Hello everyone! Long time-no-blog!! I really wish I had the internet at home, but with next to no money, paying for internet is about last on our list. I had a great birthday! Thank you wonderful sisters and mom!! I got to get slushies at Zumo's, go window shopping, get a full-body one-hour massage (probably the best part!), get a new hair cut (which turned out really cute), and got to eat dinner at Ya Ya's (which was pretty fancy) -- all paid for, not a penny out of my pocket!!! wooo hoo!!!! then I had ice cream cake at home, and played some games with my family. It was great. We had a wonderful christmas as well. I missed my family all over the U.S. (crazy people in Alaska, Idaho, Minnesota, and Illinois..what are you thinking??), but I really enjoyed being with our extended family here in Kansas. M got lots of good stuff, and so did J and I. I would give pictures, but my pictures are on my computer and I'm on grandma's computer, so...once again no pictures.

M is getting very big! She talks a lot now, even though a lot of it is gibberish. This is all she can do now:

she says a lot of animal sounds, the best one being a rooster -- Doo doo! ; She likes to pretend with her toys, sharing drinks with her dolls and animals; she can label all the parts of your face (eyes, ears, nose, etc.) as well as hands, feet, hair etc.;
she is very close to doing the itsy bitsy spider, loves the alphabet, and sings with the theme song to veggie tales;
she likes dancing to music, which includes stomping her feet and wiggling; sometimes she spins in circles;
she makes a really cute sad face (she sticks out her bottom lip and frowns);
sometimes she runs up to our dogs or cat and roughs them up saying "not nice, not nice"....apparently we need to work on what 'not nice' means, obviously she cought on what she was doing is "not nice" but she doesn't realize it's bad!
All in all she is great...almost all of the time. And we love her!

hopefullly I can get to blogging again soon.

Yay for blogging. :) I'm glad you found a way! And I'm glad you liked your birthday gift (day). I miss you like crazy glue! Give Kenzie lovins from me, K? Just keep saying Erin loves you, Erin loves you. Maybe when I see her again she will hear Erin and instantly LOVE me! (I mean that happens all the time ... but just for good measure ... chant the phrase for me, K?)

No, no, no. Say, "Megan loves you...Megan loves you...Megan loves you...She'll give you candy and present...Megan loves you."

That would be better. Loved the Kenzie update! Love you all!

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...
