Monday, September 6, 2010 We headed into Ogden and spent the afternoon at the Toad's Fun Zone, playing arcade games, laser tag, and miniature golf! The kids really enjoyed it! Tuesday, September 7, 2010 We headed home this morning. We all felt a little sad leaving our "vacation home" and getting back to reality. We spent the day just hanging out at home, unpacking and getting ready for the week. Wednesday, September 8, 2010 The kids went back to school today. Joey took the kids to Beth's soccer game, while I headed to the Back to School Night. I was shocked at all of the papers that I got! Beth's schooling is so different than JJ's and we will have a lot to do with homework, etc. So I made a calendar and started planning the month with all that is going on and planning ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 36
Monday, August 30, 2010 I participated in a designer contest and was so excited to find out today that I was selected to become one of the new Faith Sisters designers! I really loved how my mini-kit turned out for the designer contest and am so thrilled to be a part of this great site! Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Through freecycle we received a fun mini-trampoline and the kids have really enjoyed it. Beth was so excited to be preparing for her big day tomorrow! We had a meeting with her soccer team today and she got her new uniform! Wednesday, September 1, 2010 A big day for Bethie today. Her first day of school AND her first soccer game! Joey was able to come with us for her first day at school and it was fun to see her so excited! She got to ride ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 13
Monday, March 23, 2009 We spent the day in Universal Studios-Hollywood. As a family, we love movies and so we had to spend some time here. It has changed quite a bit since I went there 10 years ago. More rides and since the fire last summer, the Studio Tour has changed too. I miss the King Kong - but what can you do? The new Mummy Ride was probably my favorite of the rides. Beth was SO scared on the Shrek 4D Ride at Universal Studios. With her 3D Glasses on - the spider looked WAY TOO REAL. She screamed and screamed and screamed and we had to take her glasses off. For the rest of the trip, every ride we went on started with, "Is there any spiders on this ride?" Poor Bethie. JJ was excited to see all the Spiderman stuff and we were able to get photos with Scooby Doo and Shaggy and ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 12
Monday, March 16, 2009 JJ was still a little sick, so he stayed home from school today. The kids were actually really good today and played together all day. I thought this was the cutest candid photo. They were sitting in the rocking chair together - sipping their water and watching movies. Tuesday, March 17, 2009 We went for a walk after dinner tonight and it felt like Spring. I think it is actually coming. I captured this adorable hug between my kiddos and I really love the moments when they are so good to each other. Unfortunately, Joey got our sickness now and he was really miserable today. He stayed in bed all day - I hope he gets better soon. Wednesday, March 18, 2009 Our vacation is almost here! I am rushing around like a crazy woman trying to get laundry ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 4
Monday, January 19, 2009 The kids danced in the kitchen while I made dinner. We really like the fun songs by Laurie Berkner. "We're not perfect, no we're not. We're not perfect, but we've got what we've got. We do our very best. We do our very best. We do our very best each day. Cause we're not perfect and we hope you like us that way." Tuesday, January 20, 2009 Yes, a historic day today. The inauguration of the United States' first African-American President. I can't say that I'm particular fond of Barrack Obama or the things he's planning to do and I wish he was a little more like say, President David Palmer (from 24), but it is a historic day. I'm not into politics and sometimes the future of our country and the people worry me sometimes. But there is one thing I can learn from ... [Read More]
