A New BLOG , YAY

so, this isn't a very interesting blog, but it's been forever since there's been one at all. We turned off our AT&T internet and phone, because they are ridiculous and charged as about $100 a month more than we were supposed to be charged...hey, we're poor and that's just wrong!! Anyhow, that's why I have no internet and no blogging. We're trying to kick the moving thing into gear...we can move into our new trailer any time now...if I could just make myself pack. School's going alright...I though I did terrible on my last math test, but ended up getting a 95%...so, i'm satisfied. I'm at the school library right now using their internet...I was studying for my Biology test, but information stopped actually entering my brain, it was just going in one ear and out the other (so to speak). M is being wonderful as always, she's talking more and can mimick words pretty well when she feels like it. She throws fits every once in awhile which is actually very amusing to me! She gets mad and sorta runs/waddles away from me, yelling, and then stops, usually hits the floor a couple times with her hands, or stops at a wall or piece of furniture, hits it, and then looks back at me angrily...It looks really funny. Then she's done. She's growing up way too fast for me...I'm starting to want another one. ::gasp:: But, I can't quite convince myself to try yet. Halloween is coming up and the Fall Family Festival held at my aunt and uncle May's house -- it's awesome and I can't wait!! I don't know what J and I are going to be though...M is gonna me a pumpkin. Then there's Christmas, which I love, but I am so poor that gift giving has kinda lost it's fun. Actually gift-giving is still excellent, it's the gift buying that isn't fun. That's all that's happening around here. C-ya.

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...
