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. Just drench that gingerbread in the sugary goodness.This year we did our decorating…
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…
Look who turned three last week:Oh man, have I mentioned that we adore this girl?? And oh my word, I am quite sure that our other four kids were MUCH more excited about it than she was.

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…
Let’s face it, Lucy tries to wedge her way into being star of the week every week.But you have to admit, she gives me some pretty good material to work with. Name: Lucy Eyre Favorite Past Time: drawing…not only on paper, but on walls, chairs, cabinets, and most of all her shirts and legs (those…
At some point in my post-college days my family went to see “O” (the Cirque du Soleil production that takes your breath away using a huge water pool on the stage in conjunction with all the creative things they do). And they had the nerve to go without me. I don’t remember why I wasn’t…
