We filled this last weekend up with all sorts of things. Since the weather dipped from 110 to a mere 95 (or something like that), we decided to take these guys on a bike/scooter ride to breakfast. It was one of those days where the sky is blue and the world is good, and you…
Last weekend Dave and I got to go with Grace back to her mission stomping grounds: Austin, Texas. Gosh, there is something about Texas, and we got to experience it with our Texas girl. We packed our three days chock full of everything we possibly could. We visited all her areas (four of them), visited…
Boy howdy, a lot happened in December. Let’s get to it. Our sweetest ever friends knew Dave didn’t want a lot of hoopla for his bday (back at the end of November), so they figured we could just put together a home-made dinner to celebrate him. His face shows kind of how he felt about…

Last weekend Dave and I had the opportunity for a little trip to Elle and Carson’s neck of the woods for a pretty special experience: Elle’s first time through the temple. It was pretty happy I have to say. Elle had prepared herself quite beautifully. Among other things she had requested this book (for her…
I have a crazy love for Fall leaves. Who else is with me? They are incredible, and I yearn for them every year. I am SO GRATEFUL I have made it a tradition to go hike with my sisters each Fall so I can luxuriate in their beauty (both the sisters as well as the…
My brother is one of my favorite people. Well, I have five brothers, and they’re all my favorites for all kinds of different reasons, but the one I want to talk about today is Tal. And Tal married a Swiss girl named Anita. And the two of them, along with their daughter have built a…
