This year of baseball has been a challenge to say the least. The weather never seemed to cooperate which meant practices never happened. Our coach was a good guy but it was his first year coaching and he was still learning the game. We ended the regular season ranked 7 out of 9. Jacob was …

A Day at the Zoo
The sun was shining and good friends were visiting so we decided to make the trek to the Utah Hogle Zoo. It was pretty busy and parking was scarce, but once we made it through the gate we had a blast. Little Drew was so fun to watch. He especially loved all the animated dinosaurs …
Jake for President
A couple weeks before school ended, Jake came home and told me he was thinking of running for Student Council Vice-President. I was a little surprised, but happy he was interested in trying something new. Seth asked him why he didn’t just run for president. Jake said a lot of people were running for president. …
Thomas the Tank Engine
This past week, Drew and I met up with Rachel, Spencer and Wyatt and went to visit Thomas the Tank Engine up in Heber. Thankfully the weather cooperated and we had a great time. We got there in the nick of time and hopped on the train for a short ride through town and back. …

We got a walker!
I know this post is a tad overdue, but Ellie hasn’t been such a little stinker about walking that I felt it was important to make note of the fact that she is finally walking. She started crawling really early, probably earlier than all my kids (minus Jacob). I just knew that she would walk …
Missy Prissy Tea Party
We have been throwing the idea around for over a year now that it would be fun to do a little tea party with all the granddaughters but nothing has ever come of it. A few weeks ago we decided it was time to make it happen so Rach, Mom and I put a plan …
Tulip Festival – Thanksgiving Point
Yesterday we decided to meet up with Rachel, her kids, and Grandma Jan and go to Thanksgiving Point to see all the beautiful tulips. It turned out to be a beautiful day (not too hot, not too cold). The kids had a great time. The fish were a favorite and we probably spent 45 minutes …
