Can you guess what we did tonight? Graham cracker houses! It's a Lance family tradition...and Rory and I hosted for the first time! All of us hard at work on our structures...I cheat and use a box. Engineer, I am not. How we fit everyone and all that candy in our kitchen/family room is quite the feat! Oh, and Joanna, your smile is … [Read more...]

We went up to the Oakland temple tonight to see the Christmas lights they put up each year. We got there around 6 or so, but ended up waiting to see them come on at eight. Sheesh! We were a bit bored and cold, but it's always fun to see the lights! My bundled up cutie! Apparently Rory is not cold. The fam, minus Steph taking the picture. I'm not … [Read more...]

Our Thanksgiving was pretty low key this year...and pretty silly. It all started out innocently enough... Watching Aunt NaNa make an apple pie...then a fight broke out over the crust. Then the lovebirds started frolicking... It even spread to us! Luckily my chocolate pie escaped the silliness. It all ended with Janae spraying a whipped … [Read more...]

I'm 24 now!! I don't feel any different! haha. This is what I woke up to this morning, isn't Rory sweet? He even scrambled some eggs, which, for those of you who don't know him, he hates! lol. That's love! He still owes me flowers though. My wonderful mother in law watched the baby while we (Mom, Grandma, Janae, Joanna, and Cassy) went to Todai's … [Read more...]

We gave up on scrapbooking being our "title", but we are thinking of expanding into other crafts...preferably something we can do while watching the wee ones.

Today we went to the park again for a picnic and to enjoy the beautiful weather … [Read more...]

Today was one of those days. You know, when you don't change out of your PJ's? (I did take a shower though) It was laundry day. Janae came over after lunch and hung out with Sadie and I. We made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and I tried to explain the characters and plot lines of Grey's Anatomy to her. (didn't work) She had a blast playing with … [Read more...]

Last night was Julia's birthday get together, so I wanted to help with her cake and have my Mom teach me some cake tips. It was super fun, and we all ate a lot of frosting along the way.
