Daria’s Life

Dylan took a few shots of me today - what a sweet kid he is!

Just wanted to share but Wow I’m really noticing how I don’t look 16 anymore!

Get ready for the AWESOME-NESS!! We took our boys to see KungFu Panda and they were riveted (including Noah). Thanks to Carolyn (super dental assistant) from Nathan’s office who supplied tickets to the premiere for our whole clan! Nate has some pics of us in the theatre before the show, but they’re on his iphone so I haven’t grabbed them yet.

This is for Dylan:

His two front teeth!!

I don’t know what it is about little boys and bodily sounds but they think everything is hysterical! Today Joshy was priding himself on making some very loud burping and tooting sounds. I said “Joshua, please don’t do that. You’re teaching Noah how to do yucky things. I need you to be a good example.”

So Joshua turns to Noah and says “Noah, don’t do what I do!”

My time has felt ultra Jam Packed lately with the addition of the revenue property to whip into shape, kids finishing their school year, wanting to beautify our yard for summer fun, and much much more. I also have alot of soul searching going on, it’s not stuff that I’m able to blurt out on my blog at this time but I have alot of internal things brewing right now. I guess that means that I’m sorry I’m not blogging and sharing more, I just am holding some things close to my heart for now and will SPILL later.

I am very happy in my life though, I feel richly and deeply blessed.

At lunch today we’ve been making paper crowns together for each of the kids. They LOVE doing this activity and making their crowns look adorable. During the process Joshua looks at me thoughtfully and says “Mom, you’re the best woman I’ve ever met!”

It felt like a huge parent payday to me. Thanks for filling the “Mommy Bank” Joshua, you have no idea how much I cherish the sweet things you say to me and the encouragement you give to me. You’ll be an exceptional Daddy and husband someday to be sure!

I made a big paper cutout of a heart to put on Joshua’s crown and wrote “King of Love” on it! He’s in heaven about it.

I know I can’t make claims like that without solid evidence so here goes…

Exhibit A: Joshy and Brigs demonstrating how to look insane in a “brother’s picture”

Exhibit B: Noah catches on quickly!

Well not our house that we live in. We purchased a revenue property this month (we took the real estate plunge) and got a house at a fantastic price! Now we have the task of doing reno’s to make it fresh and ready for university student renters. Our rental market in the city is virtually non-existent right now so we’re confident that we can find good renters as there’s no where for students to go.

I’m learning alot about myself in the process of overseeing work on the house. I really don’t enjoy being the go between, sending messages back and forth between Nathan aka: “the money” and all of the contractors. What I do like…spending the money!! LOL! Bad I know, but not entirely a surprise.

I’ll share some pics of the house soon!

Have you been wondering where I’ve been? It’s been a long little break but in that time I managed to attend the Portland Quilt Market and cover it as media for my podcast at Boutique Cafe.

I was drooling over all of the gorgeous apron designs and patterns at Market this year! You would have loved it too. Today I wanted to share an interview I had with designer Jan Lutz from The Apron Lady Designs.
**If you leave a comment in our shownotes at Boutique Cafe.com you’ll be entered to win some cool giveaways from Jan.

Enjoy!!

I’m a geek, I admit it. I loves me a little technology, and that’s why you should check out my buddy Chassy Cat’s show…Technogeekery. She fills her episodes with a combo of geeky information and her own “special” brand of humor.

Oh and another reason to watch her new show #30 is because I’m in it! I’m THAT cool! L

watch Daria break loose and goof around>>

Only pure love for The Chassy would make me share this with anyone!
