Who ordered snow? Take it back...now! I know it will be gone quickly but, eek, I don't like snow in April. I do love this time of year, however. Conference kicks it all off for me. I find it is a good time to set my personal goals and reevaluate the past six months. Give myself reluctant pats on the back and several kicks in the pants. ( Read more... )

What a lovely day! This morning we went swimming at an indoor pool with our ward moms group. It was a good time. Nicholas had a marvelous time! Owen and I were up all night...more teeth coming in. So Owen was pretty much expressionless and even fell asleep at one point with me bobbing him in the water. Never cries, just lets me string him out ( Read more... )

Today was a beautiful day! Brad was home from work because we had his baby brother Trevan with us. So, I went on a long run outside in the warm, clear morning air. It was over 50 for sure. So nice! Felt good until I got about a quarter mile from home then I wanted to just call someone for a ride. But I made it. After a shower I felt alive. ( Read more... )

I should update more often. Not only so I don't forget stuff, which I do, but because events and happenings sometimes lose their POW factor. Even if they are just everyday observations. Brad's haircut won't lose it's POW for at least a week however. Last night, mid haircut, I took off the guard to inspect the clipper making an unusually loud ( Read more... )

Yesterday at belly dancing we got to wear these fun jingly hip scarves. Oh yeah, that made it so much more fun! My neighbor ordered them off of ebay. I felt like I could wiggle better with it on. HA! It is fun to step out of my box and be silly with a bunch of other grown women. I wore the jingles inside to get a reaction out of Brad. He ( Read more... )

Today was a great day!  Brad and I went to the Temple and did a session together.  We haven't done that for over two years.  It was like eating a big salad with a lot of toppings, including the often forgotten beats.  Then remembering how much I like beats and wondering why I don't eat beats more.  Yeah, like that, but better.  It had been bugging ( Read more... )

Yesterday I found Owen standing up to our bookcase. How could that be? Thinking somehow it couldn't be true I promptly put him back on his belly. Then to his squealing delight he did it again...and again...and again. Not even seven months old. I know not unheard of, but this changes things in our little world a little sooner than expected. I ( Read more... )

Brad is flying tonight. Nicholas is asleep. Owen is drooling on my arm. I spent a couple hours today with mhovley and aloha sushi. mhovley was kind enough to teach me the art of crocheting. I felt pretty good about it when I left, but I just tried it again and I got a little messed up. Keep practicing. See, I want to make these crocheted ( Read more... )

So a few days ago Brad and I took the boys down to Cabellas, the great huge outdoorsman store. It did not disappoint. Nicholas would have stayed longer than the two hours we managed to spend there. The stuffed deer, moose, bear, real fish, the list goes on and on. There was also a bush plane with a pilot with the all important headset on, ( Read more... )
