Making It Up To You

Somebody’s been a lazy blogger. #160 Five New Things (Mostly Silly House Crap) I’ve Done This Week: Real wall repair. Mountain biking. Complicated fancy mail stuff. Relocated an entire living room. Designed a kitchen the way they do on TV. #161 Five Small Town Things To Get Used To After Living In A Big City: Choosing […]

Fast Forward

Time seems to be going by too fast. There’s no way I missed TWO Friday Fives! And my company is already gone? And we drove to Vegas and back already? I don’t even remember packing. Maybe it’s getting old. Growing up must have something to do with it. We’re starting to feel like we’re running […]

Then And Now

Probably the most drastic home renovation to date, and perhaps forever. FIL is incredible, and just wait until I sand and paint (I couldn’t wait to share with you!). Feels like a whole new house. THEN: NOW: THEN: NOW:

Being Have

It’s really hard for me to behave. I can’t remember which munchkin we knew that used to ask “Are you bein’have?” Toting the in laws back to Park City and using them as indentured servants seemed totally appropriate knowing how good FIL is at this stuff. I’ve tried to help. I’ve tried to suggest fun activities. I’ve […]

Family Reunion

This past weekend we ventured out in to nature and camped with the K family. It’s hard to describe just how hilarious it was. It started trying to explain what was going on on the 7 year old hand in this photo…

Girls Night Out

Was a huge success last weekend! We got free sushi.

Twilight Concert Series

So I missed Modest Mouse last week and was a little sad. There was no way that I was going to miss this Thursday, the second Twilight Summer Concert at Pioneer Park. Many had heard that it was overcrowded and awful last week – but this week it was Girl Talk, for free, so I […]

House Decorating!

MK’s Dad, brother and sister are going to be here soon. So we’ve been touching up a ton of little things on the house all week. It’s been a lot of work. No one likes going through their house pointing out what’s wrong with it, what they missed, what they did that isn’t so hot. Lots […]

Deer Valley Hike

Here’s some pictures from our first uphill hike. Me, with the short legs and fat lady breathing, taking up the rear. The three tall guys made me look bad. Deer Valley is a beautiful place to hike. The dogs loved running through the brush and the views were amazing. I totally burned enough calories for […]

Fast Easy Cooking

There is nothing better than going out to eat. That’s how I grew up. It was a treat, a reward. With my aunt it was recon. As soon as it was my job to cook I got why people like eating food the didn’t waste the whole day on. But that’s a bit of  problem […]
