<br />
<br />
Legacy.<br />
<br />
What is legacy? According to the dictionary it means "anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor."<br />
<br />
But is this what I mean? Not exactly.<br />
<br />
My husbands grandma passed away this last week. And it got me thinking of those that I have lost recently. Then I thought of what they have taught me, showed me through thier actions. It is thier legacy that made me who I am.<br />
<br />
My grandma G:<br />

She taught me patience and love. I spent many summer with her and poppop. I miss her singing silly songs and her servants heart. She also had a wonderful relationship with Christ which showed in everything that she did. She taught me great patience. <br />

<br />My grandpa S:<br />

He was so full of joy. He was silly and loving. He taught me not to be serious all the time and to take risks because life is short. He loved strongly. He taught me peace.<br />
<br />
My Great Grandpa Fred:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He served the Lord as long as he could way into his 90's. He loved the Lord so hardly and talked about how blessed he life had been. He could always be seen with a smile. He taught me that the Lord is not done with you until he calls you home, perseverance. <br />
<br />
My husband grandma Q:<br />

Although I was not raised with this wonderful women I learn a lot from her during my time with my husband. She was a lovely wonderful women. She love with all her heart all her family and extended. She also had a wonderful relationship with God and it was evident in her attitude and manners. She taught me peace. <br />
<br />
<br />
You see without these people I would not be who I am. It is their legacy of love, faith, committment, trust that made me....me.<br />
<br />
It is these people that make me what to be a better stronger more dedicated Christain. It is these people that taught me how to live life to the fullest. It is these people that left a legacy of love down many generations. It is because of these people that I want to work to make my marriage work. It is because of these people that gives me the strength to be a better mom. It is their legacy living through me. <br />
<br />
It makes me think of the legacy that I am leaving to my children and beyond. What are my actions teaching? What are my words really saying?<br />
<br />
What legacy am I going to leave?<br />

I am fairly new to doing quilts. I got hooked on them a couple of years ago. I decided that I should put my 'talent' to good use (plus my family didn't need any more quilts and I wanted to make another one). So, I made this quilt for my parents relay for like team. The theme is 'sports' and they named their team the ducks.....so my brain started working. I got the grid paper out and started drawing.</div>

With my husbands help we came up a football style quilt. Simple design. I machine appliqued the helmets and 'Oregon' and 'Ducks' (that is with my embroidery machine). I 'regularly' appliqued the duck feet and hash marks.</div>

A newbies version of a baby quilt. I was lucky enough to win a set of fat quarters from a wonderful blog so I decided to make a baby quilt. It was from the Joel Dewberry Notting hill collection (tangerine). I was over the moon when I won this. I got to my graph paper again and started to draw. It didn't take long to come up with what I wanted to make. A simple baby quilt.</div>

My wonderful mother-in-law takes the four kids for an entire week. My husband took the week off of work and we just had fun.<br /><br />We watched Green lantern on Monday. I went for Ryan Reynolds, he went for the comic book sci-fi! :) :). It was good, I really did enjoy it! Then my sweetie took me to the fabric store and target. He is a keeper.<br /><br />On Tuesday we went bowling. It had been so long since we went. It felt like we were in college dating again. I won the first game. He won the second leaving us exactly tied on pins dropped, so of course we played a third game where he very much beat me!!<br /><br />On Wed we went to a place called bullwinkles, it is a family fun center. We played miniature golf and silly ticket arcade games. We were able to 'buy' the kids a woopie cushion, a jump rope and a spikey ball with all our tickets :) :)<br /><br />That night we went to the 'cheap' (second run) theater and saw the Lincoln Lawyer. It was fun, I like those who can outsmart who type of movies. The language was rough, a bit of violence, and on 'personal' scene that could of been done without, but good altogether.<br /><br />We did nothing on Thursday, well we went nowhere. We played video games, watched tv (catching up on some shows) and just relaxed.<br /><br />Friday we didn't do much. Although my husband isn't to into garage sales, he went with me anyway....love that man. He did take me to a cute little shop around here that has vendors of all sorts of misc stuff. Mostly older stuff redone and really cute decor. I love walking around there.<br /><br />The kids came back on Saturday afternoon. I really did miss them, but had a super great time with just my love!<br /><br />On a side note, I got a lot of sewing done too. I finished a quilt top, pictures to come later. I got a pair of pajamas done for my daughter and cut out a bunch of other stuff. Now, it is back to reality and life with four crazy kids :) :)bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02735358098367434212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944418925928626485.post-22133361800406408602011-06-15T07:21:00.001-07:002011-06-15T07:29:08.004-07:00Krista's QuiltMy college roommate is having a baby!!

Why? Because we have had a small illness run through the family. I told my husband that he is cooking dinner and it can't be bought (LOL). So, it was pancakes for dinner!! :) :) <br /><br />Wack Wednesday is about the choas of my mommy life. The ups and downs and all that is in between.<br /><br />The ups:<br /><br />My son (3rd grade) got an A on his very first 'test' about gas/solid/liquids. The average was a 5 or 6 out of 14 and he got a 12!! Go big Bro!!<br /><br />My second son (1st grade) is getting better at reading. I was told by his teacher the last time I was in his class that he is almost at grade level. That is a HUGE jump from the beginning of the year and I am super super proud of him...he has worked hard.<br /><br />My daughter (4yo) has been coloring pages left and right and taking tape and putting them randomly on the wall, well I just love it. I don't want to take them down. I have an art gallery all through my house!!<br /><br />My youngest (2yo) well he is trouble, but there are up for him too :) :) He is going to bed much better then he use to and sleeping really well!!<br /><br />The downs:<br /><br />Having four kids means fights and whinning and much time in the car. Today expecially my two little ones have been fighting A LOT. My baby is finally feeling better after a couple day fever and getting into my daughters stuff. <br /><br />My two olders ones I hardly see. They come home from school and get a bite to eat and run back outside to play with their friends. Now, I do love it that they are outside and that they love being with friends, but I do kinda miss them!!<br /><br />For me and my husband we are looking forward to our week off. My MIL takes the kids for a whole week in the summer and we get to do WHATEVER! We normally go to the beach or something, but this year we are doing a 'staycation.' We are going to play around here this year.<br /><br />I am finishing up a custom project (picture to come on the next post). I LOVE custom project.....<br /><br />My life is full, but I sure do love it.bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02735358098367434212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944418925928626485.post-48325348939457624122011-06-06T19:11:00.000-07:002011-06-06T19:13:32.473-07:00Paris anyone!ohhappyday.com is having a giveaway to Paris France.

We have a four day weekend because the kids had off on Friday as well. My mom is here and we are going to have a relaxing couple of days.<br /><br />But really Memorial day is about remembering. So, that is what I am going to talk about today.<br /><br />I am a military brat. I moved around a lot when I was a kid, lived on base and off. I had a dad that was a career coastie (that is United States Coast Gaurd Officer). I am very proud of him. I am very proud of being an American.<br /><br />We are to remember that our freedom did come come free. It still isn't free. There were men and women in the past that fought to make up free, there are men and women that are still fighting to keep us free.<br /><br />Now you may not agree with everything that is going on with America right now. I know that I don't, but I will ALWAYS support our troops. Because they don't say 'no' when they are told to go. They don't complain that it is a 'stupid' war. They just go. No matter what. They do what they are told to do. They go into places that no one else would want to go. They do things that are uncomfortable for them. They carry a gun so that we can fight about whether carry a gun should be allowed. They live in tents, while we go camping. They eat prepackaged food, we eat at well prepared food. They put themselves in the line of fire, while we watch movies. I am proud of those men and women who do this every single day.<br /><br />I am proud to be an American.<br /><br />I enjoy the freedom to say what I want (and use it often). I enjoy the freedom to disagree. I enjoy the freedom to go to my church without fear.<br /><br />My comfy life is on the backs and because of the blood of those to fought the good fight and gave the ultimate gift. I love our country. I love our service man and women.<br /><br />This is a weekend of fun, but it is also a weekend to remember.<br /><br />Please Remember!!bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02735358098367434212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944418925928626485.post-19346105347003169812011-05-26T09:00:00.001-07:002011-05-26T09:11:19.505-07:00Winner Winner - Chicken DinnerWell the winner for the anything in my shop has been choosen. It was a lot of fun to do the sewmamasew giveaway. I was even lucky enough to win.<br /><br />So the winner of this May's giveaway day is Amber she writes:<br /><br /><br />Hello from Sunny New Mexico.<br /><br />So Congrats to Amber and thanks to all who came and took a look at my little blog.<br /><br /><br />And now for the chicken dinner. Oh you thought that I was just being funny...nope. I am giving you my recipe for pepper jack chicken. It is a fav at this house.<br /><br />First you take chicken strips or breasts (whatever you want) and marinate them in Itailian dressing for a couple of hours to all day (whatever you want)<br /><br />Take them out of the dressing and put them into a casserole dish. Making sure of not take to much of the dressing with them.<br /><br />Take slices of pepper jack cheese and put on top of your chicken. I usually smother them pretty good. Place the pan in the oven for 45-60 minutes on 350 until the cheese is starting to pretty golden brown color and it is bubbling good.<br /><br />Serve...easy as that and so so so flavorful....hope you enjoy!!!bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02735358098367434212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944418925928626485.post-46950298802455513812011-05-22T20:27:00.000-07:002011-05-22T20:38:55.921-07:00GIVEAWAY<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiUCkJpX4ckdvs7FmPINUGp-OardbhWedOr3f-JhuvBR74CfxzVtv0WFApctiM3oBIeZ4qPTofHLNuKkqf8JKqmYUOr6WdGJyeLy3HlagHB32BVBdG8nMs24vFkN_FmgkC-_20J7OK6-AL/s1600/MayGiveawayDay.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 138px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 138px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609748618229671042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiUCkJpX4ckdvs7FmPINUGp-OardbhWedOr3f-JhuvBR74CfxzVtv0WFApctiM3oBIeZ4qPTofHLNuKkqf8JKqmYUOr6WdGJyeLy3HlagHB32BVBdG8nMs24vFkN_FmgkC-_20J7OK6-AL/s200/MayGiveawayDay.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>So it that fun time in blog land again!!

Hope of thier savior coming to get them. Hope to stop living in this rollercoaster life. Hope for what they have been waiting for, an eternity with Christ. They will be disappointed later today or tomorrow when they realize that they are still on this earth. But they do have hope.<br /><br />I have hope. I have hope that one day my Lord will come and get me....I will live forever with him in heaven singing his praises for eternity. I have hope that He will be coming back soon. I do have hope. I don't know when that will happen. I really don't want to know when that is going to happen. It will happen all of a sudden and I will be gone.....boom!<br /><br />The world is hopeless. It lives for now. The pleasures of now, the power for now, the money for now. It doesn't really think about tomorrow or the 'after-life.' It puts no stock in that, because thinking of it would be a remembrance of the hopelessness that they have. Keep running, keep making money, keep getting stuff. If their minds are occupied with this, then they don't have time to think of their soul or what happens when they die.<br /><br />What are we doing? What is our purpose? Do we have hope or living a hopeless existance?<br /><br />Now I will confess that a part of me is making fun of the people who believe that today is the day that the Lord returns, but really it could be. Not even Jesus knows when he will be coming only the father. I have hope. I have hope in my future, here on this earth and after. I am not scared of death or the rapture. I am secure in my 'afterlife.'<br /><br />Do you have hope??bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02735358098367434212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944418925928626485.post-90978634806154820542011-05-17T09:14:00.000-07:002011-05-17T09:27:16.441-07:00Ramblings of a tired momWell, I feel pulled in seven different directions and I only have four kids...funny how that works. I sat at Jojo's soccer practice yesterday eating my dinner because I had to throw the kids at my husband and get to the next event. I guess that is the typical life of Americans. Go to this, then that, then the other thing. Oh but on the way get this done and stop at this store.<br /><br />Sometime I want to scream, 'stop the spinning, I want to get off.' But really I love watching my kids grow into the little (well big) people that they are. Their minds are expanding and learning. Their getting into their own groove. What they like and don't like. They are just so precious to watch. From a helpless babe to a strong thoughtful young man (or women).<br /><br />I sometime worry about the world that I brought my children into....am I the only one?? Yesterday I was sitting in the car waiting to pick my boys up from school. Happily reading my book (the only time in the day that I get the luxury). Then all of a sudden screaming and cussing and all together awefulness was coming through my open window. I stopped reading and looked in the back to my two younger kids....they were blissfully unaware of the yuckiness that was taking place outside (they were watching a movie). I sat and prayed for the women that was just so angry. Why would she use that language and what could make her so angry so fast. It is times like these that I just worry about my kids and I want to keep them home forever so that they don't have to see/hear/be part of that nastiness. But God is bigger and stronger and more powerful then me, and my kids are safer with Him. It takes LOTS of prayer for the worry and anxiety to go away. But HE is always faithful to do that.<br /><br />But there are times in my mommyhood that just makes me laugh and smile. When my older boys read to the little ones. When I see them pushing each other on the swings or wanting to all sleep in the same room. I am very blessed that I have four precious little kids. They are a joy and a blessing in my life. It is this reason I want to let the mama bear come out and start slashing those that would want to harm my kids. And by harm I mean physically (of course), but also with their words or attitudes. But I have to put the growl away and the claws down (in most cases).<br /><br />My ramblings are coming to a close.....for now. I have silly, wonderful, talented, healthy, crazy, passionate, creative, smart, curious, happy kids....what more could I really ask for???bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02735358098367434212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944418925928626485.post-52859417466354293732011-05-13T20:27:00.000-07:002011-05-13T20:34:38.289-07:00Being marriedToday is my anniversary. We have been married 11 years today. There are times that it seems that we have been married for-ev-er, but other times it really doesn't seem like we have been married all that long.<br /><br />We meet in College the first day of our freshman year. We didn't like each other at first (well not in THAT way). We were just friends. He helped me with my homework and we watched movies together. You might have noticed that I didn't help him with his, that is because he is SO smart and I am just average!! :)<br /><br />I finally decided that all men deserved to die (different story, to long to tell now....but you get the idea)......that is when God decided to show me what a real man is, that is Phil. He is sweet, funny, kind and treats me with love and respect. He holds me when I cry. He holds my hand when we are walking along. He will watch a sappy movie with me and not make fun of the way I am doomed to cry every time. He makes me laugh. He is my strong rock when times get tough. He gives me space when I just need to be alone. He is a great daddy to our crazy household of children. He is a gentle leader of our home. I could not be more proud that I am his wife.<br /><br />I hope that this is still the beginning of our marriage in comparision to when it will end....<br /><br />I am one very lucky women to have a man like him. I hope that all other women out there get as lucky as me.bethanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02735358098367434212noreply@blogger.com0
