This morning we woke up to a blowing snow storm. I knew it was pretty deep just by looking out the window but I didn’t realize how deep until I got outside. I estimate that it snowed at least 10 inches. To make things even more interesting, the wind was blowing and had created some… Continue reading A Nice Little Storm

Baptism Day
Today was Caroline’s baptism. While the older girls were excited for their baptism day, Caroline was particularly so. She has spent the last two weeks exhibiting her excitement as only Caroline can (annoying squeaking noises, pestering with questions, clapping hands and wiggly fingers, etc.) She was especially looking forward to getting a new set of… Continue reading Baptism Day
A Busy Christmas Season
UPDATE: January 20, 2008 8:20 PM – I’m working my way through the December posts. The posts are in chronological order so be sure to click the December archives to catch any of them that you missed. We’ve been so busy lately that even though we’ve been doing lots of post-worthy things, we simply haven’t… Continue reading A Busy Christmas Season
Too Stodgy For My Own Good
Emily’s plan for the science fair was to see which kind of apple rotted first. Unfortunately, she procrastinated things and now the science fair is only three weeks away. No way is an apple going to rot in the next three weeks in Utah’s dry cold winter weather. No way do I want semi-rotting apples… Continue reading Too Stodgy For My Own Good
W. Family Party
The W. Family Party is the annual Christmas party with all of my aunts and uncles, cousins, cousins kids, etc. The party has grown so big that it hasn’t been held at anyone’s house for the past few years and likely never will be again. I’m not sure what kind of politics were involved in… Continue reading W. Family Party
A Party is a Party, But a Christmas Party…
I was in charge of the company Christmas party this year. It was actually fun to plan and organize the thing (albeit a lot of work) and I think I do a pretty good job of it. Maybe I share some of my sister’s knack for planning a party. This year I twisted a few… Continue reading A Party is a Party, But a Christmas Party…
Houston, We Have A Young Woman
Emily’s really looked forward to her 12th birthday because she finally would graduate from Primary and join the Young Women’s organization. It’s been quite interesting thinking about her being in Young Women’s. She definitely isn’t a little girl any more. She had her interview with the Bishop and worked on Faith in God tasks right… Continue reading Houston, We Have A Young Woman
Annual Christmas Pilgrimage
Today we took our annual pilgrimage downtown to see the lights at temple square. I can’t remember how many years we’ve been doing this for but it’s probably around 6 or 7 years now. Lori’s family has gamely joined us each year and I know my kids look forward to riding on the train with… Continue reading Annual Christmas Pilgrimage
Christmas Stockings
Nancy put up the Christmas Stockings today. We took Kelly’s great advice and got some of those stick-on hangers. They seem to be holding well. Hopefully they’ll come off without leaving a resideu and as easy as advertised. It’s nice to be able to actually hang our stockings over the fireplace instead of hanging them… Continue reading Christmas Stockings
Seafood Cobb Salad
One of our favorite restaurants is the Market Street Grill (one recently opened up in South Jordan) and one of my favorite menu items there is the seafood cobb salad. When we planned our menu for this week, I decided to have Nancy try and recreate Market Street’s seafood cobb salad. Nancy’s version of the… Continue reading Seafood Cobb Salad
