and now she is 4

It is hard for me to believe that I have a 4 year old. There is no way M is 4 already!? How did that happen?? She had a great birthday, with many wonderful presents...to be honest probably the best set of presents she's gotten yet. She loves every single one of them, has played with most of them, a lot. (except the kite, but that is to be done soon). Her favorite is probably the hamster that Justi got her (a zhu zhu pet mind you, if it were real I would be forced to do something horrible to her). Some great tunes from Megan and her family (Gilli's favorites apparently) that caused some great dancing! Too many great things, thanks to everybody. And a BIG thank you to every one who came to her party yesterday - you made it a lot of fun! We went to a local park that has a interactive water (fountain) park. Also, I made ice cream cone cup cakes, that, after making them for M's daycare class, remembered that schools don't really allow baked goods anymore. J's coworkers ate them instead (well, mostly J, but he shared a little).

Your cupcakes turned out so cute! Your kids are pretty cute too. :)

Dude! No baked goods? That's just crazy talk. Love the photos. :) Wondering why there aren't any of you?! Is it because John is slacking? Or because you got to decided which photos post on the blog? Hmmm ... I wonder.

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...
