We have been enjoying our passes for the Oakland Zoo… it is close enough that I am willing to drive there myself, and there are rides and a park for Sophie. It is also not so big that we get too tired and cranky before we see everything. A couple weeks ago Liz and I [...]

Jeff has this thing he does, it is usually VERY annoying. He tells you to get ready, then refuses to tell you where you are going. He just says, “It’s a surprise.” Often times the surprise is walking around Costco, or Target, so something to get us out of the house. So when, on Sunday, he [...]

My best friend from high school got married this last Saturday. It was a beautiful day, and I was so, so happy that I could be a part of it all. Vi and I flew out to Utah Thursday night, and back Sunday morning… it was a fast trip, but I got to participate in [...]

Can I tell you all about a chore that I REALLY dislike? Folding laundry. It isn’t the actual laundering part I dislike, it is just the folding. But this has caused me some problems. You see, what I do is wait and wait and wait to fold laundry (I procrastinate those things I dislike, what [...]

This summer we have done a couple new things, the joy of not working full time… though it does strain my creative mommy side a bit more than just planning afternoon naps and lunch! During a hot spell this summer (I know we had one, I just can’t remember it… oh California summer, why are [...]

The next few weeks are going to be interesting… see these 2 girls:
They have been staying with us for the last week… and we have 2 more to go. They are my cousins, Kylie and Kristy… and I apparently have forgotten what teenage girls like doing… or have blocked it entirely in self-defense.
Last week they [...]

We drove down to LA for one of Jeff’s 9-80 days off… it was one of the only times we could see that we would be able to meet Baby Dean before his blessing weekend. So we tripped down to visit Sean, Rachel, Dean, as well as Andy and Daisy. It was a fun quick trip. [...]

This is my final (promise) post for Utah. I thought I would just put a couple things in that didn’t quite match up with the other posts.
Violet had a 3rd eye for a little bit of time… inside joke, so funny, and she kept making good faces while it was on!
The girls and the happy [...]

Tuesday was spent at the Discovery Gateway children’s museum. It was like a larger Habitot. Kinda cool, boring for adults (wish they wouldn’t charge full price for adults), but Sophie loved it. We started with some music, played in the full play house, complete with kitchen, ironing board and mini furniture and played fire fighter.
Then [...]

Sunday was a great day at church, visited with a couple people I hadn’t seen yet, and I do love testimony meeting on holidays, especially on the 4th. There are such great patriotic undertones. We then headed to the SL cemetery. This fall will be 10 years since my uncle passed away, and as some [...]
