Your Idaho is Showing

Val hasn't been in her birth state for 12 years and apparently she doesn't care either. She wishes she was born in Arkansas or Copenhagen-crazy girl. The only saving grace is that when people tease her at school asking her if she is from "I-DA-HO" she says yes;) she said that joke has been around forever, but NickNorton the magician at Silverwood is using it every day in his performance. Pretty funny, that guy! We went to see his show both days. Funny little fact, he is Gary Norton's son. Gary Norton built Silverwood. We stayed all day both days at Silverwood, and went from dry rides in the morning to afternoon wetness at the water park. I enjoyed floating the lazy river, and wished the 21 and over bar was open the 2nd day. The weather was perfect. We had a few moments of showers but then it cleared up. The first day I encouraged everyone to ride "Thunder Canyon" right away, not knowing we would all be completely drenched the rest of the day. Everyone was quite frustrated. I just thought it was funny, and it felt great to be wet and cold, rather than hot and sweaty;) Everyone had a great time! We found a cute little town by our campground called Bayview. We were able to get up in the early morning, drink coffee, wash clothes and let Mark work at Ralph's Internet Cafe. We did end up eating one cooked meal by Kat at the campsite. Jeremy is hilarious. He would take 50 minute showers just so he could "get his monies worth since he had to pay for his site." Silly boy!

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
