1st Boating outing of the Summer

We were so happy to take the boat out, the water was still really cold but with it being 96 degree's it felt great to be on the water again. We also got Chad and Tina on Skies!!! James did great on one and I am still stuck driving the boat...my hand is still not strong enough to ski!

Spring is Finally here.

We have this large crab apple tree (at least I think thats what it is) in our front yard. This year the blooms were so big and bright bright pink. I always tell James that nothing makes me happier than PINK Trees.

AHahah I Hate Bugs!

Everyone knows that I really hate Spiders, So when I found 7 Black widow spiders in our house last fall I had a fit. But that fit was nothing compared to the Panic attack that I had saturday morning when I walked into the Laundry room and found thousands of bugs in our laundry room. They were crawling out of the holes they had dug in the walls, coming up from the window seal and they were all over. I started screaming for James, he automatically assumed that I had found another spider but this site even startled him. They were all over. So he threw a few of them in a ziplock and I ran to home depot and bought every can of bug spray I could find...








Termites!!! Ya I know most of you think there are not Termites in Idaho...Well your right except for Fruitland and Payette. I still feel them crawling on me!!

Three for Thurdsay!

1. Fruitland has its own language. I suppose that Mackay does too, but as an "insider" I don't notice.

Fruitland Dictionary:

Perched-to be very thirsty also known as parched

Pacific-to give a detailed exact answer also known as specific

It has taken a me a year now to figure out what people are actually trying to say

2.

Big Boys wins Prize!

Okay so that wasn't the real headline but chad and jim did make the paper after we attended a fundraiser auction to raise money for breast cancer awareness. The basket was in honor of angie and they raised $2300 in raffle tickets. Chad won the basket full of breast cancer awareness items but since nothing would fit him and pink isn't really his color he donated it back to that we can raise more money for breast cancer. The 2nd weekend in June is "walk for life" all of us will take turns walking for 24 hours straight in honor of Angie.

3. Mothers are the BEST. Mothers day is such a great time of year to enjoy the warmth of spring and to BBQ and spend time together with family, and its really great because we get to reflect on just how wonderful Mom's are. I have been so lucky to have such a great mom who has also become a great friend. I also have wonderful grandmothers, I have been so lucky to have been able to grow up with 4 grandmothers watching my every move, and now I have added a wonderful mother in law who I could never thank enough for raising such a wonderful son. I love all of you MOMS!!
