We have had such lovely weather the past couple weeks! Last week, all of us had some sort of cold or cough, and we felt the need to get out of the house. We spent all last weekend going to parks and on walks outside! It was healing, not just for our bodies, but for […]

Yesterday morning the kids REALLY wanted Josh to make biscuits for breakfast (he is a master-biscuit-er, by the way). Well, we were pretty busy, and it didn’t work out, so he promised them we could have them this morning. Carter woke up this morning totally ready to make biscuits. Fay wasn’t far behind. This is […]

I think that it is a combination of a new year, and nesting for the new baby that has made me so excited about doing extra projects. Fortunately, Josh has gotten the bug as well, and we have done some pretty cool things! For example: We have been wanting to get our living room looking […]

Is anybody else SO over January? I feel like it has been January forever! I’m happy that tomorrow is a new month! To pass the time around here we have gotten colds, stomach flu, and pneumonia. 🙂  Just kidding. That’s not all we’ve done–though we really did do all those things. We have done some […]

I was feeling especially stir-crazy today, and just wanted to get out of the house and do ANYTHING!  Well, fortunately today just happened to be the most beautiful day January has ever offered, and Carter (the sickest one for today) even felt up […]

I was going to post this multiple weeks ago, but our blog got hacked again, so I couldn’t. But now Josh thinks he knows how to keep the hackers at bay, and so we should be ready to go for the new year! We’ll see what happens… Anyway, we had a super fun holiday season! […]

Fay has been requesting to look at old blog posts quite a bit this past week, and it has reminded me how much I like having our little history to look at! So, I am going to try and blog a little more often. (We’ll see if it actually happens. ha ha!) Two Christmases ago, […]

Josh is the best ever, and he got the blog back up and running! Thank you, Honey! We have had a busy month of November, but it has been very fun! The morning after Halloween (very early), we flew to LA for a Monson family trip to Disneyland! The kids had so much fun, and […]

I seriously LOVE autumn and the Halloween season! There are so many fun things to do with the kids (and Fay and Carter too)!  Here’s a little sample of our autumn activities!   This past Monday for Family Party (our new and improved version of Family Home Evening) we decorated pumpkins! The kids used stickers, […]
