Hello all.

Well it's been a few weeks. We have been quite busy. There have been many activites that have gone on. It seems that during the spring and summer up here there is always something to do. I think they try to cram all the fun in to the summer due to all the snow they say comes this way in the winter. 

We went to the local Zoo. It was quite nice. There city Zoo and Park is on top of the hill and you can see over the whole county and city. There Zoo was quite nice for the size. The girl loved the Butterfly house and the boy loves the Otters. The other animals were rather quiet all except for the Otters. They wete rather showy. 

Aug brought us are first parade. It was the night out agenst crime day. There was a parade, blow up toys, snow cones, and candy. So much candy. The kida had a blast. We got wistles that we love to blow. 

Yes that is are garden cart. We use it as a wagon. The kids love it and so do I. It handles off road great.  Other than that we have been pretty good. It spent alot of time raining these past two weeks. It helped the garden plants to grow good. But we have had to be creative to keep from getting to board. 

We made some home made playdough. Had to use blocks to smash it. I cooked it a tad to long. But it worked, we dont have a basement. So when the truck is not in the garage. It is are extnded play space. We love chalk, it allows us to draw and color and sweep it up and do it all over 

We have been quite lucky this year and the short growing season. Are peas did a double take. And to keep with the Blaser side growing odd vegtables and fruit. I remember a tomato I got for my Birthday that had a nose growing out of it. To add my part I grew a pea that started growing a little pea from it

Over all its been a good few weeks. Its starting to cool down. We only had maybe a week of temps above 85 deg. Its been very nice. The diwn side is we uave tons of tomatos, but there not ripening as quickly. Hope there still yummy even if they have to ripen on the counter. 

Just some birthdays

  Hello. It has been a month of birthdays for us. We do birthdays twice a year. Really easy to remember two in July and two in March. Got some goodies, clothes, gift cards and I got plants. I love plants!! I was really lucky to spend alot of time around very experenced gardner. Learned alot and put it in to practice often   When we moved in I did some small planting. If were here next year I will take the community center up on there free dirt. 

The kids were excited to get new colors and some cake and cookie mix.  They are very intrested right now in helping cook and see what Man and I are up to. We do are best to let them help, hold and plant seeds mix the ingredents, pick up there messes. We are very lucky to have family that makes us feel very loved from so far away. 

My very old Iris roots. I will take them where ever we roam

My kids love rocks. I even have some of my greatgrand parents rock collection. It was funny whenan opened the box and had made a comment before about it feels like I packed rock.  I did forget my rock colection at my folks and my tumbler. Gonna have ro get that in yhe post to me soon

We got yummies to cook this next few weekends. 

Overall its been a very good month. School stars back up soon, will be more busy during the day with online classes but at least I have all my books. Hoping to get a partime at the commisary as well in there back room/ stalking dept.  the same work I did at Target for 8+ years just on a smaller scale. 

This is my kids play house. Its actuly is the pantry under the stairs. I love that they hung art work on the shelving

One for the family

I know the family misses us and we miss them. So this is for them. Jax has been very much wanting to be a grown up and be like daddy. Saying he leaves for his army work and goes and playes in my pantry. He like to cook pretend food in the pantry. So we got him an uniform from trooperclothing.com the local PX had uniforms for 20 bucks. Man went and got acoupple hats from the uniform area. There sizes run from 18 mos-kids 16. Now we have a hard time getting him to take it off. On the agenda for timorrow is sewing some cammo jammies for bed time. Yes I still sew and would love to go to semstress school, along with  CN and then to my LPN.   

Other than that we have been to the splash park and making people art. Later all

Well we made it

We were lucky to get some housing on base. Seeings that most places charge rent equell to BAH why not live on base and save some money not having to pay gas and elect. There is a comunity garden but it is quite a walk. We opted for planting in our yard and then spreading seed. 

We have peas climbing some yarn 

Tomatos, and some squash plants and a pumkin plant.  Are house has a very nice floor plan of the bed rooms up stairs with the two full baths and living,kitchen and  wash room down stairs. There are two parks less than half mile from the house and plunty to do. We are just enjoying are time waiting for school to start back up for the both of us. There was a slue of family actavties this week. We went to Alexandria bay had a boat ride around the thousand islands area. 

Enjoyed some icecream afterwords. This week ended with an activity at the local lake and bouncy toys.

A Well-Behaved Mormon Woman: Guest Post: Good News and Bad News on Motherhood: I woke up Monday morning, and as I usually do, lay in my bed, pondering. I soon found myself contemplating it being Mother's Day, this...

I enjoyed reading this post today.

Yeah Family time.

Well one thing the Army is good at is keeping us on our toes. We will be moving sooner than normal to are new home state. They decided that man needed to be there sooner and would not be hanging out with the Recruiters for two weeks. Now I'm  having conflicts. I honestly hope we can get on to base housing to save money. Between Gas for driving and Heat we could end up pretty broke for a bit. But we will survive, Man wished they would of pulled the married ones aside to tell them what order things need to be done and who to visit. He totally missed the finance dept, but at least he got to transport. Hope we can fix that at are gaining installation. We have been lucky in the health dept, hope it stays that way at least till we can get in to somewhere. It does suck to be sick in a home that is not your own. But Yeah were a family again for now!!! See you guys after we reach are destination

I was raised rant

My head feels like it could explode at the moment. I have been reading the laws for state that could become are home for the next few years. I hope for a shorter amount of time than a few. I know there are people out there that shouldn't have access to things like Guns, bows, knives, anything of the nature. But to treat everyone as a suspect and not allow them to have there items is wrong. I was raised to respect and love those items by an active duty police officer and gun lover , I even have a state issued CCL. To strait up tell me I cant  keep a hand gun in my home I find wrong, and the only reason I reside in your state is because my Loves work says so. Other than that I would avoid you like you have the plague. To pass your permits and test I stand little chance seeings its not my state of residence, and I will not change it because I want to continue to have my CCL in my home state and carry my handgun in any state that recognizes it I can leave it in the armory, or have a dealer pick it up to hold it, um no.  It drives me nuts that it has gotten that far, if must be they will be kept in the armory, if man wants to take any of them at all.  As for me This house is protected by the Good Lord and a gun. You may meet them both if you show up here unwelcome. So time to take the long guns out to practice.  Done must sleep kids will be up in 6 ish hours. The fact that people think they can legslate them selves safe is crazy, you are responable for your and your familys safety. No one else
