I went to ID for two weeks and then last weekend again so I have neglected our blog! Things are coming right along with our house after many, many weekends of Gabe going to Boise and then I have been there off and on we are about done. Gabe will go next weekend and rent a truck to bring the rest of our things. We have already rented our house out and they will move in the beginning of July. For the last 3 months Gabe has traveled to Boise pretty much every weekend, leaving friday right after he gets off work and then returning late sunday night and sometimes monday morning, just in time to put in a 10 hour day at his job. He has been running non stop so needless to say we are both excited to be done. I know Gabe is looking forward to spending more time with his boys! We are grateful for family that has helped by traveling there to give us a hand or in other ways. I also just have to tell you we have some great neighbors that have really helped out. It has been nice to have them look after the place while we are not there, from checking the mail, putting out our trash, feeding us while we are in town, taking us to the airport, and even watering and mowing the grass.




Here is Cade and Ethan enjoying the sun in Idaho; we were there recently for two weeks. We sure haven't been getting very much sun here in WA, in fact this information was passed on to me from Gabes mom. Seattle is colder than Siberia, Oslo Norway and Anchorage. This is the coldest June on record since 1894 and the 1st June in 40 years that we have had snow on the pass.
These are roses from our house in Idaho. My neighbor cut them and put them in a box so I could take them back to WA with me. I have had them for 1 1/2 weeks and am still enjoying them. We have about 15 rose bushes some aren't doing too well but others are just amazing. I wish I would have taken pictures of them in ID but time flew by with painting and many other things.


Lastly I thought I would share a recepie with you that I actually got off a friends blog and I recently tried it and really liked it.

Bruschetta Chicken

1/4 cup Sun-dried tomato dressing (she and I used italian dressing instead)

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1 medium tomato, finely chopped

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tsp dried basil leaves

Place large sheet of heavy-duty foil over half of grill grate; preheat grill to med heat. Pour 2 Tbsp. of dressing over the chicken in resealable plastic bag and seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat chicken with dressing. Refrigerate 10 mins. to marinate. Remove chicken from marinade. Grill chicken on uncovered side of grill for 6 min. Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, cheese, basil and remaining marindade. Turn chicken over; place cooked side up, on foil on grill. Top evenly with tomato mixture. Close lid. Grill an additional 8 min or until chicken is cooked through.

After I started I remembered my fresh basil in my little herb garden actually had died and I really wanted some fresh herbs so I put a little oregano and parsley and then some dried basil, and it turned out good also! Also I used more dressing than what it called for.

Thank you for your comments!
