Graduation

My baby hasn't been a baby for awhile now, it's true what they say, it feels like you blink your eyes and suddenly they grow up. Mister man #1 lost his first tooth. For me this was the official graduation from babyhood. Before I know it he will be moving out of the house. All I will have to do is blink twice. I'm going to try and keep my eyes open as long as possible.

This Man Means Business

Picture this: 10:30pm, glowing camping lantern, in his garden, planting those last few plants. I call this a dedicated gardener.

No More Mud!!

The mud baths in my yard are getting a little ridiculous.  Just this afternoon, I got after the kids for getting into the mud again.  A few months ago I was feeling very "the glass is half full", and "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" in regards to this sitiation .  My outlook is not so cheery at this very moment.  Today, I say, stay out of the mud, I think these kids have had enough mud baths to last them the rest of their childhoods...

Truth Be Told

This weekend during a car ride going from here to there, Logan informed Landon of a very important tidbit of knowledge.  "Landon, you know, Anakin turns into Darth Vader when he grows up", Landon in a tone that can only be described as completely shocked says "Anakin turns into Darth Vader?  You gotta be kidding me man!"  Out of the mouths of babes....

We are the champions

I love the D.I. (Deseret Industries) for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, its our local goodwill store.  I love taking my junk there, don't you just love the feeling of getting rid of stuff you no longer want or use, with the possibility that maybe someone else will want it?  I also love taking a spin through the store every once in a while to see what treasures I can find.  This last weekend we shopped and found this lovely item, a beauty queen trophy, measuring more than six feet tall.  All I can say is that Brion has big plans for this diamond in the rough....

Just not something you see everyday

A few weeks ago we got a 4lb package of honey bees. What in tarnations are you thinking (I can hear this thought running through your mind). Just trying to keep things hopping around here. Just so you know 4lbs of bees is about 13,000 bees. The pictures here are my personal study of bee keeping (children's books) The real bee keeper (Brion) took an actual class, he's now a professional so don't worry :) Dumping 13,000 bees into a beehive is just not something you see everyday. Wish us luck!
