We went to the ophthalmologist today to check and make sure Maggie’s glasses were the right prescription, that we got good glasses, and that they were doing their job. All of the above were good to go. Yay! I was pleased and relieved to find out we won’t have to do patching or surgery to [...]

I’ve got a garden this year. Actually, I share a garden with my father-in-law, but that seems to be a better way than doing it myself anyway since the garden gets water more often. Gardens are a lot more fun now than when I was little and tired of hoeing weeds out of Grandpa Bushman’s [...]

I don’t actually know if “playgroup” is supposed to be one word or two. So, I’ll just switch off as the mood strikes me. It’ll keep things exciting. Anyone know the official word on the correct way to write it? Yesterday afternoonwe went to a play group organized by some ladies in my new ward. [...]

Image via Wikipedia Degen and his Grandpa have made a regular thing of having golf lessons outside in the yard. Naturally, Maggie wants to do whatever Degen does and begged me one day to go outside with them and play golf (pronounced more like “gofe”). I thought it might be fun for her, so I [...]

Colin did our FHE lesson tonight–he put up a slide show of pictures of our family on the TV for us to watch. Maggie excitedly screamed out the names of everyone she recognized in the pictures, including herself. There were some pictures of the Savior mixed in, and every time Maggie sees a picture of [...]

I may have already mentioned that I got a new calling at church last week. I get to be a Nursery Teacher! In my last calling I’d occassionally get to substitute in the Nursery and would always say how much I liked it and would love to serve there officially. I guess God was listening, [...]

Grandpa, an expert golfer, gave Degen his first golf lesson this morning outside at his miniature driving range. Every time one of the balls would make it to the net (even after many swings on its way there), Degen would yell “I WIN!” We are really enjoying spending more time with Grandpa!

When I’m not pregnant I very rarely take naps. Why? 1) Because I don’t really get that tired during the day. 2) Because even if I am that tired it’s hard to figure out how to get the kids to both go to sleep at the same time or be in an otherwise safe state [...]

We made it to California! Yay! We actually got here a couple of weeks ago, but I haven’t had constant access to a computer like I’m used to until today. The truck arrived yesterday, and was unloaded by Colin and some generous men from our new Elder’s Quorum and my sister-in-law’s very helpful boyfriend. Thanks [...]

Like many mothers, I allow my children to run around the house in nothing but a diaper some of the time. After this week’s events, this practice must end, at least temporarily. I’ve mentioned before that Maggie had taken to removing her wet diapers whenever she’s in her crib. Well, her practice of taking off [...]
