Where have we been, you ask?

Ummm... right here. Only without a working computer since November. Now we have Geoff's laptop working, but he takes it with him all day... but I at least have it at night!

Here is a little of what we've been up to:

I have been making bows like a crazy woman. It's all over now, but I have made at least 70 bows in the last month. A friend of mine was having a carnaval/auction with all the money going to the Haiti relief funds. I sold almost all of these bows at it - and was able to feel good about helping Haiti in a way - since I can't really offer much money... and my time is hardly worth anything! Plus, if you know me at all you know that I can hardly stand to NOT be doing some kind of crafty thing.
Here are the beloved turtles, Freddy and Teddy, that Jackson has "agreed" to sell, as long as he gets all the money, and we promise to get him a better pet when we are in a house of our own. Seriously, I am "mom of the year" for giving my son pet turtles for his birthday that he loves and then suggesting that he think about selling them 6 months later, even though a month ago he told me he wouldn't sell them for a million dollars. Yeah, that's because his MOM is the one who cleans out their tank.... every couple of days.... because they stink.....stupid turtles! What was I thinking? Anyway, we can't move them 3 times in the next few months! Because that is what we are doing.... long story - I'll tell you all about it later when I can type about it without using bad words! Anyway, for those of you who don't know - we ARE moving back to Arizona after all - and should be there by the end of June.

These pictures loaded up opposite of how I wanted them. I know how to change them, but I don't want to. ANYWAY.... Natalie turned SIX about a week ago, and the next day she thought she was old enough to lose her first tooth. She never even mentioned it was loose - and when she finally showed it to me, it was so loose I just pulled it right out. She looks cute, doesn't she?

Here is the main gift Natalie got for her birthday. She was running home from school behind Jackson and his friends on scooters everyday, so I figured it was time to get her one! She loves it!

Anyway, I'll have to post more later.... but hopefully this will at least show you that we are still alive.
