On Christmas Eve we had our friends, the Mosely’s over. They have 4 kids around our kids ages. The kids had fun running around and playing while us adults could sit and eat and talk. It was really fun having them over. It makes it seem a little more like Christmas when you have someone else to share it with…. Read more →
I cannot believe it is the end of December. I have been in a blogging funk lately. I just haven’t wanted to do it. Plus, I have been a grinch this Christmas and haven’t really done that many fun things with the kids. And even when we did something fun I didn’t bring my camera so there is no proof…. Read more →
I do not know why I torture myself with running races. I am not fast and I tend to get lost a lot (why me?). But yet, over and over again I sign up for races and do them. The one good thing about them is they keep me running every morning. Now that I don’t have a race in… Read more →
While in Utah we had John’s sister, Natalie take some pictures of our family. We were able to go up to Temple Square on Thanksgiving and have it mostly to ourselves. The kids had a blast running around the grounds and actually did fairly well for the photoshoot.
We decided that we would head to Utah for Thanksgiving this year. The idea sounded great before I did the 9 hour drive to and from New Mexico solo. Afterwards I wondered why we were driving so long again for such a short trip. But the drive went much better with John to talk to along the way and we… Read more →
In early November, my kids had 4 days off of school that coincided with my niece, Abby’s baptism. So the kids and I headed on our first adventure to New Mexico. (Due to work and a scouting trip (that ended up being cancelled) John stayed home). I have driven to Utah numerous times with the kids solo but this was… Read more →

Then there was the kids got to parade around the track for all those parents/siblings who wanted to come and watch. When we… Read more →
This year I was in charge of our Ward’s Trunk or Treat. I decided I enjoy the trunk or treat so much more when I can just attend and not do anything. Our ward is great though and every job I delegated got done. I was able to do all my tasks before the event began so I was actually… Read more →
The 2nd grade classes at Curtis’s school worked on reports about bats. Luckily, for me they did all the work during school hours. One day they had a bat fair so all the parents could come and see what they had been working on. Alessia and I went up to see Curtis’s work. It was fun to see all the… Read more →
Since Curtis was off of school in October for Nevada Day we decided to take a fun little trip to Southern Utah. We drove up one morning to St. George and stopped for lunch before hitting up Staheli Farm where they have a fun Pumpkin Patch with lots of games and activities. We spent hours there and were never bored. … Read more →
