News and Blues: April 2013

http://knewsandblues.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 2, 2013. We had a nice, quiet Easter this year. We tried to be more low key with the focus more on Christ rather than the creepy bunny that sneaks into your house at night and leaves stolen eggs. (That's another discussion). We celebrated a little early since M. had to fly out to Utah for a conference. We dyed some eggs. X looked really creepy in this shot. But he made up for his earlier creepiness with these shots. Isn't he so cute when he's not a total pill? Look at that cute face! It ju...

News and Blues: August 2012

Wednesday, August 8, 2012. Brothers n' otter pops. I think I'm almost caught up. Here are some adorable pictures of my super cute boys. This was after E.'s first day of soccer and it was X.'s first time eating an otter pop. Aren't they just the sweetest? We're having such a fun summer I haven't been doing my blogging duty. Hopefully things will slow down and I will feel the urge to blog again. (And not all in one day). Enjoy! Links to this post. Best Birthday. Eva. We started the day at Stacks. Our f...

Friday, January 11, 2013. See what I mean about indulging M? X rode in that little trooper-car-thing (I have no idea what it's called) the entire time. Those girls were so sweet to keep him. My brother also had this amazing rock wall that he let the boys climb. E. mostly just swung around pretending to be Spiderman. He even tucked his legs up and hung upside down for a second. He is still talking about that. It was oodles of fun. Family makes everything fun right? Links to this post. Our stocking traditi...

Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Aquarium and pickin' berries. M and I have been to some great zoos, aquariums and even sea world and I think this was the most educational and great aquarium we've been to. E. loved it and it was so kid friendly. It was wonderful and we will definitely be going back. Here are some strawberries smiles. (Taken with Celeste's phone - Thank you Cele! No more until we pay for them? That's lame" - This is my favorite shot. The aquarium was great, look at the excitement in E.'s face.

News and Blues: May 2013

http://knewsandblues.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 18, 2013. California is such a lovely and wonderful place to live (it's packed with people and it's crazy expensive, but lovely). One of the perks to living here are the places built just for kids. It took us 2 years to get there but we finally made it to Happy Hollow Park. They have these cool bronze animals and toys out front. My boys were diggin' this car. The carousel, of course, was a hit. E. rode on a "magic triceratops". I don't know but it sure is. Look at those cute little drivers&...

Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Farewell perfect weather and giant artichokes. Almost 2 years ago we had a baby then moved out little family out to California. After almost 2 years there we tearfully tore ourselves away to move back to Utah. We're happy, we're sad, we're excited and we're nervous about the future. But change is going to happen whether we're on board or not. Time goes by so quickly, children grow up so fast and life is flying by. X, four months after we moved to California. Links to this post.

Wednesday, October 16, 2013. This summer was filled with lots of swimming in Lela's very cold and very fun pool. One visit ended in the boys swimming very proudly in their unders. No shame here. Links to this post. Sometimes they love each other. Sometimes these two brothers get along. Most of the time they're fighting but on the rare occasion that it's peaceful around here i sigh a breath of happy motherhood relief. It could be worse and sometimes it's not. Links to this post.

News and Blues: A few to review.

http://knewsandblues.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-few-to-review.html

Thursday, May 2, 2013. A few to review. As previously stated, I'm not so great with the blogging lately. I did make a commitment to blogging more, though, so here are some book reviews (some from the YA across the USA list and some not). Let's start with some random recent reads. I've been a fan of Laini Taylor for years now but this series is just killer good! She wrote the Dreamdark. Which was so haunting I still think of it randomly when I'm day dreaming. Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Little Red Riding ...
