I defy any one person to keep track of Claire for more than an hour. It’s an impossibility. Claire is the very embodiment of a free spirit. Now that she’s more mobile, Claire loves to explore the world around her — and is not the least bit deterred when no one else joins her. She …

You’ve got to be kidding!
So I bought a couple boxes of candy to give to a few of my neighbors for helping us in our yard the other day. I wrote a cute little note and tied a bow around them and distributed them accordingly. Later that afternoon Seth came up to me and asked me where all the …
Mother’s Day
Growing up, I loved my mom dearly but not until I had children of my own could I truly appreciate what it took to be a mother. Being a mom requires a huge amount of work, sacrifice, time, patience and love. Every morning we wake up thinking about our children and go to bed hoping …
They just know…
I am the type of person that is generally able to handle all the things that are thrown my way. It takes a lot to trip me up from my daily routine and when I am feeling that I can barely keep my head above water I usually put on a good show so it …
Girl’s Night!
Seth had a scout campout tonight so the girls and I decided to have a pajama party with a couple of their close friends. We played outside games for a while and then had pizza. After dinner we gave each other crazy hair, painted nails, drew pictures on our cheeks (flowers, hearts and worms — …
Spring break in Colorado
Seth had an Oracle Convention in Denver during spring break so we took that opportunity to visit our great friends that live just outside of Denver in Arvada. We spent the whole week with them and their kids. There were 11 kids and 4 adults in one house and believe it or not, it wasn’t …
Dance Festival
Every year the 2nd graders at our elementary school prepare for weeks for a big dance festival. Jacob seemed nervous as the days to the performance drew nearer, but he did great! We shot some video so we could share the moment with our friends and family. Young man has skills!
Drew at 3 months (esp for Oma Ria)
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 …
Kid Number 6 on the Way
Yep, that’s right. We are having a hard time believing it too. Little Drew will have a little brother or sister November 18th (or nearby — you know how due dates are). We’re a little concerned that we won’t be able to fit in our house, go anywhere as a family in our minivan, or …
