My life right now...

I really want to finish my blogging about ebay buying/selling but these boxes say it all.

Moving has taken over. this is our spare room... not so spare any more.

Meanwhile I am trying to not let the chaos take over my life and enjoy the little things like...

Thayne can creep

I finally realized my little man of nine months is a picky eater

This morning I figured out his favorite foods

Sweet Potatoes, Malt-o-meal, and applesauce

thats all he wants oh and he likes yogurt.

My serving of malt-o-meal...

or so I thought Thayne ate half of it!



The town had an Easter egg hunt but turns out it was a
candy hunt. Thayne picked up two candies

and he wouldn't even look at me.

Packing is going really good. We might be able to leave a day earlier than we thought.

I'm really tired of feeling like we are camping in our own home.

Don't worry as soon as everything settles I'll do all the ebay stuff.

I'm pretty excited to brag about it.

Here we go again...

I made the mistake of telling Adam I was envious that he lived in the

same house most of his life.

We moved, moved again, then moved, then said we were never moving,

then moved, then moved, then moved, (repeat)

This last year we almost bought a house.

Meaning we'd be in Minersville for a long time

Things didn't work out and we found out why.

We are moving

Adam is planning on going back to school to be a vet.

Which equals apartment living for at least 6 more years

It must be divinely appointed because I'm ok with it.

I have accepted the fact that I wont own a home and that I'll have to

continue being creative with my organizing.

I love this blog about simplifying

HERE

She has been an inspiration to me and given me a new insight on apartment living

although we probably wont ever be able to live in Italy (I wish)

we at least will not be attached to any area and wont have to worry about a mortgage for a while.

So Easter weekend we are off on our next adventure.

Welcome to the new mini van family

We got our mini van!!! Hurray!!!

Here it is our chevy uplander 2005...

Here is the DVD player

Power Sliding Doors...

basically we are loving it. To celebrate we went out to a cute little Hawaiian place

and had luau Pork it was so good.
For Minersville this is like an amazing car.

Chicken Pot Pie!!!

My first chicken pot pie!!!

It turned out pretty good. It was a little runnier than I wanted but I just looked at the recipe again and figured out why... I didn't put the flour in!

Here is the recipe:

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup flour

1/3 cup chopped onion

1 3/4 cup of chicken broth

2/3 cup of milk

2 cups cooked chicken (chopped into 1 inch pieces)

10 oz. package of frozen mixed veggies

1/2 tsp. of salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp celery seed (optional)

Pie crust

Blend together butter and flour over low heat until smooth and bubbly.

Remove from heat

Stir in chicken broth and milk or cream

heat to boiling

boil and stir one minute

Stir in the rest of the ingredients (besides the pie crust of course)

Place everything into the pie crust (which is in a pie pan I used 2 8" pie pans because thats what I had)

Bake at 350 for about 50 min. Put foil over top so it doesn't overbrown about the last 20 min.

Thank you Michelle for the recipe!

I did a homemade crust and it was amazing!!! Hope you enjoy!

God answers prayers!

Its been super, super dry here!

We've had a really hot winter. Which for Utah never happens.

We've been praying for moisture and well...

It came! Although I was enjoying the warm its very comforting to have some wet.

This pretty much sums up Sam and Vada's relationship

As for us in Minersville... we are snuggled up inside! Let it snow!

Just got our electric bill though... $166.53 ouch. Wish our house was better insulated.

Sew, sew, sew...

I have set a new winter goal to go through one bobbin every two days... so far so good.

These are placemats I have been working on. I'm thinking about have that plaid be the back.

What do you think?

The cutest little man ever...

Here he is almost 7 months old I can't even believe it. This is one of my favorite outfits on him

I thought I better get a picture before he doesn't fit in it! He can smile, laugh, roll from back to tummy and tummy to back. He recently learned he can wack things. So he does that often.

He also misses things when they are gone.

Which makes it hard when he finds something I don't want him to have.

Now your pretty much all caught up on us. We had a blast this weekend.

Heather & Ricky get married!!!

Heather Newman, a very good friend of mine got married this past weekend! It was so good to see friends and to gather at the Mt. Timp. Temple. Heather looked amazing in her wedding dress! Thayne did really good! I got to go to the sealing while Adam watched him and he just slept the whole time. Such a blessing!

Meanwhile back at the farm... I don't think I've talked about Minersville yet! Coolest little town ever! Heavenly Father seriously guided us here because I don't know how else we would have thought to move here. 800 people, closest Wal-Mart 40 miles, there is an elementary school, and believe it or not a city pool, no mail boxes (have to get a P.O. Box). Thayne and I are having a blast. Today nothing too exciting going on (it's cleaning day!)
