Charlotte is giving the talk in Primary next Sunday and her topic is the Restoration. They have been talking about the Restoration all month in primary (and her brother gave 2 talks early in the month about it), anyway, I thought I ‘d ask her what she knew and have her write her own talk. [...]

The weather has been great this week with lots of sunshine. On Friday we decided that we wanted to go somewhere as a family to enjoy the weather. Zach came home a little early for our adventure. We thought we’d got to Coulon Beach Park, but a lot of other people had the same idea [...]

For Isaac’s Student of the week/VIP week we were provided with a list of things we could bring in. We decided to make two small posters of pictures and bring in a few beloved possessions. The first one is mostly full of Isaac at different places (Arches, mountain top, Washington DC, Norris Dam, ect) the [...]

Nicole has figured out how to get her own drink of water from the fridge. It’s a little unnerving. She can just barely reach the very bottom edge of the water dispenser if she pushes with her fingers. It means that when she’s done filling it, she has to let it slide down before she [...]

I just couldn’t take the mullet anymore. I always get impatient for my girls to grow enough hair to have a normal hairstyle.
Here’s the before:
It doesn’t look like you can tell in these pictures, but in the back she had a shorter layer on top and then a longer layer which was very thin [...]

I am finally getting around to blogging about Nicole’s Birthday, but better late than never, right?
We started things off with a special breakfast of sausage, heart shaped eggs, and birthday juice. (I almost never buy juice for the kids because of the sugar content, so the juice was extra special—it was Nicole’s favorite part of [...]

I was going to make Nicole monkey cupcakes since she love Curious George so much, but when I showed her pictures of them on the computer she wasn’t particularly excited. When I showed her these color burst cupcakes she jumped up, yelled cupcakes, and started pretending to eat them.
Lest you get too impressed, you [...]

I am lucky to have (and have had) amazing mothers and grandmothers in my life.
What says mother’s day more than children’s artwork?
Isaac brought these home from school: (I love that it’s raining on our house—I guess we’ve been in Seattle for a little while now). Here’s the inside:

Nicole turned 3 yesterday. I started writing this post before her birthday, but I was too tired to finish it the last two days so instead of posting it first thing on her birthday, I’m posting it the next day.
It is always amazing to me to look back and see how much my children [...]

I’ve been eagerly anticipating Nicole’s birthday. I think it’s because it feels like it’s been a long time since we celebrated a birthday around here. The birthdays in our family fall as follows: May, June, July, December, December, December. It was a challenge to celebrate all our December birthdays this last year because we were [...]

Charlotte and Nicole are learning to appreciate each other. They like to be together and they like to hug. I would still rank Isaac #1 in Charlotte’s choices for a playmate, but I can see the bond growing between my two oldest girls. Nicole looks up to Charlotte and tries to imitate her and wants [...]

Charlotte has been excited about going to kindergarten for a long time, probably since Isaac started school. I think that she thought she could go as soon as she turned 5 last December. Isaac tried to tell her the other day that she wouldn’t like homework to which she replied “I don’t know if I’ll [...]
