Graebel was our mover and they were fantastic but nothing could make better what was happening. We were moving. We were leaving. The truck showed up (Thursday, June 24th) first thing in the morning and I was sad at the reality-the day had come and it was time to truly pack our bags. As they [...]
Zane has officially started swimming lessons. He remembered what he worked on last year and did a fantastic job. I was a bit edgy because last year he cried and cried and frankly, I didn’t want to hear it this year. My backbone has become weak. ; ( He is so excited to go again [...]
This was out take on what we usually do at the end of April. Instead of going to Utah this year, we did a trailer trash version. We stayed in the trailer and had our own little classes in the morning. I loved learning from the other girls and discussing and sharing! I didn’t take [...]
I had heard about the Boyce Thompson Arboretum a while back and after taking a recent adventure to Superior, I decided I wanted to go check it out, with my family. That was bad choice number one. Then, when I told my dear little family about the place, I told them it would take about [...]
Here is the latest of our family pictures, maybe I should say Kid Pictures, prior to family pictures? We scheduled our family session with Justine Miller Photography and this was the pre-session.

I joke about the people coming from the east coast, so amazed at the desert life. I think it is hilarious that they seek cactus, kokopellis, turquoise jewelry and dream catchers. BUT, when I reviewed the pictures from our desert hike I started to realize that I just might miss the fact that we have [...]
I couldn’t find that little rascal today. We have had a house of chaos… painters, garage sales, and a messy house. I was trying to get something done (and by the way, Zoe came home from school and said, “Mom, no my teacher knows you are always on the computer.” I was curious as to [...]
Here is what we are all sending out… If I wasn’t singing in it, I would be buying tickets! It will really be awesome! I have talked about this choir so much… the two brothers that direct this organization are amazing and one of them has done all the musical arrangements. You will be amazed! [...]
I just have to share it, write it, note it, keep it, remember it, love it, bottle it, and cherish it… I just got back from night 2 of my choir practice. It is the most amazing experience a mother of two, stay at home mom, not a master of fine arts, unaccomplished musician could [...]
