Pictures Of Summer 2012, now That Its History. . .

I am so far behind, I'm not even gonna try to catch up on our summer! Did we even HAVE summer??? Me thinks the years are flying by too fast!
We had a relaxing Sunday afternoon today, Norvs mom and dad came up for lunch and Jay and April and the girls. . . Its been almost six weeks since hip surgery for my MIL, she's about ready to get rid of her walker! That'll be a wonderful sight to see her walk without it. Its been getting colder every night and raining for the past few days, knocking all those beautiful yellow leaves of of my maples in the front yard!

 We've started raking them into huge piles. But its wasted effort till they are all off. The snow is covering the mountain tops now so one of these days its gonna get us! :) We celebrated our 18 th anniversary the 8th of October! Norv had to fly to Seattle that weekend and Julianna had her 8th birthday, so we are gonna do a gateway later. This time of the year is always a little hard to get nice weather to do the sightseeing we love to do.

 School is going good for the kids, Cody is on his last year of school and there goes my driver so Sam started drivers training and has one more lesson till she gets her permit! She will have her license before school lets out in May so I won't have to haul them! Such a time saver! One of our highlights this summer was having my folks come out to visit us for a week,not nearly long enough. . The kids so enjoy picking on their grandpa! We packed it full of exploring and showing them Idaho in the simmer.



Another thing that kept us busy this summer was being involved with girls camp! Lots of girls,food planning, helping, hauling, organizing and more helping! It lasts a week and is held at our church campground. . . Good experience for the girls!


And another highlight, camping with friends! We went to Lake Sullivan with Owen and Jenny Beachy and kiddos while they are here on furlough from Chile at the mission our church has down there.


Our garden did good in spite of lack of attention on my part. . .



Summertime 2012, over! :( Way too short for me.

The pros of owning a bulk food store!

  ...trying out a Himalayan Pink Salt block from a customer! "would I carry this, please"? (Do I crush it or just pass it around the table?) :) .....i take all the produce home that get bumped and briused. Onions get chopped and frozen, which I love having on hand ,just don't like too many at a time! ....grabbing baking stuff off the shelves,including many items I normally wouldn't get, like mini m&m bits! Funny tho', my spices containers are emptier than ever, I forget to pick them up 'cause I don't have a grocery list anymore! ....farm fresh eggs from local farmers! ....i get to test out the latest kitchen gadgets,including the broken stuff! ....meat and cheese ends from the deli, they make wonderful snacks when having  friends over!

I’m Back!

 I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating!  It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded  that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day at a time and

I sure hope you don't get tired of my blogs full of pictures, 'cause they say more than a thousand words could...I'm not a fast typer either ... We had a late Birthday Party for Mom Skrivseth outside on my feeble looking lawn, the day was so nice and i didn't have shade on any other part of my lawn (the part that is flat) :) Hopefully by next spring we'll have improved the front lawn. We have to shore up, where we park, with big rocks and then we'll fill in the lawn too! I'd like to kidnap this baby, isn't she the sweetest thing? April , if you ever need a babysitter for your girls....you know where to go.. ...good ole' fattening food! Ellie loves her pink boots Judy gave her for here b-day! Samantha and sidekick Stephanie @ the church campout... this got in by mistake and i couldn't delete it... Ellie looks very triumphant about something, Jesse was very meekly letting her play, he is 10 days older but she is def. bossier..... This
