For the Love of Four Square

I’ve been meaning to give another update on homeschooling, now that we have gone for a whole month. But first, here is a fun photo game for you.
What is this?

What do you think this is?

Here’s another view.

C’mon, you got to know it by now. Here’s more of a clue.

Yep. Now you’re getting it. That’s the [...]

Pottery Paint Chocolate

My friend Laurie set up a Girls’ Night Out at The Mudpie Company and brought her amazing brownies. She could have set us up in the middle of a parking lot somewhere and the brownies would have made it a special night. I love that she also brought grapes. She’s crazy healthy, does yoga, and [...]

Super Bowl Sunday

I barely remember who played yesterday. The only reason why I remember that it was Super Bowl XLIII is because President Obama gave an interview and they referred to him as the 44th President of the United States. We’ve had one more president than we’ve had Super Bowls. Interesting tidbit of information that lodged itself [...]

I Am a Child of Royal Birth

This is one of my favorite poems written by Anna Johnson. The opening stanza is just so empowering to me… I’m sharing it in response to the quote Kelly posted on her blog (also empowering) and for Wendi just because.
I am a child of royal birth
My father is king of heaven and earth
My spirit was [...]

Light by Josh

Free Hugs

If you have been to josh’s blog lately you will have noticed his infatuation with the Sick Puppies (it’s not just all about Emma Anzai and how she rocks the bass and goes off on stage and how she really is a very accomplished bass player). He drove to Austin with his buddy to see [...]

For New Year’s Eve we had planned to go over to our friends’ house to light fireworks. They live on the cul de sac to covet where all the neighbors hang out and BBQ and do block parties and all the kids play together. They love their neighbors over there, and we were happy to [...]

Current mood: drained

OK, after getting a good vibe from y’all after posting my artsy fartsy apple, I sat down to paint while watching American Idol with Josh (see his blog Idol Gives Back…). I had bought another apple that day, but made the mistake of putting it out on the table. It was [...]

Rockets and Jazz

Rockets and Jazz
Current mood: chipper

This is Sethy’s latest — a rocket picture. This boy gets his inspiration from I don’t know where. He’ll just go off and draw on his own and then get magnets and put it on the fridge. He did show it to me first by saying, “3, 2, 1, blast [...]

Artsy Fartsy

Artsy Fartsy
Current mood: nostalgic

Here is a watercolor I started at a Relief Society Enrichment Night. If you don’t know what RS is, it’s one of the oldest and largest women organizations in the world… see www.lds.org for more detailed information. The women of the LDS church get together to talk, learn new things, and [...]
