This little number forced ,me
to confront my fear of removing
the stitch finger from my serger
so I could finish this garment with
a narrow rolled hem on the
overlay. I must say things
went well untill the last 6 inches
when my thread broke. It
made me have potty mouth.
I recovered quickly as I
was on a tight deadline.
Lucky for me I was able to
re-thread quickly and figure
out how to begin again without
causing any damage to the dress.
Glad it's done. There was
a matching Pink one too.
This is really an orange color
but came out rose tinted in the
pictures.

Tonight Nate is in Prescott
after a long drive and it's
snowing on him.
My parents are at the
Eagle's concert. Chase talked
with my parents by phone, you
know how they can't go a day
without seeing him or talking
to him.
I texted my parents to update
them on Grandma and my mom
called back to relay a funny
conversation she had with
Chase earlier.
When Chase had talked to Nate
earlier, Nate mentioned he was in
RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. My mom
asked Chase if his dad had left yet
and Chase told her yes that he was
"in hour" she asked if Nate was in the
shower and Chase said ya, in
"the hour"
so mom asked again and
Chase gave the same
reply. After a few times and both
of them getting impatient with
each other, mom finally figured out
that Chase meant "RUSH HOUR"
not "in hour" or "in the shower".
You have to know how my mom and
Chase interact with one another to
understand how this could happen.
Chase frequently miss
states odd words
like that and my mom,
well that's my mom...

This "Finger of Satan"
as Nate calls cactus attacked
Chase last night at the
Father-Son overnighter.
Nate said Chase was off
playing, tripped, fell into
a bush and BAM...
his poor little hand landed
smack on this very piece
of cactus. It was impaled
in his hand from the tip of his
finger to his forearm...OUCH.
This little guy stumbled
into cactus 2 weeks ago.
The sad thing is that
The sad thing is thatNate said you couldn't see
any other cactus for a mile
and my sweet boy just happened
to find the only piece around...
crazy kid.

I don't want to be one of those
crazy, anal moms, so I have
given in and Chase had decided
not to play the piano anymore.
While this makes me sad, I can
live with it.
SO BERTHA HAS TO GO...
Know anyone who wants to
buy a Piano????? Send them
my way.
Between school, cub scouts, baseball

There are games, 4 reading levels,
it will even read to your kiddos,

My picutures aren't in order
so as I bounce around our Easter
weekend bare with me...
Here is Chase's poor leg. You can see
some of the dozens of poke
marks and bruises from
the Cholla Cactus that attacked him
first thing Friday night.
It was the worst thing to hear,
your child screaming in pain,
terror and panic. Nate was so
worried about him that he
just grabbed the big clumps
of cactus with his hands, because
Chase was in so much pain.
I had him say a prayer while
dad and Nate were removing
the cactus and needles from
his leg. He calmed down right away.
Later that night we had a
good laugh around the
camp fire. Chase didn't think it
was to funny. I don't blame him.
Here is Addison holding
Here is Addison holding
the snake that her big brother
Andrew killed. The other 2
triplets wouldn't touch it.
They found the snake
when they went to search for
who was screaming for help
behind us in a wash.
Some of our family heard the
cries for help but never found anyone.
They managed to call 911
we later found out, but they
didn't find them either.
Here is Andrew the snake killer.
Chase and the kids hunting
Easter Eggs in the wash
where I hunted Easter Eggs
as a kid.
All the kids anxiously
waiting for the signal to
head out and hunt eggs.
Not sure why this is in here,
love the Girly Girl Fabric Line.
Can't figure out how to delete the picture.
Poor Nate with his swollen
right eye. This was 2 days
later and at least he could see out
of it by then. He was taking
a walk up the mountain with
Addie and Chase when all
the sudden he was attacked
by a very aggressive bee.
Fortunately, they made it down
safe. Nate found a large hive
in a cactus they had walked by.
Chase, Easter moring with his
easter basket. Yep, the Easter
Bunny found him all the way out
in the desert.
Not sure why this is tipped
but not the way I loaded the pic.
Chase and dad on the quad.
Chase lived on this thing. He put
about 60 miles on it this weekend.
The 5th wheel. Nate and I
slept in our tent. Dad, Mom and
Chase stayed in the Desert Hotel.
Gram can't leave home without it.
Chase resting in our tent.
It was a crazy funny weekend.
I'd have to write a mile on
this blog to fit all that happened
in...we had another great
Easter...thanks family for the
priceless memories...
