After getting back from Utah, I decided to take it easy. Here are some fun things we did in October: Read the rest of this entry »

After our late night on Saturday October 2, it was nice to sleep in just a bit on Sunday. But because of our sleeping in, it made for a crazy morning. We made another yummy breakfast (compliments of my brother and his yummy cooking skills). Then we attempted to get all the kids together and listen to conference. After much technical difficulty, we were able to listen to almost an hour of conference before we had to get everyone dressed and ready for baby blessing #2. Read the rest of this entry »

The main purpose for making the trip to Utah was to participate in 2 baby blessings. Scott’s brother Dean and sister Torry both had a baby in the same week. So they planned a fun filled family weekend of baby blessings, good food, good conversation and of course family pictures! Read the rest of this entry »

We got to my brother’s house just in time for dinner on Wednesday September 29. After a tour of Steve’s amazing house and a yummy dinner and getting all of our stuff out of the car and down to the basement, I put my cuties to bed! Read the rest of this entry »

We made it to Utah this year too. We got back from camp on Saturday September 25 about 10:30am. Scott got the whole van cleaned out and a load of laundry started while I ran upstairs and showered and dressed everyone. At 11:30am I ran to the church to help get the food out for the ward party. Scott got himself dressed and he and the kids got to the church by 12:30. Read the rest of this entry »

Not sure what social pressures your kids have in life, but for our children the fact that they had never been to Disneyland was top on their list of unfair issues in life. I was not about to indulge the children for the price that it required and was content to let my children experience Disneyland first hand when they were old enough to pay for it themselves!!

I’m hopeful that Scott and I aren’t the only ones….but after 12 years of marriage we had a night alone in a hotel room. I have lots of friends who do this yearly. But Scott and I haven’t had this opportunity since our wedding night. So when he had a fancy hotel room in S.F. (for work) in early September and my sister was in town, we took advantage of the opportunity. Read the rest of this entry »
