The Rest of the StoryThe other night Wyatt and I were talking about what the craziest things we’d ever done were (consolations to long boring days of work and cleaning and cooking): There were the generic answers. You know,...

The Rest of the StoryLast night we went to a new Thai restaurant. And we giggled as we sat at our table and remembered the time . . . We were in Phuket, and we rented a little 90cc...
The Rest of the StorySo there I was, minding my own business . . . Literally. I was in my apartment at BYU, doing homework in my living room. I heard the voices of a couple guys and girl...
The Rest of the StoryRemember in Enchanted when Amy Adams ran through the park with Patrick Dempsy, singing about the things a guy will do just so you know he loves you? I LOVE that scene. And how do...
The Rest of the StoryTRAVELOGUE – very boring, unless you’re me and want to remember these details forever. AND EVER. Sometime back in February I think, I made a vague mention that maybe we would go to Disneyland ....
The Rest of the StoryLook closely at this pile of laundry. Happiness is a baby boy who sucks on his fingers. Happiness is stopping by the store to find Christmas gifts on a great sale! Happiness is having Carrie...
The Rest of the StoryWyatt was bemoaning the decor associated with various holidays, case in point: Halloween. "I hate the stuff everywhere. Ick, I'm just so glad we don't have all that stuff. Now it must be said: Wyatt hates "Stuff." It also must be said: I am not the least opposed to stuff, I just walk down the decor aisle and feel totally overwhelmed and unable to coordinate and create decor of fabulousNESS. Thus, I push the cart faster, and invariable go home empty handed.
The Rest of the StoryBack in the Spring Wyatt decided he would take a little trip with his old college buddy, Jimmy, to the country where they both served their missions: Argentina. But complications arose, and Argentina was out....
The Rest of the StoryTonight we celebrated the completion of YEAR 9. We first went to dinner at Little America. As we sat “looking over our menu” we reminisced about anniversaries past. “Can you even remember any of them?”...
The Rest of the StoryDearEST, Today Olivia learned about dinosaurs at pre-school. She came home with a pill that “grew” into a dinosaur in water. She brought one home for Calvin too. That’s just like her to think of...
The Rest of the StoryThursday night was spent pacing the floors with little Ejo, who was regurgitating regularly. There was no fever, nor any other symptom of blech, but the vomit was convincing. Friday morning came bright and early....
The Rest of the StoryThursday night Carrie and I sat up talking, when suddenly we heard Everett crying from his room. Not just crying – screaming in a panicked sort of way. We jumped up to go to him....
The Rest of the StoryIt was the day! First, four wheeling up at Beaver Springs. Then, dinner at the diner. Then, drumroll please . . . Everett’s first Rodeo! It was a lovely evening. *Sigh.* Leslee & Jason, Jared,...
The Rest of the StoryWe went on an evening hike with our friends, the Fletchers & Sparks. I’ve never heard of this waterfall before, but it was a mo’ easy hike: short not steep short Awesome Afterwards: Snow Cones...
The Rest of the StoryThe funniest story from my quick jaunt to Nauvoo came a few days after I returned. I was talking to Alexa, and received the report: Alexa asked: Is your daddy taking care of you while...
The Rest of the StoryI’ll admit, in terms of birthdays spectacular, this was not. But it was a nice evening in any event.
The Rest of the StoryWyatt’s grandma turned 100 last week. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s impressive. Along with a big birthday party last Saturday, my sister-in-law, Katie, set up for Grandma to attend a Jazz...
The Rest of the StoryOlivia wanted a pet. She’s wanted a pet for months and months now. At first it was deep sighs and desperate pleadings for a kitty {and why not? Lyssy and ‘Azanah have at least seventeen!)...
The Rest of the StoryCalvin sent daddy a postcard today. Daddy sent one back. And he sent one to Olivia for good measure. No one sent me a post card. PS – Notice that Calvin used proper punctuation.
The Rest of the StoryThis is the little book I made for Wyatt for Valentines Day. Love the boy.
