Food.
Looks like the USDA (and Mrs. Obama) did away with the food pyramid last week. Who knew!? In it’s place – Choose My Plate. What think ye about it? Easy enough for kids to understand. Simple is always good, I suppose. Yeah – I think I like it.

Train Up A Child
I somehow am under the delusion that I can buckle down and train and teach my children in ONE summer … and they’ll be perfect little people – able and willing to fully help and take over once our babe is born. Reality says… yes, I can Train and Teach… but I need to remember […]
Ensign Peak
Yesterday we headed up in the lovely weather to hike Ensign Peak. Mostly we’ve heard of it through General Conference messages. It was 1/2 mile up hill for sure. This mama (who hasn’t exercised all winter) was a huffin’ and a puffin’. The kids had enough energy though. It really was a neat view at […]
Abrahannah
… which is how Max says “Abe and Hannah”. Well… these 2 finished up another year of school. Hannah said she was glad and sad. Abe, though overjoyed to be out of school, was very teary about missing his teacher. She was a good one for that boy.Looks like Abe surpassed Hannah in height this […]
Beware Sales People…
I have become a meanie… At least when it comes to dealing with summer sales people. I’ve been semi-patient for 10+ years… But no more. I don’t have time or patience to say “NO” (like 10 times) to a stranger at the door…. especially during the hours of 4-8 p.m. Even the nicest, cutest kid […]
“I Probably Did Yesterday”
This is Max. Max is a funny kiddo. Here he is petting Koda, Aunt Julie and Brock’s Husky. If you know my kids and dogs, you’d know that this was an extremely brave thing for Max to do. He really liked Koda and thought it was funny when the dog licked his toes. He is […]
Awesome Abe!
Today Abe was discouraged. He said he wasn’t going to play basketball anymore because we wasn’t any good at it. I talked to him about how awesome he is doing compared to last year. Progress! He still was a little down. Then a while later, after building some legos, we played catch. He really is […]
Week in Review
I’m trying to be more diligent about our week-in-review pages. I forget the little details of our life as time goes by. This week was mostly all about Abe… with his school program… his birthday… his teddy-bear picnic. He had a lot going on… and enjoyed it all. I’m not sure what happened the rest […]
Abe had a Birthday – Shout Hurray!
Mr. Abe celebrated his birthday yesterday. The day Max has been telling us about “Abe birthday in May” has finally come to pass. And boy did this 7-year-old celebrate. He was sad when bedtime came because he wanted it to keep going (as for this mom… a birthday is swell… but they tucker me out). […]
Movin’ to the Country
not that we’re going to… but if we could sell our house and actually make a penny or two… we would. And we’d move to the country and buy 5 or 10 acres. We would. Well… if we had any money to buy land. Why? Because … See that huge lawn in the lower right […]
