fun weekend

We had so much fun at Sea World.

The rides. The animals. The water. The everything.

In fact, we were so busy having fun that this is the only photo we took the entire day (in the parking lot getting ready to go home). And since I’m not much for saying things, you can read what my sister [...]

the beach

We enjoyed our first beach day last weekend. It was Owen’s first trip down there and he was impressed. He loved the sand. He loved the seaweed. He loved the water.

The boys are already asking when we can go again.

(The photos were taken with Chris’ iPhone using the [...]

mothers

Happy Mother’s Day.

(My family in the 1980′s. I’m in the yellow coat.)

I love my mom (Hi, MoM). Thanks for taking us camping in southern Utah a lot when we were kids. I liked it. And I liked the dutch oven cooking. But most of all, I like you.

 

I learned a few things about myself [...]

making art

Hello friends.

I have a bunch of things on my mind. Here are a few:

1. This is what the little man looks like when he’s teething. He has to concentrate very hard. And it hurts. A lot.

 

2. This is my t-ball all-star. Watching his games is way more entertaining than I had anticipated. And it’s exactly how [...]

remembering grandpa’s house

My grandpa recently turned 90. Chris and I got to go visit for the weekend and celebrate with all my cousins. It was really fun. While I was there, I took some photos of Grandpa’s house. I have so many fond memories in that house — we would visit every summer when we were [...]

spring

It’s springtime here. I love it.

Last week the boys helped me spring clean the yard.

We took all the weeds out, loosened the dirt, planted impatiens and petunias, trimmed the bushes, admired the azaleas, wished the homeless dog would stop pooping in our flower beds by the front door, spread 3 yards of mulch, cleaned out all [...]

the fort

My boys love to play outside. Back in January, we upgraded our backyard plastic slide for a real fort (Thanks, Jon!).

This is the view from the back door, standing on the deck. The boys run off the deck, through the trees, and up the ladders.

Cooper is not interested in the fire pole, but Max loves it. [...]

moving slowly

Hi. I’m feeling a little unbalanced right now and thought you might want to know (if you don’t want to know, stop reading and just admire how handsome Owen is!).

This is my darling boy. He is six months old now and cuter than ever. He is so many things: smiley, content, happy, handsome, strong, fast. One [...]

dreaming

Can I share with you a dream of mine?

This is the view from my mom’s kitchen sink. I know the picture is a little dark.

Did you get that? This is what she sees out the window above her sink.

Breathtaking.

I took this photo a couple months ago when I was there visiting (yes, I rode on an [...]

our garden: an update

We ate our first batch of green beans at dinner last night. Oh, there is nothing yummier!

Tomatoes are growing.

Something came and ate ALL of my marigolds. In one night. Really bummed about this, but every year I learn something new and this year I’ve learned to not plant marigolds. But the petunias are growing and growing [...]
