1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...16...18...16...I'm good at counting...I don't like monsters." And...how am I supposed to respond?
First Day of School – 2nd and 3rd Graders (and a preschooler)
Oh my goodness! This picture says it all. Let's just say that some of us were more excited than others for the "first day of school." Funny part is that Presley doesn't start pre-school until Thursday. She is just going to Cuddlebugs today like she always does. I hope…
Liam’s Birthday
Liam was so darn cute about what he wanted to do for his birthday this year. He decided against having friends to Herron Island because "they don't go to sleep." This boy gets the importance of sleep! I have to admit...i was relieved! Then he asked if we could "go on a…
Swim Lessons
The kids have been enjoying Two weeks of swim lessons this summer and have improved considerably. They are both doing side breathing (well, SJ is sort of doing front-side breathing) and are leading all of the strokes. They also get to jump off the diving board and Liam even did a front flip (so…
ICE CREAM TRUCK
PDo all parents struggle so much to keep their kids eating healthy or am I just a nut? I really try to feed them a high protein, low sugar diet but it seems the whole world is against me. Let's see, the kids were asked by a neighbor to go to Top Pot donuts this morning, then I couldn't say no…
Uncle Scott is back!
Hard to explain how incredibly happy it makes me to have my brother back in our lives. Leif and I picked him up and took him outside for the first time in 3.5 years. He was nervous and anxious as anyone would be and I was so grateful to be able to be there with him. Thanks to my…
Skyler’s 7th Birthday
She had been looking forward to having her friends out to Herron Island for her birthday ever since Liam got to do the same for his 7th birthday a year ago. And who would have thought that ALL her besties could make it. Let me tell you....having 5 girls was 50% easier than having…
Seriously Presley
Well this is what I am dealing with at the moment.... I told her it was time for bed. The next thing I know, I am having a lightsabor match with a 2 year old. Pretty sure she thinks she has the upper hand....
Dad goes to France…Grandma goes to the hospital
About a month ago, Leif and I were driving down the hill together when he got a text from his uncle Keith. Keith was inviting him to go bike around the south of France.....in three weeks. Leif waffled back and forth until I told him that if he was not going to go, I would! And I…
I am participating in Idaho Rivers United’s River Run and was wondering if you would support me.
Idaho Rivers United works to protect and restore Idaho’s rivers and native fisheries, a cause very important to me. Idaho’s rivers need ongoing dedicated protections to keep our waters running clean, clear, and full of fish.
To participate in the River Run, I rafted down the Middle Fork River and had a great time. I saw lots of different kinds of fish and even a black bear. They were all in their natural habitat and I want to keep it that way so all wildlife can be happy forever.
Please consider supporting me in my efforts for this worthy cause!
