I decided I need to start with my blog again. So much is going on in my life and I need to figure it all out. I have been going in a new direction lately with my art and interests. I have taken a few on line classes and have learned so much. I will be posting some of the projects I have been working on soon. I have found a few blogs that I love to follow. They have been helping me find the courage to try and to move forward. Now I just have to figure out what to try and where I am going to move forward to.
When at Cole's she put Carly's hair in little twists on her head. When they were taken out her hair was so pretty in soft waves.
Abe has such cute little curls. Scott wants his hair cut, but then he will loose all those adorable curls. So Cole just can't come to cutting his hair yet. I told him I wanted to get a picture of him so he took this pose all by himself. He was so cute.
I took these pictures this fall and forgot about
them. I went around my yard and got some
of the colors of our fall. I wasn't going to take
pictures of my purple cornflower, but I liked
the way you could still see just a touch of purple
with the brown.
I haven't been able to take very many
pictures since it has gotten cold and so
snowy. I put this bagel out the first part
of November. I was a little discouraged
because no birds came to eat from it. Then
I was looking out the window and saw this
sparrow. I was so happy finally a bird came.
This summer was a very busy one and it went so fast it seemed like it was over before it really got started. This picture is one I took while I was at Wood Badge in Island Park. I really liked this little area.
This is Isaac. He is growing so fast. He is a cute and happy little boy. He loves being out side any time he can get out there. Ususally it is with the help of the dog door.
Here is Katelyn. She is a very good little girl. She is very happy and loves you to just be with her. She loves to talk and to discover new things. One of the very favorite things she loves to do is pick strawberries. Now that it is colder and the berries are gone she still goes out to see if there are any there.
Curt and I made a sandbox awhile back. The kids have really liked playing in it. The only problem is that by the time all the kids get in the sandbox there isn't any sand left to play with. So I decided that the box needed to be bigger. Curt was excited because he got to do all the digging. I did help, but he does a lot better digging than I do. So then of course we needed more sand to go into the box. Brian and Kristy were here living with us for a few weeks so the kids came out with us and played on the big sand mountain while we got sand.
It was a very windy day so I am surprised that the sand stayed in the truck. 
here is Isaac. He mainly just tried to keep the sand out of his face. But he did have fun and really likes the sandbox. It is the first place he goes when he gets outside to play.
Katelyn was helping with the sand. The only problems was she was putting it out while Curt put it in. It was a good thing his shovel was bigger than her hands.
Abby even had a fun time. She would come and sit right where we were digging and the sand would slide down and she would end up in the hole. She never could figure out what had happened.
Now we just have to get enough sand to fill up the big whole in the backyard.
This Summer Curt and I went to Utah for a little vacation. We went biking and 4 wheeling with Chuck and Machel. My sister and husband. Here I am getting ready to go for the day.
Along the trail there was this field of blue flowers everywhere. They were so pretty.
This was the coolest looking blossom. It is some type of thistle. I was so fascinated by it.
As we were getting done riding this is part of the scenery as we were going down the mountain. The colors were so pretty and it looked so serene.
While we were there we took some fun pic's. Here is one of me and my sister. We had so much fun and I really like being with her.
Well it has been way to long since I have posted anything. Life has not been as easy going lately as before. In July I tried to cut my big toe off and that is not very advisable. That really did me in for awhile. Then I did a few scouting camps, one with Curt that was really fun. After that I had children come visit and then Brian and Kristy came to live here until they found a place to land. So I have been just trying to maintain and now sink. Which I must of done because I am posting this now. I have taken several thousands of pictures and will try to find some to share later. But I did take this yesterday of Abby for my photography class I am taking.
Here she was upset with me because she wanted to get down and I said no she had to stay and let me take more pictures.
Here she couldn't believe I was really taking pictures of her in the sweater my neighbor gave me for her. It wasn't her idea of fun. But she is so cute.
Aren't these the cutest toes ever. Baby toes are so sweet. Abe always crosses his ankles when he is just hanging out.
Carly and Brayden thought it was great walking through the tires when we were at Costco. So yes of course I had to get pictures
In the parking lot at Costco
Scott was getting ready to go to a weekend with the National Guard and Brayden put on his vest and hat. He was so cute and thought he was so cool. A little scarry for me. Hope he never has to fit into these for real.
Here is Carly just after she had to have her front tooth pulled. She did so good. I went to Boise because she said she would be able to have it pulled if I was there to be with her. She was a little scared, but did wonderful. Sad she has to go through so much and not very old.
Here is little Abe just being cute. And I don't feel I am partial.
