Blake has spent his free time building “machines” since he was little. Building creations out of cardboard has been his latest passion. He rigged up a pinball machine. I don’t think he’ll ever grow out of building with k’nex. He also built a 3D temple after going for the first…
We kicked off January with sickness, no surprise. Nash felt better just in time to go to a Medieval Times tournament with friends. We put in several Disney days. Splash Mountain turned out to not be the best idea in January. Disney is always more fun when friends join us….
On Christmas Eve Eve, we made our way downtown to check out the lights on Temple Square. We successfully kept track of seven children. The flashing bulb necklaces helped. Uncle Todd was the crowd favorite, as always. Finn kept us entertained with his many expressions. We didn’t last too long…
We’re only 18 days into 2015 but it already feels so ancient to write about the end of 2014. It was so nice to spend the week between Christmas and New Year’s at the cabin. If we would have been at home, I would have found a thousand things to…
The week of Christmas began with a trip downtown. We ventured to the Grand America Hotel to check out the displays. We met up with the boys’ only cousins that we haven’t seen in over a year. Their Grandma gave them all matching shirts to be worn for the occasion….

July was our month for living up summer with no vacations on the agenda. We definitely did not lack in the number of outings we fit in. Even though it got a little too busy for my liking sometimes, I’m glad that at the end of the summer, we’ll be…
We made it through Christmas! Hallelujah. There were a few moments this month when I really didn’t know how I was going to pull it off. Especially when two days before Christmas I still didn’t have a single present wrapped and I was running around dropping off neighbor gifts with…
Before we head off to Michigan, I want to at least document the last month in phone photos since I’m not sure when I’ll get to sorting through all of my “real” photos. We took a much needed break from the 106° heat to go to a restaurant overlooking Temple…
This is what the front of our refrigerator has looked like this summer: We’ve had quite a few weddings to attend in addition to my brother’s wedding in San Diego. On Troy’s dad’s side of the family, he has 78 first cousins. Weddings are a frequent occurrence. But on his mom’s side, he…
