November 1 … that T.J. and I were married in the temple. November 2 … that Josh and Lacey moved back! November 3 … for the mountains and the beautiful weather. November 4 … for cute babies, especially mine, who make me smile when times are hard. November 5 … for The Office and laughing […]
We got home last night from a very emotional, but beautiful weekend in Southern Utah for the funeral of T.J.’s grandpa Lyman. I’m catching up on work, unpacking, cleaning, and listening to Fox News today. I told T.J. no plans are to be made this week so that we can take a breather and catch […]
Thursday morning, we received the news that T.J.’s Grandpa Lyman had passed away. About a month ago, he was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer. He tried to fight it, but the type of cancer was too aggressive. It’s been a long time since someone close to me has passed away. I was a Freshman […]
After organizing our church’s Halloween party, Relief Society October craft activity, going to the pumpkin walk, cleaning up a lot of pumpkin guts all month long, I was pretty tired by last weekend and told T.J. I was sick of Halloween and wished we could skip over our party. Just a word to the wise, […]
On Halloween, some friends and family came over to Trick or Treat around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, the majority of the people who live in the condos around us are old and retired so not many people came to the door. But we still had a lot of fun. I teared up a bit at the […]
A couple weeks ago, T.J. and I saw a sign on the side of the road at a garden center advertising a pumpkin carving contest. We jokingly said that he should enter the contest, but then just kept talking about it because the first place winner won $250, 2nd place $175 and 3rd place $100. […]
This year, T.J. and I were in charge of our Halloween party at church. It was the first time I’ve been over an event so large, and so let’s just say it had quite a rocky and slow start. But in the end, a handful of people showed up, there was enough food, and I […]
Eva has been putting up a fight whenever we try to give her baby food. I’ve had more success with the pouches of baby food but she wouldn’t even take that. Then, we just gave her the pouch and she sucked every last drop out of it. Suddenly, she liked eating again. We will give […]
I came across this recipe for supposedly the best pumpkin cookies ever that my friend posted on her blog. So, I had to give them a try because I don’t like the pumpkin spice cookies/bread from the mix. Homemade pumpkin baked goods are always better. I did half of the batch with chocolate chips and […]
Last weekend, we went to Southern Utah to visit T.J.’s family. His uncle has this little pygmy goat. Adorable! Living it up at T.J.’s aunt’s new house with a theater room Beautiful sunset on our way down to Southern Utah I printed these out and hung them up in our living room. Cutie Pie Face […]
