being quiet

I haven't really posted much of late, just little tidbits here and there. I am trying to be more present in real life than in a computer life but I don't know how well it is working. I stay up to date on reading my favorite blogs, I just haven't commented to much at all on anyone's and I haven't written or really updated our blog. I have even really considered quitting the whole blog thing. I am not sure why I do blog most of the time. Why am I sharing parts of our family life with the whole wide world? I am not a writer or photographer. Just me. Maybe it's because I enjoy the other blogs I read of friends and family that I want to be nice and reciprocate and give them a glimpse of our life too? I don't know but for now I will keep at it for a bit longer.

 Snow. We haven't lacked for it this year. Lilly was really happy because we had a white Christmas and that was one of her wishes. I don't love the snow but I would rather have more snow than the consecutive days of single digit cold weather we have had. Burr.
 The girls had crazy hair day at school a while back, so they actually let me do their hair. I think we got the crazy part right.

 For some reason I thought that since Daryl was a little older we would stop finding him in the bathroom, but I was wrong. Between his short lived potty training and just general fascination with water and wanting to be independent and get a drink by himself from the sink, I still have to be on the watch.
 Ready for Christmas. The kids and Glen did a good job of decorating and even indulged my meanness and waited till after my birthday. They are so nice.
 Daryl loves his dad. I tell Glen he puts up with me and all the females during the day but he really LOVES and needs Dad and usually picks him or a Grandpa over anyone.
 What can I say. Daryl is so cute right now. We end up taking a lot of pictures of him. As my aunt put it he has personality plus. He is also such a boy, which I always thought was a silly description of a little boy till I had one. There really aren't adequate words to describe him any other way.

This is Puggsly and I guess he was in trouble. The kids have to put their nose in the corner when they are in trouble sometimes. This is what Daryl did with the toy one day while playing with it.

The stuffed animal in the corner is hilarious. Loved it. And Daryl is so adorable! (Faith told me we needed the explanation point after adorable...she was right.) The crazy hair is so much fun. We thought Lilly and Lucy looked like Who's down in Whoville.

I loved meeting Daryl. He is so cute. I love your girls too. I have decided to do the opposite of you. I have always read the blogs, but never post on them and only post on mine once a year. I have decided to do better and post more often. I love reading your blog, so I hope you don't quit.

Such a wise decision to continue blogging. Love your PRECIOUS children! Love hearing about your wholesome activities! (Well, the toilet fixation may not be wholesome, but it sure is entertaining.) And I love hearing your news. Puggsly in trouble...really cute! Almost as cute as Daryl's dimples and crazy hair on your beautiful daughters.

California here we come

By
July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

By
Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
