While our kids wanted to go back to Kangaroo Zoo, we really thought we’d try something else being it was our last day there. We ended up at Trafalga in Lehi. Now I’ll admit to being really tempted to leave when we first arrived….they were in the middle of construction and it was loud and not visually appealing. And with the weather not as warm as they like some of the rides weren’t running. But we decided to make do…
I’ve been wanting to blog about this trip for so long….I realize now that I should have been blogging the entire time and saving as drafts so I could just add photos when I got home. Lesson learned! But here we go. A recap – in November my cousin and I, and our 3 kids took 3 fabulous weeks to enjoy California! And enjoy it we did! It was fantastic….we did a TON of driving but also got to see…
Disconnecting from the world and connecting with family. That is just what I had the huge privilege of doing this past weekend. My parents and I along with my uncle, 6 aunts (and one of their husbands), and a few cousins all made the trek to Swift Current, Saskatchewan for the funeral of my uncle Bob. Some of us stayed with my great uncle and his wife and others stayed with bob’s ex, Bonnie, who we love and who was…
Once and for all!!! It was nearing the end right before Christmas, but multiple late nights…not long enough sleeps, and lots of pop and other crap…landed me right back at the beginning – and worse! Thankfully – and finally – today I felt MUCH better. A combination of the following has helped me kick this nasty cold for good: Vicks on my chest, neck, back, nose, and feet (with socks) Hydrogen Peroxide in my ears every hour or so Hot…
I’m sure you all remember them – bubblegum pink foam curlers that we sported overnight for some lovely locks in the morning. It’s a pretty fond memory for me though I’m not entirely sure why…but I was SO excited when my daughter wanted to get some at Walmart one day. *hip hip hooray* They were only $10 and a fun way to bring some of my childhood into her life. And they aren’t just pink either, but yellow, green, and…
Oh yes!!! I am SO excited and have been keeping this secret from my darling daughter for weeks now! WEEKS!!!! My mom is taking us on a fantastic girls night to see the Wizard of Oz on stage! I CAN’T WAIT!!! In the past few months my kids have started loving the movie, which just warms my heart…and to be able to take Brooklyn to see it on stage (SHE LOOOOOVES THE THEATER) is just going to be magical. Especially…
through his stomach! Or at least that’s one of the way’s to my man’s! Planning a holiday with the kids for 3 weeks, and knowing that Brent would be tired after work and more than likely not motivated to make dinner, and of course wanting to give him a taste of my home cooking even while gone….I pulled the *best wife of the year* card and made him meals ahead of time (ie the day before. lol) so that he…
It’s true….this year I celebrated the start to a whole new decade. I was completely freaked out – not so much because of the whole turning 30 thing (though it does sound weird to say)….but because ALL OF A SUDDEN I am 30. The past 10 years have gone by SO quickly that I’m worried in the blink of an eye I’ll be 40…Life is going so quickly and I want to make sure I REALLY enjoy it….remember it….and love…
For the past while I have been *dreaming* plans up of taking the family somewhere to watch a surf competition. Brent and I have discovered a real love for the beach (I always knew I had it…but May’s trip to Mission Beach put it in full force) and think it would be so fun to watch a surfing competition….Brent would love to take lessons and get good – I’m a disappointing wife and am much too chicken (there are sharks…
And all I want is this… Subway’s veggie sub, with no tomatoes or black olives and definitely less onions than pictured. But definitely banana peppers (not jalapeno), lots of lettuce and cucumbers….and sub sauce. (I also like just pepper and a little mayo…and yes I’m putting it all on here just in case one of my faithful readers happens to be *in the neighbourhood* and wants to bring me one lol). Last night on the way home from my parents…
