Not a lot has been happening, just everyday life stuff for the most part. Things are slow so I have been working less, and seem to be getting less done at home, too. But I have noticed that with the extra time I’ve been able to feel more connected to my kids and I’ve loved [...]

Near disaster

Take a closer look at those tile pictures below. Now image that tile floor covered in water; all but the row closest to the carpet on each side. That’s what we experienced yesterday afternoon about an hour before a showing for a prospective buyer. Crazy. I’m already so glad we have tile because if this accident [...]
Last minute home improvement

After learning about the uncertainty of Trevor’s job, we decided to sell the house. We met with a realtor who suggested we tile the master bathroom. Trevor and I have never liked the carpet in there anyway, but I didn’t like the idea to upgrade just to sell. Oh well. If it helps it sell [...]

This is an outfit a friend gave us at the surprise shower. I’ve been so excited for Sidney to wear it. The little bear was a gift from another friend. Sidney was asleep for the most part and we had a great time posing him and snapping LOTS of pictures. I’ll just post a few [...]
Unfinished patio *sigh*

Since Spring, Trevor has been wanting to enclose our back patio. Our friends have theirs enclosed and after spending a few evenings enjoying the air without bugs, Trevor anxiously went about making plans for ours. However, I think this is the first project he hasn’t hit running until it was finished. It was somewhat of [...]
Almost…

We are so close to finalizing a headstone for Morgen’s grave. Here’s the last rendition from the makers:
We asked for a few small changes, and this line art doesn’t easily show the blasting style or shape carving we’ve chosen, but we’re so excited and anxious to have it completed. I wanted to show you how [...]
Daddy/Daughter camping

This past Friday night our ward organized a daddy/daughter campout. Trevor spoke with Eliot earlier in the week and they made plans to go. By the time Friday came around Eliot had made her own song about it and had a dance to go along, although the only words were “daddy daughter campout” and the [...]
Just like Mom, and pumping

When Morgen was born I anticipated I’d have a daughter that wanted to help more than I wanted her to, so I tried to plan ahead. I made a small blanket and burp cloths for a baby doll and offered them to Eliot. I thought it would be a good way for her to have [...]
The Year of the Pumpkins

We let our garden be taken over by pumpkins and all the jungle that comes with it. It was fun seeing blossoms turn into little pumpkins, which turned into bigger and bigger pumpkins and then turned from green to orange. We considered it a bounteous harvest. We got to take these…
…add some elbow grease and rubber gloves…
And the results [...]
Already a Winner

Tonight Montana had a fortune cookie tell her “You have a the makings of a winner”. Of course, I already thought that, but this week especially I’ve been thinking of my sweet, darling daughter and how much joy she brings to my life. Asher being Asher gets a lot of attention and we talk a [...]
