Since I have mentioned that there is always an unexpected problem around here, I might as well put this… a problem! We have had this problem for a while but haven’t been willing to put money into a TV since we hardly ever watch TV. The problem started with a little yellow circle on [...]
“mmmoooooommmmmmyyyyy!” (extreme tears, screams, etc.) I shut off the law mower (yes, I mowed the lawn for Tim today-I didn’t quite get it done before he got home so he caught me doing what I had hoped would be a surprise and then since I didn’t cut it low enough, he went out and finished [...]
I was thinking about what I would do when Zane is in preschool. I can’t imagine what I will fill my days with… a job? More photography? back to school? Then, I went in my closet and remembered how frustrated I am about the lack of organization going on around here! I am ready to [...]
Our last vacation of the “summer” (meaning before we had to be home for Zoe’s school) was to Newport Beach. We decided to camp on the beach for the first time at Newport Dunes. It was an experience and we are always learning! The beach was great for the kids. We tried to run into [...]

She got a hold of my camera today and it seemed to be almost as big as her. Anyhow, she wanted to know how to turn it on and off. I put it on automatic and let her go to town. I heard the flash all over the house and then she disappeared downstairs for [...]
OK, kids really do say the darndest things! Zane: (after taking my ice cream cone) Mom, I hold your ice cream now. Too bad for you Zane: (taking him to the doctor for his 3 yr old well child) Mom, I don’t want to go to the doctor Me: the doctor needs to check [...]
Well, I suppose when I decide to do something, it becomes difficult to get in the way. Sorry about that if I have ever offended or hurt some feelings. This weight thing is going alright so far. Last night at my official weigh in contest with mom and Lindsey I was down 5 pounds. We [...]
the AZ winds were crazy, I mean CRAZY tonight. I was in the middle of FHE (trying to be a good little mommy and teach my kids about President Monson) and suddenly I felt as if we might blow away. We paused our education to look out the window and watch as the storm blew [...]
