Butterfly and Wasp

Ms. Burrito used the net that we bought at the store a couple of weeks ago.  She caught one big butterfly.  Don't worry she let it go after  a while.

She just want to see how  butterfly  sucks the nectar.  She picked a dandelion flower and put it in the container together with the butterfly then after she saw how, she let the  butterfly go.

Mr. Burrito on the other hand  got stung by a wasp.  This is the second time he got stung by those beast. I feel bad as it hurts, I know.

It got swollen but after he let the cold pack stay in his palm for a while, it  swelled down.

I hate those wasp.  Hubby already sprayed their house but they kept coming back every year. I wonder if potassium perchlorate will kill them?  Weird thinking eh?  Well, I'm just thinking of ways to kill these  beasts because it seems that the wasp spray doesn't really work.  Anyhow, you guys have a good day!

If you are looking for different selection of mailboxes, check out the different kinds of commercial and residential mailboxes at MailBoxPoint.  They pretty much carry the high end brands such as Blomus, Dahlhaus, Ecco, and Salsbury Industries.  Their mail boxes  includes single unit, multi unit, and slots and mail drops kinds.  They also sell signage and different kinds of decors for a very  reasonable price.

You don't have to worry if you have an issue with the mailbox you bought because they  offer a 30-days no hassle return policy and not to mention that their shipping is free of charge.  You can't beat that kind of deal.  Since I wasn't looking for a mailbox, this Dahlhaus wall mounted newspaper holder caught my attention.  A pretty accent to your wall which would add glamor to the look of your house.  Want to know how much it cost? Visit the site and see for yourself hehehe.  It's very pretty isn't it?

Candy Land

We bought this Candy Land game when it went on sale last December for $5. I just now have it put out for us to play and it's a good one for the whole family to play. It needs four players so all of us has its own.

Ms. Burrito is getting so addicted to it that he wants us to play every time she gets lol.

She even asked her teacher if she could bring it to show to her classmates but we told her to just wait until their next show and tell so as not to disrupt their classes.

Thanks for visiting  guys.  We are a little busy right now so I can't visit back yet.  I hope and wish that everyone is having a good day.

Car Maintenance

My husband is off from school for a month starting yesterday so he has been busy  doing stuff at home.  He cleaned our car yesterday and went to  the store to buy a new battery for the truck.  Talking about expenses, it is painful on the budget especially that the gas keeps hiking up its prices.  To fill our tank with gas, it costs us 52-54 dollars now.  Three  cents more and the gas is $4 a gallon already and it's not even summer yet, whew!

Anyway, this morning he got p early, hook up the fan  at our attic and now he is installing the new battery in the truck.  He is also planning to  have the air filters of both the car and the truck replaced.  Being a car owner is great because you get to go wherever you want but the expenses that comes with it  is constant.   The key is to find a place where you can buy the car parts for less price.  Car ID is one of the online store where you can buy different kinds of  vehicle parts and other car accessories.  They carry just about any kind of brands and kinds of car accessories so if you ever need any car parts, check them out first.

Cherry Tree Blooms

The cherry tree at the back of my father-in-law's house has bloomed already. I took these shots last Sunday during our Easter gathering.

The birds love this tree during summer time when the fruits are riping already.

Splash of Orange

Both daughter and husband were off from school yesterday so we went to Starvaggi Park to lessen up the stress we have about Dave's surgery.  The splash of Orange colors in the park gave us  hope about the family's ordeal.

I realized yesterday how time flies and how life  is short sometimes for some people.  So it is always great to enjoy every  bit of it.  

Last year, my daughter  wasn't able to use this orange skort because it was way too big for her but yesterday I realized that she is growing up fast!  Soon she would be bigger than me.  

I have tasks to write yesterday but I  set it aside and went to the park instead.  Family is what we should always prioritize.

Today, my daughter came home from school with a certificate from her teacher.  She won their spelling  exercise and she is very proud about it, WE are too! I am so proud of her progress in school, she knows how to read very well now, can add and subtract,  and she is also getting so good with spelling.  I can still remember when I was still teaching her how to write her name, read the alphabet, and do some math problem.  We did not enroll her in pre-school so my husband and were basically her reading and   writing tutors.  

I am so glad and thankful that I got to be her first teacher.  Being a stay-at-home-mom is a blessing and I am very thankful about it.  I also would like to thank all of you who include my brother-in-law in your prayers.  His surgery went well but he is still in a lot of pain and under observation in the hospital.  In behalf of the  Cottrill clan, thank you all so much!

Prayer Request

This is a sticky post, please scroll down for new postings.

My brother -in-law was recently diagnosed with a stomach cancer. I am not very particular of what kind is it,  but my SIL said it is a very rare form of cancer. I am asking your help to please pray for my BIL. He will have a surgery this coming Monday at UPMC.  We are all praying and hoping that it will be for the better.  The surgery will involve removing his stomach which means that he won't have one after the surgery. It is the only way to cut the tumor that is growing inside. I am not sure how he could normally function after the surgery but I do trust the surgeons.

Above was taken last Christmas, we did not know that time that he has the growing tumor in his stomach.  We feel like, we are running out of time so we make sure to visit him  oftentimes now.  My sister-in-law told me that she is mad and in denial to why this thing is happening to them.

Below was taken the other day.  We've visited him again and I was shocked to see him  very skinny already.  He lost a lot of weight already as he couldn't eat.

Please pray for him and for all the people who are sick and in need of the divine healing.  His Mom died of the same cancer, their Aunt died of cancer too a couple of years ago, we are hoping and praying that Dave will come through this battle.  Thank you for your prayers!

Walking to Stick with my Healthier Me Resolution

Guest post written by Renee Spriggs

I'm so excited that for a while now I've been sticking to all of the resolutions that I've made for myself. But I've stuck the hardest to my resolution to get and stay fit this year. But I haven't been making it to the gym as much as I did at the beginning of the year. It's just way too tempting to head home after work instead of going to the gym. But I'm trying to come up with some stuff that I can do at home to work out on days like that.

I went online to get some ideas about what I could reasonably do at home without buying any new equipment. While I was looking online to get some ideas for that I found the site wildbluedeals.com. I looked through it a little bit and after that I decided to sign up for a new internet package after reading that.

I live in a pretty good neighborhood with sidewalks, so I found this fitness walking plan that I'll do on the days I don't go to the gym.

Easter Celebration

Hello Everyone! How's your Easter celebration. Ours wasn't as fun as last year. We are all worried about my brother-in-law's surgery tomorrow. We went to church at noon, said  prayers for  Dave, and proceeded at my FIL afterwards. Wasn't able to take lots photos. I am not really good in handling this kind of stressful situation.

Nevertheless I took some shots before Dave and Michaele left.  You can tell in the photo how worried Dave is, I think he is scared about tomorrow's event.

We  are praying for you Dave!

Anyhow, we bought the kids some Easter treat.  They were so happy when they woke up as "Easter Bunny" left them  each a basket full of goodies.  

Just some of those goodies they got this Easter.

Please include  my BIL in your prayer guys.  Thanks a bunch!

Enclume Pot Racks

I have two sets of pots and pans in my kitchen. When we first bought this house, we bought an 18-piece of circulon non-stick. Then when we had to transfer to Korea, the husband decided to buy another set so we will have a new set to use over there. We bought a Kenmore which is made of stainless. When we came back here, it's hard stacking 'em up as I have a small cabinet to put all of them.  I'd like to have one of those enclume pot racks to organized my cooking stuff.  I could hang it on top of our   sink or beside the microwave, it would be nice to have.

This enclume pot rack is what I really desire to have, unfortunately, the price is not  within my budget so I can only wish hehehe.  Hanging pot rack is great one to have especially if you have an island in your kitchen..  It's  one  great way to organize  pots and pans.  Would you like to see  selections enclume potracks, just visit any of the links provided above.  This website has a  huge selection of different kinds and design.  They also have other kitchen accessories so if you have time, please check it out.

Backyard Friends

We dropped by at my SIL Cris the other day because my daughter wanted to know the recipe for making paper mache for the craft she want us to do.  Chris and her grand daughter Grace were in the backyard so we went cruising there. 

Saw the  shadow of the tree and the Mr. Burrito and  Fat Boy came walking by so it's perfect for shadowy shots!

 Little Gracie is such a happy little camper.  She is always  willing to give everyone a smile and a hug!

 Here is the project that my daughter  did.

 She wanted to attach this two together so we use paper mache in the middle.

 It's a paper plate craft that represents her and her brother.

Have a  fabulous Easter everyone!
