Yard Sale Time!

As most of you already know, I went to Blanding on Monday to get our things out of the little house. And check out all of the new dishes I now have! I also have a new broom that I was really excited about because the one I have been using is all taped together, it was falling apart so bad. So, now I just need to run all of these dishes thru the dishwasher. And go thru all of the dishes to see what I can sell at the next yard sale. Make me some money! :)

Kind Of Funny...

Jenny asked if Azey was afraid of bears when we are camping. And its kindof funny cuz she doesnt even mention bears while we are camping. And she has no problem hiking around, within safe distance of course. But when we are at home and get into bed at night she swears that there is a bear under the bed or just anywhere in the house. Now, a funny story, or maybe kindof sad. As we were driving thru the mountain on our way home from our last camping trip, Azey was sitting in her seat belt, quietly coloring. After she was done with her picture she told us all about it....
"This is a bear and this is me. And this is what I look like after the bear eats me"!!

I tried finding the picture but I dont know what I did with it.

Im Still Laughing!

First of all a few facts...So, we are in the middle of a rain/lightening/thunder storm right now. Azelin has Kamber over for a sleepover. And they are both afraid of bears. A few minutes ago the thunder was so loud it rumbled the whole house. I was in putting Ethan to bed, but I could hear Azelin and Kamber run out of the toy room and into the living room. As they are running I hear them both saying frantically, "hurry, hurry, its a bear!" hahaha! Then you hear Azey say, "Get under the blanket, fast, so we can hide from the bear!" hahaha! Boy would they be screwed if it really had been a bear.
