Monday, August 9, 2010 JJ and Beth's favorite way to play is to grab all of their toys and scatter them across the living room and the kitchen. I dream of the day when I can have a whole room just for their toys so that we don't have to spend every waking hour picking up toys. So usually I get upset and the kids grumble about having to pick up. But then their are those special moments when I actually get caught up in watching them use their imaginations and the mess doesn't bother me so much. I hope I can remember these moments more and not lose my temper because I really do love that they are learning, growing, and having fun together. Tuesday, August 10, 2010 We took a trip to Costco and Walmart today to fill our cupboards. The kids were really great and it was ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 31
Monday, July 26, 2010 The kids started their swimming lessons today. JJ has had some swimming experience since they have a special ed program at BYU the last couple of years in school - but Beth has never had lessons. JJ was pretty comfortable in the water but Beth was pretty scared. But it went well and they both had a good time! Tuesday, July 27, 2010 JJ's pack meeting was at the park this month. JJ got some more belt loops and I'm really proud of him. I'm happy that he is enjoying scouts. We stuck around a little while after to play on the playground! Wednesday, July 28, 2010 Beth played at Annie's house today and she had such a good time. She always loves to have someone to play with and being able to go to someone else's house is always a treat! Thursday, July ... [Read More]
Life 365 | Week 15
Monday, April 5, 2010 I was determined to get a lot done this week. It's Spring Break for the kids and so I decided that there was 2 major goals for the week. 1. Spend lots of time with the kids - with at least 1 special activity a day and 2. Get Spring Cleaning done! Today we cleaned the bedrooms - especially rearranging the kids bedroom. We created a "Terabithia" for them underneath JJ's bed. It's a little crawl space that they can go and play under now. For our special activity today, we had a picnic. Unfortunately it was raining really hard outside so we opted to have the picnic inside. Beth and I even dressed up in dresses! Tuesday, April 6, 2010 Today we cleaned the bathroom and hallway and for our special activity, we went to Storytime at the Library. It was so fun and ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 15
Monday, April 6, 2009 Beth is such a character! Her sense of humor mirrors her daddy's and Joey gets such a kick out of that. She says the funniest things all the time and I need to capture more of these little fun moments. Joey has never really eaten breakfast - even as a child. As he's gotten older, it has actually gotten to the point where if he eats too soon after waking up, it makes him nauseous. This morning, Beth was sitting at the kid's table eating a bowl of cereal, while Joey sat nearby working on his laptop. "Daddy," Beth said, "you forgot to eat some breakfast." "I didn't forget, pumpernickel. Daddy just doesn't eat breakfast." "Why not?" she asked. "Well, I've just never been very good at it." "It's EASY, Daddy - you just do like this!" Beth explained, moving the ... [Read More]
