**I could only find pictures of one of the rooms that I describe here, so I scattered pictures of that room throughout the descriptions of the others** Through the kitchen was the opening to the hallway. I loved grandma’s hall. She kept giant bullion boards filled with pictures. She had an assortment of pictures old [...]

The door that we used most to go in and out of Grandma’s house was probably the back sliding door. As you walked in the door you were instantly surrounded by the dark wood paneling that covered the walls. There was a stone wall to the left with a fireplace and a stone ledge in [...]

Charlotte wanted me to play a game with her. I told her that I needed to unload the dryer first. As a form of protest, she climbed into my laundry basket as I was pulling the clothes out. I just continued my work and pulled clothes out on top of her. Soon she thought this [...]

I took some days off this week, so I thought I’d spend a day with each of the older children. When I asked them what they wanted to do, Isaac wanted to go to a mountain far away, and Charlotte wanted to look at fish. So Thursday morning, Isaac and I set out for Arches [...]

I got Isaac this bubble rocket for Easter. I had some fear that it wouldn’t be a great gift, but it was a big hit. First they played with it inside (with no bubble solution) and had lots of fun torpedoing the rocket into the air by stepping on (or jumping on) a plastic pouch [...]

She must be teething, there’s no other explanation for her mutilation of this package of bologna. I had to pry it from her cute little hands so the cashier could ring it up and Nicole cried until the bologna was returned to her. The cashier said she’d never seen a kid do that with bologna, [...]

When Easter comes around, I’m glad that my kids actually like to eat hard boiled eggs, because I don’t like them in any form. I boiled the eggs today and one of the eggs cracked, so I gave the cracked one to the kids while it was still hot. They enjoyed it so much that [...]

**I wrote this on April Fool’s day, but couldn’t post it until now, I’ve got some great pictures to post with it once I get this issue fixed** Anyone who knows my brother Bryan, knows that April Fools Day may be the most important day of the year—at least to him. He loves not only [...]
