Mana

We just got back from Jeff’s birthday present… the Mana concert. While Jeff was in Guatemala he, as I believe almost all Spanish speaking missionaries do, fell in love with Mana. So when our good friend Matt tried to get us to fly to Vegas to see them at a casino, we looked [...]

Sophie’s first trip to the zoo

While we were in Utah we took Sophie to Hogle Zoo, which they have totally redone since my 12th birthday party. It was really nice, and Sophie paid attention to a little of it. She liked all the monkeys and the baby orangutan all of which moved a lot. Jeff and [...]

BYU vs UCLA…

So as I am back at work, I find I have less energy to write during the week, so, sorry. Last weekend we went down to LA for the BYU game, which I ranted about earlier. But it was fun to take Sophie to her first college game experience, and we got to [...]

Oh what a world…

So I am sitting in our hotel in Beverly Hills (sounds so much cooler than LA does it not?) wondering if the refs at todays BYU-UCLA game were in cahoots with Donaghy (the point-shaving ref from the NBA), and being slightly depressed that we didn’t win today’s game, thinking to myself… “what in the world [...]

Back to the grind…

So this week was my first week back after maternity leave. I love my job, I really do, I just am not sure that I was totally ready to return to work. The plus side is that I am only working 6 hours days, I am finished by 1… so every day feels [...]

Labor Day weekend continues…

This weekend was full of lots of things, not just sports. Grandma came to town with Auntie Jan, and saw Sophie learn all kinds of new things. They also brought all new clothes for the Princess and her mother (which mom is forever grateful for). The Princess loves showing off her new [...]

A sports filled day

Saturday was a sports day of epic proportions.  First off we went to the A’s game for our luxury box… as always- too much food and lots of good company.  Unfortunately the A’s are just not the team we hoped they would be this year… we lost.  But Sean and Rachel came into town and [...]

Ode to a Piggy

Oh, precious piggy…

What would the princess do without you? Would she sleep in her crib? I dare say not… and that is why… we LOVE the pig.
This pig was bought during a stay at the Apple Farm, a superb hotel… where you get a free apple for your stay and comfy bathrobes to wear down [...]

The new headline…

So I am testing the new name out… it is always possible it will be gone in a few days, but wifey-pants was kind of random and I felt a change coming… so for now I introduce: (big trumpeting fanfare here) T-Mac and the Booger!!!  My Sunday School kids in Jersey called me T-Mac, for [...]
