WOO HOO VACATION

I'm goin to Idaho, I'm goin to Idaho....da da da, la la la....
I'm so excited. J, M and I are all leaving on Saturday morning to fly to Idaho! not to mention my sister Erin will also be arriving that day! And who will be there to greet us? Mom and Emily!!! YAY!!! (although I will sadly note Megan and my neices, and of course Jason, will not be there)
I love my family! I'm pretty sure they know that... but just in case - I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I miss everyone so much because we all live so far apart. It's a very sad story. But every once in a while we get to get together and it's worth the world to me! AHHH!!! I want to scream I'm so excited. I am stressing myself out though, trying to get everything in order and ready. J tries to be helpful, but mostly he's only good for taking care of his stuff ( he kinda just gets in the way of everything else, but I appreciate the effort.) It is incredible how much harder it is to just get one baby packed, much less myself. It is even more amazing how much stuff one baby needs - fortunatley Emily has a lot of friends with babies, so it cuts down my load some - no high chair needed, no extra toys or entertainment to bring, she even offered baby food (which of course M refuses to eat now)- but still...babies! goodness!!

Today, while trying to get everything ready, M still needs all her attention. So she was fussing that I was neglecting that fact, until I had no choice but to sit down with her. At some point I decided to sing the ABC's to her. I don't sing it often enough, so she made me make it up to her today. After I finished my first round, she sat and smiled a minute, and then made the hand sign for 'more'. So I sing it again. 'more' she says. So I sing it again. 'more'. again. 'more'. again. finally I told her "there is no more, it ends with Z." Thank goodness she was content to stare at the fish for awhile.

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey.  As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog.  I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts.  So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho.   We spent 5 great years in Colorado!  The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making).  We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder.  We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)!  I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado.  W...
