Living in North Idaho definitely has its advantages. This is one my favorite spots here in North Idaho. It's called Green Bay and it's on Lake Pend Orielle. I do love the sandy beaches of North Carolina, but we went camping here last weekend and when I woke to see the sun coming up over the lake, the rocks didn't seem so bad. This is picture of Victoria throwing rocks into the lake, she gave up trying to skip rocks and figured throwing them was much easier. She may have even been trying to hit Mark or Sean. Ya never know...she is 5. Most days this part of Green Bay is pretty busy. Thankfully, it was just us this day. It was so quiet and so peaceful. If I ever leave North Idaho, I am definitely going to miss Green Bay. I'd have to make special trips in the summer to visit Sandpoint and all it has to offer.
A Place of Peace

So I'm sitting on porch on a saturday morning. Its such a beautiful day. Marks moms dog chewed my internet USB so I am without internet at home for a while. Thank goodness for the blackberry! I can still get online via this,which is what I am doing now. I have insurance on it thankfully its just going to take a few days.
Mark is at work today until 3. Hopefully this weather holds cause we have plans to go out on the boat when he gets off work! I love going out on the boat. It is so relaxing. I think we will take the kids tubing and maybe I will jump in and go swimming. Maybe even a picnic lunch.
I dropped Tori off at her dads last night. She will be gone for a week. I sure miss her already. Next weekend we are going to take the kids to Silverwood. Its the local theme park. They will have fun, the always do. This time they will have Lexie.
She's been here for a couple of weeks. For those who don't know Lexie is my goddaughter. Her mom is my best friend of 19 years...wow that makes me sound old!! I guess I did just turn 30! Anyway...Lexie is amazing and I am one lucky girl to have her as my goddaughter!! I am loving having her here and I wish she could stay!! Hmmmm I haven't got her return ticket home yet so maybe she can...
Well I suppose I should go do and do something with my day! Now that I've figured out how to blog from the phone I will probably be doing it more often! Just forgive the typos!

Here you go, Carol. At your request I have started a new blog. I know I won't update everyday, I'm not even going to make that promise, but when I have something to write about, I promise I will. It will actually be nice to be able to get some things off my chest or just post bs depending on my mood. I'm kinda excited about it now that I think about it.
First bit of news...my beautiful Goddaughter, Lexie will be here tomorrow night!! I'm so excited. I pick her up from the airport at 9:55pm tomorrow night. So, 12:55am for all of you on the East coast.
Thanks for all who stop by and thanks even more for comments...bloggers love comments!!
