Jenny turns eight and is baptized
This year on Jenny’s eighth birthday we didn’t have a huge party—at least not the kind with decorations and a big crowd. We were moving on and around Jenny’s birthday so that day for her and us was a working day. We tried to make it special how we could. I made brownies for the…

Home summer school
I had the best idea for this summer with the kids. We were going to do our own mini version of summer school. We decided to pick a theme for each week and then do a fun project, a food, some real life application etc. along with learning more about that topic via the library,…

Great Grandma Loveland
These pictures are a few months old. They are so cute so I have to share. This is Tom’s grandmother. Oh, how we love this Grandma! Since these pictures were taken, we have had a couple more visits with Grandma and they have been the most memorable visits! Many more to come.

Houston Get-away

Daring boy who thinks risky things are funny and fun! There is a little more behind this movie, maybe a little glimpse into our home life (doing of dishes etc. and a mug shot of a certain girl I know). Enjoy!

King Arthur’s Quest
I don’t you about y’all out there, but one of my fondest memories from grade school was participating in the musical plays each year. So when I heard that Matthew and Jenny had the same opportunity, I encouraged them to try out. At first they seemed hesitant, even a little shy about it. Once I…

What’s new
Just wanted to share a few things that are on my mind before I forget them. Tonight Lucy said to Tom, “Daddy, do you know about people that make trees, like Heavenly Father and Harold?” I don’t know if you are aware of the children’s book Harold and the Purple Crayon. If you aren’t familiar…

Out with it
I’ve been thinking a lot about what I do and don’t post on here. Mostly it is just pictures of the kids and the stories surrounding them. I am going to to try to write more of my thoughts and feelings. Sharing my feelings has never been easy for me. Plus, I feel like I…
