Today was our big race that the kids and I had registered for. There were some nerves, but there was also a great deal of excitement. I have wanted to do a 5K for awhile now but didn’t want to do it by myself so my friend, Lisa, jumped up and volunteered herself and her [...]

October flew by somehow and before I knew it, it was the week of Halloween and not a pumpkin in our home. Monday afternoon we made sure to schedule in a quick stop at the closest pumpkin patch we could find. We only had 20 minutes to spend there so we didn’t even make it [...]

. . or so I’ve been told by our resident eleven-year-old. Emma woke up in the wee hours of the morning with a stomach ache and an ear ache. Must have been growing pains because she’s been enjoying her day thus far. Really, a day off of school – who wouldn’t LOVE that?! In true [...]

never sleeps far from his boots! Any guesses what this guy’s new favorite footwear is? (I’m so glad when Halloween costumes can double as everyday wear.)

This sale occurs twice a year, but we usually only make it to one. Our ‘one’ was this past Friday. We weren’t sure what to sell this year as we wanted to do our standard (homemade bread) but also a craft or two that wouldn’t take too long to make. We made a long list [...]

turned a year older yesterday. Thirty-five is treating him just fine so far. We are so grateful for Chris and everything he does for our family. He really is a Superman and continues to amaze and astound me in everything he does.

Last weekend we had some house-guests. This doesn’t happen very often so we tried to get our ‘fill’ as much as possible and now the kids – okay, me too – are going through withdrawals. It’s so hard to see family leave. It made me wish we were closer to family but then again, I [...]

It’s General Conference time again! I am so excited for this weekend! The kids are anxious to have monkey bread Sunday morning and work on their activity papers. One fun thing that I have wanted to do for awhile and finally got to it this time around was making General Conference Baskets for the gals [...]

My friend called me last night to tell me Stephen Colbert was reading at a local library today and we HAD to go (he lives in the area). Embarrassingly enough, I asked, “Who is he?” She tried to explain him to me, but not having any form of TV programming at home, I had no [...]
