Sydney’s Sleepover
For Sydney’s sleepover weekend we had one purpose and one only…to find her a dress! It is so hard lately to find age appropriate modest dresses for tween girls! So we set out on Friday to the mall in search of such a dress. We went from one end of the place to the other […]

A new call
We are in a new Ward now, and that means new callings…right? For Todd the answer is yes. He was called last Sunday to be a Ward Missionary. He is very excited about this new opportunity to serve. Its something he has never done before either – so that is always fun. It will be […]

Independance Day
We spend a rainy fourth of July milling about the house relaxing. Todd and the kids ambushed me the night before and forced me to buy fireworks (though I refused to allow them to go across the river to get illegal ones…oh how they begged!). We BBQed steak and watched some movies and then Kinsey […]

This is Todd and Kinsey learning how to install their first toilet seat. Tatie had some fun playing in the mostly […]

Yummy Treats and Summer Fun
For years I have longed for a time when the girls could camp out in the back yard under the stars the way I did when I was a kid. When we lived in Louisville our home was not fenced and so back yard camp outs had to be supervised by Dad because of the […]

A New Look
Its that time of year again! Time for new pictures of my girls and a new look for my blog. They are growing up far too fast for my liking. Todd was particularly dismayed at their grown-upness. But alas, what can you do but to admire the beauty. 😀 And I have to add that […]

For the seventh grade end of the year project they built rockets! And when you build a rocket you have to set it off right? A few days before school was out everyone filed out to the baseball field to set off their creations. Kinsey named hers CLOVER 7. She was called onto the field […]
