Well, I have officially stayed up way too late getting ready for our trip to the Oregon Coast (SO excited!) But I think everything is packed and waiting for the official hour to arrive. Somehow the best intentions get foiled again and again around here. I meant to have everything ready nice and early so we [...]

On This Day…
Wishing my sweetheart a happy anniversary…thanks for seventeen amazing years.
(I have to admit, this picture wasn’t taken on the actual day, it was at the reception a week later–looked through tons of boxes to find the wedding picture I wanted to post–couldn’t find it and finally gave up, but you get the idea…)

Dance Festival Rocks!
I have to admit that one of my favorite events of the school year has to be the dance festival! I love the music and the bright clothes, the sunshine (yes, it did peek through several times during the performance), sitting on blankets with friends, and most of all the smiles on my kids’ faces [...]

After All Was Said and Sung, I had to vote for David…
Archuleta that is. I have always thought he was an amazing singer, but got a little bored with him over the course of the season. I have been rooting for David Cook for ages now. But after last night’s performances, I just couldn’t withhold my votes from David Archuleta any longer. He was AMAZING. I [...]

A Gentle Reminder
As a general rule, I read my scriptures while I eat breakfast. This has been my practice for several years now. Usually though, I don’t eat and read until after the kids are all off to school (much-loved peaceful moment). Since Madison is in Kindergarten, she hasn’t seen me do this much this year, although [...]

Trampoline Rescue
Well, the trampoline is now in pieces in our garage–I don’t know if it is usable, but at least it is out of the neighbor’s yard! I just want to say what amazing boys we have!!! Without complaint they went over with me to dissasemble and hoist the crazy thing out of the [...]

Weird Weekend
Hello Everyone–
Well, we had an interesting weekend. It started off with our cat getting in a fight with another cat on our back deck. Barry heard the brawl and went out to rescue poor Pinky. I don’t think the poor thing knows how to defend himself. He is such a gentle [...]

Tagged Again!
Caroline tagged me–here you go:
1. Typically, what time do you wake up?
Ideally, about 6:30. Most of the time I lay in bed until close to 7.
2. On a good night what time are your kids in bed?
I love the 8:00 bedtime, but if we get everyone in bed by 9:00, it is amazing–it’s usually closer [...]
