After our scrumptious waffle dinner, we headed to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple to enjoy the pleasant weather and the shady grounds. The air smelled like flowers. Temples always have the best grass, don’t they! Getting five kids to politely smile for a picture is nearly impossible so I guess we’ll go with the candid shot… […]
We bought some real-live bubble gum a few weeks ago for that desperate car ride when we might need some entertainment. Driving home from the temple seemed a great time to try it out. Those are huge pieces! Next time we’ll remember to split them in half. Max practiced and practiced. He had a real […]
Max finally found a pencil sharpener. So he sharpened the sparkly silver pencil. Then he wanted to write a letter. So he wrote to cousin Trevor on a mission in South Korea. It was very short, sweet, and to the point. He was proud of his efforts. We found an envelope that he licked with […]

Tonight Truman landed on this verse during family scripture study: “What mean ye? Ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor, saith the Lord God of Hosts.” 2 Nephi 13:15 Luckily he wasn’t really paying attention as he was repeating the words. Oh Isaiah! And I’m wondering why my boys […]
Doesn’t this picture make you laugh! Tru’s leg? huh? Abe took his goggles apart and put on one eye patch. Liza and her goggles! Hannah’s darling swimsuit! I feel like I’ve spent most of summer break at doctor’s appointments or the dentist/doctor for the kids. Hannah has spent hours babysitting the tots. After my dentist […]
Went to the zoo today. Boy-howdy. Liza screamed for 10 minutes in the parking lot. We’re not sure why. I think she wanted the stroller instead of the wagon. Oh-so-2! We made it through the crowded entrance… only to enter a crowded zoo. I guess everyone else in Utah thought it perfect zoo weather. And […]
A day of dress-ups … ninja style… with origami ninja stars. Queen Ninja Liza was a little glum. I’ve been surveying folks who eat Greek yogurt? – Do you really enjoy eating Greek Yogurt? Or do you just eat it because of the extra health benefits? (for me… higher level of protein than regular yogurt.) […]
We had rain all afternoon. I loved it (despite the kids being cooped up in the house all day). Listening to rain falling during quiet time was a ‘keeper’ moment. When the clouds cleared, we saw how much it had snowed in the mountains. 42 degrees down here… in mid-June. It has definitely been a […]
Alright already with the food posts – I know. But this has been a huge deal this week to keep up with my new schedule/eating plan/testing glucose… so I’m noting this for family record. Yesterday involved grocery shopping galore. – p.s. i think eating healthier is more $$ Strawberries Blueberries Apples Carrots Tomatoes Cucumbers Green […]
