There is beauty all around…

I mentioned our hunt for all the parks.  We were introduced to St. Edwards park.  There is a trail that leads down to the water but we ran out of time.  I love to go to the parks and sit in  my beach chair (since we aren’t visiting the beach, I can certainly pretend…) and [...]

Not the ordinary park

I guess you could say that we haven’t seen parks like this.  We are determined to discover all the parks in the area and there are many.  Each one is unique and fun.  The first one we discovered is what we call the castle park.   The weird thing about parks is the bark as the [...]

Moving Party

I have talked many-a-times about the amazing people in AZ that I have the privilege of calling friends.  They gave my family (Tim and I) a wonderful farewell party.  All the work they put into it was beautiful and fun.  The food was delicious and the company was perfect.  It was a difficult place to [...]

Fun with wigs

The other day Zoe and her friends were looking for something to do…  I remembered the WIGS!  It’s amazing what the imagination can do with a simple wig!  They were singing and dancing and then wanted to dress up in my clothes with heels.   Why they link me and my clothes to wigs is beyond [...]

reduce, reuse, recycle

I am awesome!  OK, maybe it is WA that is (not me?). I get a recycle bin, a compost bin and a trash bin.  Take note…. trash is the smallest.  There is an insert that covers the bottom of the bin-I can only fit about 1.5 trash bags of stuff in there.  It is some [...]

Unpacking little treasures

Remember what I found before I moved… Rainbow Bright?  Well, I had to put the others away but now that I am unpacked and organizing the office, I felt it appropriate to get out those little treasures.  Buckle up, this is pretty dang awesome! First, there is cute little Lisa in kindergarten.  Doesn’t she look [...]

Moving day memories

Graebel was our mover and they were fantastic but nothing could make better what was happening.  We were moving.  We were leaving.  The truck showed up (Thursday, June 24th) first thing in the morning and I was sad at the reality-the day had come and it was time to truly pack our bags.  As they [...]

Not just strawberries

Forgot there were raspberries too…

Strawberry fields

One of the things we did our first week here was visit a u-pick farm for some fresh strawberries and raspberries.  It was beautiful out there and Zoe could barely NOT eat them and Zane wouldn’t eat (or smell or lick) them.   When we got back to our temporary home, we forgot to put them [...]

My new life part 2

So life continues and we are out of the temporary housing.  Our truckload arrived on Saturday, nearly a week ago.  Since the truck arrived, I have yelled at the kids (practically all day I had a raised voice with an edge-a not so kind edge and at times raised it to levels that even shocked [...]
