Recently Nikaela and her family came to visit. We had SO much fun with them! We did lots of fun activities and still managed to say, “Oh, we never…” after they left. It’s just so hard sometimes to live this far away from them. They got here on a Sunday and the fun started immediately. [...]

Got word today from Shannon at Juniper Park that they will be using my photo in a Lay’s ad in the 5/17 issue of People magazine, on sale 5/7. I’m so excited! What a fun thing to have happen. So even if you don’t buy People magazine, take a few seconds to peek inside at [...]

On Easter Sunday Garret, Amalie and I decided to do it up with the full ham dinner. We bought the smallest ham we could find (and still have TONS in the freezer), made cheesy potatoes, Grandma Eddie’s rolls, and a wonderful spinach salad. The dinner was delicious and the day was peaceful and reflective. We [...]

One of my favorite quotes is: “There are years that ask questions; and years that answer them,” by Zora Neale Hurston. It goes right along with my belief that life is full of seasons, whether they last months, years, days or hours. Right now is the season for me to support those around me. When [...]

This has been a busy, busy week at our house. February 10th through the 16th is always busy at our house. We have several celebrations beginning with Garret’s birthday on the 10th and ending with our anniversary on the 16th. Somewhere in there is Valentine’s Day, right? And the week often includes President’s Day which [...]

I’m amazed to think that we have been in Utah for one whole year now. I’m reminded of that old adage, “The days go by like weeks and the weeks go by like days.” I have yet to update you on the holidays in my life, but I can’t help but feel as though this [...]

Today is my youngest’s 20th birthday. Amalie is 20. No more teenagers. Weird. I don’t feel like the Mom of two adult children. Not that I mind. Aging has not yet bothered me. I figure as long as I keep telling myself I’m not old, I won’t ever get there. And every birthday I have [...]

This past week our AZ daughter, Nikaela, and her sweet family came for a visit. We had so much fun! One whole week of great adult conversation. One whole week of snuggling Grandbabies. One whole week of big breakfasts, visiting fun sights, watching movies and eating popcorn. What a wonderful Christmas Gift! We were sad [...]

Things have been a bit hectic at our house the last few weeks, but I am managing to keep up with most of my projects. Many of them are Christmas presents, so I’m hesitant to post them on my blog just yet. But I’m also working on little hat and scarf sets for my Grandchildren [...]

Growing up I had my very special Grandma Eddie. Actually, she was Grandma Nellie until my sister’s first child could not say “Nellie” and it came out in a very cute “Eddie” (love you, Jeni-Pen). Grandma was thrilled – she did not like the name “Nellie” and threatened me when I suggested using Nellie as [...]
