Thrill of the hunt

It is crazy how all the sudden life turns... well crazy! So much has been going on I find myself having a hard time keeping track of time and thinking...was just yesterday that we did that! Well one of the things we have been doing is hunting! The first trip was a few weeks ago my husband and I thought a little time together would be nice and what better way to do that in the outdoors, so my husband convinced his boss he needed to go hunting since it was the last day of the season and grandma took care of the kiddos and off we went for the day!

I started writing this post a couple of weeks ago and it has sat as a draft since. I thought things were crazy then! They have only become more so since that fist paragraph was written and this post is going in a completly different direction then what it was originally going to be about so the title probably won't make any since. The hunt we are on now is a house hunt!

Things have been crazy because we have since gone on a few more hunting trips as well as road trips and will be going on another to do a house hunt. Then after our return will pack everything up and do it again in a week! So in about three weeks we will have traveled about 6200 miles!

My husband had a phone interview for a job about 1000 miles from where we live now about a week later they wanted to an on site interview. So we drove our kids to Grandma and Grandpa's house then drove to where the interview was and then to get the kids again. So now to drive it again to find a house then again to move! We are looking forward to this new adventure!

Here is a few pictures from one of our hunts and from our travels

A project to Remember

I am so thankful today and every day for this line of our nations flag salute "One Nation under God" and also for the inscription on our money "In God We Trust". It seemed like an appropriate day for a little patriotic project with the boys.



As with most projects I attempt to do with a four year old and two year old "helping" as well they did not turn out perfect and only these two stars made it, but they had fun and it was good for me to remember again all those who have served/serve our country!

Kitchen Remodel in Progress

The kids and I just got back from a little trip to visit my mom and Dad while my husband was gone hunting. Just before we left I completed a project I have been wanting to get done! My kitchen counter tops have bothered me since moving in so I painted them!
