Use to be..

I have been looking back on my blog and I must say it has been kind of disappointing. Bittersweet at times. I feel like we use to do so much, and get together more often, and do more things. Or maybe we did other things... This post may ramble and it may not even make sense. Maybe I took more pictures or made more of an effort to document our life, but lately I don't want to dress Ethan up for cowboy day, I'm forcing myself to plan a graduation party for him. For Liv I couldn't wait to have all the friends (Jake, Joe, and Sara) over for an end of the school party. Then that night I had a girls slumber party/game night. Where is my enthusiasm?? I usually have a passion for something. I don't just sew, but I make a quilt, I don't just garden but I plant /can 78 tomato plants and raise chickens. If I paint, I paint desks, and tables, and rooms! So usually it is not hard for me to find a passion and throw myself into it but I feel a bit "unenthusiastic". I'm halfheartedly gardening, halfheartedly enjoying the chickens, halfheartedly doing the preschool thing... I am taking a long summer break, and hope to find a spark for the upcoming year.

So have we changed so much?
glance through my school tab and see what our use to...use to look like...

The Aftermath

When I decided at 8am on Easter morning that I would go and spend Easter dinner with Rhonda. This is what happens. Church was at 10:45 and I needed to make a chocolate ganache cake, a ham, mashed potatoes, and get all of us ready!! I walked out the door with my kitchen looking like this!





And Hannah and Maddy came home and cleaned it for me at the end of the day!! Angels, I tell you!!

Easter 2011

My parents had the stomach bug for Easter so we spent it with our other family. Church with friends, then lunch with Aunt Rhonda and a pool easter egg hunt, then off for a evening egg hunt with the some more friends. A fun and busy day!! I should post a pic of my kitchen ;)
