Right. Home again, home again...

Riggety Jig.
So I'm back home. We had a great time visiting Minnesota. And I only planned on being there a week, but after about 3 days my oh so loving hubby calls and asks "Do you think you could stay there longer?" What? Seriously, come on folks...aren't they supposed to miss you and want you to come home? - Obviously not. But, all joking aside, he did have a reason. He wanted to surprise me, and the surprise was our finished (well practically finished) bathroom. It has been in a state of chaos for...well probably about a year! GEEZ! And J finished painting and took out the old carpet and put in new linoleum! I'm so excited to actually have a bathroom again.
M, E and I went to aunt Megan's house and got to play with my her and her family. M loves to go and play with her cousins - who also adore her...at least for the first week! Maybe having people stay in your home for two weeks loses its appeal! We also spent time at Grandma Jo's and aunt Erin's, which was also fun. They have a pool and we got to swim a few times.
I also got to see my dentist while I was there - but low and behold I ended up needing 3 fillings!! But now my teeth are fixed!
I will attempt photos soon.

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...
