team up thursday - summertime adventures with kitty & haba

This week, I chose our theme, "Summertime Adventures with Kitty and Haba"!

Corey has been DELIGHTING her readers with the craziest "Adventures of Kitty" for several years. I immediately got sucked into the adventures the first time I saw them! Corey has a great imagination and a little fury critter fits right into that world with her. You have to drop by and see all the places Kitty has been - very funny and her creativity continues to amaze me. Kitty's adventure this week is one I would love to share - peacefully sitting on a piece of driftwood by the ocean! Oh, how I would love to be there right now and just look at those blue skies! I'm hoping Corey will write a Blurb book one day and sell it - cutest idea ever!

Corey inspired me to adopt a little friend, Haba! Haba happens to be my little grandson's toy - and I now live with a guilty conscience as I promptly stole it from him!!!!! I thought he would make the perfect little companion for me so we could go on a few adventures - just like Corey and Kitty (one family member thinks I'm nuts). He currently resides in my camera case and goes wherever I go. I haven't been as diligent as Corey but Haba has had a few adventures and I will continue to find more for him this summer!

This week, Haba is trying to REMIND all of us to slow down with our crazy schedules and take time to "SMELL THE FLOWERS" - s.l.o.w. d.o.w.n. and enjoy the beauty around us.

If you'd like to team up with a friend and play along go by Megan's and HipMama's for some fun - and it's FREE - that's always a bonus. Helps you 'think outside the box'!

haba's weekend

haba helps us move - utah-style

Ok! I'll have to admit it! This is a little "Haba-overkill" - won't happen again but, I just couldn't help myself. I know, many of you have been waiting to see Cam's new home - that's coming soon. (For a closer look, click individual pictures.)

HABA travels - oh! we might go too ! ! !

On our way to help Cameron move . . . again! The dogs will have great petsitters this trip as Schuy and Whit will be here to open (and close) the door 20,000,000 times per day . . . at least! Cam finally closed on a house he's been trying to get just around the corner from where he lives now. He and Leah have been renting for over a year - now they know they love it there (grade school, junior high and high school a block apart from each other / church two blocks away) and will stay until Leah graduates from high school! The house was built in the 60's and is a few blocks away from where President Hinckley raised his family - that's cool. The home was bank-owned so he got it for a 'song'! (lalala)

The home is huge with a wooded backyard and Leah's friend two houses away - she'll love it. Grandma is coming with us to help pack things away and clean - when we have more family, the job gets done fast! It'll be fun! So, that's (2) family members moved in less than a month - think we ought to go into business . . . nahhhh, forget it!

Journal Notes:
Coming soon - out there living it!

The following thought was sent to me by Heather:

but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she
will become strong."
