So sorry I've been MIA...I have been so busy! And the worst is yet to come! Fall is a crazy time of year for our family! I have been putting together some info on our frozen meal exchanges, and I still have to pull together some of the recipes, so I will post that soon!
I've been living in the kitchen and garden, and canning has consumed what little extra time there is during the day when I'm not running kids to violin, fiddle club, dance etc...helping with homework, cleaning house, cooking, laundry etc. I'm so thankful that my mom helps me out so much, or I think I might go in sane!
Yesterday when the kids got home from school, we decided that since we don't celebrate this thing that most people call a weekend (there is no such thing as a weekend when you are self employed...especially during the busiest season of the year), I told the kids that we were going to jump on the four wheelers and go to our recently plowed field by the house and play a little. They were so excited...and dad had to stop by the house to get one of the kids four wheelers going...and he even rode his motorbike with us for a few minutes. We came home covered in dirt, but it was a blast. I could just sit in the middle of the field on the four wheeler and watch the kids ride around me...I marvel at the beauty of the land and mountains around me, and I could just sit and soak it in all day. Unfortunately, Lily and Kate kept yelling "Go, mom...GO!" So I had to keep driving around with the older kids to keep the little girls happy...
And here are a couple of recent digi layouts...
Reading your blog always makes me want to move back to Idaho...boy I NEVER thought I'd say that :)! What a fun life you have!!

Looks like OODLES of fun! Isn't it sad we don't "play with our toys" more often? LOL We are going this weekend to Island Park to play on our 4-wheelers and I can barely wait!
Thanks for the fun pix!
