's a senior in high school this year. He is very busy with football, track, jazz band and FFA. He's been the only one to ever raise animals for 4-H and FFA.
That's been quite an experience. He's competed on several FFA teams locally, regionally and at the state level. This year his FFA Ag Mechanics team(a team of five)won the state title and in two weeks they will travel to Indianapolis to compete at the FFA National Convention. Quite an accomplishment for five guys from one of the smallest schools in the state.

Thanks to my kids I've received quite an education too. I've learned to love baseball and tolerate pigs and thanks to one of them I know more about the juvenile justice system in the state of Washington than I ever wanted to. Now my grandkids are teaching me things!

Adorable (the teacup) and Rianna is a pretty pretty name!! It really fits with your other children's names too! I like it when a family's names "go together".

Jenny, Thank you!! The little Goddess growing in my belly and causing grief in the heartburn department is named, "Rianna." My husband Doc selected that one. I had mentioned liking the name "Carianna" but he turned around and said something to effect, "Honey, I think I know what her name is...." When he said Rianna it was so right. We both sat there a little stunned imagining ourselves calling out to the kids playing in the pasture; "Reo, Aria, Rianna!!!" Very melodic indeed. They are wonderful kids to be sure as all children are....
We're off to pick crabapples to make jelly in a few days. I'm finally finishing off the last of the tomatoes to make into tomatoe sauce for canning. I have only the crabapple jelly and pumpkin left to can.. It has been a wonderful season for me this year. I suppose this is my way of nesting!
Thanks again, Julia Hayes
ps: what did you think of Aria's little tea cup in MaryJane's latest magazine...and my big old hand!

Libbie, I don't think I quite wrapped my head around the fact that you have a brand new baby! How wonderful! Cooing sounds and smiles?!!! heavens, it soothes me just thinking about it. I'll be there in a few short months.. I think having this baby girl in December will be so fun in terms of staying inside doing all kinds of cuddly activities. I plan on creating a large indoor blanket fort/hide-out for Reo and Aria, who just love playing hide and seek. I can imagine playing this kind of game while I'm nursing the new one for hours! Winter is such a wonderful time of year...I know many moms who go a little stir crazy with their kids feeling cooped up but that hasn't ever really bothered us here. For whatever reason, we can always find something to do! I think games and art will play a major role this winter..keep me posted on what you're doing with your little ones!
Many happy new baby thoughts!

My son, Reo (5 years) loves to play outside and with toys. I haven't enrolled him in any kind of organized sport yet. I figure when he starts kindergarten, there will be plenty of time for that. He likes to go out to the field and cut down corn stalks, dead-head flowers and eat apples off the trees. He also loves throwing clods of dirt on the barn watching how they get pulverized and rain down a dusty dirty shower. Right now he's into raking leaves and jumping in the big pile he's made. When he's inside he can amuse himself for hours with race cars, trains, puzzles and books. Reo has recently shown great interest in playing 'doctor' using his very own stethoscope. He had his booster shots last week and brought his stethscope with him. When the nurse what listening to his heart, he put the stethscope to my belly so he could hear his baby sister, Rianna's heartbeat..So adorable! So now he examines me every day to make sure the baby is well and getting ready to come out and "meet us!"
My daughter, Aria (almost 3 yrs) is a very different person. She is also incredibly independent but prefers being closer to mama. She'll participate in virtually anything I'm doing. If I'm sewing, she's "organizing" fabric or thread or buttons. If I'm gardening (right now I'm harvesting soup beans), she's right there in the garden finding all kinds of things to examine. She thoroughly enjoys books and anything having to do with ponies or horses..in fact, she's a little obsessed. For her birthday I'm making her a new dress with horsey fabric. She will be over the moon!
They play really well together and can spend a long while in our playground just entertaining themselves with sand toys or inventing games in the tree fort. Both love riding with me on my Jane Deere and in my pickup truck..Lately we've been harvesting sunflower heads for drying and pumpkins and loading them up in the beater pick up..They absolutely love riding in that thing bouncing all over and helping pick pumpkins..We have a pretty quiet life out here..simple, and unhurried. We are very, very blessed.
I think my favorite activity of all time, though, is when they fly kites in the pasture with their dad. He is all about games and activities with them and they just love it. It is so wonderful watching them stare at beautiful kites flying high against a crystal blue backdrop. It always takes my breath away!
There's a little glimpse of my children and our life.

My son Greg is 16. Not so far away will be 17.(They grow up so fast)I am missing him already because all we talk about lately is colleges.Greg loves music. He plays electic bass, upright bass( with and without the bow), guitar, keyboards and drums. He is in his high school jazz band were he plays both basses.He wants to be musician but he also wants to get a degree in music education. He is auditioning for the allstate jazz band in November and I think I am more nervous than him. Both his music teachers( the one from his high school and his private lesson teacher) tell me how talented he is. I do think he sounds great but I am the bias Mom. He also likes to draw but mostly focus on his music. Well enough bragging.

Oh, I just LOVE reading about what everyone's children (and grown children!) are doing - all of these kids are mighty lucky to have farmgirl mamas, that's for darn sure.

William, my 3-year-old, absolutely loves to do make-believe play about anything tht includes farming and rodeos - and he is constantly going on livestock "round-ups" in the yard - mostly the chickens and, yesterday morning, with very limited success, the cat. He keeps telling me that next year, "when I get bigger," he wants to do Pee-Wee 4-H Horsemanship. Yikes! That means I have to find a horse...and tack...and A HELMET!!!

Arthur, my 2-month-old, is VERY into eating, snuggling and sleeping - AND over the last few days, has developed the most wonderful soft little "coo" and smile... so sweet.

XOXO, Libbie

Mine are grown now too, but sports played a huge part of lives when they were growing up. Baseball, soccer, football, karate, and basketball....they also did scouts. I think it is very important to be involved in something, it keeps kids out of trouble. I wish we had the time and money to do music lessons ~ I think it is wonderful for a child to learn to play an instrument.

I will be brief since I have lots of children ;).

Callum- 13.5 plays sports for the middle school he attends. That and being social takes a lot of time. He plays football, basketball and runs track.

The rest we homeschool so we do lots of things together.

Katie- 8 takes Irish Step Dance class and gymnastics. She loves to create. Crafting, sewing and playing take up the rest of her time. Oh and her cat and bunny are her other loves.

Wil 5.5- loves to draw and make up stories. He is playing soccer this year but he is still very young for team sports (IMHO). But he insisted so we allowed him to play. He is enjoying it ok.

Benjamin 3- got a new bike for his birthday and LOVES riding all the time. He loves choo choos and constructions vehicles.

Andrew- nurses and talks in baby babble to everyone!! He is trying to crawl and can sit-up alone.

All the children love to be outside having adventures (even my 13yo, when I can drag him from the phone).
I am extremely blessed with wonderful children. Not perfect but they are just awesome!!

Tracey,
mama to Callum 13, Katie 8, Wil 5.5, Benjamin 3 and Andrew 6 months!!

i love hearing stories of your families. i think sharing stories is what makes 'true friends'.

our oldest daughter, kristen, was my little JOCK .. she loved to play sports and was a fantastic gymnast and cheerleader. she adored FRIENDS and always had the surrounding her. And on the PHONE constantlly with them! she loved going and doing and adventures.

youngest daughter, wednesday, was our little PRISS .. beautiful ballerina and FANTASTIC actress. She also played the BASSOON (which was bigger than she was!) When she auditioned for the Baltimore High School for the Performing Arts .. they said they would accept her in any of her areas of talent (she chose dance). She was totally happy even when there were no other friends around. She loved playing anything that included a desk and 'supplies' ... be it school, office, hospital. she also was under contract with a modelling agency and got quite a few well-paying jobs. i was told over and over that i should take her to new york! but she preferred dance over all!

I loved to watch them go up and down stairs .. Kristen always did FLIPS .. up and down the stairs ... Wednesday was alway leaping and grande jettaying (i know i spelled that one wrong) up and down the steps!

My kids are busy...
My oldest that are grown now, as well as the young ones

He played sports as a kid and on the high school water polo team and a rugby team as a young single guy and loved that too.He was very involved in scouts and the explorer program where he was involved with the fire dept.

My oldest, Eliza, really loves the outdoors. She likes hiking, riding her bike, camping, and especially animals. Eliza has a great connection to animals of all kinds...she asks everyday when we can move to a farm so she can have a horse and some hens.

Chloe, she is just 3 and her Daddy's little shadow, so she loves whatever Dad loves...motorcycles, making knives, bugs. She also like to catch bugs and pretend she is a ballerina
Baby Emme, she just loves her Mama!

I have stayed away from the "soccer mom" mentality, we don't sign up for alot of lessons, camps, sports teams etc....the school my girls go to send home a *huge* ammount of homework, so I want their hometime to be free...kid's need to play!

my daughter loves to create gourd art, also she enjoys sewing...and anything to do with studying/learning about bugs.
She also enjoys archeological articles/shows.
She really enjoys crafting items. She likes learning how to cook as well... and can make some really yummy looking rosemary/honey scones.She is a member of the Florida Gourd Society.
She is currently working on creating items to open up her own website store with her handcrafted items.
She really has a talent in artistic endeavours/painting/sewing/sculpting onto the gourds, carving.
So we just try to encourage her in those areas as much as possible.Am trying to steer her into the direction of offering these handcrafted items to others and becoming a young entrepreneur.Developing a business plan and just "going for it!"
