Yogurt Island & Hatch Green Chile

When I went to the training in Pala I told G that if she was really good for mommy, we would take her to Yogurt Island. In the days after I got back we had cake for my birthday and Halloween candy so Yogurt Island got moved to the back of the list, not removed, just …

Fear of water

Ginger has been making lots of progress when it comes to her fear of water. Up until last month she would freak out if water got on her face or in her ears but ever since we visited the Glade family when they were in town on vacation, she’s been a lot better. Cary Glade and …

Tabbouleh, I love you a bit too much

Tabbouleh, Tabouleh,  Tabbouli, or  Tabouli? Nobody knows… What I do know is that this stuff, whatever you call it, is capital AWESOME! You have to like parsley but after that it’s the most flavorful, light, and refreshing thing you can eat. It’s lemony and bright! I had today off but spent most of it sitting …

Squint – Brigham’s happy face

Out of respect for Katherine Saubel’s (a very important member of the native community) passing the tribe closed down at three today and will be closed all day tomorrow. I ended up leaving just before four and picked up the kids on my way home. Dar was at an OB appointment, I’m so glad that …

The Cotton Patch

Went to my Grandma’s house today to visit and pick up a chair that she gave me. I had the kids and my mom with me so we stayed for a good while and let the kids explore the fun stuff outside and all the wide open spaces. I think the pictures tell this story …

Dancing in the rain

I love rainy days! It wasn’t actually all that rainy but it was really cloudy. The Desert is always sunny so an overcast day is a welcome change. You know who else loves the rain… Ginger! That girl loves a good puddle jump and any excuse to don her ladybug rain gear. I have a …

Now Dar is a sicky-poo!

Dar stayed home sick today. She finally got the bug that Ginger brought home from pre-school and it’s really doing a number on her. She was throwing up all day. I know that pictures have accompanied all the sicky-poo posts of the sicky-poo person but I’m pretty sure Dar would kill me if I tried …

Kicking a ball at the park

Half day at work today. YAY! We did a service project at Church recently and since then I have stored a trailer full of orange tree clippings in my garage. Today I finally had the time to get rid of them. I had to move them to the back of my truck before taking them …

Brigham is a sicky-poo too.

The boy actually slept all night… no joke. He woke up at about 5:30 so I gave him a little milk to test the waters. When I went back into his room at 6:30 to check on him I found that the waters were hot… rough? wet? whatever… point is, he threw up again. He …
