We decided to take the move to East Texas. Right now we are working on getting this house ready to go on market. I have been painting nonstop since we pulled into town Monday at 3:30pm. The exterior is done. The ranch no longer has royal blue trim, it is now stylish. And the inside is just almost done! We will have it finished all on friday and outta here!!!LOL! If i had a camera that worked, i would get pictures up! But, since not for now...
We just want this one to sell quickly!!!
We have found 11 acres and a little farm house that we would like to purchase back east (lol) but will have to wait until this one is sold! SO everybody start praying!
So I am off to finish painting the trim, and finish up the master bath!
Oh and I miss my Tucker John! He is at his Aunt Mandy's for the week, and loving every minute of it. I love that we are going to be so so much closer that he can go see his Aunt Mandy and Uncle Jason, and Uncle Jason and Aunt Kristen, and Granmommy, Memee, Grandaddy, and GDaddy any time!!!
What a sweet life i live!
love you guys!

God bless my little Baby Kate!
For all of you who know me, know that I have been in love with a little Boston Terrier for the last 8 years. My friend Blake and I found her in a Lubbock pet store, as she was not only the runt of her litter but the only girl. She was whooping her brothers butts and taking names. I took her home, i took her to church, i took her to our Campus Crusade meetings at Tech.
About a week after i had her, she started having epileptic seizures. I thought I was going to lose her then, however, the vet told me that i could put her down, take her back to the pet store or keep her and she would have to be on meds for a while. Well, I kept her, how could i have not, and we loved each other intensely. She was always with me and loved to ride in my lap to and from Paris/Dallas and Lubbock. Actually everywhere we went, she was in my lap.
She slept with me for the most part of the last 8 years, moved with me and RW to Oklahoma, Ft Worth, California and back to Texas. She was precious to me. She would dance for treats, clean her paws before she fell asleep at night, and loved to rub her nose on the couch.
I love my Kate Bug!
Well, Kate went to be with our Lord yesterday. We are in Denton at my sisters, and had to come to Paris by Friday so that we could attend a funeral of a very dear family friend of ours. We had thought about bringing my little Kate with us, but knew we would be back to Amarillo shortly. Just a weekend trip, and we had left her many times before with Duke and Ginger, our other two pooches in the back yard. RW's brother had to come out to our house yesterday, and found Kate deceased in the back yard. He was going to bury her for us, and called to let us know.
I am in shock, and really sad. She was MY first doggie, and as much as I love Ginger and Duke, I think I am ready to be out of the dog business due to this loss.
If anyone of you or anyone you know would be interested in a Boston Terrier free to a loving home, Duke is a precious and beautiful Boston. He is just not very well potty trained, so he has been outside for the last year. However, he has a great disposition, and loves everybody especially kids & he is 6 years old.
Ginger is a mix breed of Catahoula and Blue Heeler. She is free to a good and loving home as well. She has not been fixed, and is about a year old.
Anyways, if anyone knows of anyone please let me know.
Please pray that our getting home and knowing that Kate is no longer there will not be as hard as i think it may be.
I love you guys. I am so thankful for the time i had with her sweet little personality.
May God Bless her little soul!

We love our land, but...
It is a booger and greatly exhausting to mow 3 acres of it. Even on my ole John Deere. So that is what is on the agenda for me with shuffling and checking on kiddos in between rows. Then errands, then lunch, then nap time, and then it is time to get the house straightened up to get ready for dinner and daddy coming home. Whew!!! I am already tired. I would love to go crawl back in right now, but that is simply out of the question. So I guess i need to be heating up the coffee pot, cause it is going to be a long day!
I pray that you guys all have a blessed and busy day as well!
love,
Amy

Good Morning
I was on here looking around at other blogs, and found a cool little additive at http://easy-hit-counters.com/. This way you can see just how many people take a look at your blogspot.
Today is Friday! Thank the Lord! You know He loves fridays too!
I am off to craft. I am in the middle of making soldered pendant beaded necklaces and bracelets. It is lots of fun, however soldering is not the easiest craft to pick up.
I need to get at least a few done this morning to go place in my booth at the local craft mall. Then, I need to reprice some items, and "redecorate" with the items that are still there. I really thought that this craft mall thing would be lots of fun. Which i guess in a sense it is pretty good preparation for when I choose to open the doors to my shop.
That is my personal goal for the end of this year, to have all ready to go to open up at least a website if not also a store front of my own by the first quarter of next year. We will see.
So, I better get working on my chunky jewelry for now. As soon as I can get my silly digital camera a going i will be putting pics on here to share with you of my lovey wrangler minis and my chunky cowgirl jewelry.
Until then...
love,
Amy

how cute is this blog site!?!
My sister is the best!
I want to know why we sit here though and write to ourselves? Is this like hidden therapy or something???
Anyways, we are already having a day at the Chisum household. So I am off to clean and relieve some tension.
I pray anyone who reads this is having a fabulous, tension free day!

I love my husband. I simply adore him, and all that he provides for our family. He asks that I keep the house clean, and make sure he has clean socks and underwear. How hard can that be!?!
I have just about accomplished keeping a schedule on the house cleaning and the laundry. However, my marriage has been consistently perplexing over the last month.
You see my husband and I have joined a church that WE BOTH LOVE. I say that in bold face because this is the first time that we have both greatly, greatly enjoyed a church and are walking in our faith together... at the same time, within our relationship. We have had a great time together all along, but where we were at in our christianity was a bit questionable. Well, now we have got all that together and are both loving every minute of our relationship with our Father.
HOWEVER, it never fails that we get through our "in the moment trial" and then here comes another one. We both know that it is obviously Satan himself trying to yank us backwards again. WHICH IS JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO HE NEEDS TO GO ABOUT HIS WAY FROM US!
But man alive! I have always thought that all of our moves across the country were what would bring us closer together, and as that has added it's fair share of strength to our relationship... we now know that getting through the devil's trickery that he plays on marriages when things are so good, and continuing to praise our Lord in Heaven for EVERYTHING that is insurpassable without Him will be challenging BUT forever worth it!
I am so in love with my husband. Satan can just move on over, because he can not have him or me or my kiddos. None of us are for bartering so he can just go on from here. I am tired of challenges and so ready to see the other side of marriage.
And, yes, July 27th is our fifth year wedding anniversary.

Stay at home mommy-hood
I do love being a stay at home mom. I had a month, really two, that i went back to work to a job that was a blessing. However, my sick little cowboys did not embrace the daycare experience so here we are again... at the "ranch" together... happily.
HOWEVER, as much as I adore my buckaroos, greatly appreciate the fact that I can stay home and raise them, and am so very thankful for my beautiful home....
I AM READY FOR A VACATION!!!
I need to get out of here, and take a break. It really would do all of us some good.
I will take my husband with me, because i have been blessed with him as my bestfriend. And, honestly, I would rather he be with me all the time. That is if we could go without having the occassional urge to strangle each other. But, i think in more ways than one we have somewhat eliminated any obvious reasons for wanting to act on that kind of behavior. So, i think now it is time to let the good times roll, and get the heck out of dodge!
Until then, I need to go do some work on skirts for my booth, and hopefully soon to be a website by my beautiful, talented, and smart sister.
I hope this rambling nonsense finds you to be having a super blessed day!

Californian Born West Texas Cowboy
Well, let's see this will be my first blog. My sister always gets into these things, and then wants me to check it out until i am convinced i should get involved as well. So, here it goes...
Tucker John and Tanner Robert were both born in California. However, you would never know it if you heard Tucker John's accent. He has got the funniest West Texas accent, and I just love it!
When I met my husband, RW (that's right! West Texas through and through) he had the thickest West Texas accent. You see I am from East Texas, and yes, there is a difference... a pretty distinctive difference if you are from around here. Now our two littlest cowboys have picked up the local lingo, and it is just so sweetly affectious that I melt anytime i notice their little twangs.
Tanner Robert, our littlest buckaroo's favorite song is E-I-E-I-O. Granted he is only 16 months old, he sings his E-I-E-I-O for everything... even sometimes as he is crying!!! Too, too sweet.
Anyways, so i was just talking to my sister, as we were setting up this, my new blogging (not clogging, though it sort of feels like that) site, and we were discussing how funny things are that my little man, Tucker John (3)says.
I will soon be posting pictures so that I can share just how cute my main cowboy, and our two little buckaroos are, and really getting into the swing of things here, however blog back and we will see where this thing really goes.
