Camping you got to love it!

Actually I never really have liked it too much before but this time was quite pleasant. Clint and I think we even want to go a few more time this summer. We went up to Farragut in Bayview Idaho and had a great time. Lots of fun to be had. Great trails to go riding and hiking on. We even got some geocaching in. Found three of four we planned on. There is a disc golf course that the kids just loved. Some of our friends took us out on their boat and we went to a private beach. It was skipping rock heaven. All the rocks were flat and great for skipping.

All the things to do at Farragut!

Apron for Swap is finished!


Finished my apron for the swap. Summertime theme with a tea towel to match. I love this stuff. I don't get anything done around the house because of all my fun projects. For some reason I have it switched around and I do the stuff that is for fun first and then all my need to do's never get done.

The day I have been waiting for



This is Mr. V's bird feeder that he made in preschool. He just wanted to take a picture of it.

This is the day I have been waiting for. Sunshine! I am so solar powered it is not even funny. It is quite the shock to go from the cold weather we have been having to this 80 degree weather. I am not complaining. I love this and am so ready for the summer time! It also means more time with the kiddos.

Swap Bag

I received my swap bag today! It was a sad story though. The lady how had me said she had bit off more than she could chew. She then sent me the bag she had received. I thought that was very sweet and thoughtful. Thank you!

What's in the name?

So we teach nursery at church and the kids favorite song
is Three Green and Speckled Frogs. It's mine too! We have
four people in our family thus Four Speckled Frogs.

Three green and speckled frogs sat on a speckled log,
eating the most delicious bugs, yum,yum,
one jumped into the pool, where is was nice and cool,
now there are two green speckled frogs, Ribbit, Ribbit!

We both love to dress up so I made her skirt and thrifted most of my outfit. It Rocks to be a Mom! We had a great time playing games and went to ice cream afterward.
