Happy July 1st! Here's my new blogsite, with pics & vid, detailing our moving adventure to St. Croix, USVI! I'll update weekly! :) "Are you crazy? Living, Laughing, and Loving on an Island!

I may have another photographer in the family! This gorgeous shot of my 14 year old daughter was taken by my 11 year old son at Rainbow Beach in Frederiksted, VI. She was NOT posing. He was snapping the wind blowing her hair in her face and this just happened to be caught, so I had to play with it, since that is what I do. Haha. She was making herself a mermaid tail in the sand. Gorgeous model, awesome photographer. Yes, I’m biased but they really are amazing, wonderful, talented children. I‘m a very lucky momma. All our kids are completely awesome! 🧜🏼‍♀️🏝 #blessed #beachfun #familytime❤️

When you meet your “cousins” for the first time and they’re big Huskies. Hahahahaha! Poor baby was terrified! The dogs looooooove her though. #SweetDoggies #ScaredKitty #furbabylove

You know those routine questions the doctor asks, such as: Do you feel safe at home? 😲 No. The answer is no. I do not feel safe! Somebody call @prattprattpratt! (Hi, Chris! You’re awesome!😉) I’m okay, but apparently my daughter is auditioning to be Chris’s favorite dinosaur. Hahaha. She loves Jurassic everything, as does the whole family. Fun shows! 🦖🦖🦖 #helphelphelp #trexcostume #lifeatmyhouse #chrispratt #jurassicparkfan

Don’t be scared by this frightening image of me. I made a goal to walk my dog and the family decided to join me. This may not seem like a big deal, but this is the first dedicated exercise (other than rehab for my shoulder injury) that I have done in years! My illness was such that I couldn’t exercise and breathe at the same time. Today, I walked just shy of a mile and even ran for a short distance, so my dog could run. Look at my face compared to my daughter’s! Hahahahaha! I look like I just got back from a 13 mile hike in 114 degree weather. Yeah. Not even a mile! *smh* Gonna have to get back with it. It felt so good though! 😀😃😄😁😆😅 #babysteps #backtowalking #recoverymoment

My son’s cat, Saint (affectionately called Satan when he is naughty, haha) says “hello” and it freaks out some of our guests. Lol! We think it’s hilarious. 😂 I tried to capture him doing it and he mostly cooperated. I didn’t get his best work. Haha. You can see him in the right upper corner when he jumps up on a shoe caddy. Silly, big, quirky, black and white tomcat, who is so incredibly sweet. Little things like this make life amusing. Haha. I’m easy to entertain. What can I say? 😘 #lifeatmyhouse #hellohello #kittycatlove

Always nice to hear tons of sirens running through our small rural town and then see this out my door. Wildfire season is alive and well in the White Mountains. If you are in the area, evacuations have started for some outlying ranches and homes. Please stay up to date on your available fire escape plans. Stay safe, my neighbors, and firefighters! ❤️ #wildfire #Arizona #WhiteMountains #sitgreavesnationalforest

Bed head + no makeup = #funwithphotos. 📷 Me to self: Oooh, look! Pretty rainbow colors! 🌈 Hubby over my shoulder: Hey, look! You’re a scary Joker picture! 🤡 Me giving him major side eye: 👀 Speaking of eyes...I feel like one of mine is taking a little trip off by itself. The eye can roll toward the brain 🧠 damage after a trauma....hmmm....I did fall and hit my head (honest-to-goodness I typed “heads.” 👀 I just made a legitimate case for my own joke. 😂). I hear all you Disney fans out there mumbling, “Crazy old Maurice, hmmm...!” 🤪 🧐#namethatdisneymovie #morningsatmyhouse #pillowtalk

My pretty girls graduated yesterday! My daughter, Callista, was surprised with the “Best Actress” award for her school. She gave a Tony worthy “acceptance speech.” It was so adorable. She also tied for Salutatorian with another girl. They flipped a coin for who would do the graduation speech and the other girl got it. I don’t think Callista was too disappointed. Hahaha. Also pictured is my sweet granddaughter, Aaralyn, who graduated from kindergarten. She is super excited for first grade. What fun! 👩🏻‍🎓❤️ #graduationday🎓 #bestactress #summerishere☀️

You may remember the cute turtle left at our door, she found her #ForeverHome 🏠 this week. My daughter knows a great family who loves turtles and has a good past history as a loving turtle home. They named this sweetie Delilah, and she seems so happy to be in her new habitat. She was a #perfectpet while she was with us, but we weren’t able to keep her due to extenuating circumstances. I think she got the best deal in the end, though! ❤️🐢 #turtlelove
