Happy belated Valentines!

Conveniently (for valentines day and all) M has recently discovered...and practiced...that she can make the I love You sign with her hands. It's really great because she's really enthusiastic and excited about it. Spontaneously she walks by with the sign held out and announces "I LOVE YOU, MOM!" and it's great.


M got 3 things for Valentines Day. One was a gigantic pink and red catepillar (which she adores), two was a heart balloon with tweety on it, and three is displayed in this picture - guess what it was-
okay...it's kinda hard to tell in this picture, but we got her ears pierced! and she is soooo stinkin proud. We've talked about doing it a couple of times, but I though she was too little, plus I totally didn't want to hurt her. She kept telling me she wanted her own though, and so on V day J and I asked her if she wanted her ears pierced, and she said yes. Now, I know 2 year olds can't really make decisions like that, but she in general knew what she was getting into. I told her, multiple times "M, It will hurt to get your ears pierced. It will be owies." and very seriously she looked back and J and I and said "I know. It be owies, but I need to." - so. we did.

She is so grown up! My daughter was four and I wished I had done it earlier just so she wouldn't be taking them out all of the time! So much easier to take care of them too when they are younger.

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...
