Been Gone

We got back from a long vacation 4 days ago and I still haven't recovered! Where did we go??Here are some pics...take a guess!


"accidentally slipped and fell in...ha ha ha"
However, I absolutely fell in love with this lake and the restaurant that sits just above it. If you are ever in Island Park and need a good recommendation, give me a call.


We told the kids we'd give them 5 cents for every buffalo that they saw. Who knew it was the buffalo rut (is there such a thing?) we ended up shelling out $10.00 to each kid!


Thanks to grandma and grandpa for the incredible trip. It was so peaceful and fun..we can't wait to come back.


Finally, a family picture!



This is a game that I used to play as a kid. Gather the golf balls and throw the down grandma's stairs!

Boating with the cousins :)

The molecule.

Yes, it was a typical, yet wonderful family vacation. 5 days in Yellowstone and then 5 days in Salt Lake. We are so lucky to have access to such beautiful places! We miss our family but are already planning next year's trip!

Hi Bianca!
We went on a vacation to Yellowstone last year and had a great time. I love being able to see old friends blogs to see were they are in life. Glad to see you guys doing so well. Pam

Yellowstone was our vacation last year and we loved it. The kids thought we were going back again this year. I'm glad we didn't offer any money for aminals ~ we'd have gone broke!! We stayed at Mak's Inn (sp?!) and everything was closed every time we went back. :)

Great pics of Yellowstone, didn't catch them when you came. My favorite is the one of the 3 boys in the kayak!

Mother's Day

One of the things I really wanted for Mother's Day this year was a picture of me with my children.OK, I really should have thought of something less stressful: "Come here Tucker" "There's a piece of candy on the chair" "Say, Thomas the train I love you" "Please come back..." "No more pictures for me" Thanks to Dave for his patience, we did get some decent shots. I must write for the record how grateful I am to be a mother. There is nothing on earth I would rather be doing right now. I honestly love them so much. Thank you NB, I just had to steal this from your blog: Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby. That Somebody doesn’t know that once you’re a mother, “Normal,” is history. Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct That Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping. Somebody said you don’t need an education to be a mother. That Somebody never helped a fourth

Child Rearing Race

My visiting brother from Utah and I were left without spouses for 4 days. This wouldn't have been such a big deal, but our kids had already been together 24/7 for 6 days and our boys couldn't think of anything better to do than fight. I don't know about you, but 1 entire day of fighting is enough to drive one mad--now times that by 4. Near the end of the week(and our rope) my brother and I had a heart to heart and posed the question~what in life could be more mentally difficult than this? The only thing I could think of (now remember, we'd just run the Ragnar) was running a marathon. Someone once told me that if you could mentally get through a marathon, you could get through anything. So, I put it to the test...I ran a... OK , not a marathon, but a 1/2. Raising children and running difficult races are so much the same. They both require so much of you emotionally, physically and mentally and yet the end reward is so gratifying. I can't express the joy I felt yester

Welcome To Alpine

Home We packed everything we own into this garage, and then shut the door on it for one week. I wish I had a better shot of all the furniture stacked on top of each other.  What do I love the most about being in Utah? THE SUN. We have been outside non stop. 7 Peaks water park, bike rides, running, hiking, swimming. We can't get enough - it is wonderful! This is the view from the parking lot of our church. It doesn't do this cute little town justice. We are tucked into the far northeast corner of Utah county. Even though I grew up with these mountains, I am still in awe of their beauty.  There are still boxes lingering, but here are a few pics to get you started. Family Room Entry way Eden's room Kitchen Living Room (music area) Who knows what led us to this area, but I am in love. This little town is just about the cutest thing ever. We live about one block from City Hall and every day, during day light hours t
