Our Family Life: July 2012
http://thestrains.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The things they do. Monday, July 30, 2012. Just a taste of July. I'm just going to give a. Synopsis of our July - still trying to get up the strength to write about Brenda and her passing. It might take me a while. I still cant believe she's gone, even after the Funeral. My kids were champs that day, and guess what? Donavon had to work late. Awesome. After 2 days I felt much better and thought things were on the up and up and then I woke up in the middle of the night sick again. This whole we...My sister...

Our Family Life: November 2012
http://thestrains.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The things they do. Monday, November 19, 2012. I really should be preparing for everything going on this week but I think its more important that I stop and share something with all of you. Tragedy has struck again. If you watch the news at all you should have heard about a terrible accident involving a parade float and a train in Midland, Texas last week. It has been all over National News. He immediately sat up and said "but I was just on Facebook I didn't see anything". So please, this week as you are...

Our Family Life: June 2012
http://thestrains.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
The things they do. Friday, June 29, 2012. Katie had her 15 month check on the 18th. She's still a teeny tiny thing and rocking her 6 month jammies this morning. Thats one thing I cant complain about, both my kids have fully worn out their baby clothes. There just might not be much that I can use in the future. We definitely get our moneys worth in clothes! She had just barely moved into 6 month clothing around that time. So if I have another baby. playing by the small kid rule. She's never liked to be r...

Our Family Life: The Fam
http://thestrains.blogspot.com/p/fam.html
The things they do. Eleasa aka "Mommy" - There is no sugar coating it, I am what I am and I'm not ashamed. I'm real, I'll never pretend to be somebody I'm not, I'll tell you what I think, and I don't try to hard because I could careless what you think! Whenever I have down time I enjoy writing, sewing, crafting and reading, but I have to be careful, I have an addict personality and I'm a perfectionist. Its such a bummer not already knowing how to walk! Katie, Katie, Momma's pretty little lady! Diesel aka...

Our Family Life: September 2012
http://thestrains.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
The things they do. Saturday, September 8, 2012. Issac was just old enough this year to start playing PeeWee Soccer. I wasn't really going to sign him up but a bunch of his friends were doing it so I thought eh why not? Now that we are in the thick of it I'm not totally convinced I'll sign him up next year. I'll be honest, he did much better at Tball, and I enjoyed Tball much more. Soccer isn't as fun or exciting for him, or me. My ADD kicks in with Soccer! They piece of jerks! We couldn't help but roll ...

Our Family Life: February 2012
http://thestrains.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The things they do. Friday, February 24, 2012. Still not feeling it. I thought my last little burst of posts would get me "in the mood" for blogging but it didn't. Not one bit. To be honest I never even look at other blogs - maybe once a month, and I don't even look at many. I cant quite put my finger on it, why am I so "done" with blogging? Truth is I absolutely LOVE that its a journal for me and I know I'll cherish it in 20 years. So WHY am I so blogger bummed? So what to do? He realized I was up here ...

Our Family Life: May 2013
http://thestrains.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
The things they do. Monday, May 20, 2013. By the time September rolls around I'm itching to decorate for fall. Then it seems like 4 weeks later I'm ripping it down and itching to get Christmas out. This year we started a new tradition. Elf on the Shelf. I thought this might help keep someone in line. No names mentioned. Meet Fred. That's what Issac named him. And we did a ginger bread house this year. Issac had so much fun. Katie just wanted to eat it. Surprised? Posted by Momma Strain. We ended up havin...

Our Family Life: January 2012
http://thestrains.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The things they do. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. I've been going through all my old posts and adding tags to them so I can find them easier, and I guess you too. I found a post "I almost forgot! And it was Issac's Santa pictures from way long ago and it reminded me that I ALMOST FORGOT! We DID go see Santa this year. You'll never believe it. Issac didnt cry at all! He didnt even get scared! Well at the end he kind of freaked her out and she was done, but thats pretty typical with a stanger for her. I calle...
