the cox family is sick!

Ryan's symptoms are-- stuffed nose, cough, sore throat

I have a head cold.

Maddie is coughing and has a runny nose

Kenzie has a runny nose, cough, and complaining of ear pain.

So, needless to say, we are sick and won't be going anywhere we don't have to until we are better. We miss all of our CICers. We will be back just as soon as we get over this yucky stuff. Don't want to get any of you sick.

On to other things, yesterday I played with the oven until I could get it to work. I think Pop might be right about needing to get the pilot light thing serviced, but the question is, who do I call? I know the ghost buster's can't fix it, so any suggestions? After playing with it, I was able to bake a cake for Kenzie's birthday and she has been wanting me to use the pan Amanda gave me that has these disks you put in and it imprints the design on the top of the cake, so she has a cake that says in bubble letters "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" it is cute. I also baked some fries in the oven. I really missed not having one. It was not a fun time. Kenzie is off to school, so I am going to warm up. It is really cold in the basement! Have a great day!

Using 1 tbsp of mixture, roll into balls. Freeze to enjoy later. Hope you enjoy it!

The importance of connections

Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways. Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
