Update


I know i have been terrible about blogging lately. My apologies. All I can say for myself is that life is crazy. Every free minute i have i have been writing. My first novel The Amulet is being released Dec 2012- on ebook the 1st and then in print on the 15th with Whiskey Creek Press. I am so excited.

It seems like allergies are already taking a toll on our family. Every single member is dealing with them this year.

The kids have about 3 1/2 weeks of school left. I am not sure who is more excited for them to be out, them or ME! I am traveling about 3 1/2 to 4 hours depending on the day just to take them all to and from school. It is so annoying.

We have been working hard on our garage and getting organized inside and out. Someday, someway i will park in my garage.

Thurs Sky-Lynn turned 11. We had a great day with her and she was partied out by the end of the day. This weekend she is spending it with her family and we made a day trip to St. Helens. It was alot of fun. We went to the Medina’s house and then we all went down to the docks. They have a great park there. The kids played and the adults talked. Bella and Christian passed shy smiles back and forth. Normally they have found the nerve to speak but Grant had Christian read a application about dating his daughter. It is not for the faint of heart. Poor boy. I tell you I am glad my dad never found it.

Coos Bay


Sat we went to Coos Bay OR- It was such a fun day- we saw a island with hundreds of seals-crazy. The kids loved it. We came home early because Isabella went to her first boy/girl dance. Yes I know it should be against the law but she looked beautiful and danced with 4 boys. I still need their names and numbers :(

This week is filled to the brim with appt’s. Doctors, dentist and orthodontist. But on a happy note i finally was able to send in the information for my cover art to begin on my book. I should know my release date soon-can’t wait!

Happy Birthday Isabella


Wow! I can’t believe that your 14! I still remember the moment I first saw you. We are so blessed to have you in our family. You are smart, caring, strong, talented, beautiful on the outside and on the inside. I know that Heavenly Father has great plans for you. We love you!

Easter Weekend


We had a great time this weekend! We had our first ever overnight guests. We have only had our family show visit us. We had the Medinas some of our dear friends from St. Helens for the weekend. It was so much fun. i felt like I was on vacation! We can’t wait until the next visit.

There will be more pics to come when my computer hates me less.

The last two days have been crazy. We received over 9 inches of snow. Followed by no power and no water. Makes me grateful that we have been preparing for emergencies. The kids have been having a blast.-minus the no tv.
