Well, I guess it's been a year and a half since I posted last (I'll 
just leave it at that instead of trying to make excuses) and a whole lot
 has happened since then.  We bought a house (about 10 min. outside of 
Flagstaff) in January of this year, and started homeschooling our kids 
(after at least a year of thinking about it) shortly after moving in.  
It's been a good change.  The past 6 months have brought a lot of growth
 and learning for all of us.  Being together all the time (especially in
 a smaller home) can be trying at times but it definitely brings us 
closer.  I am so thankful for my kids and that they are so quick to 
forgive my faults and shortcomings, and for Wade who has been so 
supportive and patient.  There is no better man than him!  I sure do 
love these amazing individuals and I feel very blessed that they are my 
family.
Enjoy all of the pictures below and I will be sure not to wait 18 months to post my next entry. :-)

Our first garden! :-)  So rewarding!!  Gardening is my new passion!  My dream is to have a big kitchen garden one day.  There's just something about the color green don't you think?
