Our kids sing a song that they learned from school. It has the most boring tune ever but we sang it over and over this year. We laughed about it. It’s Thanksgiving… Bells are Ringing… People Singing… It’s Thanksgiving. Luckily… our Thanksgiving was more lively than the tune of that song. We enjoyed a nice […]
and thus we had the annual gratitude family home evening … complete with turkey hands with a gratitude list such as: “Heafanly Father, familys, foods, gospel, scriptures, legos, Jesus, blankies”. I love how kids spell things they’ve never seen written … and love how they color. You can see Max was totally into the photo […]
Truman joined me in bed this morning – which meant that he stepped on my back to climb over me to snuggle. So-long sleep. I woke and headed downstairs to find this once-in-a-lifetime delightful scene: Really? How sweet is that?! … and then my heart melted. All was well in my mothering heart. little lizzy […]

Today I decided I ought to try and open my digital Simply Fresh Designs shop for the holidays. It might be a really bad idea since I’m a wee bit busy these days, but the thought of CREATing and making a few $$ is a pleasant thought. Jimmy tried to turn the SFD shop back […]
Today Eliza ended up in this gem of an outfit. I saved it from the d.i. pile because I figured green could be a girl’s color. Plus I always liked it on my boys. Well, if a boy has ever worn an outfit, my mind can’t ever think it’s girly… and vice-versa. But I thought […]
The song that came to mind last night when i looked outside and saw SNOW. A fun memory… driving home to Idaho with Alison and Jenni… and Johnny Mathis… and Winter Wonderland. We sang and sang and sang. This verse was our specialty. Since the snow is here to stay, I suppose we’ll have to […]
I love this thought. It’s not always easy to do when times are tough… but the message is so true – there is ALWAYS hope. I’m so grateful for that. Papers used: Color Combo 4 – Crystal Wilkerson
i love walking around the house taking pictures of the kids doing their thing. Today’s snapshot was very interesting and quite funny. it was a little crazy at our house waiting for jimmy to get home from work. Everyone was in/out/all around… bouncing off the walls with winter drawing near. This is what things looked […]
Jimmy’s Grandma Smith is quite ill and will not live much longer. We wanted to send her a little cheer from Utah so the kids drew some Christmas pictures for her. Hannah learned how to draw a Graffiti ‘S’ from her friend at school. I love her drawing and all the things our family is […]
