A Picnic at the Library

A Picnic at the Library

One afternoon I needed to return some over due books to the Library (my books are always over due) so I decided to just make it into a fun picnic.  I packed lunchables for Micah and Gianluca to eat.  We had fun eating outside on the little patio.  We then were able to go in and pick out new books… Read more →

A picnic at the Temple

A picnic at the Temple

On a Sunday that John was out of town I decided to take the kids up to the Temple to have a picnic lunch.  We finished our picnic just as security came by to let us know we weren’t allowed to sit on the grass with blankets.  We were also told you couldn’t play on the grass to the right… Read more →

Date Night

Date Night

John took Alessia out on date to see the BYU Ballet perform.  Alessia was so excited to get all dressed up.  She was even more excited to be able to go out with her daddy.  I love that we take turns taking the kids out on special one on one dates.  They don’t happen as often as we would like… Read more →

Playing in the Rain

Playing in the Rain

A friend of ours was looking for people willing to have their pictures taken in the rain.  I volunteered Alessia for the fun project because usually she is so camera happy. While she loved getting her picture taken she wasn’t the best at taking directions.  My kids love to come up with their own poses. The boys and I also… Read more →

JAWS

JAWS

We have loved doing JAWS again this year.  We try to make it up to school early every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  The kids love socializing with their friends. I love socializing with mine.  And we get in a few laps every morning too.  We all absolutely love Mrs. Gronert and Ms. Johnson-Williams.  They are the best P.E. teachers…. Read more →

Go-carts

Go-carts

For Christmas John’s parents gave us money to spend on a family outing.  We decided it would be fun to try out a local go-carting place.  We invited our friends, the Bennett’s to join us.  It was really nice having them tag along since all of our children needed an adult to ride to the big go-carts with.  Gianluca even… Read more →

1st Grade Music Night

1st Grade Music Night

Alessia had her music night back in January.  Her class performed a cute little Hawaiian number.  They do to dance the hula. So many people came up afterwards to comment on how good Alessia was at the hula.  I think all her practice at the PCC last summer helped. The music night was really nice. I have to try really… Read more →

Family Bike Ride

Family Bike Ride

John bought me a new bike for Christmas. I was so excited. I have been wanting one for a long time. In January I went out to look for a bike seat for Gianluca. I found one on clearance at Target.  Once we got it installed we tested Micah out on it and since he still fit in it I… Read more →

Brothers

Brothers

Oh how these two boys love and adore each other.  They love to hug each other and be around each other.  With that being said they also like to hit each other.  Micah’s favorite thing to ask me is “is it Gianluca’s nap time yet”? I just love how much the adore each other. I really think they are going… Read more →

Our little Micah is usually so fun to be around.  He has the greatest little mind. He says the funniest things.  He is a thinker.  He loves to come up with new ways to play games.  He can entertain himself for hours.  He has such a strong imagination. I love all these pictures of him playing this tetras like game. … Read more →
