So, Rory has this tie. He calls it his "Easter" tie. It is hideous. Every year I try and convince him of the ridicule and mocking he will endure, but it doesn't work. He still wears it. I have threatened this tie, but now he knows my motives and would definitely notice if it were, say, cut in half or burnt. I tried shoving it under some pillows on … [Read more...]
Dennis the Menace Park…and some tidepooling!
March 2, 2008 By 4 Comments
Yesterday my family, including my mom, dad, Rory and I, Jarom, Joanna, Jordan, Janae, Julia, Josh, and my two grandparents, got in the RV to drive down to Monterey and enjoy the nice weather. BAH! It was freezing cold and VERY windy, but we still had fun! We went to Dennis the Menace park, which we used to go to all the time when we were kids. It … [Read more...]
My brother’s back!
February 7, 2008 By 2 Comments
Jarom's back from his mission to England! Yay! He flew in late last night, (like, late. 10 at night!) We were waiting for all the people to come down the corridor, and he was almost last! It took forever for him to show up. People were saying, oh he's right behind us...but he wasn't! Oh well. So here we are standing with some balloons and a huge … [Read more...]
I HEART good food!
January 28, 2008 By 5 Comments
Just went down to Gilroy to have lunch with my awesome grandmother at a little hole in the wall called OD's kitchen. A little mom and pop breakfast and lunch place that has the BEST food. I had a delicious BLT sandwich and yummy salad with some ranch dressing that, after I was done with my dressing, I dipped my fork into it and had a little bit all … [Read more...]
We’re still alive.
January 21, 2008 By 3 Comments
Hello.Yes, we are still alive. Barely. I just looked at the calendar and said "Holy crud January is almost over! I'd better put something on the blog." We have just been really distracted and busy. Mostly with an offer we put in on a house that we are waiting to hear back about. We already got a yes from the seller, but we are waiting to hear back … [Read more...]

Happy New Year everyone! I hope it was safe and fun for ya! We had some fondue and game fun with our pals Chris and Cassy Watson, our fourth year in a row doing New Years Eve together. It's a tradition now! (if you guys break from that...there will be pain!) haha. I will post some extra pics of that later. Also, I got back from my trip to Arizona … [Read more...]
Scrapbooking Day with the Girls
November 18, 2007 By 2 Comments
Yesterday was a blast! My sisters and mom came up to Morgan Hill for a full day of scrapbooking and girlish fun. We got a lot of pages done, and introduced Janae and Julia to some hard core scrapping. Rory was MIA-not from fear of all the estrogen at home, but at a Cub Scout campout/hike. He was probably pretty relieved he was gone most of the … [Read more...]
Another post about pumpkins
October 31, 2007 By 2 Comments
Pumpkin carving time! ohh yeah. We gathered at my parents house for our semi-annual pumpkin carving day (the other is in April...but the pumpkins are kinda hard to find) haha. We covered the table with plastic and carved away! Guts, seeds, and slimy stuff were flying everywhere! Gotta love it. We all chose our designs; an American flag for Jordan … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Patch!
October 28, 2007 By 2 Comments
I haven't been to the pumpkin patch since I was probably about 11-ish. So I really wanted to go this year and we did! We went with my family and Chris, Cassy, and Rayne came too. Cassy and I were really more preoccupied with taking lots of pictures as we are both avid scrapbookers. It was VERY warm for the end of October, even in California! There … [Read more...]
Farewell Justin!
October 18, 2007 By 1 Comment
Well, the time came for Justin to leave for two years on his mission to Ireland. I have one brother already on a mission in England, but didn't get to see him off. It was fun to be able to go to Justin's farewell and open house and spend some quality time before he left. We all got weepy at the airport...of course. I'll miss you buddy! … [Read more...]
