I Have a Crush on the Pool Boys
I spent the rest of spring break hanging poolside with my pool boys. They earned a well deserved popsicle break. Cheers!

With our big kids in London for spring break, I took the littles to Arizona for some sunshine and relaxation. It just so happened that Troy had a conference in Scottsdale that week so I met up with him for a couple of days while Crew and Finn stayed with…
Troy took the older boys on their first ski trip. Funny enough, when we lived near the mountains in Utah, we hardly ever skiied. Now that we live in California, we take trips to go skiing. Blake and Nash did ski school and loved every minute of it. They advanced…
In an effort to catch up, which seems almost impossible now that the gap between real life and the documentation of life has grown exponentially, I’m going to jump way back to where I left off in April. Yes, April. Before we hit the road to come home after spring…
We’ve been going to the desert for spring break ever since Blake started elementary school. It’s a quick drive to Arizona from California and it feels like an escape even if we don’t stray from our standard activities. Most of each day is spent in the pool. Occasionally we leave…

We headed to the desert for Thanksgiving. The boys had the whole week off from school so it was worth it to travel. Funny enough, we had to go to the desert to pull out the winter apparel. It was a lot chillier than Southern California. Nash’s “relaxing” photos have…
If I’m being real, our spring break this year was largely overshadowed by some fierce germs, sleepless nights, constant bickering and complaints of being bored by 8:30am. Yes, we did manage to fit in a trip to the desert. I’ve lost any expectations of trips feeling like “vacations” with four…
Nash came up to me on a Saturday to show me his first loose tooth. To my surprise, it was really loose! He worked on it all weekend and sure enough, it fell out while he was swimming on Monday. The only problem was, it immediately sunk to the bottom…
My brother compiled some Christmas footage and I’m always so grateful for his captured moments that freeze time in a different way than pictures do. I always want to remember this particular Christmas at my parents’ house in the desert. The year that despite a car accident on the way…
