oh, yeah...I was tagged!

6 things that make me the most happy:

1. My little Mack. Of course. Right now she is clomping her feet and spinning circles to show Charlotte how to dance: "just like that." Earlier our duck made her cry...not because he bit her but because he hurt her feelings when he did...wish you could have seen it: "Momma, he bit me!"

2. John. There is no better husband, I don't care which of you thinks yours is better. We are GREAT at arguing as I'm sure everyone who has spent more that 10 minutes with us knows, but we are perfect for eachother. And he takes care of me every day in so many ways...I definately couldn't say enough...except to him: I'm sorry...I'm not so great to you.

3. There's a bubbling in my tummy, and already I couldn't love it more...until it comes out wailing. The miracle is amazing just while he/she beats me up from the inside out...just a couple more months, baby.

4. My family. And I mean all of you. My mother, because she raised me better than any kid I know. My sisters because they love me more than I knew. And everyone else: Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas, Granpas, cousins....everyone. Because without you I would not be me, and without you I might not have surived life being me.

5. Sitting with the lights off, with a fire in the fireplace, with no one around. Or with the christmas tree lit, and all the lights off. Or with all the lights off, and just the moon and snow lighting the world. In general having the lights off is good!

6. Socks. That's it. I love socks. hmmm... and my dog. I know that makes seven.

Oh, yeah...My dog ran away while I was gone in Idaho, and was gone for almost 3 days, and with joint efforts of my family we finally found her on the 4th day. I have to admit I had kind of given up and was horribly sad, but now she is home and I am extremely happy. Stinkin dog climbed out of a 6 ft kennel during a thunderstorm (because of course the thunderstorm is going to get her!!). Anyway. all is well now.

AND I TAG JUSTINE, MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!

Holy cow, I don't know if this is just beautiful, or if I'm emotional right now, because this post almost made me cry. I miss you Kit Kat.

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...
