oops


Imagine these all over the floor and in between your new couch's seat cushions! Apparently Corban needed a treat really bad. He grabbed his Cheerio container from his diaper bag and carried them to me upside down. He made it all the way to the couch, where I was sitting, before the lid popped off and spilled its contents.

On the flipside, I got to watch my son skate on Cheerio dust.

newish couches

We bought one couch from Ashley furniture. We waited two weeks for that thing and they sent us the wrong one! They told us we'd have to wait another two weeks for a new one, which we didn't want to do. We're trying to get our money back, but in the mean time, we bought these beauties! One small problem. The sofa is coming apart where the arm rest meets the bottom portion of the couch. You can see it in the picture.

So, to recap. We're trying to get our money back from Ashley's and we're trying to see what Palmer's can do about the crack.

free at last

We found out tonight that Vickie is cancer free! We bought some sparkling cider and some party poppers and headed over to their house to celebrate.
Some of us needed a little extra!

goodbye old couch

At last we are getting rid of this old couch. We bought a new one last week and it will be here by next week. I can't wait! We've had some good memories and good times on this old couch, but it's time to move on.

elephants on parade

We went to the USU homecoming parade this year. Corban loved the loud trucks, bands, police cars, and all the people. I was sitting on the road with him standing near me. I would wave his arms and then he would take over. We got a lot of candy thrown our way. Corban didn't quite understand that concept. He would pick up a piece of candy and throw it back to the ground.

jam on


My neighbor and I both serve in the Primary. We were walking home from an activity when she offered some raspberries to make freezer jam! She brought over the three cases of raspberries and a box of pectin! She even brought over her jam recipe. She and her husband have a really nice garden and orchard in their back yard. It's such a blessing to have such nice neighbors.

I finished the jam tonight and it looks loads better than my last attempt of peach jam. I hope this batch tastes a little better too.

look who's walking

Corban started walking a few days before his birthday. He's still more comfortable crawling, but he's getting better every day.
