Aria the Builder

Aria the Builder

The other day I brought some cabinets home from IKEA.  Well, you know how that goes.  They needed to be assembled, and my husband wasn’t home to do it. So I looked around the house to see who could build these things for me.  I asked my 16 year old son if he would build them for me. He […]

she makes me laugh

she makes me laugh

This morning Aria came into the bathroom as I was cleaning the globs of leftover toothpaste from the sinks.ARIA: What you doing? ME: I’m cleaning the bathroom. ARIA: Why? ME: Because it’s dirty. ARIA: Why? ME: Because kids don’t clean up after themselves, no matter how many times you tell them to. (yes…I was complaining to a two-year-old)  Aria watched, in silence.  ME: […]

a new driver? maybe.

January 19, 2011

a new driver? maybe.

She’s taking her learner’s permit test today.  She says it will be a piece of cake (the test) although I have never seen her study for it.  She’s confident, this one, in all that she does. She always has been, and I like that about her.  She has always acted older than her age, too; […]

Homecoming Dance 2010

September 27, 2010

Homecoming Dance 2010

When I was in high school, I can’t remember Homecoming being THAT big of a deal.  Maybe it was and I just wasn’t all that involved and so I missed all the excitement?  I don’t know.  All I know is that for Afton, going to these events is a huge deal to her and her friends.  They […]

The Red Shoes

September 27, 2010

The Red Shoes

The other day, this is what I saw walking past me as I was cleaning up the breakfast dishes.  Believe me, I was as shocked as you are right now.  I mean, you just don’t see this sort of thing everyday! Do these shoes make my butt look big? Apparently, Ari got into my closet, […]

Face Lift

September 16, 2010

Face Lift

Yesterday Aislynn came home from school in such a mood! She was very cranky.  She asked me very seriously if she could use her middle name as her first name.  She wanted to be known as “Sarah” in school instead of “Aislynn”.  I asked her why, and that started the tears flowing.  She managed to choke out […]

Booked

I did it.  I booked myself a weekend in October for a stay at my favorite scrapbook retreat.  I’m so excited! The last time I went there was two years ago, a couple months before Aria’s birth.  So it’s been a while.  It will be so nice to see Christine again.  She is the one […]

Just One More….

Her birthday party was yesterday, but today is her REAL birthday….so I saved a piece of cake for her to enjoy today!  Just one more.   And I saved one present for her to open today, too!  Just one more.  Because, you know, you only turn two once.  Well, in her case, twice!  I hope she […]

Happy Birthday Two-Year-Old!!!

Happy Birthday Two-Year-Old!!!

People call it the “Terrible Two’s”  but I disagree.  I think this age is wonderful.  Lots of presents today…. But her favorite? Definitely the Playhouse! It was so much fun giving this Playhouse to Aria!  She was SO excited! There is a playhouse at our church that she plays in all the time. I knew […]

Another Birthday!

July 20, 2010

Another Birthday!

Afton turned 15 yesterday.  Audriana made her cake.  I think my cake-making days must be over because now my older kids keep wanting to make each other’s birthday cakes! For her birthday, Rich and I are sending her to a week-long Christian camp at Lake Hume.  She’s very excited to be going.  A few of […]

Forever Friends

July 19, 2010

Forever Friends

I’m so happy for Aislynn.  She has made a friend who lives just a few houses down from ours.  They are starting to play together almost everyday.  They are getting pretty tight…and this photo proves that.  Just look at that tight hold they have on each other, LOL.   She has a friend on our street!  Yay!  This […]

Sugar & Spice?

July 9, 2009

Sugar & Spice?

What are little girls made of? I know the song, but it doesn’t work here in our family. Sugar & Spice do not really describe my girls all that much. They are a bit rough and tumble and dig for worms and hunt lizards and search for sand crabs at the beach… Aislynn found a […]
