We had a good year and enjoyed Christmas for the most part. It's always a bit hectic and lots of travels but it does get easier as the kids get older. We did our Jesse tree again and enjoy teaching the kids about Jesus' history and birth. In America, we make Christmas a big deal, and it is for so many good reasons. Praise God for the ability to have such joy and fun with our friends and family!Heather's Henhousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17848414021365639605noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257825046303108276.post-7462301127089357812015-01-13T12:35:00.002-08:002015-01-13T12:35:21.169-08:008 years old<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wendell is such a good boy, we are so blessed to have him in our family. So many complain about boys but ours is a gem. He's a soft and gentle spirit, meek and mild. He loves school, loves to learn, loves to be challenged. He likes to try new things, enjoys playing outside - even when it's freezing cold out, loves his DS/Wii/computer games, even likes to cook and read. Does not love his chores, homework, or cleaning up but he does it. He is growing into a new phase of not a little boy anymore. We can see him growing up physically, spiritually and mentally... about the same emotionally. He's also showing more signs of frustration with Harlie, and fighting and arguing is happening more. Maybe it's a phase, maybe it's part of growing up, maybe it's the weather. One thing we're working on this week/month is more chores - more organized daily cleaning - having a rhythm to our day, even at 8 years old. And learning to respect, listen, and communicate with each other.</div>

I love my kids - I love watching them as kids but I love watching them grow up. I will love being a grandma. I seriously dream of them living next door (and having underground tunnels to our house). I can't imagine how much our Heavenly Father loves us. I hope that when I die and go to heaven that I can go back in time, like in the movie <u>A Christmas Carol</u>, and watch history... of course I want the good stuff and not sad or difficult moments. I want to see what God see's but also what God see's in the future, how all works for his good and glory. I want to feel all the good feelings of being a mom to these little kiddo's.. watching them sleep, decorate the Christmas tree, making a new recipe for the first time. I love life.. and watching our kids in this life. But I also try to live for an audience of one, and that is pleasing our Heavenly Father. Some days, that's tough, but I hope he'll say 'well done good and faithful servant', some day....Heather's Henhousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17848414021365639605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257825046303108276.post-70283250374080906792014-11-13T13:50:00.000-08:002014-11-13T13:50:06.710-08:00Halloween 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every year our kids (and myself) get excited about Halloween. My favorite parts are carving pumpkins, roasting then eating the seeds, and eating lots of candy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids love to draw on their pumpkin, dress up/show off, and eat lots of candy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, I do wonder, what God thinks of Halloween. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And my bubble is popped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sadly my kids love some of the 'scary' parts so that comes with the package.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I see other Christians celebrating Halloween so I feel like it's 'okay'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to think the pro's outweigh the con's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We do and will set limits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We don't do blood and gore, evil, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A week before Halloween our pastor commented to be careful of this 'holiday'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Witches, devils, and ghosts should be taken seriously, not a joke. <i>Hmm...</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love books and imagination and do feel this is a form of these arts in live entertainment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Does this mean we Christians shouldn't enjoy a book about witches or ghosts? (kids version)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Go the next step, what about vampires or werewolf's? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What if I liked reading the Twilight series?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just want to note..sometimes I wonder if I'm choosing American over Christian.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Where do we draw the line? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For now, I guess we will continue on our path.</div>

Hope you all enjoyed Halloween, and also take a moment to wonder what does God think of this. Prayers for peace in our hearts, forgiveness and mercy where we are blind.

We visited our friend Sarah at 'the farm'. She has a huge garden and invited us out to explore. They farm so the kids got to ride the gator as well. We also went back a couple of weeks later and road the combine and tractor. I'd never been in a combine myself so it was quite fun for us city folk!</div>

Phil and I have elected to become fish eaters. For a few years it was mostly tuna from the can and salmon fillets. We've had hit and miss through the years but this round we tried scallops, and they were quite tasty (a bit expensive though).<br />

So I had beeper a couple of weekends ago and Phil had to work so we shipped the kids off to Grandma and Grandpa's. While gone I took this picture because I glimpsed our future of empty nesting. Note: two beer bottles in the back, two coffee mugs, chips and salsa, a work out watch, and the best one.. no dishes! Phil and I will sit back relax, eat out, and exercise whenever we want! Some days I can't wait but really, I know I'll miss the commotion as well!<br />

No, not that kind of <i>time</i>. In 14 years of marriage Phil and I still can find things to enjoy together. In the past eight years it's morphed from sitting around watching movies and going out to eat (which we still enjoy on occasion) into cooking our own food from scratch or exercise/races.</div>

So fun #1 - a juicing experiment </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Netflix we watched a movie called <u>Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead</u>. It's about a man who went around the country juicing and getting people to try it. Phil and I enjoy watching these kinds of odd documentaries and afterwards, according to Phil, I said we should try this. So for a month we planned out a start date, a menu, and resources. </div>

Being the main planner, I chose http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/ as he had different options for a menu. He also happened to be the same guy who did the video that we had watched. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here is our grocery list. We usually planned 3-4 days at a time. (All this for a few days!)<br />

<br />
So I journaled two thoughts as I went through this process. <br />
<br />
1.<i> I am hungry, and that is okay. </i><br />
<br />
Sadly, it has been a really long time since I felt hungry. Through this process I learned that I eat 3-4 times a day (which seems fine), I eat little bites here and there A LOT, that I'm very scheduled for meal time (with kids), and that I'm never hungry. I am pretty sure that I was over eating all the time as I rarely felt hungry at my next meal... and if I did feel hungry I would just go snack, yet eat a full meal an hour or two later. Feeling hungry made me really feel some compassion for people who are often hungry because they can't afford food and who are malnourished. Sadly I have at times judged people who buy a cell phone over feeding their kids but I see now that when you're hungry.. you don't think straight and would probably not make great decisions. A basic need is a basic need and if not met, lots of other consequences happen and you may not even see the link. <br />
<br />
2. Warning: <b>gross</b>. <i>I feel like my body is 'thinking' about having a bowel movement. </i> So the whole time I juiced I rarely had a bowel movement and it felt really odd. Like my body wanted to but it just wouldn't come out. Well, there just wasn't anything to come out. When I finally did, it was black and gooey. Kind of reminded me a babies meconium poop but not so tar<i>ish</i>.<br />
<br />
After thoughts:<br />
<br />
Wow there are a lot, actually. <br />
<br />
1. I only lasted 4 days (goal was 2 weeks). But I did about half juice and very small meals for 2 weeks.<br />
<br />
2.I lost 10 lbs.. yeah!! The lowest I've been since this journey began 7 years ago. <br />
<br />
3. I was mentally hungry but not physically hungry. It made me realize my 'addiction' to food and thoughts and habits around food.<br />
<br />
4. Some juices were really good - pears w/ sweet potato, watermelon, pineapple... even cucumber with lemon, carrot with apple/orange. Even the girls liked some of these!<br />
<br />
5. When I go to a birthday party, I do NOT have to have birthday cake and icecream. When I watch a movie I do not HAVE to eat popcorn. I do NOT have to have chocolate or a sweet every day. I do NOT have to drink coffee/caffeine every day. I don't have to eat every meal if I'm not hungry. I can save snacks for later such as a cookie or part of a meal. I can plan around treats like icecream and popcorn and incorporate them into my meal planning. It's okay to be hungry sometimes.<br />
<br />
6. When juicing with a partner, do NOT talk about the foods you'd really like to be eating such as hamburgers, scrambled eggs, icecream or cookies. These thoughts lead down a path of drooling and temptation, not allegiance.<br />
<br />

<b>Best Dam Tri in Iowa City - IOWA</b><br />
<br />
This summer, Phil says," For what it's worth, I'd like you to do another triathlon with me". <br />
<br />
So what did I do? I said, sign me up!<br />
<br />
We recruited some grandparents to take the kids and Phil and I stayed at his cousin's Saturday night. Sunday at the crack of dawn we took off to Iowa City and raced.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here we are afterwards.<br />

<br />
<br />
I did the sprint distance and made in under 2 hours which was my goal. Swam about 400 meters, biked 13 miles, and ran 3 miles. A short distance but long enough for me. I felt like I did pretty good considering I had to keep my back in check. The harder I race the more my back hurts but if I go nice and easy then it's doable. The hills were crazy but I am proud to say I did not have to get off my bike even though some people were walking up the hills faster than I was riding. Phil and I got to pass each other three times and finished about the same time (he did the Olympic distance and started about an hour before me.) I found that I CAN swim in cold water and did not have any panic attacks.. yeah!! Once I got going I did just fine. <br />
<br />
Apparently I got a 2 minute penalty. When I emailed the race director I did not get a response so I don't know why but I would guess I was drafting on the bike course. It was very hard to bike with other bikers because I would pass then they'd pass and vice versa and when going up a major hill then it was hard to pass following the rules.. or to let someone pass me (you're supposed to slow down until they pass you, but would be nearly impossible when going up a steep hill unless I stopped completely). <br />
<br />
All in all, the race was fine but not sure it's still in my blood. Since the race is done I have quit running (but still walk, bike and swim) and my back has basically quit hurting for the most part. It has hurt so much in the past few years that I said to hell with it, I'm running this spring. But if I can be pain free without ibuprofen and I can stay in shape then running might be out for me. And honestly, I never really got into it this summer when I ran. I couldn't seem to break my 36 min. 3 mile pace and that really bothered me yet my body wasn't willing to speed up. So for now, I'm walking and enjoying my 'workouts'. Ali and I go biking a lot and I've even slowed that down a lot.. I feel the call to enjoy these workouts and not hurt my back or not just drive ahead full force.. but to slow down and appreciate the scenery. Maybe some day when my back heals and the kids are older then I'll feel the need to race triathlon again... or if my husband says "for what it's worth... : ) "<br />

Lately, Wendell has been playing with the 'older' boys. Not sure how I feel about it but for now we'll just see what happens. I wish we had some 1-3 year olds in our neighborhood but we don't. Ali doesn't have anyone to play with. Harlie has two girls but would rather play with the boys. Oh well.Heather's Henhousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17848414021365639605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257825046303108276.post-33980056955281867242014-10-06T09:17:00.003-07:002014-10-06T09:17:55.110-07:00our family<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seems we're always up to something crazy and fun.. and sometimes it the simplicity of life that fills us with joy. I'm so glad that our family can fun on a dime and that we can enjoy the simple things. I fully believe there will be a day when they'll want, want, want something that costs money and hopefully I can feel ready to give them some of those things but for now.. I enjoy the simple things and they too as well.</div>

Phil's brother gave us a huge dart gun so this summer we brought it out to shoot all over the place. I was worried about loosing the darts but really, I'd rather loose a few then never use it. Wendell and the girls go through dress up phases. Here is our spider man dressed up. </div>

One of our favorite local parks is so basic (a slide, swings and shovel digger) but here is a sand creation that Wendell made. Honestly, we rarely go to the park across the street. They don't ask and I don't suggest but we like to go to other parks. Not sure if we're burned out on it or because it's so big or why but I just don't really care to go. <br />

I finally painted the tree house. Sadly it's not done all the way but 90%... sounds like everything else in my life. I get mostly done then bottom out... or in this case, ran out of paint.<br />

Phil had the idea of taking Harlie out on a date.. such a great day that he did. She requested they dress up so here they are all dolled up. We debated on where to take her - fancy or quick and he decided on Olive Garden. Harlie LOVED this so much but apparently all she said on the 'date' was.. isn't it nice that it's just us.. isn't it nice it's just us. But she had no other great things to talk about. Oh well, she loved it and I'm sure they'll do it again. On a side note, I asked Wendell if he wanted me to take him out and he was like.. uh, no mom. Ha ha, such a boy!</div>

Wendell's idea to put a tent up in his their room. Another attempt to let Ali sleep with the older two but didn't last long. But the tent stayed awhile and was kind of fun for the kids. Our house is small but really, we could have slept at least 5 kids upstairs... could have.. but didn't. <br />

So glad this phase is done. For awhile after watching shows like Ninja Warrior and Wipeout this was their idea of fun. Well after awhile it was just annoying. Every time I wanted to get from one room to another I had a kid, usually Harlie, trying to see how long they could stand in the doorway.<br />

Another idea generated from Phil. He said I need to smile more often so I printed a smile to tape to my face. Fake it 'til you make it. A phrase we use at work a lot. If you can't be 'happy' then fake it until you make it through the hard part. This phrase works for parenting as well.<br />

This is 'Heatherish'.. a teenager at heart sometimes.. how often do I get to write 'gas man' on my calendar. Makes me think of Dumb and Dumber.. which I haven't seen in forever. I wonder if I'd laugh or just think it's dumb? I'll let you know.. I'll put that on my two do list.<br />

He's a chatter box sweet heart. So nice to see him and my sister and her two other boys but for a sad reason. I had a 30 year old cousin die this summer which was the first death in our family in many many years... and definitely the first tragedy. He died suddenly in his sleep of a seizure. A very sad event.<br />
<br />
The 'lemonade' was seeing my sister, and the rest of my family.<br />
<br />
However, another reminder to me that this life is temporary and you never know what will happen to you and your family. In the past few years I've been drawn to the realization that I will die and I want to be ready. I thought the other day that death for us (to God) is probably similar to birthing a baby (to us). We wait and wait and get so excited.. 9 months seems so long and then finally that sweet little baby makes their way into this world and we are so excited to meet them and hold them and snuggle them. How must God feel when we die and 'arrive' in his world? Our God is so loving and I bet, in a way, so excited for us to die and join him. I love God, I trust God, and I'm excited to meet God but I'm still scared. This week, it occurred to me that God will prepare my heart for death as long as I am walking with him and talking with him. When my 'time' comes and if I know ahead of time then I trust that I will feel safe in God's 'womb' and be ready to join a new world. If I'm 'lucky' it will be a surprise and unplanned.. and not for a long, long time.<br />
<br />
On a side note, our church just has a teaching/service that had a great visual. They brought out a rope and the end was painted red. The rest was white. Imagine a very, very long rope that never ends. The red represents life here on earth and the white represents eternity. What do we 'earthlings' focus on? Earth... and we need to know we are made for eternity.. made for heaven, not here. And that brings me to one last thought. Do you ever feel a longing in your heart for something? Something that you can't really pinpoint? You're grumpy, you're tired, you're not happy, you're lonely, you're just sad. One unique thing to you that makes you feel 10% incomplete? Well. God made you that way. None of us will be 100% until we die and go to heaven.. no matter what you do. Let me repeat this, you will never be 100% here on earth. Kind of sad but also explains that pain in my heart... that longing. <br />

I hope if you read this, then you think about eternity a little bit more, and how you feel about your own 'birthing' into the other world.

I asked everyone to draw her a picture for her birthday as she loves to draw and receive 'letters'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should take some pictures and show them off. Some very neat ones from adults and kids. </div>

</div>
It all happened so fast this year. I'm not sure why but we left the house and poof they were gone.. it seemed surreal, almost. They both had a great first day and seemed to enjoy their day. Harlie said a few times she didn't want to go to school but now a month later she's doing just fine and no complaints (I kind of wonder if a neighbor kid said they didn't like school or something because she had never complained about school). She has Mrs. Hammer which is the same teacher Wendell had and Wendell has Mrs. Frohwein who we think is a great fit for him. He does well with calm and quiet and Harlie likes the loud and playful teachers. We have parent teacher conferences coming up next month so I'm curious to see what they say about Harlie. Riding the bus seems to be going fine, for now they have assigned seats and Wendell and Harlie sit together, kind of makes me snicker but I also wish they could sit with friends. <br />

We didn't travel much this summer, intentionally taking a break from all the traveling we do. This came from a decision in January when our church encouraged us to come up with a family mission statement. Ours has been 'Simplify to Follow'. We want to simplify our life so we can follow Jesus better. Phil read a book 'Not a Fan' (which I later read) and also 'Simplicity Parenting' (which I had already read). We both agreed to combine the idea to come up with a simpler life for our family but try to refill with Jesus. We easily feel overwhelmed with traveling so that was one cut. We have also been working on cleaning out the junk in our house but have found that it is a long process and can easily be stressful so we do a little then take a break. We also have done a few things that we feel called to do as service projects. We had a family meeting and we all came up with ideas of how to serve other people... ideas from coloring, making cookies, to picking up trash and prayer walking. Honestly, we haven't done much as we easily forgot this summer. Something that Phil and I are talking about again. The year isn't over.. there is more simplifying and following to do. <br />
<br />
Back to camping.. we had a nice weekend with family and were blessed with staying at a cabin instead of tent camping. We truly had a great time with family. Corny me had a 'church' service on Sunday and although it flopped I did have a great discussion with my grandma and aunt. It was hard to put myself out there but was glad I did. Thanks to my Grandma and Grandpa Elliott for providing lodging, a meal, and for the family they had created!<br />

A great school year for the kids. We really have enjoyed having our kids at this school. Phil and I are feeling called to 'stay' unless a problem arises. So for now, if this is God's plan, we will be raising our kids on the 'wrong side of the tracks'. But for now... we feel like God has a plan and are excited to be salt in light in world of darkness. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Let us all, let our little light shine, in this world.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Somewhere, somehow.</b></div>

Is this a foreigner in my car? No, my mother, 'freezing' from the 68 degree weather we had last week. In her defense, turns out she had a fever from a cold. Sad goodbye as she goes back to Florida.<br />

Ridiculous: the price of these extra long pegs online. This is a 'classic' or 'vintage' light bright and it works MUCH better than the newer cube version. But finding pegs is difficult. We lucked out and got some at Goodwill for $3. A bargain! Next challenge will be finding new papers.<br />

Classic: picture of kids sleeping. Did I tell you that our kids all sleep in the same room? There is a slang term for this that I won't use. The kids love it and it has worked well for the most part. Glad that we haven't put raising our kids in a box of American expectations. We are happy to have them all together and loving it. It has allowed to have a play room upstairs. This picture is a panoramic so it's a bit messed up. And yes, I did turn the light on to take the picture.<br />

Do you like green food? Not really but this actually tastes REALLY good. It is potato spinach soup. Basically make potato soup but put lots of spinach in with it then blend. It tastes like potato soup and is very good. Now we just need to get past the 'greenness' of it. A great way to use up the 'borderline' spinach.<br />

This was my newest 'clever' idea. I got Ali a potatoe head for her birthday just so we can use the pieces for playdough. On a side note, I highly recommend making your own playdough. It's super fun to play with warm, it's cheap, smells better, you have a lot more to play with, and it's stores well.<br />

I am so excited for summer... letting the kids stay up late, sleeping in, not getting dressed right away, eating when we're hungry not because we have to get going, playing outside, jumping in the sprinkler ... on and on I could go.
