Allow me to take a moment away from our wonderful goings on to say something I have learned again rather powerfully today. First of all, Jesus Christ IS our Savior. God IS our Father in Heaven. Those are important facts to establish.  Next, God, our Father and Jesus Christ, our Savior, love each and every […]

Summer is coming to a close and it is so exciting! We are going to be doing school for realsy-pants this year! Fay will be in kindergarten 5 days a week, and Carter will be in preschool 2 days a week. I have some nervousness about it all, but mostly we’re just excited for this […]

Last Sunday after church we drove down to join Josh’s family for a family Lake Powell adventure! We had tons of fun swimming, boating, tubing, eating yummy things, chatting, playing games, exploring, getting only a little bit sunburned, and not being at work! Here’s some of what we did: The kids had to wear life […]

This past weekend we took our Christmas-gift-trip with Mother and Daddy to Logan. It was so much fun! We went to the temple and tabernacle, we went to the zoo, we hiked, we swam at the hotel pool (the kids favorite part), we ate at yummy restaurants, we played fun games in the car, we […]

I don’t have much by way of interesting commentary this week. But I thought it would be fun to record some of the fun things we’ve been doing this summer. Mostly I just had fun going through pictures and seeing how cute my kids are, especially when they are all together.

I feel like it has been forever since I have posted video evidence of how cute my kids are! So here are some gems from the past few weeks. Portia thinks she is all grown up already. It is fun to see her try to do big kid stuff! And she is such a sweet […]

So much has happened since I last posted. Perhaps that is why, despite my efforts to post each week, it has been 3 weeks since I last successfully published anything here. Here’s a bullet list of exciting goings on Father’s Day! I have such a great dad, such a great husband, and such a great […]

Fay has been taking ballet classes since last July. She started with a little summer session after which she was still enthusiastic about continuing, so we went for the long haul of a year. About mid January she was so done. But we had committed to the year, and I really thought Fay would enjoy […]

I have had the same mantel decor up since Easter. It certainly was nice to have reminders of Christ and His Resurrection on display; but mostly I just didn’t have any inspiration for summer. Mother has asked me a few times over the past month or two if I have a new idea for the […]

Here’s the story.  Josh and I have been toying around with the idea of taking the family to California for a getaway for a year. We started getting serious about it this spring (ironically, right after we got home from Europe), but the drive was just so long, and other similar excuses. So we kind […]
