Back to Life.

We had a nice long weekend this weekend. Lots of time to spend together, and I think we really needed it...it seems like there's been a lot going on lately and not a lot of together relaxin' time. Then we cleaned. yay. We've gotten really behind lately...just feeling lazy I guess. Getting things sorted out in our heads not in our home, apparently. And now we have to start the packing thing, cause soon enough we're moving into our new home, the May's old trailor. I'm pretty excited to have all that space, but I so do not want to pack again...what is it, every six months I move??? okay not quite, but it feels like it. I feel for Megan, and am so glad I don't have that far to go, and I only have one kid to keep track of...and about 1/4 the amount of stuff I'm sure she's got.

umm ... yeah ... packing sucks no matter how much stuff you have. Just throw it all away and start over. You'll thank me later. Well ... except for all that cool stuff Kenzie got in Idaho. :) Keep that.

Thanks, dude. Nice to know you have some empathy...funny how that doesn't help make my boxes disappear.

How about you come up here and I trade you some tooth extractions for some moving help?

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?

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...

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...
