Zach has enjoyed having these bunnies nesting in the yard.  He was checking on them daily and inviting the children out to see them.  The last few days he’s gone so far as to extract the little critters from their home.  Their eyes have opened up and they’re now furry and as they grow they [...]

Zach pulled the little bunnies out today to show the kids.  They’re silly little things.  Two of them tried to hop away and had to be chased down the first time he pulled them out. Here’s a better shot of the little guy (or gal, who knows). And this one’s good for more perspective on [...]

Their mom is feeding them about once a night, between 7 and 9 PM.  They look pretty healthy; their eyes are opening and their fur is growing.  I try not to bug them more than it takes to peek in and make sure they’re fat and healthy.

Is that I get to hang out with my cousin’s wife and their kids.  I think we get along very well and are similar in strange ways.  Like we both cry at the drop of a hat (or the sound of a shoe falling down the stairs—there’s a story behind this that made me both [...]

Isaac really wanted to make something with this heart sticker, so we decided that he could write a letter to his grandma.  This is his first handwritten letter to grandma: He insists on making periods and dotting the letter i with an enormous circle.

I decided to make pie the other day for an impromptu get together with some friends (who happen to also be relatives), but when I looked in the cupboard I only had one of each kind of pie filling, so this is what I did:And it worked out perfectly! I made a lattice top, but [...]

My father’s favorite thing to do when his grandsons come to visit is to give them forklift rides: So when he saw this picture of my grandfather he said “Mom, your family is a forklift family"

Every so often I think I should write a blog post, but then I never do.  I blame the fact that I have 4 children and whenever I sit down to do something not related to cleaning, the house seems to fall apart.  The other night I updated my log of funny things my kids [...]

On my birthday I’ll take some time to be a little self-indulgent and describe myself and some of the ways I’ve changed.  I’m a bit plumper than I once was.  I’m about 185 lbs these days, where just a few years ago I was 155.  My hair is receding just a bit, but it’s at [...]

For all our struggles and trials, we have so many things for which to thanks our Maker.  I love the WSJ editorial today, recounting the trials of the Plymouth colony.  Our ancestors were sturdy souls.  Here are a few things I’m grateful for: I have a great job.  I work with a great group of [...]

When Zach first suggested taking a job out of [...]

I was very impressed with this hike.  One of the most beautiful places I’ve been.  I think Deseret Peak and the surrounding wilderness area compare very favorably to Timpanogos. I’m a little thrashed; due to a road closure and some “scenic” route choices, we wound up going about 17 miles today, gaining about 4500’.  We [...]
