The Shepherds: March 2013

Quotable Quote

" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

Mmm Mmm Good!

I made a tamale pie recipe the other day. Allrecipes.com is such a great place to find recipes. You can find this recipe by clicking here. It was good but I would add 2 more Tb of butter to the corn mix. It was too dry. Also add salsa and sour cream on top!

Ryan decided to get fancy and make a peanut butter chocolate cake. It was even vanilla and chocolate checkered inside with yummy peanut butter cream!!! Love that husband of mine!

And just so you know....I hate when people take pictures of their food and blog about it so I am at an all time low! :-)

Sheeps and Ships

More rag quilt fun. I made the sheep quilt and then decided to donate it to a woman that has 18 children (17 of which are adopted) and she is in the process of trying to bring 3 more home. She was having an online auction so I donated it to her to auction off.

This quilt I made for a friend that is having a boy in April.

Cleaning House

I decided I need to tackle my house one space at a time. The pantry was my first victim. It's sad to admit how many more victims remain.

Amateur Sledding

I say amateur because we are hoping to go to Soldier Hollow and get in some real good sledding sometime soon, but for now the hill at the park will have to do.
