My Favorite Place

Ashton Idaho

My grandma Larsen grew up in this cute farm house, and now her and my grandpa live there in the summers. It is one of my favorite places. We stopped by on the way to island park and had the greatest time eating, looking at the birds, playing with cousins who were also visiting, and admiring my grandpas huge garden.

A part of me wishes I grew up on a farm. I love to be outside, get dirty, wake up early, and work hard. Most of my friends who did grow up on a farm tell me I would not really like it, but I still think I would love to live on a farm in a small town like Ashton.

I love Jaxon in this picture. The kids were a mess (what's new?) but they loved every second of it!

Grandpa gave the kids rides around the property and garden. They were in heaven!

Ali May's Big Day!

Today Ali had her last day of Joy school. We did a picnic at the Park. Then tonight she had her performance for her tumbling class. She did awesome in her performance. I was afraid she would suck her thumb and hide in the corner, but she got out there with her class and did the whole routine!

Way To Go Ali!!!

Gardens

Last year after we planted all the seeds in the dirt I stood back and thought to myself, "I wonder if it will really grow." It did and produced a lot of food. We just finished planting our garden again last week and I thought the same thing. Will anything really grow? Well, I went out yesterday to see that the radishes have popped up!!! I also noticed the lettuce and cucumbers are starting to poke through and our strawberry plants are starting to blossom! (You can tell I planted the radishes because they are totally not straight)

What I love: warm blankets right out of the dryer

What I don't love: This crazy Idaho wind that never seems to stop blowing.

What I love: Weston playing quietly on the floor.

What I don' love: Jaxon sneaking an apple from the fridge- taking it into the living room- taking about 100 small bites and spitting each bite onto the floor.

What I love: Gardens

What I don't love: Wind. If it blows all my newly planted seeds away I will not be happy!

What I love: Getting a good deal.

What I don't love: Finding out I could have gotten a better deal.

What I love: 7:00 and Fridays

What I don't love: Waking up with Lynn already at work.

What I love: Dinner in the oven and laundry put away.

What I don't love: WIND.

Busy!

Life is great but super busy! I definitely look forward to when I can lay down at night and rest especially since Weston is sleeping so much better. He slept last night from 10:15 to 5:30. 7 hours is pretty good! He seems to have out grown his colic and is such a happy baby now. He smiles whenever he finds a face. I really want to buy a jumper for him. I think he is almost big enough to be in one and he is so interested finding new things. I have been looking on craigs list, but if you know of a good deal let me know.



Ali turned 4 on May 9th! Super crazy that I have a 4 year old. It seems like I just became a mother. She wanted blue pancakes for her birthday breakfast and a marshmallow cake. I did the best I could. We had her cousins over for the party.

I am sad that Danny got voted off American Idol last night. I was rooting for him, but now that he is out, I want Kris! I think it would be fun to have a party next week for the final. Let me know if you are interested!

For Sale

We have been trying to sell our car for a while, with no success. To be honest we have not tried that hard, but now I am going to start trying. It is ridiculous for us to have 3 cars when Lynn rides the bus to work most days. I really want to get rid of it, so if you know anyone who is looking for a low maintenance, reliable car that gets great gas mileage pass the word along. Here is some info:

Chevy Metro
Price $2,900 (or make and offer)
Mileage: 79,000
Year: 2000
