Tonight for family night we made monkey bread. I just recently discovered this great desert! And I love it for many reasons. It is not expensive to make and tastes wonderful. Everyone can help make it and I don't go crazy. It takes thirty minutes to cook and smells divine! Great motivation! "You need to …

My wall is finally finished. This project has taken way longer than it should have. I bought new matching frames to put current pictures of the kids in. At first I didn't have a picture of Ari. Tori's for a while was just ultrasound pictures. Now each frame has an up to date picture in …

More?! Yes I know you are getting tired of pictures of my little chub! But I can't help it. I feel like she is growing so fast I have to take pictures of everything. I thought the last babies were supposed to have fewer pictures than the first ones? Not in my house! So here …

My refrigerator is way too small to accommodate all the great pictures, drawings and treasures that come home from school. Especially this year with two girls in preschool. I use the back doors and wall as my fridge. All the kids love to hang stuff up there now. Ariana even likes to hang her drawing …

Today was such a good day. I was able to accomplish so many things. Some Saturdays I feel like I work in circles and get nothing done. Today was not like that. Yippee! I set up Tori's crib in Ammon's room. She has been in a bassinet in my room. She is too big for the …

We all went down to the open house of the Draper Temple. Before a temple is dedicated anyone can go through. I thought it would be a wonderful experience to take the kids through to see the inside of the temple. Nik, Zoe, and Ammon already went through two other temples, but this was Ari, …
