It is hard living so far away from family, particularly family in Alaska because the travel to Utah is long and not one easily driven. This is even harder when that person is a grandma (or Oma Ria as we call her). She still hasn’t had the chance to see little Drew so she has …

Embarrassing…
Okay, so I am a sucker. My kids absolutely LOVE Hannah Montana so I decided I would do my darndest to get tickets to the Stadium of Fire featuring Miley Cyrus and the Blue Man Group. I was told the tickets were impossible to get and that I would need to get in a line …
Easter
Due to the misplacement of our camera we were delayed in getting our Easter photos posted. We had a great Easter and enjoyed the short stint of spring weather (it has snowed the last two nights).
Chicken Legs
No, I am not talking about myself, although I wish I were. Little Drew went in for his two month checkup and weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs. 3 oz. For those of you that don’t know, he weighed 8 lbs 0 oz. when he was born. That is a weight gain of 3 …
Shlumpadinka
Shlumpadinka – Oprah uses this word to describe a woman who dresses like she has completely given up. So my neighbor told me the other day that I was a “shlumpadinka”. Initially I had no idea what the word meant and after she told me I thanked her for the compliment and went about my …

Volunteering as a physical therapy aide at UVRMC Things on my …
Man Tag

Kids (and adults) do the strangest things
Okay, so I am beginning to wonder how I fit in with the rest of my family. Each kid, and my husband as well, has a strange trick they can do. Even Claire has learned at a young age how to go cross-eyed. Jacob can wiggle his ears. Megan can go cross-eyed and shake her …
