Stop Thinking About Me

I took video of each of Liv’s dances and she was so cute. She loves to go to her class and she especially loves her teachers. Classes have been on a break over Christmas and she will be happy to return this Friday. The third video is cut short because I ran our of room [...]

Gary and I just had our sixth wedding anniversary. The day started out like any other and I didn’t think about it too much. Is this what happens after six years? It turns into any other day? My mom very kindly watched the kids while we went out to eat and also while we went [...]

Our little Gray-bee has always seemed to hate the camera. Lately he has had a change of heart and now looks at the camera while saying “cheese” and his smile turns into a squinty face that looks nothing like my adorable Gray-bee. It’s nice that we have moved on from the “Deer in headlights” look [...]

Melanie made a post a while back about an opportunity to get your picture taken with a Star Wars character. I was all over it. I thought that it was going to be some people dressing in Halloween quality costumes, but when I arrived I amazed at the quality of ALL of the costumes. The [...]

It is time once again for the family Christmas Party. This year it will be held the day AFTER Christmas. It will be at the 18th ward building and I am thinking that 5:30 sounds like a good time.

Today is Holden’s birthday! He is such a busy boy and he keeps me busy with all of his curiosity. Holden makes sure that there is never a dull moment in our lives. After his three month “nursery strike” he is finally entering nursery again without any hateful declarations or protests. I can’t wait to [...]

Olivia is having her Christmas Dance Recital this Wednesday and I just wanted to get the word out in case anyone wanted to attend. I will never again ask anyone (except Gary) to attend the big recital because it was a nightmare last year. Liv danced twice and one dance was at the beginning of [...]

When Gary was getting ready to ask me to marry him he drove to the Cache Valley Mall and walked into the first jewelry store he saw. Schubach’s Jewelers. I wanted my ring to be something that Gary picked out for me, but I did send him with a few guidelines. I wanted yellow gold, [...]
