I was telling some little friends of mine that my dad was a cowboy and they were so excited. It was funny. I guess there aren’t as many as there once were. I’ve been thinking a lot about Dad lately. I actually had to get up and leave church Sunday because I couldn’t get control…
This past week was really active. My Dad and Debbie were here till last Wednesday. Unfortunately, I had to work so did not get to spend much time with them on Wednesday. I was really sad to see them go. This past week also had Utah celebrating Pioneer Days, so Elise took the kids to…
Here we are living in UT. That is one phrase I never thought I would say, but there it is, and I’m really enjoying it so far. Stephen is doing an amazing job at keeping everyone updated on our experiences here, so I’m going to leave that to him for now. I love that he…
Still going along in Utah. We have been able to get through three weeks and hopefully soon the weather lets up. It has been hot here, and from what I gather, this has been a heat wave. But I really want it to end soon. Elise says it will be through August we will have…
We finished the full second week here, and my first full week back at work, sort of. I actually worked that first week even though it was my vacation. But hey, who is counting, right? Anyway, this past week was filled with some good stuff. We were able to get about 75-80% done with the…
It has been almost a year since this site has been updated, and I figure we should start doing this more often. Plus, a new chapter in our life starts: UTAH! I can not say that this has been a great movie. So far it has not. At least not to me. But I figure…
The other day, my son asked me if I was sad the day I realized he was taller than me. I had to answer no. I was excited. He thought that was weird, cuz most moms hate that their kids grow up so fast. I told him that I love watching my kids grow up….
Today is my daughter’s 9th birthday. I can’t believe how much she has grown in the past year. She has not only grown in height, but in strength, modesty, integrity, and all other areas as well. I feel incredibly blessed to have her in my life. We took a Mom/Netter date yesterday to celebrate. All…
When Stephen and I were first married I had an idea that, instead of individual Easter baskets, I wanted to do a family basket. When Kas came the next year I continued that, hoping it would turn into a tradition. Somewhere along the way I forgot. So, when the girls joined our family the idea…
Ever since the first time I picked up a camera, I’ve been in love. I don’t mean a little point and shoot. I mean a really 35mm slr. In particularly, my dad’s little old Yashika. I don’t think they are even made anymore. That little camera taught me to see things in a completely different…
I love reading blogs. I’ve been sitting here watching my dvr’d American Idol (which I really like this year) and reading people’s blogs. Thanks to all those who let me have a peak into your lives. I can’t help it. I’m a people watcher, even when it’s too late to be watching. Last week I…
When we moved to California, in February, coming back to the hot Valley of the Sun in JULY and AUGUST was the last thing I would have planned. I was excited about our new adventure and anxious to share that experience with friends and family as they came to visit us this summer to escape…
We had such a fun day on Monday. We went to LA with Stephen and while he was at work, we went exploring. Of course, I forgot my camera, but my phone saved the day again, digitally that is.
When my mom and I parcked the car we went in to the mall to buy one bagless vacuum for pet hair. Then we went to Bild-I-Bear and got my zuzu pets. It was awsome! Then we went to gap for kids and bote clthos there. So then we got a pitcher with my mom…
I went outside last night, with my husband, to enjoy the cooler night air. It wasn’t really cool, kind of muggy actually. But, with the remnants of a passing storm still above us, the gold rays of light shone through the clouds and lit up everything they touched. It was beautiful. Sprinkles started to fall…
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. That’s not actually that new. I always do a lot of thinking. Somehow that doesn’t always mean I come up with the best answers for my dilemas though. Weird! My latest thinking is about home schooling. I am really considering doing this next year. I have always…
Once again I am back with yet another review. I have been delayed for a bit more than I expected because I lost my password. anyway. This week’s review is on the movie How to Train Your Dragon. Although people may tell you this movie is horrible there is only one answer to that. they…
Ever have those days where you accidentally let your head hit the pillow and immediately know that there is no way it’s coming back off? Last night was one of those. I planned on writing this all down yesterday, but yep, the pillow attacked and I was a goner for the night.
So I sat down at my computer this morning and wrote about half a paragraph when I suddenly realized that my brain freezes during the day time. Really! I can only write at night. I don’t know if it’s because I have too many other things to worry about during the day or if the…
I haven’t posted on this blog for a very long time, I know. So, I thought maybe I should start up again since I live so far from friends and family now. This really is a great place to live. There is always something to do and yesterday we fit as much as we could…
I’m moving to but to Cali but I’ve lived here in AZ all my life. I’m moving in Feb, so I’ll post 1 more rev. of the week, then I’m going to hold off the posts for a month or so. Bye. What are you doing? Go on, get out of here! Fine then, be…
I’m back, and this week I’m reviewing “The Goonies”. This movie is about a group of kids called the goonies go on an adventure for One-Eyed Willy’s treasure, so they can save their homes from a country club. It has all the thrills and chills you need along with with mysteries, action, and adventure. It…
Just a quick post here. I have been off work since Thursday and it seems like it is not long enough. Part of it is because we were unable to get out of town for the long weekend, and this would have been the perfect weekend to do so, because it is so hot. But…
So I took a little extra time to write a post, and had the weekend which was full of stuff and such. I can not really tell you how much I am wanting the summer to end. To be in the 90s would be so nice. And that is really hot still, but I really…
So it has been two weeks since I have posted anything at all. My Twitter has been somewhat silent and Facebook is a little off as well. I need to get re-energized about the entire web thing. I am just kind of burnt out on everything: computer, school, work, paying bills, etc. It is not…
