A day at the river

Walker and I decided since the weather was nice that we would pack a picnic lunch and go to the river and eat and feed the ducks/geese.

He had a blast throwing the bread and he made it all the way around the greenbelt, Im so proud of him!

The gaggle of geese in the flooded area of the greenbelt

The rainbow that Walker saw and made me stop and turn around to see, it is pretty awesome

Walker thought it was really cool to feed the geese and that the baby ones would walk close up to him to get the bread

Some of the greenbelt has flooded and the kids and ducks/geese alike are loving it

Yard Sale Woes

The big day arrived and the weather was beautiful, I couldn't have asked for a nicer day for a yard sale. We had managed to figure out how to turn off the sprinklers so our stuff didn't get soaked over night on Thursday, and we started setting up tables and putting out the items that wouldn't be damaged by the dew. Friday morning was amazing and people started driving up around 6:30, a little early but we had most of it out there for them to look at. Friday was a success and then we looked at the weather for Saturday.....tunderstorms.

Decided to play it by ear and woke up at 5 Saturday morning to cloudy skies but no rain, so the set up process began all over again. It was much slower on Saturday and we had to stop earlier than planned due to the rain (wasn't much but enough that it was getting everything wet).

It was an interesting experience, one that I don't care to relive again anytime soon.

Sayings of a 5 year old

After spending a few greatly needed hours with "the girls" , and talking about our kids and all the crazy things they say and do I remembered something that Walker said to me the other day and I just had to share it.

Walker- "Mom, you have the best job in the world"

Lisa- "Really, whats that?"

Walker- "Taking care of ME!"

What would I do without him????

Waiting for the sun

As ususal the weather here in Idaho has been rather dreary as of late. I keep waking up and hoping that the sun will be out and Walker and I can go to the park or just in the yard and play. I believe that the sun hates me.....ok so not really the case, and I am grateful for the rain (we always need the moisture) but, where are the lazy crazy days of summer???

One of the few nice days we had, we met friends at the park for a picnic lunch and "energy draining" activities.

While at the park they were getting ready to mow the grass and were pulling the picnic tables with a 4-wheeler, Walker thought this was really cool and stood and watched them for a little while

We decided to take advantage of the great special at the portrait studio at Walmart and have some much needed and overdue pictures taken. The quality of this is not the best as I don't have a scanner so, me being the dork that I am took a picture of the picture to upload here.

I can't believe how big he is getting, he can't wait for school to start. I'm not sure that I am ready for him to be old enough to be in school.

Walker is really enjoying the fact that this apartment has a yard, he is almost always asking to go outside to play, and has learned that he can as long as he follows the rules (no going in the street or across to the next building over and checking in every few minutes). He has quite the little farmer tan going already, I can only imagine what it will look like when summer is over.

For anyone that is in the area, we are having a huge multi-family yard sale on the 19th and 20th of June (next weekend YIKES!) Feel free to stop by and chat. I'm excited because maybe I will finally get rid of all that stuff that has been sitting in boxes for almost a year....lol

Rainy Days and Mondays

Ok I realize that it is really Tuesday, however the saying seems to fit the mood. The real Monday was dreary as well but Walker and I spent most of the day out of the house, we went and got his pictures taken and then saw Nana and Daddy at work, he loved it. My little ham is apparently only a true ham with the camera at home. After about 4 picutres he decided that he was done and didnt want to take anymore. I was able to convince him to take a couple more and even managed to get some good ones without the "cheeser" grin. I can't wait until they come in so we can finally get some updated picutres out to all of you very patient family and friends.

This last weekend they finally came over and mowed the lawn, we were so excited beause that meant that we could put up the kiddie pool and let the kids run around without fear of losing them in the tall grass and dandelion field. So Saturday night the pool went up and wouldnt you know it, the weather hasn't been nice enough to play in the water since......figures just my luck. 

We are getting ready for the huge multi family yard sale, the date is set, some of the stuff has been priced, and now Im praying for nice weather on the 19th and 20th of June. If anyone has any stuff that you would like to try to sell just let me know and we can get labels for you.

Walker wants me to go help him build a castle so Im off for now.
