I went to town yesterday to do some shopping and such. Hannah's birthday is this Saturday so we got her birthday gifts as well as school shopping done. {Yay! Done!} Growing up, my grandma would take each grandchild out to lunch and then birthday shopping, just the two of them. I loved it. That's what I do with my kids now. They love being able to hear mom say, "Yes" when they see something they

Last night and tonight we're working in the snack shack at our local rodeo. It is really fun. Hannah and I take orders and such while Lance cooks burgers. Preston and Emma wander in and out to watch the rodeo or help us. Our friends run the shack and we have fun working in there. I also had to make a ton of cookies to sell at the bake sale for Preston's school. Busy days, this week. So I am

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a great weekend. We went to Jackson Hole, WY and had a great time. The kids, of course, loved the pool most. Check out our fun on Instagram and follow me for more.

Another week has come and gone.

Hannah is already counting down the days until school starts {42 days}. She misses her friends, mostly, but the girl loves school. I hope that continues.

We have been pretty floppy around here. By floppy, I mean drained. It is so hot and going to be triple digits this week in my area of Idaho. I have zero energy to do anything and even at night it's still at

Happy 4th of July {early}!

What are you doing to celebrate?

We are going into town for the festivities...parade, wild west shoot-out, bbq at my sis-in-law's, fun at the park and of course, a Shaved Ice or 4 since it's going to be blasted hot!
Also, Hannah will be singing in our town's version of America's Got Talent! She is such a brave girl to sing in front of hundreds of people. If she makes

How's your summer?

It's hot and windy and dry, dry, dry in my land.

It's quite frustrating.

Try watering the lawn with the wind blowing it into the air rather than the grass. It is really bad. The crops are  not getting the moisture they need and it just makes me kinda grumpy. As I am typing this, the news is on and the weather lady just said that it's a bit breezy. Ha. Try a freakin' hot

Holy Busy Summer, Batman!

We've started swimming lessons, Emma had her 4th birthday, Father's Day, gardening, blogging, etc.

I am half tempted to postpone TTT until school starts back up, but it's so fun seeing what everyone links up that I don't think I could do it. We'll see.



I have to show you Emma's pics that I took. She is too cute, if I say so myself.

























Yeah, we

Mandy's Recipe Box has undergone a re-design. I have been loving Ashton's DIY blog design tutorials and decided to remake my blog. I love the fresh new look. Thanks to Ashton for her smarts!

My little garden is coming along. I really want the zucchini and tomatoes to hurry and grow. Fresh veggies right out of your own backyard just can't be beat.

Summer Vacation is in full swing.

We've been having cook outs in the mountains, working on the vegetable garden, eating outside on the picnic table {which is just so much fun to our kids for some reason}, and coming up are swim lessons, camping trips, Hannah trying out for our town's version of America's Got Talent {she's quite the singer, I tell you. Not biased at all, she's really good!}and

Hello! I hope you all had a great Memorial Weekend. We went to the flag ceremony at our little cemetery where Preston got to participate in it for the first time.







We went up to Lance's family's land and had a cook out with his family and some good friends of ours. 

Nothing compares to the flavors of food cooked outside.



Now it's on to the show!

Holy smokes, I've been busy!
Yesterday, I washed everyone's bedding, did the laundry, washed all the windows on the house-inside and out, mowed the lawn, worked on Hannah's music for her school talent show, and made dinner somewhere in there.
I totally deserve a gold star.
Or one of each of the featured treats.

I almost forgot about TTT until last night.

I had to hurry and get it ready for you
