Monday, November 23, 2009 Bethie's last day of school this week and they got to have a little Thanksgiving dinner. She had way fun and I thought she looked so adorable in the little pilgrim bonnets/hats that they made! Tuesday, November 24, 2009 All packed up to head home to Orderville for Thanksgiving. JJ had his last day of school for the week and when Joey got home from work we drove down. Wednesday, November 25, 2009 My mom and I spent today doing all the food preparations for tomorrow's feast. It was nice to do it today so we could have tomorrow to just be together as a family. My main focus was to make our family's traditional egg noodles (from my Grandma Sorensen's recipe). Everytime I make these I think of my Grandma and how much I miss her. I hope she is happy where she is ... [Read More]

Project 365 | Week 45
Monday, November 2, 2009 I love it when my kids are silly and happy at the same time! Today I was working on my computer in the bedroom and I could hear laughter coming from the living room. A second later the kids came bursting in - they had found 2 pairs of Joey's racquetball glasses and they thought it was hilarious to put them on. I quickly grabbed the camera and took a photo - my kids are too cute! Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist.

My kids love hearing stories and watching movies and just using their imagination. I love hearing them imagine and play together and I ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 28
Monday, July 6, 2009 Everyday when we take JJ to summer school we pass these fields that are filled with these thistles. I am amazed at how big they grow and even though they are actually weeds and are just nuisances, they have a bit of beauty to them too. I had to stop and get some photos of them today! Tuesday, July 7, 2009 Growing up, my grandma's egg noodles was a special treat that we only got at Thanksgiving and possibly Christmas. My family always liked the egg noodles over mashed potatoes. Now, whenever I make her egg noodles I think of her and miss her. My Grandma lived right next door to me growing up and I saw her almost every day of my life up until she died when I was a junior in high school. I was in the mood for the egg noodles today so I whipped some up to go ... [Read More]
