*Song: Mindy Gledhill - Hourglass
3 down, eternity to go. *This is 3 days late, I know. Blogger wouldnt let me publish until now.
Warning: this may be the cutest thing youve ever seen.
Weve been busy! Lots to catch up on but I really dont know if I have the determination to write lengthy posts about all the fun weve been having these past few weeks. So here are some pictures and a ...
As of the last couple of weeks, Oaklen has been repeating just about everything we say. At times it may not sound anything similar to the actual word but we know hes trying his best to communicate wi...
I thought once summer rolled around I would have post after post to keep this blog busy. Fortunately Im spending less time at the computer and more time doing fun things outside of the ho...
to sum up our 4th of July weekend: lots of food, family, fireworks and fun.
I had to label this Bear Lake trip number 1 because there will probably be 76 more visits before the summer ends. I would live at the cabin all summer if I could. But there is no internet. Me + no in...
Dear Binky, We told you upon arrival that you needed to be out of the house when Oaklen turned 1. But those days came and went. You were good to us, Bink. Dont think otherwise. You saved mom and dad ...
As much as I love relaxing by the pool and being a lazy little fart for the last week and a half, I have to say its good to be home. I have projects that have been screaming my name for weeks and a h...
Oaklen has two favorite things. Animals and water. You can always see a smile on that boys face if you give him one or the other. When I went in the backyard to water our (wild) garden and trees, he ...
A while ago we were in the market for a nice new camera. We looked around for a little bit, then decided it wasnt the right time to invest in something like that. So we put it off. Of ...
If there is one thing I could push Oaklen into it would be music. I was never a big singer or instrument player when I was young, but I wish so badly I was. I think music does so much for kids. I lov...
Im pretty surprised I kept up with this monthly picture collage. It was so fun to look forward to every month. The changes he would make in just a short month period always shocked me. Its fun t...
I caved! Well see how long I last. I seriously need a crash course for this... Im now on Twitter.
Heres a fun, easy and super quick (and maybe the best part, cheap) project for all those superheros out there. I hated throwing away all those lotion and shampoo bottles we were using because they se...
(a beautiful summer evening from our front yard last year) Ever since I heard Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, it instantly became my go-to song. I would put it on...
Ive been eyeing a pair of cut-off shorts for the Oakster for a while now. Of course there was no way I was going to pay 20-30 dollars on shorts for my rapidly growing 1 year old. I figured I cou...
1. SLC, UT temple2. Oak posing in front of the temple in the blinding sun3. Giraffes! Hogle Zoo (pretty sure we spent a good 20 minutes at that stop)4. Trying to give loves to the tigers at the Hogle...
Were pretty happy about this spring weather weve had. Sure it rains and floods a few days. But when the sun shines, it shines. It makes for a much happier, energetic day when were outside soaking up ...
Now that Oak can walk like a champ, it makes everything so much easier. Going on walks with him is a new adventure. He has already gotten to the stage where he sometimes refuses to hold my ...
I took a little time off from blogging. Well, I took time off from my computer in general. It was nice to clear my head, spend time with my little guy and just relax. Now I feel like its ti...
The weather has been clear enough for Straton to mow our lawn for the first time this year.Whenever Oaklen hears that lawn mower outside, he immediately needs to be outside watching. Usually I hold h...
We hope youre all still in your pajamas and eating endless amounts of chocolatey goodness like us. On another noteOaklen has had an obsession with YouTube videos lately, so Im constantly search...
Oh hey. Another blog makeover. Another change. This time lets see if I can stick with this look for longer than a month, yeah?! Ive neglected my responsibilities enough this past week trying to get t...
And heres what he learned 2 minutes later.
I dont have enough time to tell you all my feelings about this change I recently made. Its heartbreaking yet exciting at the same time. Mostly heartbreaking. It was my choice. I wasnt forced. Yet I s...
Im the kind of person who hates change. Whether big or small, I dont like switching things up. Heres what doesnt make sense to me, though. I cant stand things being the same for long period...
Disneyland was def. not the happiest place on earth for Oak. We think it was a mixture between being completely over stimulated and (still) not walking by himself that made him a complete crankster t...
This little family is about to take a vacation. Can you guess where well be? Here are the clues: 1. Its where a grown up can feel like a kid again. 2. We will probably run into a princess or two.&nbs...
