Letter from Dad
Dear Brent: Happy New Year! I hope you find joy in the coming year in your family, your work, and your church assignments. President Nelson has spoken of joy several times in the last few years and while I don’t fully understand what he means, I know we can find joy in our daily activities…

Mother’s Day!
For your viewing pleasure: My greatest treasures. In their diapers, and mismatched pajamas, and crazy hair — ignoring Dad as he repeatedly asks them to calm down and get ready for bed. (Sorry for the vertical video). My heart is so full today. Being a mom of a bunch of little kids is really fun…

Just Keep Swimming
I can’t let this blog die! Even if Google Reader dies. And even if it’s been 3 months since my last post. Something is better than nothing, right? It makes me sad to think of these precious (aka exhausting) years while our kids are still little slipping by unnoticed and undocumented except for the random…

It’s That Time of Year…
Where all you want to do is curl up and drink hot chocolate and watch Christmas movies with the fam — but you have to finish decorating the house first! And you have to go Christmas shopping, and you have to wrap, and you have to keep doing that one tradition, and you have to…

Let’s Review…

Back To School
It scares me that I have a fourth grader. I totally remember fourth grade. The friend drama. The school projects. The lunch line. My teacher… It wasn’t my favorite. But I hope Jake makes some happy memories this year. He LOVED everything about third grade and wanted to stay there forever (funny, so did I).…

It’s My Birthday Today!
And there are a LOT of candles on that cake! Thirty-one to be exact. It took me three tries to blow them all out. 🙂 Thirty-one years and this is shaping up to be one of the best birthdays I have ever had. A perfect little party the night before thrown by my closest and…

Summer of 2012 in Seven Words or Less…. Sort of.
Swimming! So much that Lindsay’s hair turned green for the last month of summer. We were out there almost every day. Everyone learned to dive and do tricks. Love having a pool, and love having a diving board! Twinners. You’re not cool unless you wear the same outfit as someone else. And then take a…
