Instead of a tidy reverent picture on the porch… this picture would represent the fam better today. NBA Finals with new Father’s Day Treats from the kiddos. Tru dove into the pistachios. Liza wanted a pink starburst. Max was excited about the new frisby. I imagine though Dad would be able to actually watch the […]
Janey & her fam came to visit. My kids loved meeting Baby Bennett… especially Liza. She fills every dinner conversation with a comment about “Baby Bennett” whom she only knew through instagram. Ryan seemed to have a blast with the boys in the yard. I’m afraid we took the picture of all the kids about […]
Yesterday I met with the Gestational Diabetes Dietician, Elise Christensen. Poor her to have to endure my grouchy-pants attitude about the no-to-low sugar thing. Basically I can only eat 30 Grams of Carbohydrates, six times a day. And then test my blood sugar 4 times a day. Yesterday I set 10 alarms on my phone […]

Here’s the plan: a little classical music education a little character development some fun dot-to-dot & word search a little family history education Spiritual development – memorizing scriptures Family fun! healthy eating (hannah & abe are doing a food log this week) […]
Today our neighborhood hosted an HOA yardsale… meaning they did the advertising in hopes oodles of folks would come wander around the neighborhood to all the yard sales. We were going to sell a few things, but opted out since I didn’t take the time to get everything ready this past week. But we did […]
Wasn’t surprised. This pregnancy seems to be the catch-all. Advanced maternal age. 15 lbs overweight to begin with. Ongoing High blood pressure Hip pain… including dysfunctional rotation which makes for awesome waddling I knew this pregnancy would be hard. Still glad we went with the Spirit’s prompting to have #6… praying for a happy ending […]
Abraham earned his Bear award tonight at pack meeting – the bike rodeo. It sure takes a lot of work to plug through all the categories. Scouts is a great program though to help diversify life for our boys… much better than video games and tv. But it’s sure tricky to make time for it […]
Went on a walk with the 3 littles on Sunday evening while Jimmy was at a fireside with Hannah & Abe. I want to remember our glorious trail in the neighborhood. Mt. Timp… be still my heart! We loved when the beavers built their dams and the ponds had glorious amounts of water. The city […]
Mr. Maxwell (6 1/2) finally caught on to tying his shoes on Sunday Morning. I was wrestling Liza to get her hair done and Max had to wait for me to help. He was able to practice and get the loop in the right hole. Slowly but surely he did it! The interesting thing is […]
Tru has a love of Roly Poly’s. He has no fear of having them on his finger. He no longer tries to bring them inside – thankfully. There is just something fascinating about that bug that curls up in a ball. Yesterday, this was what we found. Tru had moved most of the rock border […]
