Yippee!!! Schools out for summer(must sing it like Alice Cooper)

Even though we home school... I just really like singing that song!!! Well this year we did a different curriculum and we liked it, but we didn't love it.. and needless to say i really love singing that song!!!! Because i really mean it. Well,  what does everyone have planned for the summer vacation.... anything exciting???

Well for me it all depends on all stars... my two boys... may make all stars even though i had asked them...Are you SURE you what to play if you get picked... and of course they were like... YEAH... of course we do... and i said OH! well then OK... so we will try and do some camping and some backpacking(the new hobby). My husband wants to summit the highest peak in Arizona... Mt Humphreys.  oh with me tagging along with him... which i am thinking.... are you supposed to be like training for something like that???

Well we will see, also maybe a trip to my parents house in No. Cal. Should be fun!!!!!!

A little Arizona sunset for ya!!!

What is on your summer time list?????

IM ALONE IN MY HOUSE

I am sitting here....ALL ALONE!!! i can't even believe it!!! YIPEEEE... my husband took all 4 little dills... fishing.....and i chose not to go! This really never happens.... ME ALL ALONE....I always have at least one or two kids that wanted to stay home or was not feeling well so had to stay home... but it worked out that they all went. I really do have lots of stuff i should be doing.... laundry... dishes.... and everything else i do all day long... but lookie here im blogging and loving every minute of it!!!!!! and im thinking of a craft to do... should i start a new one or finish one of the 13 i have started already??? its so fun starting them and then its actually work to finish them.... we will see... until the fishing ends!!!

The bags above are something i actually finished... out of chicken feed bags and doggie food bags.. use them as beach bags, tote bags or reusable grocery bags.. and i am also starting to make a new rug out of old t-shirts. they can all be found on my etsy shop.

a two poster day!!!

WOW.. here i don't post forever and today im posting twice... i need to catch up.. who knows maybe it will be three....

OH HOW I LOVE BABY GOATS!!!!! we went on a little field trip to Strawberry AZ.(is this not he cutest name of a town????)  to Fossil Creek goat and llama farm... so fun... we had the best goat milk fudge and goat cheese...... I on the other hand was a little confused about the field trip and I thought that we actually got to milk them and make the fudge ourselves(which i was so extremly excited to do) but we just got to feed the baby goats from a bottle and BUY the fudge... oh well it was still fun... my boys were grateful... before the trip they were saying " we are not milking anything"   what fun is that, I say!!!! Fun homeschooling days!!!!

A New hobby???

So my sweet husband wants to start backpacking as a family and check out new hikes... so for Mothers Day he bought me a new backpack and a new backpacking chair and a backpacking sleeping bag...I love the colors of them... OH and i do love them as well. let me just say my husband LOVES to buy gear!! he's a GEAR GUY!! and NOT the cheap stuff either!!! Well.. we went on a hike as a family and YES we did have fun, even my 4 yo baby dill.. made the trip ALL BY HERFELF!!! And i did get some exercise and it was pretty.... there was water there... in Arizona.....people that live in AZ flock to water....we DID have a good time, Thanks to my sweet big dill pickle!!!!

MUST WATCH! if you eat food

i saw this and it was shocking!!!!SO TRUE

Some valentine love

I found these really great vintage valentine post card that my great aunt had wrote to my great grandmother. They are post marked 1909, 1910 and 1912. It that not the coolest.... I was actually looking online for some vintage valentines to print up to give my girls and to decorate with... and then I remembered that I have this whole huge stack of post cards that I kept when my great aunt passed away... so i dug them out and i just love them... i can't stop staring at them... thinking about the time when they were given... a simple post card to show their love... no e-cards, email, texts and all the other electronic things we do these days.... i just love to think about simpler times!

oh and here is my new cowl that i crocheted this week, to bad its like 70 degrees out and i can't even where it. Bummer!!! maybe it will get cold again... i guess i should not complain.. with all the midwestern and east coast storms and snow!!!
