Summer Fun

So, this week has been HOT. At the end of last summer Jeff and I bought the Booger a little play pool on super sale, and I finally got it out for her to play with in the 105 degree heat. I decided to blow it up while she was napping, as it [...]

How cultured are we?

Last night Jeff, Sophie and I went to the Chihuly exhibit at the de Young Museum with Jeff’s grandparents. Everyone I had talked to insisted that we go see it, and after seeing Sharyn and Grandad’s recent Chihuly acquisition we decided we should go before the exhibit left. So the five of us [...]

I promised…

I promised the results of our awful day of car shopping later, and now, later has arrived. Now, it isn’t my cousins car that gets 33 miles to the gallon (or so I hear), but we love it, and it has the required 3 rows of seats. In addition, to make us feel [...]

Go USA!!!

So, after the family reunion we headed back to my parents house for the rest of our vacation. Sophie was able to play with my cousin’s dog, Boo. She wasn’t sure how she felt about him, but she did play with him a little, we are making progress.

That Saturday we headed up to [...]

Phillips Family Reunion ‘08

So our trip to Utah was fun. This time we were headed up near Ogden for a family reunion at Allen Ranch. It was cool. The ranch was big enough to hold all 76 of us who showed up. That is right 76. This was a reunion for my dad’s [...]
