September/October is my favorite time of the year in Utah:  

I am so glad I got this shot—it’s Poki’s classic “IT MAKES ME NERVOUS” face before she erupts into some form of a tantrum. This also explains how she feels about the beach. She is terrified of the water, “Because the waves feel like they are going to just suck you in and not let […]

I went camping and kinda liked it. Let me clarify: it was one night, I did no work or preparation, and it was in the Redwoods. So really, I think I really set myself up for success with this one. Visiting the Redwoods has been on my list for awhile so when my brother-in-law asked […]

The quilts hanging on the walls? Grandma’s nativities? The kitchen table? The big beautiful trees? Marcus the cat? The stones around the […]

I really love instagram, love photos of everyday life, here are a few from the past couple of weeks:   Finally bit the bullet and signed up for swim lessons, the girls love them, I really dislike sitting in that muggy place.   My FHE of planning a family mission statement FAILED. No one listened, […]

Packages to the MTC for my little brother. And might I add that he is super polite and acknowledges them and says THANK YOU! What a good man. My camera! It has done me well, and I have no plans of it going anywhere. Sharing Time, I love preparing Sharing Time, really could this be […]

We do these “date nights with the girls” a few times a year, usually they are most excited if it is their turn to go with Dad. Because Dad usually takes them out somewhere fun and then the other one stays home with me. But this time I decided it was *MY* time to go […]

Ha ha I love when the dogs get what is coming to them, Shae dumping her cereal right on their heads. I love her little baby hairs. I really really love watching big sisters and little sisters. I loved treating my Mom to a tea party for Mothers Day! I love…well sometimes I love…Shae crawling […]

Update: Thanks for all the messages—the picture below, the treats are from Hagerman’s—locations in Draper & downtown SLC. Their “Fancy Lady” breakfast sandwich & Roast Beef A La Chris for lunch…Mmmmmm. Living at least 30 minutes away from a really good bakery, so I don’t get in trouble like this very often. The girls loved […]
