After four and a half tantrums from Lucy (didn’t she know we were doing this for her??) we arrived at our first vision walk bright and early. The kids decided we needed to have our matching t-shirts from our reunion a few years ago for two reasons: 1) they are the color of Lucy’s eyes,…
I kind of skipped over Valentine’s Day…and I really shouldn’t do that because it’s one of my favorite holidays. There’s nothing like having a whole day to reflect on how full your heart is. And mine is SO full. I adore my friends. I adore my growing-up family:(This is a super cheesy picture we took…
Oh man I am spoiled. My family took such great care of me for my birthday it made turning older with all the wrinkles and love handles worth it. They were so proud of their “post” yesterday. I came home from seven hours of church (for real…ward conferences) to all of them with sheepish grins…
We do gingerbread houses each year before Christmas. It’s fun for all of us, but I must say that the person who loves it most is our candy-holic:In her book, the more candy you can stick on there any which-way, the better.

I love Lucy’s face in this picture: But on to my “catch-up” post… Aside from the “I Love Lucy Project” hoopla (which could be a full-time job in and of itself) and all the Christmas gear-up, there’s been other stuff swirling on around here that I haven’t had a chance to write about. And I…

They wrapped and decorated everything pretty much by themselves the night before. They kept reminding her all day…
celebrated (and bemoaned) the fact that my last child turned three (more on that later) went on a romantic date with my husband to Target to shop for the presents…noticed once again how handsome he is (oops, sorry, I let that slip out) after doing P90X every day for 80 days, pulled a leg muscle…
I have a love/hate relationship with blog comments. Of course, I think it’s human nature to love to get feedback. And I couldn’t be more thankful for so many great connections out there I never would have had if not through the blog world. Through blog comments people virtually “wrapped their arms around us” when…
We’re at Aspen Grove. And it would be an understatement to say that we are loving it here. Bear Lake is over…already fading into rich memories. And it would be even more of an understatement to say that we sure adored it there. We packed up and drove away last Saturday after 21 days of…
