My girls have been a little jealous of all my crafting. I do most of them while they are away at school. [**Speaking of, I have two more cute things I made. I made a cute Halloween banner and some spiders made out of large beads. Both turned out great.] Anyway, I noticed that Robert’s …

Uncle Derek’s 2 hour visit
I haven’t seen my brother since his wedding which was a little over four years ago. Alison, his wife, scheduled his monthly trip to Alaska (for work) to have a two-hour layover in Salt Lake. We packed up all the kids and headed up to see him. It was short and a bit hectic. Hanging …
Hide the scissors!
Claire was over at her friend Allie’s house last week. Together they love to play models, dress-up, and anything that involves looking cute and prancing around. Somehow they both managed to find a pair of scissors and they began chopping away. Thankfully Claire’s hair was in a pony tail, as were her bangs so she …
Halloween fun!
One of the greatest things about being in a new home is getting ready to decorate for the holidays. I absolutely love Halloween and Christmas and have been looking forward to decorating since back in August. One of the not-so great things about buying a new home is that I no longer have the extra …
Late night with the girls!

Nap Time
Nap time is already starting to become a problem with Drew. He rarely actually falls asleep. Since he is only two I am not willing to give up his naps just yet. Nap time generally starts with him trying to get out of his room. From there I usually put a wash cloth in the …
Silver Lake
Yesterday we met up with Seth’s mom and dad, Rach and Spencer, and Joe’s boys and went up into Big Cottonwood Canyon to hike around Silver Lake. We weren’t the only ones with this idea because it was jam packed full of people and unfortunately we missed a lot of the beautiful fall colors but …
Masterpiece
Here is the artist: Yes, that is a permanent marker. And yes, that shirt is ruined. Here is his masterpiece: I learned a few things from this incident. First, and most important, I need to hide the permanent markers even higher than I had them. Second, surprisingly, hand sanitizer removes permanent marker from skin (*Note …
She’s on the go!
Ellie has progressed into the world of mobility. She is up on all fours and crawling all around the house. She reminds me of a sneaky little creature the way she creeps around the house showing up where you least expect her. I walk around the corner and she is slowly and carefully peeking her …
