This sweetie little boy is now a three year old. Holy smokes. It was a simple and sweet little party in the backyard with a couble decker cookie cake and a tableful of presents. I am one lucky lucky mom, and I realize it everyday. My sister and her clever husband are in town so [...]

Happy Birthday my sweet three year old! It has been one super quick year. You are a delight and an adventure. There seems to be no limit to the things that you know how to say and do. You’ll repeat any word or phrase that we ask you too (this morning it was, “rolling with [...]

hello friends. I hope your 2012 has been lovely so far. As much as I love the holidays I also love this time of year. This buckle-down-and-get-it-done & clean-it-out-and-oganize-it time of year is invigorating. We’ve been doing a little of all of that. The kiddos are back at daycare and Garth is back at work [...]

Christmas is magic. We had such a sweet little understated Christmas. Strawberry shortcake & orange juice punch for breakfast. Cars, choo choo trains, accordians, pettiskirts, and ponies for the kiddos to open. Lots of candy & snacks. And an afternoon, dressed in red & green, trying to keep the little ones quiet for an hour [...]

The kiddos are in bed after a long day of movie watching, ornament & cookie making, trampoline jumping, and late night light tour bike riding. The Mr. and I are soaking in the Christmas eve magic in the living room, waiting for Santa. Christmas Eve is the best. From our rainy little hideaway to you- [...]

Just got back yesterday from a week in the desert with Garth’s parents & family. It was a little chilly at times and we loved it. We left 2 cans of spam and like 15 strange sodas when we left (including egg nog fizz and lilikoi). Yes, we will leave spam at your house if [...]

Oh it has been a marvelous holiday, my friends. Garth had 4 days off in a row and I tried my hardest not to wander into my studio (the living room) and work. Mostly we stayed in our pajamas ( we each got two sets this year!), watched movies, and drank hot chocolate. And egg [...]

It has happened again. That million-things-to-do rush that leads up to Christmas has come to an end only because the days hours until Christmas are so short. Those items on my list that I just didn’t get around to (gosh, I say that so casually as if I haven’t been up until 2 am every [...]

It’s looking to be a sweet one for us. We will be at the Port City Market tomorrow enjoying the mid-70′s weather and Sunday will be filled with Easter Egg hunts, pastel madras pants, delicious breakfast food, and LDS general conference streaming right to our front porch. I hope all ya’ll are just as excited [...]
