The Pendletons: March 2015
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Rome - Day Tripping. Sure enough, he walked us to a corner of the station, took our tickets and validated them at a machine, pointed at a train, then asked for money. That's where we're getting off, too! Eventually, it grew tiresome to work so hard and was easier just to bear the pain until out of the tunnel. I guess the other passengers had already figured that out a long time ago. We spent a few minutes wandering through a garden park, then set off to explore the town. I do...

The Pendletons: August 2015
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 23, 2015. With the big kids in school, Sawyer and I took a date to extend our summer a few more days and pick some perfect summer peaches. We drove 45 minutes out of town through gorgeous country roads to end up at a picture perfect orchard. We met some friends there, and in less than a half hour we each had two boxes full of the most amazing peaches I have had. maybe ever! We sampled a few while picking, which is why I decided to pick two boxes instead of just one. First Day of Preschool.

The Pendletons: November 2014
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 21, 2014. Soccer season is over. It was one of the least painful sports seasons I've experienced as a parent, but I was still plenty happy to see it end. Logan's coach was terrific. Their team was the "Wizards," so on the last game of the season he dressed up in Medieval attire. Savannah had great coaches, too. (Nice work, Dad and Bryson! Playing soccer this year. And THAT makes it a winning season. Thursday, November 20, 2014. Logan was Ash, the Pokemon trainer. This was the one cos...

The Pendletons: Play Dates
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015/08/play-dates.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Summer is winding down, and we have hardly had any friends over at all! Now that we are home until school starts, it's been play date overload over here. The happy giggles from the girls and cheering from the boys had made me wish I were a "fun mom" more often. Oh, and one other thing. Board games that kids can play by themselves?

The Pendletons: July 2015
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Roadtrip to Utah - Imagine Learning Party. After the party that night, I ditched Jeff and the kids (on our anniversary! To crash my old book group from Orem. I have been waiting for three years to have our trips home coincide with one of their meetings, and this time the stars finally aligned! Utah, you have been and always are good to us. Thank you for the great week. Take care of our family and friends. See you again soon. Roadtrip to Utah - Alpine Slides and Olympic Park. We saw...

The Pendletons: Roadtrip to Utah - Alpine Slides and Olympic Park
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015/07/roadtrip-to-utah-alpine-slides-and.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Roadtrip to Utah - Alpine Slides and Olympic Park. Oops, lesson learned. The alpine slides didn't take very long, and since we had made the long drive up to Park City, we decided to go check out the Olympic Park. The last time I was there (5 years ago), there had been skiers training on the ramps. I hoped we might see that again, but had no idea what the training and practice schedule was. The odds were in our favor (or maybe there are just always. Favorite shot of the day:.

The Pendletons: Feeling Corny
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015/08/feeling-corny.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. It was a long, messy day getting it all done, but I love seeing an entire shelf in my freezer stocked with corn. This time of year is when I reap and store the products of summer crops. I've got salsa done, peaches up next and freezer jam and pesto not far behind. I love filling my empty jars with labors of love and deliciousness! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How I Met Your Father. How Your Mother Really Met Me. First Day of Preschool.

The Pendletons: Reflections
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015/08/reflections.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Will you help me? And each night I tell them the same thing: "You haven't even tried. Go try. First Do your best, and then I'll help." It frustrates me to no end when they come to me for help without having picked up a single toy! But when I see that they have tried, that the bed has been wonkily made and the dolls are stacked precariously in their cradle and the play food is at least near. I don't think I can do this! But what if we took the filthy-room-itis approach? And is h...

The Pendletons: May 2015
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 25, 2015. In a way, it's a positive sign that I am ready for this- ready to have my children grow up and for me to grow along with them. Just think of the vacation possibilities, the family outings, the game nights, the family cleaning days, the movie parties, and the conversations that could happen when you aren't tied to a nap schedule, toddler capabilities or preschool appropriate topics! It is bittersweet, this passing time thing. Bittersweet, and weird. Family of four, 2008. The day of t...

The Pendletons: Chicken Growth Chart
http://jeffandcarlypendleton.blogspot.com/2015/08/chicken-growth-chart.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. Just for fun, I thought I'd take a little walk down memory lane for each hen individually. It's fun to remember what they started as and see what they've grown into. Cuddling of our human children. Maggie is our Australorp. That white underbelly from her chick days is gone, and now she is a beautiful deep black with the slightest green sheen. It is funny looking back on these "teenage" pictures, because at the time I didn't think the chicks were strange looking. Ha! Ballistic Bull...
