Last night, we decided to go on a family adventure. We got in the car and drove up Little Cottonwood Canyon. We drove up past Snowbird, parked, and began walking up the road. Antonio had his camera, I had my phone camera, and Daniel decided to defend us all against the dangers on the road.Continue reading “Communing With God, Each Other, and Nature”

Daniel started school last week. It’s been a struggle. We are learning and growing though! We’ve learned that Daniel has to be sleeping at 8pm. We’ve learned that punishments need to be shorter in order for him to remember that he’s being punished. We’ve learned that he can sense when we’re stressed. We’ve learned thatContinue reading “School Days!”

It’s the last week before school starts… so we’re trying to cram every fun thing we can think of into this week. On Sunday night, we finished the first Harry Potter!  On Monday morning, we set off on a long walk. The dog wanted to sniff every tree, and the boy gathered every stick andContinue reading “Life is a Carnival!”

I’m feeling very thoughtful this morning. Topic 1: Unmarried friends. When I was single, I used to believe and hope that all of us would find ourselves happily married one day. Now I’m married. I see the world differently. I don’t see my unmarried friends as lacking any sort of integral step. I just seeContinue reading “Random Thoughts: Being Single, Skin Color, Babies, Jesus, Dumbledore, Reading, Daniel, Atticus”

On Saturday, Daniel and I traveled to a magical land…. Gardner Village! While there, we visited a magical place of animals, straw and poop!  The Farm!   It was spectacular.  We met so many different animals and had such a lovely time.  And at the end of it all–he got to ride on a ponyContinue reading “What’s better than riding a pony?

This little cutie pie is 4 years old today! He is such a wonderful nephew. I’m so proud of my baby sister Bethany for being such a good mom. She is such a hard worker. And she loves her babies so much. Here are some of my favorite pics of this dashing young boy throughContinue reading “Happy Birthday Kannon!”

This year, we had my friend over and her two cute girls! We basically ran around the front yard with glowy things, trying to see the Fireworks! It was wonderful. Daniel got a long well with the girls. There were a few fights/mishaps because they’re kids and he’s an opinionated child, but the girls wereContinue reading “Celebrating the 24th Of July!”

Last Saturday, Antonio had to shoot an event at the Veridian Center. It was a fundraiser/carshow for the Children’s Justice Center. I took the boys. They did NOT enjoy it. Well, they sort of did. We lasted about 45 minutes. Antonio took about 900 pictures. They’re super fancy and I WISH I had access toContinue reading “Day of Hope/Day of Fun… Sort Of”

Last weekend, we celebrated my adorable mother in law’s birthday! Jaxon came to stay with us that night, and Antonio’s siblings and their families (sans Megan–we missed you!) visited us in our home. It was a really relaxing and happy evening. Antonio’s mother is amazing. She raised 4 wonderful kids on her own. She remindsContinue reading “Celebrating DeAnne!”

This morning, Daniel came running into our bed at about 4 am. He lost a tooth last evening. The toothfairy didn’t even enter my mind. All I could think of was that this sweet cuddly boy was crawling up the center of the bed looking for some comfort after a really bad nightmare. He wasContinue reading “Beautiful Boy”
