Stop Thinking About Me

Gary was planning a trip to Burley so he could deliver dishwasher racks to his mother. His plan was to leave Sunday morning and come back that same night. Gary offered to take all three kids with him, but I told him, “No, just take baby Gray. Liv and Holden need to go to Nursery and [...]

The first time I went floating in the canal was over twenty years ago with Holly, Scott and cousin Brigham. We picked a random starting point, got in the water with our tubes and started floating along. After a few blocks, Brigham got into his head that we would eventually float right by his house [...]

   My original plan for celebrating baby Gray’s birthday was to have a small party for him on Monday. My poor Liv woke up Monday morning not feeling well so I postponed the party until Tuesday.
I made a lasagne and Holden helped me make the cake that Olivia picked out. Cousin Wellsy was his little friend that [...]

Olivia wasn’t feeling very well so I took her up to bed early. While I was upstairs saying prayers with Liv and tucking her in, my sweet baby Gray decided that he was a pioneer and needed his ration of flour for the day. He crawled into the kitchen and pulled himself up to the [...]

 Baby Gray turns one today! Gray has added so much to our family and he is so sweet and loving (If you have food for him). He loves to play with his toys and especially cars. He is ALL boy!

My mom owns an adult size tricycle… You read that right. While my cousins, Yuri and Kirill, were visiting they rode my dad’s bike and my mom’s tricycle around town. One day they came over to our house so Gary and I, of course, took our turns on the “You look like a crazy riding [...]

My little baby Gray is on the verge of taking his first real steps. He has taken a few very shakey steps already, but the third step is really more of a lunge toward open arms. He is desparate to be up and playing with all of the “big kids” and he hates being left [...]

I was shopping at the grocery store, the other day, and I came across a new product. Cereal Straws. They come in two “cereal flavors”, Cocoa Krispies and Froot Loops. On “sale” for $3 I decided to try one of the flavors. The Cocoa Krispies only had the one flavor, but the Froot Loops had [...]

Olivia, Holden and baby Gray got into their swimsuits and headed outside for tons of water fun. Most of the videos is of baby Gray because I was amazed that he was crawling around in the water and loved every minute of it. I guess I was expecting him to be more of a sissy [...]

Around the time my little Liv turned one and started using a pillow, I realized that the only fun pillowcases that I had for her were two different Star Wars ones. Nerding her out that young was fun for a while, but she wasn’t having as much fun as me. Around this same time I [...]
