So, it's been a while.....shame on me!

So, it's been a while since I updated my blog......I know, shame on me.  What can I say?  I got a little side tracked.  Instead of typing our life story here, I will just show you what we have been up to.  

I recently got to see my dad and sister......if you know me, you know this is a RARE treat! 

I made my first batch of Strawberry jam already this year.  I LOVE to can and make goodies so this is a treat as well!

 

We moved....(I know, and I don't want to hear any moving comments!), So Emma and I made all our new neighbors cookies.

 

I love Spring.  I love flowers.  This is my first bouquet this year.

 

The family on our first zoo trip of the year.

 

We got season tickets to the Portland Timbers.

 

Recognize anyone........

Emma has tons of new friends since she started school this year!  Here she is at her friend Mackenzie's birthday party.

Before school photo shoot with mommy!  Such a big girl.

 We finally got our book from BLISS!  It turned out beautiful!

Happy Mother's Day to me!  Thanks to Precious Lambs Preschool!

 

NEW HAIR CUT! Good bye to my long hair after sooooo many years!

 We have a crazy cat, her name is Snowbell and she fits our family like a stinkin glove!

 

Oh, and last but not least, we have chickens! Anyone need eggs?

That doesn't cover everything that is new but it gives you an idea of what we have been up to.  Busy as ever.  Crazy as ever. Lovely as ever.  We love our life and are learning daily to relish in the small things.  Time passes too quickly.  Emma will be four in a few short months and I don't know where the time went.  Sigh....till next time.  I promise it wont be so long between posts.
