Whatcha Doin?

We enjoyed a mostly relaxing day yesterday. We planned to go to church, but Myles was sick. The kind of sick you don't deal with anywhere but home. We caught up on some work stuff and relaxed. I had a 3 hour nap with Fiona! Our neighbors (the ones that we went camping with) came over for some yummy Alaskan King Salmon. We brought out the scrapbooks to share and had a great time visiting about that wonderful trip.

Macy woke up with sore legs and not feeling well, so we are going to have another day of lounging here. She's had a cough for weeks now, and everyone else is picking it up too. I love the lazy days...I can nap. I really hope that I can get used to these meds soon and sleep at night when I'm supposed to!

Have a snuggly warm day.

We Made It Home....

Well, we made it home late Friday night. It was a very short trip with lots of time in the car. We left Tuesday night in hopes of beating the storm....and we drove out of it after Butte. It was nearly 4 am when we arrived in Wenatchee. Wednesday was spent relaxing and catching up on sleep, and then early Thursday we were on the road again for the west side. We made it back over that evening and then headed out mid-Friday for home. Saturday we spent the day relaxing a bit and gearing up for the open house Sunday. It was beautiful here, so the kids and I spent the time at the park and eating ice cream. We had a few turn out, and there were nearly 100 open houses yesterday. No sell yet, but I'm praying. Here are a few of the pictures that I took to share. I should have taken more, but I was a tired momma. I forgot, so the photos uploaded backwards...

Eating bubbles at Auntie Jane & Uncle Steve's house.

Lots of visiting with family!

More bubble fun! They sent the kids home with these awesome animals that blow the bubbles and we have had tons of fun with them.

Popcicles!

We met Afton...he's a cute and so sweet!

I missed photos of the grandparents, and the great grandparents. Hopefully we make it back out later this summer to enjoy Grandma's pool. Thank you all for the fun, food, and spoiling us!

Easter Weekend Photos

We are heading out to Washington tonight or tomorrow (depending upon weather) to attend the funeral of Grady's Great Grandma. It will be a very quick trip. We'll be back on Friday sometime, just on time to hold our first open house this weekend. I thought that I'd leave you with some of my favorite pictures from this past weekend.

Cousins Damion and Nicholas having fun!

Helping Grandma water the plants.
Yummy chocolate candy!

The only pose he'd give me!

Egg hunting!

Sorting candy!

All eight grandkids on my side of the family. Funny thing.....half are MINE!

Dad & my sister, Tosha.

Baby Auvrey touching Great Granpa! Love, love, love this one.

Elisa. She's a hard one to get a picture of...she doesn't stop.

I've taken tons, but these where what I uploaded for you. Have a nice week, despite the cold weather that they are forcasting.

Happy Easter!

We're gearing (or should I say packing?) up for a quick trip down to Wyoming. Stopping in to look at another house tonight and then Easter dinner with my family tomorrow since they have to work on Sunday. And, hopefully we can have some Easter fun on Sunday before we head back. My sister and her family will be in town, so I am very excited to see them all again. All the grandbabies in the same place...we haven't had that since September!

From our family to you and yours, Have a Happy and Blessed Easter!

Fiona's First Haircut!

After tons of bribing and many, many crusty looks from Fiona, she took her turn in the hairdresser's chair. We had battles daily when trying to get a comb through it, so we decided to trim it up a bit and see if that helped. I think that she liked it!
Macy had a trim job done on her's also, but Myles has to wait until after Easter. I want some curls in his hair for those photos!

Our new girls!

Circus Times TWO

We went to the circus last Thursday with Macy and a group of families from school for a birthday party, and went back yesterday with Daddy. I remembered my camera for the second trip, so here's some of the fun for you all to enjoy. We had sugar overload going when we left, but the kids had a great time. I think that the treats must have been their favorite part though.

Myles did fall asleep. I guess that the heat in that place mixed with a very short nap helped enduce this nap.Stuart getting his light up sword thingy. He chose this while the girls picked the snowcones!

And, what good is a circus without cotton candy? My kids sure did endulge themselves!

Stu did not want me to take his picture, so I snuck this one!

Miss FeeBee has some other news to share, but I need to get the pictures off of Grady's phone first....

Good Ole Sticky Fingers....

Baby wipes were a must and a lifesaver!

We worked on the house a bit more today and republished some photos on that blog and went for a few walks. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Happy April Fools (a day late)....

We started off the morning with tons of silly jokes that Stu made up and cereal with blue milk. Yup, that was a hit! Even the yogurt eaters needed cereal after they saw it! We were off to school and then home for a bit of play outside while I prepared dinner.

Steamed carrots (main course), raspberry chocolate fluff-fluff with caramel drizzle for the top (dessert).

Oh, the kids thought that they were in heaven! Stu even spouted out, "if you don't want yours, I'll eat it". Well, until they tried it. Macy thought that the raspberry topping tasted a bit odd, and Stu said that the caramel topping tasted like gravy. Then it hit him....it was mashed potatos and gravy! We had Shepherd's Pie in an actual pie crust and pan! I had them all fooled!

Myles didn't mind much! He loved the red potatoes (until he threw them everywhere...then I decided red was not really the best color for that...I had to scrub the grout clean!) That was the best I did for the jokes, but convincing Macy that the meatloaf was actually homemade chocolate deserves a blue ribbon. That girl has the best nose, and I know that she could smell that meat.

After a busy night last night (we made 40 Octupus's Garden snacks for school today) and an even crazier morning. THANKS MYLES! (that's a joke...he spilled Macy's cereal all over and then proceeded to smear it, so he had a bath; Macy needed me to brush her hair; Fiona stripped naked for a bath that she did not get and had to be re-dressed; Stu and Macy needed a bowl of food; the bathroom was very, very wet from Mr. Myles' bath; and I had to find a box to put those jello goodies in for school.....all 25 minutes before departure) It was a great smile that filled my face to see this when I went to let the dog in....


...so I sent it to Daddy, who is on his way to Basin today!
