We hope everyone has a spectacularly ghoulish Halloween! Our Halloween will be filled with class parties, trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, scary movies, and lots and lots of treats. By bedtime the kids should be completely worn out. This year Jacob dressed up as a football player. Yes, I believe he was a football player last year, …

She can pose!
Last week during UEA weekend we tried to come up with some simple, but fun activities for the kids. Visiting dad’s work is always at the top of this list. They love to eat at the Cafe, play out in the beautiful gardens, feed the fish, and sneak treats out of dad’s candy jar. (side …
Toothless wonder!
It seems that every day Megan comes home from school disappointed that another classmate had lost their tooth. She so badly wanted it to be her. She’s had a wiggly tooth for a couple months now, but didn’t want to disturb it for fear it might hurt. I noticed it was starting to turn grey …
Holy Costco!
Whoever said little kids don’t eat a lot have not met my children. My most recent trip to Costco resulted in a van full of bread (6 loaves to be exact), four gallons of milk, 1 large block of cheese…and no, this is not food storage for the year, but merely just the staples for …
Snow what?
Yes, it is true. We got our first snowfall on October 12. That seems really early to me. As a matter of fact, I rarely remember seeing snow before Halloween since I moved to here from Alaska. This year appears to be quite different. My kids didn’t really know what to think. This picture of …
Happy Birthday Seth!
Today is Seth’s 32nd birthday. I seriously remember when we were sixteen like it was yesterday. So much time has passed… but at least it was time that we spent together and I love that! The kids wanted to make Seth breakfast. We do breakfast every year but I decided this year I would like …
Biking
After hurting my hip while training for the Provo 1/2 marathon in August, I decided I needed another exercise besides running. Seth quickly suggested I take up biking so I could ride with him. Not completely convinced I would love the sport enough to purchase an expensive bike, I decided to ride around my old …
Drew’s first symphony
Seth and the kids were playing around with Drew and getting some pretty good giggles. This went on for nearly 30 minutes, but we’ve captured only about 30 seconds for you to enjoy. http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-6868901389870228762&hl=en&fs=true
The colors of fall
We recently took a drive to Silver Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon with G’pa and G’ma Johnson. Although the weather didn’t cooperate entirely, we were still able to enjoy the beautiful colors that accompany this time of year.
A kid’s perspective on the ecosystem – chocolate milk or bust!
Jacob brought home an assignment he had completed in his third grade class this week. Seth and I read his comments on the bottom of the page in reference to the question: “Using the illustration, explain how you become a part of the simple food chain” and got a good chuckle. One of the great …
