despite not having much that is interesting to say, or any opinions that really matter lately, that I will blog every day this week.

Shelley told me about THIS website a few weeks ago, and I loved all of the ideas, so I copied them!  Those are the only kinds of crafts I do…the kind that have already been done! 🙂 For Jacob's Friends:   When I asked Jacob if these would be ok he took a good, long…

Two weeks ago when we had an ice storm approaching I glanced out the window and noticed my year-old baby of a peach tree was already blossoming.  I wanted to scold her for her carelessness!  Her naivety!  Her seemingly gross indifference to the threat of Texas weather!  What was she thinking?  She's like a teenager…

How great is a man who sends you flowers when you DON'T expect it?  A non-holiday…just because he's going to miss you while he's away!  So thoughtful…    

Derek, Jacob and Caleb had a fun-filled guys only weekend in Utah, and from what I can tell had a great time.  Here's the run-down of events: FRIDAY: lunch at Training Table, a stop by the Univ of Utah gift shop, a stop by Temple Square, home to see Grandma and Grandpa, dinner and b'day…

On Friday I got a call from Frances' son telling me that she had passed away the night before.  I was not surprised, of course.  She had already surpassed doctor's expectations and held on longer than expected.  But my heart sank.  And my eyes filled with tears.  She was family to me.  She had been…

Ahhh…it's that time of year again.  Expectations were high…so was his confidence.  Reality was tough, and it briefly brought him to tears.  But good boy that he is, he toughed it out and cheered for his friends, and even won 1st place in ONE of his heats (his car ran in 12 heats).  And I try…

Despite LOVING those little blonde curls around Samuel's head, I knew it was time to give him a big-boy haircut.  Those curls only looked good after a bath…but as soon as they were slept on or rubbed with yogurt, it was all over, and they looked like a rat's nest!  :)  Jacob and Caleb both…

Tuesday night was a frustrating one.  I was grumpy with Jacob for procrastinating a Quest project.  And grumpy with Caleb because he wouldn't touch his very delicious dinner (a hearty soup).  And I was grumpy with Samuel for just doing what 2-year-olds do…going weak at the knees when I tried to pick him up, screaming…
