Skyler is almost swim safe!
After a totally dysfunctional episode at Herron Island a few weeks back in which I again proved to anyone within ear shot that I am completely incapable of coaching my children in sports, I enrolled Skyler in swimming lessons. For the record (and my honesty will only make me look bad but oh well),…
Random Herron Island side trip
On our way to Herron Island today, we discovered a random carnival on the side of the road just past Key Center. Although we were in a hurry to catch the 3 o'clock ferry, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to let the kids ride on a few rides and eat a snow cone. It was a quick trip but well…
Rapunzel hair
I received this picture from Leif this morning. I was already at work am he sent it saying: "Skyler did her own hair for school this morning". I am a little concerned with the freedom he is giving the kids in the morning (Leif takes them to school in the morning and I pick them up in the…
Poor little LJ
Our little boy has had a tough couple months! It seems like one thing after the next yet he has handled it all in stride and has proved to be so extraordinarily resilient! He had been going through a stage where he was experiencing extreme (understatement) separation anxiety. And I mean…
Her Ladyship
Leif's new nickname for Skyler is "Her Ladyship". We have clearly been watching too much Downton Abby!!! She cracked me up the other day as she re-hashed the story of her getting in "big time trouble" for going over to our neighbors house after Leif had told her "no". I said "it's not okay to…
This family couldn’t do it without him!
I know this blog is for the kids and I rarely post about Leif and I but I need to recognize him for all that he has done lately to make this family better. Leif has had SO much on his plate lately. A full time job, and a job search for something even better. Starting his own…
Skyler’s 4 Year Old Check Up
Skyler received another A+ at her check up today and exhibited such bravery around getting her shot. She became very quiet when she heard that she had to get one but when it came time to actually do it, she held out her arm and watched them do it. She said "ouch" and that was…
God’s Teddy Bear
So I had one of those moments today when everything in life felt peaceful and perfect. When I was overwhelmed with a sense that all was right in the world and that I was doing exactly what I should be doing. I picked up the kids from school and we were driving home. The cottonwood…
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!
