This I love

So my mom tagged me the other day, which means that I get to write a list of 3 things I love besides my husband, children, or soda to commemorate this time of love. Since I don’t care that much for soda (though I could really go for an orange one right now, oddly [...]

Some thoughts on names…

So everyone keeps asking what we’re going to name our baby girl. A valid question, seeing as she’ll be here in less than 2 months. Unfortunately, the answer is that we honestly don’t know. However, last night we were able to sit down and come up with a few names we like… [...]

This makes me crazy.

So the other day Cory and I noticed a new billboard up right at the point of the mountain advertising a film. What caught my attention was that the billboard was pretty much just black, with the catch phrase, “The first R rated mormon film ever,” and then the name of the film, “Falling” [...]

I mean, Audrey and Claire aren’t technically related to each other, but they’re both related to Breanne, and yet they don’t look anything like her, or at least not to me. Other than that they all have the squashy-new-baby face, but that’s to be expected.
Breanne, [...]

Largeness

A Bad Mom

So generally speaking, I feel like I’m doing ok in the Mom department. Breanne is pretty much a genius, and I really enjoy just hanging out with her and playing most days. We do let her watch too much tv, which is bad, but overall, I feel like as parents, Cory and I [...]

Looking back (and forward)

I stole this from my friend Valerie’s note on Facebook–thought it was kind of a fun survey, but didn’t realize it was so long when I was reading it on her page. So feel free to read it or disregard it as you please. Mostly it just made me think back over al [...]
