Here are two cute things, and one not-so-cute thing, Caleb has done in the last 2 days: 1.  Derek and I went on a date (a real-official-date!) on Saturday night.  On the way to drop the kids off at some friends' house, Caleb said "Are you going on your BEEHIVE?' "Our beehive?  What do you…

Today while blog reading, I noticed that someone mentioned ‘Charlie’ perfume.  And, boy, did it take me back.  Good ol’ drugstore Charlie.  The scent I wore in high school.  It was that and my other favorite, ‘Colors’ by United Colors of Benetton.  But that was just a treat that I got as a gift…and so it…

If you've been to my house recently, you have probably seen the 3 pictures on my living room end table.  They are the one-year pictures of all 3 of the boys.  A close-up picture taken at Kiddie Kandids (of all places).  I took Jacob's one-year pictures there and have continued the tradition, because I LOVE…

Tonight we were having leftovers of a spinach lasagna, a quite yummy one I might add, that I made on Tuesday.  So, for the kids, it meant a second night of pure torture. 🙂 I remarked to Derek that it's too bad the kids don't know Popeye, which was always the way my mom encouraged…

Getting on the treadmill to work off last night's meal… Then headed to SLC for Derek's sister's wedding. More on Monday.

WOW!  It was spectacular.  The theme was the last dinner on the Titanic.  The menu was taken from the actual menu served to the 1st class passengers on the Titanic that fatal night.  So fun (for us, not them sadly)!  Thanks, Christi and Phoebe, for a fun evening and delicious cuisine. Take a look at…

Jacob had his spring recital on Saturday.  My mom joined us.  He did very well in his Guild performance, in front of the judge…scoring 26 C's (commendation) and only 2 A's (acceptable).  You want more C's in that test!  I did not worry much about his recital.  He was playing his favorite 2 pieces from…

In our church, everything is done by a "lay" ministry.  No one gets paid…we all just perform duties when called upon.  The leaders (who are also called by other leaders) pray to know who to ask, and seek inspiration when it's time to let someone have a break and "call" someone new.  Since January of…

Caleb's preschool had a big event for all of their graduates last week…a ceremony, a slideshow, and a barbecue lunch.  He has loved this little Methodist preschool.  He's made some great friends, and he's really grown this year.  I'm so pleased with our decision to hold him back a year from Kindergarten.  He has matured…

My great-grandfather was William Andrew Robinson.  His first wife was Effie Hancock, who died in December of 1903.  They had 4 girls…Neva Irene, Lila Jo (her grandson was at our recent family reunion), Ina, and Mary Lucille.  Mary Lucille Robinson was their youngest and she died when she was only 17.  At the time they…
