Look what I found!

So, I cleaned out my craft and office supply cupboard and junk drawer (you know, where you stick all the stuff you don't feel like finding a place for right then), and I discovered that I don't need to buy any more pens for a while. Or scissors, or pencils or crayons or erasers or colored pencils or.........

Three day weekend fun

Last weekend we had one extra day off, thanks to parent/teacher conferences, so we headed to the Salt Lake Library (always a favorite) and one last trip to the aquarium before our membership expired. Good times. I think it is worth mentioning that during conferences I learned that Rylynn (who is in 2nd grade)is reading at a 5th grade level and has already passed off her math requirements for the year and it's only midway through the first term! Yay for Rylynn!

More fun pictures

I was doing some of what Ewan call "putting the cheese on the computer" (what we all call transferring our photos from our camera to our PC-but I like his version better) and I found some more fun pictures. Yeah for pictures! Since I am computer retarded and can't figure out layout-this is Ewan trying to take his shirt off, Kaydin helping Joseph build our new deck, Trevin with a Snozzcumber(it is really a banana squash, but please, read the BFG and you will understand), Maryn and Rylynn, who just want to get in on the action whenever pictures are being taken!

New resolution

Now that I am no longer a "working mom" (we'll see how long that lasts), I would really like to update this blog at least once a week. Is this because we are an exciting, fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants kind of family? No way, Jose! It's because my kids love to see our updated blog and I love to see our updated blog and keep track of all the mundane, day-to-day minutae that makes up our family life. Example: we are building a new deck in the back. Example: my sister-in-law (and one of my closest friends in the world) is engaged and I am having a blast helping her with wedding plans. You know, the good stuff. So, in the spirit of staying on top of things, here are some pics I love (oldies but goodies)!
