I'm back..

sorry it's been awhile. My vacation in Minnesota was great. It was fun seeing everyone. Now I'm home...I've had issue's with school that I'm rather upset about. I'm down to only 2 classes now - Speach and Math. I don't want to explain the story (it's frustrating and complicated).
Funny story about M though. We were visiting Grandma Gauthier (not to be confused with Grandma Jo) and M kept getting into candy left over from easter. WE let her have a couple of pieces, but soon called it quits. After both of us telling her no a few times we were getting tired of the candy and so put it up. M found one more piece, which J took away saying "no more, we're going to eat dinner soon." He handed me the candy to get it out of sight and mind of M. I looked at it and it was sour lemon head. Thinking she would hate it and would give up on candy for the night, I told her "okay, M, one last piece, come here." She got all excited and smiley and came to me. J picked her up into his lap as I opened the candy. Just before I let her have a lick she turns to J and says, with a rather 'ha, i win' tone..."Daddy say no, no!" grinning from ear to ear, knowing that she got her way even though dad said no more...and mom said yes. I couldn't believe it! She's growing up and catching on.....oh no. (oh, and she liked the lemon head! crazy kid!!)

That's what you get for trying to trick her. You know the girls in this family are too clever for that.

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...
