hello, I've missed you! It has been almost an entire month since my last post, it is not because I don't have anything to tell you about, it is because I haven't had a free moment. (as the matter of fact, I am sneaking this one it right between a homeschool bookshelf painting project and picnic lunch/snow cone/pool party in the back yard-so let's get rolling)
We drove Dad home to Klamath Falls after fathers day and spent a few days there, the weather was gorgeous and we had a great time. There is a park with a little wading pool and we went there every day and followed it up with dipped cones at Dairy Queen, now every time we see a sign for Dairy Queen, the girls beg for them, and then ask to go swimming--funny how we are so easy to program. We ended that trip with our 300 mile drive home (first time alone with just me and the girls) it took just around 7 hours (which is really good if I do say so myself!) we all survived, but it left me questioning my judgement--no time to get too worked up about it though-we had to pack for our all girls camping trip....
After 2 nights at home, we set out again for a coast camping trip with my friend Erika and her kiddos. Together we had 2 crazy mamas, 2 diabetics and 2 preschoolers (um, looking back, maybe I should have thought a little harder about this) When we talked about it camping, Erika remembers that this big trip was my idea, I remember it being her idea (not that we are trying to place blame, but-haha) We actually had a fantastic time (didn't even get frost bite or eaten by bears or anything!) and I came home feeling exhausted but strangely empowered like, once again, I had done something new, and came away from it with a new knowledge and strength.
When we voted at the end of the trip, the camping food walked away with all the awards, although, it wasn't really a surprise with all the marshmallows, cool whip, chocolate and ice cream that we consumed. Mama's know how to eat.
We got home and were even more exhausted than when we left (big surprise) and had to sleep, do laundry and pack our bags again for our big family river retreat. I think we got 2 more nights at home in our beds (or maybe it was just one, I can't quite remember now-things are a bit blurry)
The girls are getting pretty good at road trips, we made it to Gold Hill in about 7 hours this time and had a great weekend with my family, and the 4th of July was a special day when my friend Justin showed up with his raft and took us out on the white water for the day. Every one had a good laugh when he made me get in the front and be a "hood ornament" while he drove head first into a monster wave and put 3000 gallons of the river straight up my nose. (thanks Justin).
After the weekend, mom took us back to Klamath for the night where we would catch the train to Sacramento out on Monday.
Monday was great we met Racheal and my mom for a fancy lunch in Klamath and then we went to see "UP", it was ok, Maggie thought the dogs were kind of scary, and Lanie wanted to leave about half way through. (but we bribed them with ice cream and were able to make it through)
We caught the train at 10:30 or so to ride it 9 hours through the night and arrived in Sacramento at 6 am with Aunt Debby waiting for us! Auntie Retta showed up from Missouri the very next day and we had a whole week of lounging in the sun, splashing in the pool, playing with cousins and eating like kings (or queens as the case may be). It was so nice to have some down time, I read 3 books, and even got to sleep in a couple of the days. It was sad and hard to say good bye when it was time for us to catch the train home at midnight on Sunday. (YES! midnight-I think I am crazy after all) We had upgraded to a sleeper car for the 17 hour trip home, so we got to board in first class, and the girls settled right in for the long night. There wasn't much room in our little closet, but it was cozy, so I was able to doze a bit. I woke up when the conductor said we were coming up to Klamath Falls and we were ahead of schedule, so we were having an unscheduled break there for an hour. I called my folks and woke up the kids (looking back, this was a bad idea) and we got to get out and have a nice early morning visit with them at the station. When we re-boarded we went and had a yummy breakfast and napped and played and read all day (all the long long long day) until we finally made it home around 5pm.
I was more exhausted than ever (haha-ok, maybe not, but it literally took me about 3 days of just chilling here to even feel partly human again).
So there you have it-my month at a glance-Alan has put a moratorium on travelling and even doing much of anything at all, saying that weekends belong to him and he wants to sit under the tree (ok, well I have paraphrased, but basically-that's the idea). I have a couple of free weeks coming up, we are working on some homeschooling projects (book case for our class room) and splashing in the pool, before we host summer company and go to camp and have a big party and paint the classroom and.....well, you get it.
see ya soon!

summer is here!
Yesterday was a big day here, it was fathers day and summer solstice. My dad came over to celebrate the occasion with our family, and we took a day trip to check out Mt. St. Helens. It was a really fun day, and the girls had a great time-we learned a lot. This is a cool attraction because there are little visitors centers about every 30-45 miles along the way up, so there is tons to see and do if you have enough time (and money). We watched movies about it, checked out tons of gift shops (finally choosing treasures of a bag full of magnetic hematite and a tiny wooden bug in a nut with wiggle legs). Hours later when we finally reached the Johnston Ridge lookout (the closest you can get from the side we went to) the mountain was cloaked in a big foggy cloud and we could only see her feet. They were majestic. We wanted to go into the visitors center and check it out, but at $8 per person, we took in the fantastic view, observed a friendly chipmunk and hit the road back. It was a great day, and a fun time was had by all (until it was bed time and we had to reassure Layla no less than 10,000 times that the volcano was not going to erupt without warning and if it were to get active again, we would, certainly, go stick it out at Aunt Debby's until all danger had passed) Poor thing cried herself to sleep, it is a big job to take on a volcano's worth of worry all on your own.
Today we were planning to go check out Bonneville dam and visit the giant (Jurassic) sturgeon there, but tomorrow we are headed to Klamath to take Dad home, and we decided that too many long days in the car would work against us in the end. So instead, today we are laying low, getting in some good quality time. We started up our homeschool this morning, and right now, Dad is out on the deck needle felting with the girls. (he made me an angel-awwww!) We have some errands to run, then packing, then tomorrow we are off to spend a few nights in Klamath where we plan to catch up with some old friends, meet a baby, and take our sketch books into the woods for a botany lesson with papa-the girls just love him so much!
When we get back, we have one free day, then Layla and a friend are having a booth at a local recycle fair where they are going to teach other children how to make toys out of recycled household products and possibly earn some money for the things they have been making all year. Layla is so excited she can hardly stand it. (pause to catch my breath) Then on Monday we are headed out with another mama and her kiddos for a camping trip at the coast for 2 nights. in a tent. with 2 diabetics and 2 preschoolers. Funny thing is that I am not really nervous about any of it and getting pretty excited. I am sure there will be plenty to tell after we survive these next couple of weeks, so until then......

remember me?
I have a horrible memory. I think it may be genetic, or possibly some kind of self preservation that my mind does for me without asking first. When I think back, I remember lots of things, things from my childhood, even up to being a young adult-then it gets a little fuzzy. The memory loss seems strangely to correspond with my 25th birthday, which, in and of itself is still a nice strong, young and lively age to be. It also happens to be about the time I started having kids. I am pretty sure this is when my brain turned itself off (for my own protection) and refused to hold any more memories. I just block things out. (note to self: start taking more pictures) Luckily I have the kids around now to remind me of everything I need to know that has happened during the last 6 years.
Sometimes the kids remember things that you honestly think never actually happened, around here, they probably did and I just don't remember. Now to my credit, I do remember some things, and most of all of the REALLY important things, but also we really do lots of stuff, so you know I am creating more memories than say, the shut in across the street, or the mumbling homeless guy in the wal-mart intersection.
Anyway, the other day Layla gets all excited remembering that we used to make peanut butter play dough (I remember this one!) and is trying to share the recipe with a friend. We love nuts around here, salted, buttered or otherwise, and especially when they are used in cool fun projects like mixed media collages or even better-YUMMY SNACKS!
without further ado I give you:
PEANUT BUTTER PLAY DOUGH
1 1/2 c. peanut butter
3/4 c. powdered milk
3 tbsp. honey
Mix all ingredients together. Play with it. Eat it!
alternate (non dairy) version
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
4-6 oz. corn flour or corn meal
Combine together peanut butter and honey. Add the corn flour until it reaches the desired consistency.

little darlin'
it's been a long cold lonely winter..........it's all right, here comes the sun.
Just wanted to check in and let you know that we are all doing well. We are incredibly busy and enjoying the nice weather, and have not had a free moment.
This last week we did something exciting-we had a friend come stay with us that we had never met in person before-I only knew her from etsy (we are both in a natural children's toys team). Come to find out, we are like long lost friends and we had a fantastic time, showing her all around the area and all of our favorite places. Living like a tourist is hard work!
We went to the coast this weekend and Maggie loved it! Really, she LOVED it, she chased sea gulls, dug sand pits, waded in the surf (even did a face plant where she had to spit out a mouthful of sand) but refused to act cold or wet so we wouldn't make her get out. I was thinking back on it and realized that she had never been to the beach. Well, we went once for Layla's 3rd birthday, but there was a snow storm, so we just sat inside by the fire place and watched the waves crash out our balcony window. (It was super cool, but not really beachy) I can't believe that this is even possible since Alan and I love the ocean so much, but then thought back and came to realize that we have been crazy busy for years. How did that happen? We are making a definite effort to go more often, hopefully starting later this month with a camping trip.
Home school update-Layla got all 3 classes that she wanted for the fall, so we are really excited about that. This school year officially ends on the 18th, but I think the girls have already checked out. I'm not actually sure how much learning they squeeze in during these last few weeks anyway, it's probably hard to concentrate on anything during "crazy hair, pajama, bring your dad and teddy bear to school day" anyway.
Tomorrow I am hosting a dozen of my friends for poker night and then off to visit some friends for the weekend about 3 hours down the road, so another busy one--seems like summers work out that way. Layla has big plans for fathers day, and then a Klamath trip, then camping, and then.....in between it all we have to find time to sit in the yard, splash in the pool, fire up the grill, sing around the fire pit, consume mass quantities of barley pop, watch movies on the barn, and spend time with our favorite friends, speaking of that--if you ever get a free minute-swing on by, we'd love to have you!

the weight
we have been struggling with some diabetes issues as of late, (too many to be comfortable with), the thing that strikes me is the feeling in my heart. It is a heavy weight. I tried to explain it to Alan the other night-but it hard to get the right words to express a feeling. Like love, how could you possibly tell someone how it feels, they won't understand. Or pride or jealously or even bliss. Sometimes there are no words. I love to write-it's what I do, so it is hard for me when words fail, like I have no where to go. It feels like the first time you realized that love could fail-way back in 7th grade when it became clear that the boy of your dreams was really a creep, or when you hear really bad news, or when you lose a friend. It is a heavy leaden lump, and it stays there, with no remedy, and drags you down. You find yourself lying on the floor (it is the only safe place, you can't get hurt there, you can't fall further) until you somehow find the strength to drag yourself up again, and rejoin the fight. It is what you must do, it is your job and honor, but it is so hard. And the weight is so heavy. When it gets late, the darkness is soothing somehow, and I find time to write with a pen on paper, it helps me to move forward, even if the steps are small, it is still forward motion, and this small action helps me remember that I am alive and necessary. Sometimes it gives me courage, but sometimes it just makes me cry until I can fall asleep.
the other night this is how I felt:
all burdens are heavy
but the heaviest ones, it seems
are the burdens that you shoulder for others
self pity is unseemly and unattractive and repellent
and when I think of the loads that others bear
it shames me to think that my lot is heavy and cumbersome
when I know it is but a small piece of what some have to weather
and yet still, the weight is there
and the fear and responsibility
and the reality
it almost seems like too much
but then there is the reward
of a sunny smile or a tight hug
or any number of amazing things
and I know why I have to do it
it is my job, my heart, my love
there are no guarantees but one
and so I continue on
and pray for a miracle
and I am so thankful that my true love is by my side
together we are stronger than either one could be alone
but we can't know if it is enough
we are losing this game
and yet we must go on.
This life is not fair.

here we go
so the idea is to post more to keep myself accountable. Looks like February 11th until today, May 21st went screaming by with no posts, and tons of stuff has happened-believe me! Maybe that's why I haven't had time to share-too much stuff.
Here's the latest, and then to be honest, a break because it is spring (almost summer) and we are outside most of the time (and in the evening when I am in, we are having beer and playing and not on the computer) BUT the plan is to blog away starting in the fall-so stay tuned for that!
ok-the latest:
My sister came here and lived with us for a few months, she is now off onto the next adventure, which currently looks like it involves PSU and possibly some kind of library.
Alan had gnarly foot surgery to fix some bunion business (who knows) and had to wear a robo-boot for an entire life time (it was spooky) finally got that sucker off and is healing nicely and wearing regular shoes again (but with shorter toes)
March was my birthday month, it was rad. (I am older now) My best friend moved away and it was the saddest thing ever (besides all the times when the complete wrong person wins survivor-that is also very sad)
April was Maggie's birthday, she is 4 now, and tells everyone. (apparently it's a big deal) Layla sang in a concert at school with all of the other kindergartners-if you haven't been to one of these, I highly recommend it-6 year olds are awesome! (and amazingly good singers, but the dancing/hand motions and stuff were priceless)
We went to DISNEYLAND for the first time ever-the girls were in Heaven! Really, it was so so fun (I was a skeptic, but the almighty Diz won me over, I am amazed!) and then Alan and I braved the swine flu and headed to Mexico. We were the only people in the entire country, so that helped us to not get infected. (Plus as my doctor advised me, Disneyland was more of a risk than Mexico due to the high germ/people count there.) Anyway we made it home safe and sound (later to come down with strep throat!) and take months of antibiotics. (eep!)
Then, my cousin Alora came to visit for a short bit and we had a great time, she hasn't been here in years. She helped me get my garden planted and we had a great time just relaxing and getting to hang out. The sun was out every day she was here!
We enrolled Layla in a homeschooling program for next year (have I gone completely nuts?!?) and between the doctors and dentist appointments and seed planting and house projects, the time is just disappearing. This weekend we are hoping to get our front steps in (finally!!!) and basically just get to spend some family time together and finish up some random projects (there really are so many, it's hard to know where to begin)
Next weekend is the Hockinson fun days celebration here in our little community, we love to go, and then I am having a friend come to stay from Missouri for a bit and another big weekend party for some local friends!
I am tired and bug bit (from so many nights out late by the fire pit) but really enjoying myself, it is so nice to have a house and the yard is shaping up---summer is promising to be the best one yet! (I will let you know!)

time to start again!
so it is almost mid February already, and I just realised that I haven't blogged since November. Wow, time flies. We had a great Thanksgiving, joining my family at the Rogue River for food, fun and family time, this is a new tradition and is the plan from now on I believe for everyone who can make it. Christmas was really amazing this year too! We tried not to spend much money and had almost an entirely hand made Christmas, we all really loved everything we got and appreciated it so much, especially the lack of plastic and packaging! The girls have had about a weeks worth of "snow days" so far-including one yesterday-when there wasn't any snow. (Makes me wonder if maybe they just needed a midweek break!)
My sister decided that living in England and studying physics wasn't her cup of tea (oh-I am a riot!) so earlier this month, she moved back here and is staying in the loft-it is temporary, but she is paying rent, so that is a big help.
Valentines day is quickly approaching (which is one of my very favorite holidays of the entire year, barely eclipsed by Christmas and Blochtoberfest) so we are getting ready and excited for that. For years now, I have had a valentines day tradition with my friend Erika (she loves vday too!) we would do some fancy girly thing, so we would have a great time and let our men off the hook. (side note; boys DO NOT understand valentines day. They get all worried and anxious about the right present or what to do for dinner, when all the while, we are just happy to be in love and think it's cool to celebrate it) Anyway, every year we do something, when we had kiddos, they started coming with us, and this year, the big day falls on a Saturday, so the whole gang is coming. Mom and Dad are even coming up and we are going to eat at Benihana-which is Japanese food that they cook on your table, it is fun and so delicious, followed afterwards by big piles of strawberries back at Erika's house with little shortcakes, cool whip and chocolate to dip it in. Sounds dreamy right-what's not to love?!
The shop is doing well, there haven't been many sales lately, I guess it isn't candle season. I am working on some new things and can't wait to bring them into the shop. BuzzHandmade will soon be carrying more goodies made with bee products for you and your home, so that project has been keeping me pretty busy. (stay tuned)
The sun has been peeking out a couple of days a week, so we have been able to take walks, play outside (in the mud) and start getting excited about our garden. So far we have done the clearing out and cleaning up, we even bought some neat new seeds, but we really can't wait for the days when the sun comes to stay and we get to be outside more. We have big plans for this summer-there is a Disneyland trip, Mexico, camp outs, rafting plans, bonfires, parties, and of course just making time to visit and play with friends. Hope to see you soon!
