We're packing up our furniture and on the brink of moving out. That's when I spotted this lovely space, empty and clean, calling my name. And I couldn't resist a few shots. ...
...nope, it's just a cool fun program found by my friend Sarah called POLADROID. Check it out! As I pop in some favorite photos, I'm reminded of all these wonderful people (and pictures!) I love: this sweet little family makes me so happy a few of our favorite Aussies (including Coda in the belly) Sydney's boyfriend, Ryden, and his lovely mama my little...
I was doing the laundry the other day and checked behind the laundry basket for any stray clothes. I screamed when I saw this:there aren't too many things that freak me out in life, but rodents definitely DO!luckily, once the light was on, I realized I wasn't in any danger of being eaten by a huge rat after all. (but seriously, what are...
Sydney got her first Valentine card from her Grandma, which she enjoyed very much by chewing and slobbering all morning ...

We haven't got around to getting a high chair yet. Or a table for that matter. So this is what meal times look like at our house: ...and if you have a horrified look on your face like Tommy did when he saw our feeding routine, be assured that I don't leave my child unattended! ...
Haley wanted in on the action ...
This might be boring for a lot of you, but some people requested a few photos of the house, so here ya go! Keep in mind that I had to take these with my little point and shoot without a wide-angle lens, it was night time and dark, and over half the lights in the house are out. entryway entryway view from top...
After over 4 months of searching for a home, we finally found the perfect one. It's in American Fork, just down the street from the Timpanogos temple, and backed onto a big park with lots of trees. The house has an open floor plan with lots of natural light, yet with a cozy feel. We move in in a couple weeks! ...
Here's a question for you moms out there: how do you know when to stop feeding your child? Now that Sydney's started adding solid foods to her diet, this has been a question on my mind at every meal. I continue to spoon her out goopy veggies, and she continues to open wide at the sight of the spoon. I thought once she's...
Sydney and I have a routine that we do every morning and after every nap: Sydney wakes up with little noises We dance around the room singing silly, made-up songs Sydney helps open the blinds and spends a long time looking outside, banging on the window, and slobbering on the glass Sydney plays hide and seek with the curtains, and I pretend that...
+ Last night Tommy and I were cuddling and laughing in bed, one of our favorite things. Our heads were nestled close and we were saying silly things that only people say when they're up way past their bedtime. me: "I wish one of my eyeballs were a camera so I could take a picture of this moment." Tommy, in a matter-of-fact tone:...
I felt a bit silly reading to Sydney when she was only a few weeks old, as she'd stare at the wall like a little blob. But 6 months later, she has definitely become a fan. She loves turning the pages when I'm halfway through a page, and grabbing it from me to suck on the corners. ...
I made Sydney her first cooked meal today -sweet potatoes. It just seems like such a grown-up, "mom" thing. Maybe it's because I'm not known for cooking a lot, so today was a big day for us! Also, Sydney had her first true temper tantrum today. While I was drying her off after a bath, she apparently really wanted to drink from the almond oil...
