Presley “coulours”
Each day that Presley comes home from Cuddlebugs, we go through this routine: Presley tells me she wants to "coulour". She says it very clearly.I tell her to get some paper and crayons.She makes her way to the art drawer, pulls it out with all her strength, and gets paper and markers out.I…
Presley and Grant
TThe two cousins, just a few weeks apart, have become such good friends. It is so sweet, and I appreciate so much, how my mom and Aunt Chris make such an effort to get them together. They say it reminds them of Travis and I when we were young. They now know each other's names…
What’s daddy’s name?
This evening, Leif asked Presley if she knew what his name was? She looked at him and hesitated momentarily. Then she said, "Weef".............no, "Honey." We laughed so hard. She is so damn smart! When I am upstairs and call to Leif who is working downstairs, I…
Pumpkin Patch 2015
We decided to go to the smaller pumpkin patch this year considering that Skyler had already been to the big one as a field trip and Liam would much prefer to play with his friends in the neighborhood these days rather than go with his family on an excursion (sniff sniff). Although not as…
Leif’s 40th Birthday Heaven (and the behind the scenes snapshot)
When I asked Leif what he wanted to do for his 40th, he said he wanted to surf. He didn't want to go on a vacation. He wanted to go on an adventure - but with the luxuries of a vacation. We found the perfect spot thanks to Mike who had been there before. And so, with the gracious assistance of Ted…
American Girl
Skyler and I finished reading her American Girl doll book which was a condition of her getting her first doll. I would be lying if I said it was an enjoyable experience from my standpoint - the store is excessive, the sales woman talked baby talk the whole time and the prices were outrageous. But…
Liam’s 8th Birthday
6 boys, 1 cabin, 2 sisters, 3 grandparents and 2 parents made Liam's birthday very special this year despite rainy weather. It didn't stop any of us however and, wild and crazy and chaotic and exhausting as it was...Liam had a great birthday. Best present of the year? Leif got him a quarter…
My super sweet girls
God help me to raise these girls so that there relationship stays the way it is in this exact moment...
I am participating in Idaho Rivers United’s River Run and was wondering if you would support me.
Idaho Rivers United works to protect and restore Idaho’s rivers and native fisheries, a cause very important to me. Idaho’s rivers need ongoing dedicated protections to keep our waters running clean, clear, and full of fish.
To participate in the River Run, I rafted down the Middle Fork River and had a great time. I saw lots of different kinds of fish and even a black bear. They were all in their natural habitat and I want to keep it that way so all wildlife can be happy forever.
Please consider supporting me in my efforts for this worthy cause!
