Summer of the Snow Cones

We’ve had 2 snow cone Thursdays thus far. The first one was a little rocky with Hannah & Abe figuring our their jobs. But by the end they had their responsibilities balanced. We were all wiped out tired. But it was fun. Fun to have friends come visit. Fun to share a yummy treat. Last […]

Ruth – Ruth – Ruth – Ruth

My sister Jane (& Seth) digitized Grandma Nelson’s famous moment on the Price Is Right. Watching this made me miss Quacker Duck Ruth. She won a tennis ball throwing machine (wahoo!)… a blue lazy boy chair… and a new washer & dryer. And she was soooo close to getting $1.00 on the big wheel. Grandma […]

Zuzu

I realized on Sunday that my ‘baby’ is really getting so old… almost 2. Amazing! She’s quite the gal. Still a snuggler… but certainly holds her own with the boys. She’s not much of a talker. Today I heard cute little tunes from the piano and saw little miss piggy tails having a merry time. […]

Sunday with the Smiths

Yesterday was the spaghetti dinner to celebrate Julie’s 28th birthday. She & Brock & Kota are moving soon (boo!) and we will miss them so much. Eliza is in love with Kota! Isn’t that top picture perfect! Happy girl & a very patient dog.

This is JOY

I had an ephiphany at this moment yesterday morning during breakfast. Abe was helping make pancakes. Max was sitting nearby waiting to help put the chocolate chips on. Hannah was playing primary songs on the piano with Liza by her side. Tru was fiddling and playing with his wand, a marker, and some flip flops […]

hair cut

Summer Haircut today. I wanted uber short. Jimmy doesn’t love my hair uber short. Is uber a word? So this is where it ended up. I’m thinkin’ Jimmy is going to say it’s short. But oh so cool on my neck!Last night we searched through pictures over the years to see which we all liked. […]

Hearts of the Children …

I wanted to look up the option for printing a family tree fan. Totally cool! This is the simple one from FamilySearch.org. Simple.“Remember that the names which will be so difficult to find are of real people to whom you owe your existence in this world and whom you will meet again in the spirit […]

oh so cool

Conversation with Hannah… Mom: “Those are my legs over Jane’s shoulders.” Hannah: “You are wearing socks with sandals.” silence. bwahahaha. p.s. for the record… I loved those sandals… not sure why I thought thick white athletic socks were okay in this situation. did we all wear socks with sandals? or just me. Oh well… We […]

RAIN!

This is how the skies have been looking lately. Beautiful – blue… with great clouds. Blue skies are fantastic … but we need some dark clouds & rain. Blessings! Last night at 1 a.m. it started pouring rain. Hurrah! It only lasted maybe 30 minutes but it rained hard. The other day when we got […]
