I am hijacking Becky’s blog (with permission, so I guess, not technically hijacking) to announce our new joint venture of epic proportions: a 21 day challenge to go to bed early. 10 p.m. to be explicit. Doesn’t seem very epic, you say? It is epic because I am an addict. I have been since before […]

“I am a stinky, p.u., beautiful princess” – Katey, 3:42 p.m. on a Tuesday (Jan. 25, 2011 to be exact) She’s right on all counts. Well, was right. I did change her bum before the photo shoot. And a few minutes later after some accessorizing: We talked for a few minutes about beauty and good […]

Hmmm… I might need to change the title if this gets to be a habit. 😉 Here’s the flashback for last week: My dad and older siblings are in this photo. Based on ages I was probably down for a nap or sitting on my mom’s hip while she took the photo. 😉 I wish […]

I am loving looking through all the photos from our trip. We used goblets for fry sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate milk, but not orange juice. We ran around barefoot in the sand dunes at Snow Canyon and *almost* attempted a hike up an extinct volcano. The trail was a little too snowy and muddy. […]

How are you celebrating? We are having muffins for breakfast. (Obviously I didn’t get the memo in time.) I did receive an email from Martha this morning with the cutest craft for pie day. A paper pie box. I’m saving the template for next year. Really, those emails should come at least a week early, […]

My man and I celebrated our eleventh anniversary. The real day is on New Years Eve. We love to celebrate the new year with the kiddos and then, if possible, take a week a little later in January for a getaway. We always pick a whole day to celebrate us. It’s like a joint birthday. […]

What do we do on our anniversary get-a-ways? Just the two of us, without any children? Why we eat smiley face pancakes with chocolate milk filled goblets and jump on the bed of course. We also watched “Despicable Me” for the first time. All the way through. In the middle of the day! *sigh* I […]

on a Saturday evening. 🙂 This one is dedicated to my love! 11 years (and a little bit) ago we hooked up for eternity. This photo is from our first Christmas Eve together: I love the dreamy feel. That’s how I felt. We spent the week leading up to Christmas in my childhood home. Many […]

My one little word for 2011; effort. It feels big to me. Let me tell you how it came about. This story starts decades ago when my mom would pick a color and word for the year. She selected a word that she wanted to focus on in her scripture study. Now, naturally you need […]

I have too many wonderful photos that do not see the light of day very often. It is so fun to pull them out and relive the memories. This category is dedicated to all those who made my childhood wonderful. And to my children, who will hopefully feel the same way someday. The first to […]
