All the latest

I’ve been sick for two weeks exactly today.  It has not been fun… tonight I feel like I’m at my breaking point – I just want Tom to put his arms around me in a great big hug and pat my head and tell me it’s going to be o.k. and I will actually get better soon.  And then he […]

(Almost) Four Months

Wow – I’ve been absent here almost long enough to just abandon the whole thing… What happened from April to now?  Well…  here’s a list: Haley finished her first year of high school – Yay!!  And her grades were significantly better than her last year of middle school or even her first semester as a freshman.  I’m really proud of […]

Spring Break

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 […]

What’s Going On?

Is this what all my two readers are wondering?? I know that when my favorite bloggers go quiet I certainly start wondering. In my case, I’ve just been too lazy to blog – or too busy, can’t decide! We are in our final weekend until school starts again and I’m actually feeling a little sad because there were a few […]

And What Have You Been Up To??

Haven’t posted in awhile – and I have no pictures – so I’ll warn you up front.  Still, I’m feeling the need to say something.  We’ve enjoyed a quiet Sunday afternoon.  Tom substituted in Primary for the 7 year olds.  All boys (5 of them).  I was there for sharing time but left him to fend for himself while I […]

Disneyland Thanksgiving

Well, Tom & I decided we were actually going to take the kids to Disneyland after talking about it for a couple of years.  Because of Spencer’s school schedule, we decided to take them the week of Thanksgiving.  We thought it wouldn’t be too crowded at Disneyland, because it is a holiday weekend, afterall, but that was foolishness!  Still, we […]

Johanna – Hilton Head, SC – part 2

So, we’re on day five here in Hilton Head.  Yesterday Tom and I actually went swimming in the ocean (for some reason, no one gets in the ocean.  Maybe sharks?  Anyway, we did it and nothing happened, so either everyone is super cautious or people just don’t like the ocean).  Here are some pictures of the view. Last night we […]

Johanna – Hilton Head, SC

So, we’re here in gorgeous South Carolina on Hilton Head Island.  It is so beautiful.  We are staying at the Marriot Grande Ocean Resort (see Marriot Grand Ocean Resort for the home page).  We’ve been sleeping in, walking on the beach, eating great food, and just enjoying being here.  I promise to upload some pictures soon. P.S. I played around […]
