My Boys

These boys have to stick together (along with Scully, the fish) with all the girls in the house ("even my dogs are girls" says Ben). They are camping together this weekend at our church's Father and Sons Camp Out- a much anticipated annual event near Flagstaff. They won't look (or smell) this good when they come home but they will be happy and overflowing with stories of dangerous feats and wild adventures- what being a boy is all about!

Bathing Beauties & Bubbles!

I just love little girl play dates! Kate and her friends Zoey and Peyton were determined to make a swimming pool! They tried filling the cooler, the baby bathtub and finally the sand trap but nothing seemed to give them the effect they were looking for. Tired, flushed and frustrated, the girls were running out of ideas when suddenly Peyton said, "Hey guys, why don't we just blow some bubbles?" Immediately all thoughts of swimming were abandoned and they were transported to a magical mermaid bubble land!
So next time you're at your wits end, take Peyton's advise- you never know where the bubbles will take you!

A Van Trapp Family Easter

I made Easter clothes for the first time this year and ohhh it was fun! Did I go overboard? Absolutely and loved every second of it!
It was a beautiful 78 degrees and watching our kids hunt for Easter eggs was sweeter than eating an entire chocolate bunny!
Happy Spring Everybody!

Starting something new...

Here I am starting a blog! I have started many journals during my life and have yet to stick to it for any notable amount of time but this... well, we will see. This is my favorite picture taken of my kids and I at Lake Powell last year (one of the few ever with me in it- thanks Heidi). I have thousands of pictures of my loveys that are more recent but this one always makes me smile- hopefully it does the same for you!
