Idaho....

My mother is from Idaho....I remember going up every year to Idaho to see my grandma and cousins....it's just part of my childhood. Lately, we haven't been up there as much, since my grandmother is gone, it takes something like someone getting married, or a family reunion to go there.

We just went up last week, my mom, my sister and I, and left the kids at home. I found myself captivated by the endless fields of wheat, potatoes and LOVED that at night time, you could look around and see the stars, no nearby houses or trees in your way.

I could ALMOST picture myself living there...such peace found there, which is what I keep saying I need in life. I wonder if I would have found that same peace with my kids in the car, "Mom, she touched me...Mom,I need to go to the bathroom....Mom, I'm bored!" We'll see, this month I go back for another wedding, and I get to bring the kids with me this time...

Here are pictures of us visiting old houses, and cemeteries...my grandparents, great grandparents, aunt and uncle all are in the same Shelley cemetery. We went and picked wild sunflowers and took them to their graves.








Next blog post: back to school....I haven't posted yet, since Keilani still has yet to have her back to school day, she finally starts Tuesday!
