Anyone who knows our family knows that Tom does the majority of the real cooking around here and he definitely makes the better food – it’s further along the gourmet scale than my specialty Tuna Casserole. So when it comes to birthday dinners, Tom’s not all that jazzed about me doing the cooking. But I still wanted to do something […]
So, I promised pictures of a few things, like the garage and the driveway. Here they are … Next step – build a workbench. We (meaning Tom and I) are having a difference of opinion about what kind of workbench we should have. It may be awhile before we get it done … I tried to get a picture at […]
Last month I took my oldest son to college … those are words I thought would not be spoken for a LONG time. Yet here we are. For once I’m agreeing with Tom – we should have waited and had Spencer go to kindergarten when he was almost six instead of almost five. Then I’d have one more year with […]
Anyone notice how fast this summer went?? I thought it would really drag since all my kids had a full summer this year (our first since Spencer started school here in Highlands Ranch. We’ve been doing year round school up until this past year). But between a quick trip out to Provo to celebrate Aaron Watson’s wedding (our nephew) and […]
I keep thinking, “that would make a great blog post!” and then never writing ANYTHING! Posts to come: Our vacation to San Diego – I even have pictures! Just need to sit down and write Taking Spencer to BYU – it does involve tears and I don’t think there is much in the way of pictures The start of school […]
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 – […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, 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 […]
