This Moment




 A multi-photos - a few words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. 



A shark.



A rainbow with the flowers.








 We bought the bubble guns. They are the best than last time we bought. Bought from craft booth at the Willow Park.







 We love to watch the bubbles come out of the guns. Pretty awesome. We were glad that we decided buy them for the kids.

We went to the Willow Park for breakfast. It's was good. We ate pancakes, sausage, brown hashes, and scrambled eggs. The booths was set up. We walked around and look around. Bought some stuffs. Met some of friends out there.



Reeses is doing great. She's always jumping around happily with hay food. She's silly little piggy girl. We love her.

I told Derek that Reeses is looking like a yorkie dog because of the colors fur. I miss my Skeeter. Reeses is reminding me of Skeeter.





I think this is so cool! I want to hang up with my swatches. Why not? I can put them in my yarn office in my basement. I am so glad that I have an extra rooms in my house. One room is for yarn office and another side of the room is for the craft room without the TV. It'll be the best for the kids to have their homework done. I don't have to worry about the messy in the basement because it's unfinished and ceramic floor. I don't want my kitchen to get dirty. Outside is always hot and cold. So basement is my luck. Also a tiny side of the room is for storage place.

WHO Bread






Yesterday, the kids and I were helped each other to made this delicious bread from one of my favorite knitter blog.

We ate them all, we love it so much. The kids were kept asking for moreeeee WHO bread. We added honey butter on it. Mm, oh heavenly.

What are inside: cinnamon, oats, white flour, wheat flour, salt, yeast, butter, and brown sugar. If you want a recipe of this, you can ask me and I will get you one from the knitter's blog.

You have to try it! I am going to make another one today. Maybe two.

Love Ranch



Love the farm ranch land. I will hate to see if the city will approves to building this land. I love farm land. I am hoping that I don't jinx it. More quietly and beautiful land that God created for us. The city stress me. The farm relief my stress. I love the nature than the dirty, messy, fully city.

We were on our way to Clarkston town. Derek's hometown. Derek wants to live there again. I agreed. But one thing I am fear is: gas. Clarkston is 20 to 30 minutes away from Logan. There are a few houses that are on for sale. Two houses that we would love to move in but it's hard that we need to sell our house first. Maybe in a few more years then we will sell our house. Our house market is not equal to the market or we will lose our profit. I don't want to risk that. So we will just wait for a bit. We will see....



Southeast view to Logan. I love that little hill to hide the city from Clarkston, so we don't have to see the cities. Isn't that beauty ranch?? Yes??



We were on our way back home in Logan. There was a huge moon shine. I told Derek I want a Nikon or Canon camera so it can takes a clear photo like as our eyes.


Derek's parents gave us this farm garden fruits and veggies. Yum! The families (we had the birthday party) ate the green apples from his grandma's backyard. They ate with a salt on an apple. I think that disgust.

Oh how much I love ranch land. I can't stand to live in a big city that I used to grew up in. I am so happy that I don't live there anymore. Each time I visit my parents', I always complain that I want to go back my home in Logan. I noticed that I wouldn't be happy if we live there. Cache Valley is my home. It's felt so right to be.

This Moment















We went out for a little swamp lake. We had fun time together. The water is surprisingly warm. This isn't that far from my house. We were cabin fever so I took them go with me to the water lake to keep us feel refresh and happy, and at least it's free to access area.

Puzzle Box




Wyatt's friend from his speech school in Ellis Elementary invited him to his friend's 4th birthday party at Cache Valley Fun Park. Emma was invited too. There was a few kids. This is looking like a puzzle box. Patti paid all for us who were coming, that is nice. There has skate, games, bowling, and restaurant. I just sat on a table and watched a TV show: H2O: just add water. Psst, I just finished H2O: just add water.

We had the birthday cake. Wyatt gave his friend a birthday present from the DI store. We stayed there for two hours. I want the kids to be worn out and played hard.

When we just left, Wyatt was fighting with me about a balloon. He wants one and I told him that I don't have any money. The party had been paid. He was still stubborn little guy. It wasn't easy to be a mommy to that meltdown.

At least, the kids had fun time at the party.

PS. I need to clean a whole house plus cages, yay. Derek is going to golf in the sardine canyon. (throw a hand fist at him)

My Pretty Fair Isle Knitting

I love how it looks. I feel like I am an artist. Knitting fair isle is an art color fabric. I am knitting the flower and heart. 

So far I have fun time knitting with fair isle. Last time, I knitted with fair isle, it was bad. Practice makes perfect. I become more professional knitter than before. It's amazing that I taught myself about knitting without classes and ask knitter for help. Knitting Daily, my favorite TV show, is my class. I studied and am still studying the knitting books. 






I knitted the hem edge. It's calling Picot Fold Line. I knit 10 rounds then k2tog, yo around then knit another 10 rounds. 




I didn't want to sew round after I finished this project, so instead that I pick up the stitches and knit together to create fold line. Knit is better than sew because it's more secure. Plus it's quickly.

I always knitting on my pink recliner that my grandparents once had. I love that chair. Hi Wyatt. I also love a pillow on my lap as a "desk". Comfort chair and comfort position is so important for knitting or your knitting will be off tone. 


Isn't she looks pretty? I was proud of this. I am happy. Being happy than be sad, right? 



Knitting is helping me so much with my depression. I always thankful God for this talent. I also thankful God for beautiful sheep, alpaca, and yaks.

New Project



 I wanted to start a new project for my knitting. I started with my gauge swatch to get correct gauge for a project. Like an artist do with her/his art sketch paper before final start art. My gauge swatch is my sketch. I started with my picker (left hand). It was not good swatch. It was too loose and it will be too big for Emma's size. So I started over with my thrower (right hand). I knew that my thrower is always tight gauge. Bingo, it's exactly same gauge in the pattern calls for. I am glad that I have 2 chances. Some people can't do in two hands. Like if I didn't get a right gauge then I have another chance with my another hand to get gauge swatch. My hands have so different tension.





I started to wind my hankies into a ball. I have too many hankies to wind up. 






 I love my winder and umbrella winder. I can't live without them. I am so happy that I have them. Before I have them, I used a stick to winder up. Derek had to hold the yarn while I was winding with my own hand. It's took forever. One time, it took me three hours to get it done into a ball. The winder is much faster than a stick winder. It only took me 5 minutes. Nice, huh? I don't allow my kids to touch this stuffs. Because of my fan's blog that her nephew did broke her winder. I know Wyatt that well. He is still breaking stuffs. I am not buying new toys and/or stuffs for him until he realizes it and it's so annoying.






Ta-Da! I will winder the two remain white hankies later. I don't want to lose their tension while they are into the balls.

Yarn: Cascade Yarns Heritage Sock Color: lemon, white, moss, tutu, iris, fuschia.

Full Moon


 This moon was full and closer than before. My iPad's camera isn't that good taking a picture. I wanted to buy a Nikon or Canon camera. I will have to save my money to buy that camera.

Isn't the moon pretty. I will love if the moon is more closer and big. Like in a movie Bruce Almighty.








I agree this quote. Yarn is my distracted. :)
