After sleeping in this morning (Wow! What I feeling! I sure needed it!) and a few hours of cleaning up the house, we packed a picnic and headed up to Cunningham Falls. We used to go up there a lot….back when Taco was a baby and before. We haven’t been back in years. I was…

Back to School
School is back in session! When I walked the kids to school this morning, I felt like I had just done the same thing last week. Was the summer really so short? Wow! It flew by. BTW–be sure to see all of my following posts (I did a bunch at once today–trying to catch up!)…
Happy birthday, Daddy! (Home again)
I got back home by shuttle on Sunday afternoon. Peanut Butter and the kids were still at church. This is what I found in the living room when I walked in the house:Isn’t that so cute that the kids decorated so nicely for Daddy’s birthday? The colorful links and the letters were hand-colored with crayon….
Noodle and Reese’s week in VA
Aunt Andrea is the best! Noodle and Reese had a blast at Cousin Nessy’s house while I was in Utah for the last week of summer. Noodle had been dying to try out a special cake recipe before I left, but since we ran out of time, they made them with Andrea. Yum! I’m sorry…
Education Week!
On Sunday the 17th, I boarded a plane by MYSELF and headed to Utah. I left PB with all five kids (my sister Andrea took Noodle and Reese to her house for the week later). I read the entire way there. What a relaxing few hours! My Brother in Law picked me up from the…

The County Agricultural Fair
Oh boy! The County Fair! We love to go every year. Peanut Butter thinks I’m crazy (at least he used to!) to take 5 kids to the fair all day, but we love it. It’s something we look forward to every summer. Today we went with our friends, Safire and kids.Some of the things we…
The best 2 Weeks of my LIFE!
That’s what Noodle said about the last two weeks spent at summer camp. Our friends from church own the most amazing summer camp, and they invited my four older kids to camp for the last session to fill in some empty spots. We were happy to help them out! ;) Before camp started, though, we…

Last night, I got to tag along on a photo shoot with a very cute girl in my ward. I had so much fun taking her pictures. For more photos, see my other blog.By the way, I am still willing to do any kinds of pictures for ANYBODY….and if you’re my friend, I’ll cut you…
