At The End of A Looooong Day After 5 Days With Noooooo Husband…

I was getting the boys ready for bed when I walked into the bathroom to see that Mr. B had gotten out of the shower without drying off, (after having left the shower curtain open for the duration of his shower) and was drawing all over the sink with the last few squirts of the [...]

Fall Pictures

Out here in Arizona, we don’t have much of a fall. We have a blazin’ hot summer, and then BAM! It’s cold. Then the weather plays games with us and bounces up and down like a yo-yo until January, when then the wind starts and it really does get cold. Today is December 16th, and [...]

Rebound Chick

Nothing soothes a broken heart like a new love…
Thanks to Callie, we were able to add a few new beaks to our brood. Which is great because our two grown hens seem to be suffering post tramatic stress disorder and quit laying eggs!! We’ve got two of each;
We’ll let you know if the little guys [...]

A Life Lesson – And A Hard One At That

Once upon a time there was a boy. A boy who loved animals. The Boy loved animals because his family owned animals and he tried, with all his 5-year-old might, to take good care of all the animals that his family owned. He grew to learn about cats and dogs, birds and lizards, horses, cows [...]

A Moment

I sit at the computer, scrolling through my friend’s blogs, enjoying a quiet moment as I nurse my son. It’s fun to have an excuse to sit here – I don’t have to explain myself to anyone – I am feeding my son. I have 10 guilty free moments here, and I am gonna enjoy [...]

Meet Our New “Neigh-bors”!!

You know, since we moved out here, I don’t think I’ve shared a whole lot about the fun little quirks that are associated with this area. When I tell friends and others about where we live and what we do around here, they always seem surprised, so maybe I’ll share a few of the “funny” [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A Baby Story

Ok, so this blog entry has been about 3 weeks in the making. Every chance I get, I sit down and try to get this story out, but as soon as I get a sentence or two written, something ALWAYS calls me away from the computer. Needless to say, the story might have a few [...]

He’s Here!!!!

Well, after a long and rather nasty labor, Oliver Ray was born on May 5th, at 1:51 a.m. My brother Michael called it at LONG time ago, he said the Baby O would be a Cinco De Mayo baby, and it happened. At least it’s an easy date to remember.
I’ll have to post about the [...]
