Celebrate Good Times…
Today was Mother’s Day. Here’s what I got: a sleep in, breakfast in bed actually made by the kids, two bouquets of flowers, a heart shaped Lego “cake,” a coupon from Danny for “being nice to Jake,” a hand-drawn, framed portrait of myself saying “I Am The Coolest Mom,” a flower shaped magnet with Danny’s…

Sweet Boy
Just a few minutes ago Jake was downstairs laying on the couch having his “quiet time” instead of a nap. He’s going on 5 now and so I am slowly and begrudgingly allowing him to give up my favorite past time. Since he will be going to all day (9 – 3) kindergarten this fall…

If The Shoe Fits
Today at church the lesson in Relief Society was on Gifts of the Spirit. To start off the lesson Sister Ingle pulled a pair of hot red heels out of a gift box. She explained that her mother had just turned 87 and as a gag gift had received these heels from her niece –…

We’re Back!
Maybe you never noticed we were gone… It was a pretty quick trip. But for those of you that did (or didn’t) here’s a recap of our trip to Utah for my little brother Kenny’s wedding. We left Wednesday night, with my good friend Lauren and her kids tailing us. She called us up a…

Evidence!… And Some Eggs.

Tribute
President Gordon B. Hinckley, the prophet and president (for the last 13 years) of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints passed away last night at the age of 97. I SO loved this man. To say he will be missed is a serious understatement. Even though I never met him – I feel…

Brain Dump
Disneyland To break in our new Disneyland passes, we went with some friends (Lauren and Dave, Tyler and Wendy, Jana and Chantel), and left the kids at home. Awesome! Pictures above. Since then, I’ve been doing some research into the hidden mickeys so I have more useless Disney trivia to show off. Here is some…

BUSTED
Here’s what we’ve been up to lately… After coming home from Utah, we were home for about 3.5 days. In that time we celebrated New Year’s Eve like this: Brent tinkering away on his computer and me swooning over Edward until 10:15 pm when I decided it was time for sparkling cider and off to…
