Loving Life in Idaho

June 20th, 2009~ well, this is probably a bit boring, but I will update,nonetheless, for those of you that actually care about what I am doing...hehehe...and I know you are out there! The kids and I have been home for a week now. I have been working on the house, enjoying the beginning of summer, lots of rain, gentle breezes, the wind chimes, lots of peace and quiet, for the most part ;-) I am actively working my Arbonne business and just enjoying life in general. I have been cooking quite a bit this week and just enjoying all the domestic pleasures of being able to work from home. I love sitting on the patio in the sun while having lunch and I am even enjoying all the weeding because I like to see the finished product :-) I am eternally grateful for my fabulous friends who have spent much time hanging out this week. I am so blessed with the relationships in my life. There has been lots of laughter and love in my life and I am enjoying life much, back to my blog title, Loving Life in I

June 8th,2009 with Grandma Colette, Donovan, Cassidy, Morgan, Emily and Little Victor Me and my mom :-) Ooops, this is not the California trip, but this is an Arbonne photo taken in January, 2009 Me, June 6th, 2009 at Grandma Colette's house My Beautiful Daughters June 6th, 2009 Taken at Grandma's house in Perris, CA

Victor, Emily and Faith (Em's friend) Okay, I am making up for not blogging much in a while ;-) My mom and dad came to Morgan's 5th grade graduation this morning and it was so nice to see them there. Later when I got home with the kids, my mom had put a bunch of balloons in the house and had an ice cream cake on the counter, popcorn, chips and salsa. It was bittersweet. Most of you know that I have really been having issues with my parents lately. So, I called Dad and asked if they were coming over to celebrate or not and he said no. So, on one hand so sweet and on the other, so incredibly painful. Why am I blogging this? I don't know.

Morgan's last day of elementary school June 3rd, 2009 Mom with Victor and Morgan at Ponderosa Elementary

Wow, time flies, that has been my theme for months, maybe years now ;-) Tomorrow, we will leave for California. So, today is the absolute and utter chaos of the last day of school, all kinds of programs and assemblies and the graduation of Morgan from the fifth grade. Tomorrow, we will leave at 4 am and drive a very long drive to California. I am not looking forward to the drive since I have never made such a long drive without another adult driver. I am looking forward to having time with the kids and seeing many of you! My family and friends :-) Can you believe by tomorrow night I will be in Southern California? The first night we will be staying at Dennis and Dee's house. Here's the schedule: Thursday, June 4th, leave 4 or 5 am drive all day. Spend night at Dennis' Friday, June 5th, visit Jim and Linda Roche in Rancho Cucamonga drive to Grandma's house to spend the night on Friday night :-) Saturday, June 6th: all day at Grandma's house, big family gathering Sund

I must admit, I have been feeling extremely sentimental lately. We are in the process of transferring all of our videos from the last 10 years onto DVD's. I am so grateful to have these videos!!! They are precious. I can't believe how little the kids were, how sweet their little voices are. I keep crying because I miss being the mother of little children so very much! oh, well, I guess it is time to just wait it out for grandchildren! I am willing to wait a good long time for that :-)
