Micah

Micah

Oh my sweet Micah.  He is all registered for Kindergarten. I can’t believe he will be away from home for half a day all week days next year.  He has been my little sidekick for so long. Of all my kids he is probably the most attached to me.  He likes being with me.  And I of course love being… Read more →

Utah

Utah

John was gracious enough to allow me to ditch out on my responsibilities at home so I could attend Women Conference at BYU again this year.  He does such a great job taking care of the kids and the house while I am gone.  He never complains that I leave him for 4 days.  (Unlike I do when he leaves… Read more →

Field Day

Field Day

It is hard to believe that this school year is almost over.  The Elementary School had their annual Field Day two weeks ago.  We have to have it early in order to avoid the heat.  The weather was nice although quite windy the day we had field day. John, Micah, Gianluca and I were able to join Alessia and Curtis… Read more →

Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach

The day after we did Disneyland we headed to the beach. It was a cold day so I thought there was no way we would get in the water but I was wrong.  When we made it to the beach it really wasn’t as cold as I thought. Luckily we brought all of our swim suits just in case.  The… Read more →

We thought for Spring Break we would go to San Diego and play at Mission Beach.  However, by the time we got around to finding a place to stay every place was booked.  We found a cute house to rent in Anaheim though and decided to switch directions.  Since we were going to Anaheim we decided we ought to do… Read more →

Curtis is TEN!

Curtis is TEN!

Curtis is now in his double digits.  He is ten years old. It really is unbelievable.  Since he is so obsessed with Despicable Me and Minions I decided to make him a minion cake.  It was my first attempt at a birthday cake.  It turned out pretty decent.  However, I must say I think it is cheaper and I know… Read more →

Pinewood Derby

Pinewood Derby

This April was Curtis’s third Pinewood Derby.  He has known since last year that he wanted to make a Minion Bus.  He did a bit of research to figure out how best to create a minion bus. I did the research on how to make it fast.  In the end our research paid off and we had a really cool… Read more →

Gianluca

Gianluca

Gianluca is all boy.  He loves cars.  He loves balls.  He loves being a dare devil.  He thinks he is one of the big kids.  He tries as hard as can be to do everything that the older kids do.  He is stubborn too.  He gets mad if we don’t allow him to do things.  When he is doing things… Read more →

Curtis

Curtis

Curtis is growing up so quickly.  He is a mini adult.  He thinks he is so funny.  He loves to debate with me on everything.  One Sunday he had on a very wrinkly shirt.  We had the following conversation. Me: Is there a shirt that isn’t so wrinkly? Curtis: Yes Me: Can you please put it on? Curtis: No.  I… Read more →
