Trick or Treating is the easy part!

Friday, October 31st, 2008 | By Amy

Here are some photos of the kids in their costumes for the first time.  I made trick or treat bags for the kids since we had mostly store bought costumes.  Hunter was the exception to store bought because he saw this idea online and was determined to build it from scratch. He and I put [...]


What Others Are Saying

Thursday, October 30th, 2008 | By Amy

I was reading through some comments on the Above the Law blog.  I will not link directly to it because many of the comments are mean and filled with foul language.  Maybe I shouldn’t have been reading there at all, but there were several comments made on a post called Countdown to California’s Prop 8 [...]

Equality

Friday, October 24th, 2008 | By Amy

“Equality!” That’s what I have heard people yell out their windows when I have been standing on street corners waving Yes on 8 signs. I have done this twice already and plan to do it again tomorrow. The first time I was in a group of about 80 supporters, and the second time there were [...]

An Afternoon at Crystal Cove Beach

Sunday, October 19th, 2008 | By Rob

While we had family in town for Emma’s baptism, we spent an afternoon down at Crystal Cove Beach with my parents, Mark, Melanie and Wellington. Crystal Cove is a State beach so it wasn’t surrounded by houses or other developments. It was beautiful and not crowded at all. It was so great to spend time [...]


Lights on Broadway

Sunday, October 19th, 2008 | By Rob

Hunter and Emma just finished their two-week run performing in Lights on Broadway 2008, a production organized by some very talented women in our Stake. It was a great show and Hunter and Emma just loved being a part of it. Everything was so well organized, it was a whole show of Broadway numbers and [...]


Emma’s Baptism

Sunday, October 19th, 2008 | By Amy

Emma was baptized last Saturday morning. We were lucky to have all of her grandparents, Uncle Mark, Auntie Mel, and Welly there with us.  Emma has been preparing for this important day for a long time, and had an interview with the Bishop ahead of time to make sure she understood the basics. Emma decided [...]


Baptism ‘84

Sunday, October 5th, 2008 | By Amy

In May 1984 I was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In this picture are my Dad, Erica, Me and Chris (Matt was born several months later) standing in our backyard. The dress I’m wearing was made by my talented mother.  I found it a few weeks ago [...]


Dinner Swaps

Friday, October 3rd, 2008 | By Amy

My friend Tonya asked me last week if I would be interested in a dinner swap.  The gist of it is that four families would make a main dish for each others families once a week. The other three nights we would get dinner delivered to our house. Of course I didn’t hesitate to say, [...]
