Will I ever post again??

October 2, 2009

Life has been so busy! I miss blogging and recording our happenings. I’ve taken lots of pictures and we’ve done lots of fun things and my kids are growing before my eyes and I feel like I’ll forget stuff if I don’t blog about it! There’s so much I want to post….so little time…..should I […]

If I had my little way, I’d eat peaches every day….

September 19, 2009

This post is brought to you today courtesy of the peach tree in my parents’ backyard. For the past several weeks we have thoroughly enjoyed picking these lovelies and eating them to our hearts’ content. There is just something so satisfying about eating fruits/veggies from your own yard, don’t you think? (Or in this case, […]

Remembering 9/11/01

September 11, 2009

This is another amazing Mormon Message about a 9/11 survivor. I read on another blog (I can’t remember which one) about how the question of our generation will be “Do you remember where you were on September 11, 2001??” It was one of those days I’ll never forget. I was a nursing student at BYU […]

So long, sweet summer: First Grade is in session!

August 31, 2009

The moment I have been dreading has come and gone…and I have survived! Honestly, I have not been looking forward to Brandon starting first grade and being gone ALL DAY LONG. It’s hard and strange for me to think about how he’s been with me for only 6 1/2 years and now I’m sending him […]

Annie’s First Day of Preschool

August 24, 2009

Our Annie is officially a preschooler! I can hardly believe how grown up she looks in these pictures. She has been ready for a long time and was so excited for the big day–which was 2 weeks ago! (Yeah, I am behind…..) Ooooh, we love this girl. We love her spunkiness, her smile and dimples, […]

Elder Ry is coming home tonight!

August 19, 2009

This is my baby brother, Ryan. For the past two years, he has been faithfully serving the people of Mongolia as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sharing with them the gospel of Jesus Christ, sharing his smile, sharing himself. We have missed him very much but have loved hearing […]

Inspiration and a little bit of chocolate.

August 5, 2009

This is the most recent video made by the church–these are always so inspiring and well done. Shout out to Tucker (Julie’s man) who works on these amazing Mormon Messages. And this one is even more fun for us because my brother Tyler and his brand new wifey Lisa are the bride and groom at […]

Zucchini, tomatoes and peas, oh my!

July 27, 2009

Admittedly, I am NOT a green thumb. I can manage to keep 3 children and a husband and myself alive, but alas, I cannot maintain the life of a simple houseplant. But this year I was determined to have a small vegetable garden–it is our very first family garden as this is the first house […]

Christmas in July

July 22, 2009

I am home today with a sick, throwing up baby while the rest of my family is spending the day boating for a family reunion. I am so depressed about it! Mostly because I hate it when my kids are sick and helpless, and poor sweet Haylie just feels terrible, you can see it in […]

Can I go to bed yet?

July 19, 2009

Today was one of those days. Just keepin’ it real. Battles and tears and accidental owies and stomping up stairs and other activities began before church and carried well through Sacrament Meeting. Haylie has perfected her high pitched shriek and refuses to sit peacefully on laps for 3 hours (well, what nearly-16-month-old baby DOES???). She […]
