Some spring flowers! These cupcakes were fun to create! I LOVE fresh flowers and was SO delighted and surprised when Daryl and the kids presented me with fresh flowers to plant in our mini-flower garden out front, as an early Mother's Day Gift! These "fresh flowers" above, are not quite what we planted outside, but they are "fresh" and these just happen to be edible!!! :)


F.R.O.G.!!!!!!!!!! Facing My Fears, with these critters?
My dislike of Frogs began a long time ago. My dearest Daddy loves to walk outdoors while he's talking to God in prayer. One early spring day when I was small, and my Mother was expecting my baby sister, Heather Dickinson, Daddy took us out to let us "hear" that Spring was soon to be here. I had no idea what was coming, so wasn't prepared for the LOUD Croaking of that bull frog that night. I screamed and jumped over the seat into the front, landing on my poor mother's swollen abdomen and my growing sister! Needless to say, I've NEVER really appreciated frogs ever since.
Our wonderful Jr Church leaders at our church are using with a wonderful theme... only sad for me it had to include frogs. It's an acronym that teaches the kids to Fully Rely On God! What a wonderful lesson that I'm trying in my every day life to learn more. After visiting the Jr/Ch area, I cringed and could hardly walk in there, for there are frogs EVERYWHERE. My dislike of frogs is SO intense that I don't even look at pictures of them!!!
Well, one week they were talkin about things that make you afraid! So after seeing these Darling, (well, I can't call them that) Froggy Cupcakes, I decided to "face my fears" and make a treat for the kids that they would enjoy and that would go along with their theme.
I DIDN'T make these alone, our kids helped me, LOTS! As I'm blogging this, I'm asking myself, "Am I FULLY relying upon God?" Do I really believe that He can and WILL supply our every need? I'm asking the Lord to help me with my everyday fears, my heart needs, and for the wisdom I need to be a godly Momma.
I may always not care for frogs, sorry Daddy, but I'm determined to remember what it stands for and that is FULLY RELYING ON GOD!
This shirt was given to Bryan sometime ago and he could HARDLY wait till he was big enough to wear it... just so happened that the day we were making these cupcakes he was wearing this shirt and thought he was pretty cool stuff! :)
Western Dress-up Day! And the last day of Kindergarten for Bryan! He is officially a 1st grader now! Darla is very close to completing her school work too! And this Mommy is about to shout... Praise the Lord! I will have a few more days of getting things squared away. Natasha and Brittany need to finish their work, but they are all pulling full-steam ahead and that always helps! Spring Fever, has definitely hit our Haus! Praying we'll have enough WILL-POWER to fight the urge to be OUTSIDE! :) Thanks to the Lord for His wonderful help this another year and the privilege that He gives us to Home-school our kids!

So glad that we got to see Vonnie, my dear sister-in-law and my dear nieces from Alaska. They were out doing what every parent dreads... "looking for colleges"! We are praying with you girls in your major decisions to be made here soon. God cares and WILL lead you, just keep your hearts open to his clear direction! Love you so much! Hausman Cuzin's

Just enjoying our kids! Thanks, Pop-Pop and Grandma for the Easter gifts to our kids. We were able to use the cash and purchase some needed clothing that was on the after Easter sale racks!
