Our Own Pumpkin Patch

Our Own Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday I realized that Halloween is really next week. I keep pretending that it is farther away because I am really not ready for it (or the ward trunk or treat that I am in charge of tomorrow).  When I realized that Halloween was infact just a few days away I decided that we had to decide if we were… Read more →

Gianluca

Gianluca

Gianluca regressed this week on his great sleeping habits.  He went from basically sleeping through the whole night to waking twice a night this week.  Not fun! He isn’t sleeping as much during the day either.  I am sure he is getting older and doesn’t need to sleep as much during the day.  He isn’t really grumpy.  He just wants… Read more →

Nevada Day

Nevada Day

Friday the kids didn’t have school.  We were celebrating Nevada Day.  Sadly we didn’t really do anything exciting. In the morning the kids and I did yard work.   I was actually surprised that they were willing to do it.  There favorite part was standing in the trash can and stomping the leaves down.    

A Field Trip

A Field Trip

This past week Curtis had a class field trip to the Wetlands.  I wasn’t planning on attending.  John was going to be out of town. Getting sitters and rides home from school for the other kids seemed too much.  Then John decided to stay home from his trip.  And since Curtis was still begging me to go I decided I… Read more →

A Party

A Party

Our good friends, The Bennett’s were sealed in the Temple last weekend.  John and I were able to attend.  It was wonderful to be at the temple with them and with all their friends and family who love them. Later in the evening we went to their wedding reception.  It was a beautiful evening.  Perfect for an outdoor party. The… Read more →

Oh Alessia

This was my facebook status last week: Baby fell asleep at 6 pm and is still sleeping. Too bad Alessia and Micah took turns waking me up repeatedly since 3am. Around 4 I woke up to Alessia stroking my arm and singing, “soft kitty, warm kitty little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty purr purr purr”. I didn’t add… Read more →

Harvest Festival

Harvest Festival

Friday night was Harvest Festival up at the kids’ school.  The kids were so excited for this night.  They had been looking forward to it for weeks.  It was what I bribed my kids with when they were being naughty. I was grateful that Aunt Mary was in town and could help me watch all the kids while we were… Read more →

Another Day At The Beach

Another Day At The Beach

Saturday, we hit up Boulder Beach again.  We took Aunt Mary with us.  Curtis and Alessia fought almost the whole 20 minutes there.  They both ended up having to do time out for a while before they could actually play on the beach. Once they did their time outs they were best of friends again.  Everyone had fun building sand… Read more →

Survived

Last week was a busy one.  John flew out of town on Friday at midnight and was gone all of last week. He was in NYC for the first half.  He then flew home, switched clothes and grabbed his car and drove to Palm Springs for another conference. When he is gone I prefer that things are busy.  It makes… Read more →
