After many sleepless nights and much debating, worrying, and calculating we have decided to put our home up for sale. The decision certainly did not come easy. We have a wonderful home in a spectacular neighborhood so this was very difficult for us to do.

Dad on SportsBeat
My dad was featured on SportsBeat on KSL this last weekend. He is a pretty amazing guy with a really cool story, and I thought Kathy Aiken did a pretty good job of telling his story in just over three minutes. The best part about it was showing it to the kids. They were all …
That’s what I get for trying
So following along with my New Year’s resolutions, I have been reading some books on healthy cooking. The past few weeks I have tried to cut out a lot of the enriched flour, saturated fats and simple sugars and implement some of the healthier foods into my life as well as my children’s lives. Some …
Some modest milestones
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game using a GPS, and it’s our latest family hobby. You can find out more about geocaching by reading the FAQs and also on wikipedia. Our family loves being outdoors and exploring this beautiful state, and so geocaching is something we can all enjoy together. The kids particularly like finding …
The things we love
Happy Valentine’s day! Some people hate it, some people like it. Seth and I don’t really care either way, but there is no question that my kids love any day that they can cut out hearts and get lots of candy – wahoo! My kids are young enough that the simple traditions are never left …
Drew’s Masterpiece
So young and yet so very talented. Thank goodness for non-toxic, washable markers!
Our little drama queen
Katelyn has always had a flair for the dramatic. We left her alone with the Photobooth application on our computer and when we came back we had some top-quality entertainment. We’ve compiled it into a quick video so you can enjoy it too. Make sure your volume is up so you can hear it. http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=3887471094316648937&hl=en&fs=true
To give, or not to give
Last Sunday I got a call from a young man doing and Eagle Scout project and he wanted me to donate blood. I am now on a list of regular donors to the Red Cross (Yeah, I am pretty proud of that!) Seth was gonna be working from home that afternoon so I didn’t really …
New hair, new hat
This weekend Meg got a haircut. She waited so long for it to grow out and then out of the blue, she decided she wanted it short again. Initially I was a little disappointed that she wanted to chop it all off but then Seth reminded me how much easier it would to get her …
Happy 1st Birthday Drew!
Drew turned 1 today. It is hard to believe a whole year has passed since his birth. He is the most calm, easy-going baby. We are so grateful to have him in our family. We didn’t do much to celebrate and didn’t have too many visitors (thanks to the mounds of snow we are getting) …
