Tom and I are the parents to a high school graduate. I’m not sure how that happened!! Wasn’t he just a baby last week?? (Not my best picture – but the moment is historic!) Spencer’s graduation was held at Red Rocks Amphitheater. It’s a beautiful location, but at 9am the sun is shining brightly right onto the concrete risers – […]
You’d think nothing has been happening in the Wood family – but that wouldn’t be exactly true. First – at the beginning of May I headed to Idaho for a reunion with my on-line buddies. We met last year at a Mom’s Retreat where we all did the unthinkable and met up with people we only knew from the internet. […]
We have a perfectly fine point and shoot camera that we got a few years ago. I have no complaints – except that it is a bit bulky and it seems like lately I never get it out to take any pictures. When I was visiting my parents back in March, my mom showed me the new camera she got […]
A blogger that I read recently hosted a call for motherhood essays and I got to wondering what my essay would look like. Here’s the result. My picture of motherhood was formed early by my own mother. She wasn’t a perfect mother but then, I don’t believe in perfect mothers. She was, however, a terrific mother. She loved us. She […]
So many thoughts floating around in my head … Spent last week with my parents in Monroe, Utah. Took my two youngest since they were on spring break. My sisters, Erin and Cynthia joined the party too. It was fun to watch our kids play together. I especially enjoyed the four year olds – they were “adorable” as my daughter […]
As you can see, I succeeded in getting my son to help me update my blog. Those birds make me happy!! Still no food post – guess it isn’t going to happen … Haley is doing better with the school work. Andrew is still way out there but hopefully one of these med changes will start working and we’ll get […]
I’m trying to get Tom to do a guest blog post. He made an amazing meal on Sunday and he even had Spencer take pictures. He’s being reluctant – but I wish he would!! I envy those bloggers who have those beautiful food posts and here I have my very own chef who won’t spruce up my blog!! I’m trying […]
Last week Spencer got that exciting email – he had been admitted to BYU-Provo for Fall 2012. He’s nervous and relieved and excited. Tom is already plotting all the weekends he can join Spencer to watch BYU Football (and probably Basketball and who know what other sports!) It got me thinking about my experience going off to college. I grew […]
So, I’m not a super crafty person, but I do like to do crafty things on occasion. I pulled out my woefully small collection of Valentine’s Day decorations and decided I needed more. But I didn’t feel like going shopping or actually doing anything difficult, so I went looking for Valentine’s printables (and there are quite a few on the […]
So, it’s been almost a month since I posted. I resolved that I should take more pictures this year because I have almost nothing of our family from last year. So far I haven’t taken a single one. Big FAIL. There’s always February, right? January has been the month of getting back into the swing of things. The kids are […]
