the playa's

here i am with my 3rd blog in just a few months.  the other 2 have been deleted (if you were following along).  this one is going to be less about what i am eating and more about every day life on our mountain..hence the name.  i have decided i care a lot more about my kids and my family and our home than what i am putting my mouth.  i am changing my focus, so to speak.

this is the most popular spot on our mountain right now.  it's the front deck.
it's cool and shady in the evenings.
the bbq is here.
 and we can watch the kids play on their playset from here.

to start with i will introduce the players in our little game of life...

first up:me.  this is a lovely self pic taken on the 4th of july (the glasses give it away)

next up: the hubs. also known as robert, bob, daddy, grandpa
and occasionally "bobby dan"
we've been married 11 years. he's a stay-home-daddy to the next two players.

#3 and #4: my girls
this one was taken on vacation in june in seaside oregon

#3 is willow.  also known as the bean, chicken, and the tall child.
she will be 6 next month and just started kindergarten a couple weeks ago

#4 is violet.  also known as  beebo, monkey, shorty, viley, missy and many others
she is 2 and 1/2 and responsible for keeping us all laughing!

this is the girls and i at the kla ha ya days parade in our home town this past july

desmond (the black one) and molly (the white one) also reside on our mountain.
they are litter mates and will be 10 in november.  they are strictly outdoor dogs.

we also have 2 cats that are here strictly for rodent control purposes.
this is rosko.  lucifer hangs with the hounds more than us (which is fine with everyone).

that about does it for the residents of mount wormley.
at some point in the future i will introduce non-resident members of our family and friends.
i also plan to bore you to death with the mundane goings on on-top-of-mount-wormley.
i know you are all on the edges of your seats...
stay tuned!
