It’s been since before Halloween that I’ve posted anything. I keep hoping that life will slow down a little and that I’ll blog more; but we have yet to see that. Probably what needs to happen (if I truly want this as a consistent family history) is that I’ll need to just blog more even […]

Josh’s mom gave me a kitchen towel that says that on it, and it is just too perfect not to reuse! Thanks Mom! Anyway, we’ve been doing all the fun things–going to a pumpkin patch, driving up the canyon to look at fall colors, eating all the treats, witches at Gardner Village, decorating!, Halloween parties, […]

Summer is busy. Here’s a tiny taste of how busy. Disney Cruise! We went with some of my family, courtesy of my fabulously generous parents, on a Disney Cruise to Alaska! It was beyond amazing! The scenery was beautiful, the entertainment delightful, the food delicious and abundant; but my favorite part of the experience was […]

I am SO behind on blogging! Also everything. But I really don’t want to quit the blog (though I DO want to quit the laundry) because it is such a fun family history to have! So I’m trying to do at least some justice to all the goings on of the past month. First up, […]

Happy Official Beginning of Summer! I have thoroughly enjoyed how long we got actual spring weather this year! The first three weeks of June have been busy for us. I could go into all sorts of detail; but it would take me forever. So I won’t. But I do want to remember some things, so […]

Last Saturday was a day I want to remember. It was such a happy day, full of simple joy with my little family! So I’m going to record the story. It really was so simple and great! We started the morning on the later side (ie: sleeping in). We had a leisurely breakfast followed by […]

Here are some videos that I thought would be fun to remember. They are funny examples of what kids do to entertain themselves. And they are very entertaining to me! This is a video I shared before, but I just don’t feel like it got the appreciation it deserves. This was Portia last summer. Fay […]

Fay turned 7 on May 7th! It’s very exciting to me! But what’s even more exciting is Fay, herself! Fay truly is something special. When Fay made Josh and I parents, her debut was quite remarkable! And she continues to be remarkable in so much of what she does! One remarkable thing about our Fay-miss […]

We enjoyed lots of festivities for Easter including studying the Holy Week in Come Follow Me (which the whole family really did have fun with), attending delicious Easter meals and hunts, and dressing up for the occasion. (As a side note: I didn’t get around to really decorating the mantel. I put my adorable ceramic […]

We celebrated 5 wonderful years of having our boy in our family this past Sunday. (My apologies for being so late on this post.) Carter was very proud of the fact that his birthday fell on Easter this year and mentioned the fact to anyone who would listen: the primary, the clerk at the grocery […]
