It Went Too Fast!

Saturday, August 30th, 2008 | By Amy

The big reunion week we have been looking forward to all summer, came and went in an instant. My family all came to stay with us and we played and played and played. I made a sort of itinerary so that the “I don’t know, what do you want to do?” conversations would be kept [...]


So Fashion

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008 | By Amy

When Emma was little she came to me once all dressed up and cute and said, “Mommy, I’m so fashion!”  I loved the phrase and still use it with the kids.  Sabrina has taken to changing her outfits multiple times a day, mostly revolving around (of all things) her favorite pajamas. She has a “snail [...]


Scary

Sunday, August 17th, 2008 | By Amy

It was 12:40 am, Sunday morning.  I fell asleep watching the Olympics and had just been woken by my husband’s voice saying, “Amy, it’s time for bed.”  He was closing windows and locking doors as I headed up the stairs to do my nighttime ritual.  I saw that the lights were all turned off in [...]

The Greatest Show on Earth

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 | By Rob

Here’s another bit of fun with the new video camera. Last Friday, we all went to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the Honda Center in Anaheim. We’d never been to the circus in an arena before. It was an interesting experience, especially seeing the trapeze artists swinging up in the [...]


Hannah and the Marshmallows

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 | By Rob

On Saturday, our ward had its annual Corn Roast at Corona Del Mar Beach. We all had a blast socializing and playing in the sand and the waves. It was also a chance to try out the new video camera that Amy got me for my birthday (or more accurately, let me pick out). It’s [...]
