Ireland

Oh my busy!
Is anyone out there?
Life has been incredibly busy with adoption papers, girls camp, and preschool.
But I am here, to get caught up.

As stated before...we were able to go to Ireland for our Spring Break.
We flew in to Dublin and made our way west.
We rented a car, and drove on the wrong side of road....with NARROW roads.
Scary, I tell ya.
Our favorite little town was DINGLE.
Isn't that a fun word? Dingle.

We loved going to pubs at night to listen to traditional Irish music.


We were able to see castles.
Some were fully intact others were barely hangin on.

Ireland is full of SHEEP!

The bright blue sky and green grass was BEAUTIFUL!

We loved that we brought our rain jackets.
We wore them almost everyday.

We tried different cheese at the cheese shop


... we even tried seaweed cheese....
and liked it.

The fog rolled in, but that didn't stop us from walking
through a farmers pasture to the beehive huts.


These huts were the ancient Irish homes dating back to 3000B.C.


Somedays we're cold and super foggy

and some were warmer with gorgeous colors.


We have so many memories that make us laugh, quote,
smile, and want to return.

It was so different than our other busy Europe trips.
We loved the slower pace and country side.
Ireland is highly recommend!
The green N E V E R got old.

We're cool now...


Last fall I was asked to serve as The Girls Camp Director for our Church.
I will be planning a week long camp for 100 girls.
I am super excited but totally feel inadequate for this assignment.
I told Romney I needed a laptop for all my meetings that I would be having.
He is a good man.
SOOOOO........
A really fun package came this weekend!


Could it be that we are ready to be trendy?
Yep.
We are cool now ....finally!



We have a laptop!!
Go ahead and welcome us to 2011...

and wish me luck for Girls Camp....gulp

Cleaning

Does anyone else enjoy cleaning?
I kinda do.
Wierd?
Yes!
I love a clean house.
I love cleaning products.
I love the smell of clean bathrooms.
I love the look of vacuum lines.
I love sparkling counter tops.
I love freshly mopped floors.
I love polished appliances.
I love dust free furniture.
I love empty laundry baskets.
I love the peace that it brings.
I love it all.

BUT...
the one job I hate; scrubbing the showers.
It's my least favorite job!
However I found thee
BEST CLEANING PRODUCT:

And now....
not so bad.
try it.
I spray the shower and tub first,
let it set while I clean the toilet, sinks, and mirrors
come back, wipe it down, and BAM
sparkling clean!
No muscles needed.
It's awesome.

What is your least favorite job?

the New leash.....


It's February and the weather is PERFECTO!
We left for the canyon to go on a little hike and test out the new leash...

This is my typical view when Magmoo is in the car.
He was so happy to be out....Magnus was pretty excited too
It took a little bit to realize he had 16 feet of freedom BUT he was loving it!

He ran and ran and ran...
And stopped to watch birds fly away
We all enjoyed the hike and relaxed the minute we got back to the truck.
