I loved reading all the “least favorite parenting jobs!” I could relate to them all! But now I thought it might be fun to tell our favorite part of being a parent. Mine would have to be in those silly moments when you don’t have to be a “mom” but can just have fun with…
The joys of having a sister obsessed with Band aids.
Thanks to the ever awesome website airfarewatchdog.com we scored some way cheap tickets to Utah. We got to meet baby Jack and celebrate Alan’s 60th birthday. Funny story–Josh has a bear that he takes EVERYWHERE! We went to the hospital to eat lunch at the Pink Shop with my Dad, and of course Mr. Bear…
This was the conversation we had on the drive home from church today: Halle: Mom, I’m excited to go to Utah. Me: Me too.Halle: Do you think Grandma has any bandaids at her house?Me: I’m sure she does.Halle: What kind do you think she has? Princess, Dora, Barbie….Me: Probably just the plain old brown kindHalle:…
For me, it’s a toss up between bedtime, and bathtime, although if I had to pick one, I’d go with the bath. For some reason I just HATE giving the kids bath–I always end up frustrated, and they usually end up crying. Luckily Dad usually takes care of both bath and bedtime at our house….

We spent our first Christmas at home this year. It was so nice not to have to pack up all the presents, and the kids loved having the day just to relax and play with their toys. Santa brought Halle an Easy Bake Oven, and Josh a Geo Tracks Airplane. On Christmas Eve we had…
We made the annual trek down to Denver on Saturday to see the Parade of Lights. We were going to meet Brian and Sara and fam for dinner, but of course we got stuck in nasty traffic. Seriously, whenever RUSTY goes to Denver it is a nightmare. Any time I’ve ever gone by myself or…
It was just us for Thanksgiving again this year. I actually really like cooking Thanksgiving dinner, and get a little carried away. Although there were only 4 of us, I made 3 pies, a 14lb turkey, and mashed potatoes to feed an army, among other things. I worked for two days getting everything ready. Thanksgiving…
