Having a great summer?

Well as usual, its been along time since i have posted anything on my poor neglected blog...but today is anew and fresh and its never to late to start over.... so we moved last november to a bigger house on 5 acres... we love it... but it is about 20 minutes out of town and on a bumpy dirt road( its about 8 minutes on the dirt rd) and we travel that bumpy dirt rd several times a day.... so it gets a little crazy....I have told my kids that i am practicing for the Baja 1000 so i need to see how fast i can go on that dirt road...what is even funnier is when you are trying to drink a cup of coffee or some sort of beverage on that dirt road.... i feel like we all need sippy cups....but i do love our house and we are in the middle of nowhere...



And here is my cute potting shed... which i just love.....

The house also has 8 raised garden beds, which i have been trying to grow some things in....i will say that i am an EXCELLENT grower of weeds.... not so much vegatables but lots of weeds... i do better when i grow things in pots...

we have been having a fabulous summer....visiting our great friends in San Diego.. and exploring all the beaches there and having my parents and brother come for a visit there....


Had a awesome birthday on the beach and then a drive-in movie(my kids had never been to one)and spent the 4th of july on the beach...had a little family reunion on the beach...fun stuff going on around here....

Then my husband took me to Las Vegas for a night... that was fun!!! That was the first time we have ever left our kids with friends and were in another state without them....a summer of firsts


so now we only have a little bit left of summer ( kids here start on Aug. 8th)and trying to plan as much stuff in the last couple weeks before school is supposed to start... although since we homeschool... we have a little bit more time which is good..... hope you are all having a great summer!!!
