Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 in Life, family, party time

Last week I had two days of Horrible Terrible No Good Very Bad Grumpy Mom Days. Boy, was I a “grumpface,” as we call it in my house. I was tired.  I was looking forward to bedtime and trying to figure out something to do the hour before bedtime that didn’t involve me snapping or […]

3 p.m.

Photo and video editing at www.OneTrueMedia.com (by the way this is her SCARY Halloween dance!) 3 p.m. is dance around the house like crazy ladies time. It is my favorite part of the day. It helps us to remember no matter what the day has been like that we still have a lot of fun […]

Honey Bunny

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 in family

I went to a blogger event a couple of weeks ago and sat next to some ladies who didn’t have any kids, so we got talking about our PETS that we just adore. I have to be honest- it was a bit refreshing to talk about animals instead of the same old children chit chat. It got […]

End of Summer Collecting

Thursday, August 27th, 2009 in family

Whenever we decide to go “Exploring, Collecting, or Investigating” those titles seem to have a bit of a jinx to them. It seems whenever we go on an expedition, the rain follows us.  Some days we don’t mind, but others make us run for cover. This past Sunday was such a wonderfully relaxing day, and I […]

Last Days of Summer

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 in family

The end of summer is coming.  You know it’s true.  So what are you going to do with your last days? We went to the beach (yes the beach, Tyler).  Every time anyone said it was the ocean, or the beach, or that it was sand, he had to hurry and correct us.  No, in fact, it […]

Family Photo Day

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 in family

We have never had family photos done. There is a reason. And the photographer realized what it was 2 minutes after meeting us. I cannot control my children.  Yes, they are 1 1/2 and 3, but still- who is their mother?!  I have no idea. I know I only have two, and I can’t do it.  Mothers […]

Laura Lou, I Miss You

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 in family

My baby sister’s name is Laura Lou; my mother called her that when she was little and it stuck with me. She has been gone on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for a few months and has quite a few months left. I felt very guilty when she left. […]
