This year’s Halloween was a blast as usual. The kids have been wearing their costumes for weeks since I was finished with them super early this year.
Augie was Anakin Skywalker- he cracks me up posing like that! For his costume, I made the bottoms with a pj pant pattern and for the shirt I simply [...]

Scared you, didn’t I? Bet you thought I was gone. Sorry yet again about the lack of posts. My blog just hasn’t been calling me lately. Kids, house, TV, books, knitting, sun, mushrooms, and dinner have gotten my full attention lately.
I’ve been around though- in the forum, tweeting, and lord help me- facebook. There’s still [...]

We had to go slow on our last trip. Back troubles are keeping us from driving for more than 45 min at a time. (Did you know that you are not supposed to sit for more than 45 min at a time? Try it on your next roadtrip.)
I loved it though. We stopped places [...]

Before Summer flies on by, I wanted to document a little of what we’ve been up to.
First off, the boys climbed Black Butte. This picture was taken 2 days before a large forest fire destroyed almost 600 acres very close to where these two sat. Chris plans on taking them back up there next year [...]

My dad never really liked pets. He let us take in a stray or two, but they would disappear. We had some fish here and there, a turtle and a bird. Overall though, I do not remember pets playing a huge role in our lives.
Lately, I’ve been wanting a dog. (Or another baby, but that’s [...]

The other half had his birthday today. His dinner choice was Caesar salad (such an awesome recipe- I swear it’s better than any other), oven-baked red potatoes and lamb chops.
Oh my! I never knew these chops were so good. Eddie and Olivia loved them too, but Augie stuck to his usual vegetarian fair. We also [...]

Cut it down or keep some for the birds…
I think he’s going to cut it down. (Do you see him up there hanging on for dear life?) Hopefully his chance of survival is greater that way.
For those who know our backyard, you understand what a big deal this is. Chris has wanted this birch down [...]
