Outside my window… “And the Rain, Rain, Rain came down, down, down”… and watered my tulips and made the world green. Rejoice! I am wondering… why Tru fussed and whined and whimpered or screamed all morning. Poor tot. I am thankful for… a patient and forgiving husband. From the learning rooms… This mama is learning […]
I have to give little Tru credit for doing a superb job going to nursery today. He did really well and only cried at the very end when all the parents were picking up but dad wasn’t there yet. I hope, hope, hope he continues to like it and he won’t start having withdrawls from […]
When Max heard we were heading to BYU today he was ecstatic about going to “The Bayou” (which is exactly how he says it. It’s so cute.) I wanted to take my kids to the Carl Bloch exhibit before it left the Museum. We waited for 5 minutes in stand-by and headed into the very […]
Last week we were able to get 8 lbs of Strawberries from Bountiful Baskets ($13… eh?… good deal? okay, I suppose). Oodles of ripe strawberries to enjoy. One of my friends brought us some rolls and homemade jam a while ago and I just loved the jam! I called her up and asked for all […]
Today was a lazy play day at home. It was a much needed break from routine and schedules. There was wii. There was a mom trying to be nice for once. There were pirates rampaging upstairs. I’m afraid Smee got a bump on his head when Captain Hook less-than-gently opened the door into him. Wendy […]
I was looking at photos from April and thought we had some classic shots of the kid’s talents: ~ Hannah learned to blow bubbles with gum this month. ~ Tru has a long tongue that does lots of tricks. ~ Abe came home from school and was pleased as punch that he could put his […]
Little Truman celebrated being alive 18 months by attending a well-check at the doc’s. Oh JOY for him! He wasn’t pleased with the 4 shots or the doc poking around. He did enjoy the sucker and long nap afterwards. We keep thinking that Truman is getting chubby, but his stats would indicate otherwise: Length: 34″ […]
Yesterday we decided to go on a quickie spring break trip to Arches. We didn’t want to deal with a hotel and little cranky tots so we left about 8:15 a.m. (hitting construction traffic starting at our I-15 exit) and arrived home about 11:15 p.m. Each way was about 4 hours. A 15-hour day with […]
A long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, bar soap ruled the personal care cleaning industry. Sadly, liquid soap took over and bar soap was shoved to the back of the storage cupboard. Then antibacterial foam soap ruled in the land. But – I believe it’s time for bar soap to make […]
My sister shared the encouraging words… “Work, Watch, Fight, Pray” when I was shaking my head about teaching tots. I love that! I thought it came from “Carry On” until I googled it. Not so… Put your shoulder to the wheel Mothers.Who better to work, watch, fight, pray for with all my might and zeal […]
