Good Food and Family Fun

As I mentioned before, I LOVE going out and having fun with my family. And I can’t think of a better combination than family and RED LOBSTER. Generic as it is, this is my very FAVORITE place to eat and coincidently, it’s my Dad’s favorite place to eat also. So where did I take my [...]

Oh, The Newfangled Conveniences of Our Times

Today (and this WHOLE ) past week, I am thankful for the internet. When we first moved here, we had to make a choice – either have internet or satellite tv. We couldn’t afford both, so the choice was easy for me; I have to be connected to the web. I need to keep in [...]

Halloween Fun (and an explaination)

Ah, November. The month of my FAVORITE holiday. Thanksgiving is all about being kind, thankful, seeing family and eating good food, and remembering those we love. Now, I love me some Christmas time spirit, don’t get me wrong. Christmas and Thanksgiving are very nearly tied, but it’s Thanksgiving that continues to hold the number one [...]

Why Won’t My Chickens Lay Eggs? Another Random Mystery…

Now, I know that some of you are surprised. A couple of you readers even called (or texted) us to ask the question: “You got chickens? Why in the heck did you get chickens?”. And how many and what kind and why?!? Well, I think I can tell you why…
One of my very first memories [...]

Summer Lovin’

So I guess I have to admit that I’ve been a bloggin slacker. I could blame it on having a kid, but it’s been nearly 5 months since he was born. Or I could blame it on the fact that we have been enlarging our backyard to about 4 times the size in was before [...]

A Birthday Present..

In our home, birthdays are great days to get your favorite breakfast. In fact, looking back at it, the whole day seems to slowly revolve around food. Like homemade french toast with FRENCH bread, at FOUR in the morning (if that’s when you wake up and have to go to work). Then there’s the thoughtfully [...]

“You wanna fight?” “If you insist…”

Yep. We are totally fighting. There’s bloodshed. And tears. And even yelling. But no bloodshed. Mostly because the fights have been on the phone. And there hasn’t been any yelling. Not yet. But there will be, you bet yer butt there will be. Why, you ask? Well, I’ll fill you in really quick…
Back in April, [...]

In Arizona, this IS a necessity!

When thinking about what constitutes a “need” and what fills in the gap as a “want”, I’ve made up my mind.
I need this.
And so does my son. And my husband. That’s all.
Here’s the setup process:
Go get loads of sand from the local wash.
Level (I mean REALLY level) out the ground.
Put down a tarp.
Wait in vain [...]

Silly Dancing Boy

Sorry that this is such a poor quality, but it was taken with Gila Man’s phone, so it’s fuzzy. You also can’t hear the music much because it’s coming out of the tv, but I just wanted to show you what we do for entertainment ’round here.

Yup. We’re pretty desperate for [...]

Just An Update

Thought ya might like some pictures of the new one, I know I can’t get enough of looking at him (funny how that is). I realize that I’m not very good at functioning or thinking rationaly when I don’t get enough sleep – I’m a little selfish that way. Mr. B is the BEST big [...]
