Vacation

Image
By
Wow, we had a whirlwind of a trip two weeks ago. I'm still trying to recover. Here are just some of the highlights:

Water Gun Fights at Grandma and Grandpa's


Visiting with our Siblings

Seeing Aunts and Uncles for the first time


Playing with Nieces and Nephews

Seeing our children's Great Grandparents

Visiting with our children's Grandparents


Playing with Cousins

Bumper Boats

Hiking to Grotto Falls

Playing Rock Band

And ... Stopping at the Mormon Trail Center on our way home

It was a lot of fun to see everyone. There are so many of you missing from these pictures ... I wish I had taken more pictures; but, I wouldn't trade the time I spent with you instead of taking pictures. Thank you to all our family for making the time for us, and making it such a fun time!

I'm so glad that we got to see you, even if the time was too short. I just wish that I wouldn't have lost my camera so I could have gotten some photos with you all. I'm glad you had a great trip.

All the vacation pictures are great...wait a minute, I thought Kate was 7 -- did you figure out how to keep her from growing up so fast? I need that trick -- I have a few too many years. Maryanne is adorable. It's fun to see your other children's expressions in her features. One of her bath pictures she looks just like Kate. What a fun baby.

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
