bitter sweet

 I just found out my dad is selling the house we grew up in! It is bitter sweet...I really never thought this day would ever come. I have had the same address and phone number for the last 29 years.  It will be different to go visit in a totally different house.

 I use to play on the green box with the neighborhood kids. That was our meeting spot under the big tree!

 I took a picture of our street, because all of my firsts happened here.

We have always had the same neighbors, the Jackson's across the street!

It will be so different to not drive up prune hill and turn on 22nd ave!

 

 

30th Birthday

 Adisyn and Kadyn in trouble again...these two are trouble!

 My day started off not so great! The kids wouldn't stop fighting...Ashlyn wouldn't believe me that it was my birthday. She came in with her arms crossed and said, "quit saying it's your birthday!" I received a couple phone calls and Ashley and my mom said let me talk to her. I gave Ashlyn the phone and she talked to them. After a minute she hands the phone back to me and says in a quiet mean voice..It's still not your birthday!

 Ashlyn and Kadyn decided to rub my feet. It felt like heaven. Kadyn said, "Can I do this everyday for you mom!" My response well of course you can!

 Brandyn and the kids made me home made peanut butter and chocolate brownies. It sure was good!

I can't believe I am 30! Never thought I would be this old!

rare occasion

 All my kids getting along at the same time! I had to take a picture so it would last longer.

I know it is hard to see but every morning this squirrel and blue birds fight over bird seed! The blue Birds won't let any other bird join in!

hiking

 We went and hiked the waterfalls. Do you like Kadyn's outfit!

 We had a picnic and ate lunch

 We went and hiked more to see gardens and ponds.
