We saw some familiar faces! The Johnston’s came to visit us. They have family in Washington so they had plans to camp and visit family and added us to the list. I’m sure they were exhausted and ready to get to their own homes and beds but we were sure glad to spend time with [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

This was out take on what we usually do at the end of April. Instead of going to Utah this year, we did a trailer trash version. We stayed in the trailer and had our own little classes in the morning. I loved learning from the other girls and discussing and sharing! I didn’t take [...]
Having playgroups has its ups and downs. : ) I love to line them all up at lunch time and hear them say, “I want blue, I want orange…. No I want blue!” We have those Ikea plastic dishes and fighting over color seems to be protocol. This particular day, I gave them all white! [...]
This past weekend I ran away… with some dear friends. I ended up in Branson, Missouri. : ) It was my first appearance in Missouri and I must say that it is quite beautiful. The weather was perfect, the sky was clear and the residents were so friendly. I have a friend in Missouri-I met [...]
We recently took a group for an evening hike at San Tan Mountains. It was an absolutely beautiful and perfect day. I wished 2 things: that I rode my mountain bike more often AND that my family loved things like this as much as I did! Well, moving to WA will give us tons of [...]
Daimon was Mr. Independent on that horse! He was doing so awesome with the horse and he was on his own. As they rounded the gate, I had to take the shot. I just love the DOF on this. Ha! its funny to me.
