Alex hangs an Ale8 can on the tree – Just for Fielding! Our almost fully decoreated Christmas tree. But thanks to Emily we [...]

We celebrated Emily’s 13th birthday this weekend! She turned 13 on the 8th and we’ve been partying ever since! Alex surprised her by decorating the house – complete with cool decorations, banners, streamers, & of course confetti. (Which is still all over the floor at this point!)

Finally! It took me awhile to get around to this – but, at last it worked! The video below was sent to us by the Mission President at the MTC while Alex was there. It’s a hymn medley (very beautiful, by the way!) and he is singing at a missionary farewell. We’ve always told Alex [...]

Guess who just turned 12!  Yep – Miss Emily had a birthday this week. It was a little weird to have a birthday without the family around and we sure missed having a porch party at Grannys but it didn’t turn out so bad. She even only had to go to school for 1/2 a [...]

My Last Bag of Grippo’s

Posted in Cooking & Recipies, Family Misc., Shopping on May 31, 2008 | 8 Comments »

I am addicted to Grippo bar-b-q potato chips! They are the best ever – just the right blend of hot and a mild sweetness. I can eat whole bags of these things in one sitting. When I was a teenager and driving myself to high school, I’d stop every morning at Babe’s and get a [...]

Search for the world’s best fitting jeans!

Posted in Current Events, Shopping on September 6, 2007 | 26 Comments »

It’s been years since I’ve really dived into “jeans fashion” - how they fit, how easy you can move in them, how they wash and wear,  and what is considered “stylish”.
