Nothing says "I love you" like homemade


Happy Mother's Day to me!  Once again the fam did me right.  I woke up to the pitter-patter of little feet scurrying around the kitchen trying to make me breakfast.  Years ago this would had been breakfast in bed but now-a-days I get to join the rest of the family at the table.  When the kids were first old enough to help make me breakfast, Scott and the kids would bring me my tray of food then he would quickly rush the kids out of my room and close the door behind him...leaving me completely isolated and so alone!  I felt like I had been punished and had been sent to time out!  I finally got the heart to tell him that it wasn't much fun to sit and eat alone in my room while I could hear them out in the kitchen visiting and having fun.  So, I enjoyed pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, fruit and orange juice surrounded by my family this Mother's Day.  



Karsyn, Cassidy, Kennedy, Will, Me and Layton




Now I do recognize those kids!


Scott got me some great Mother's Day gifts but my favorites are always those homemade gifts from the little ones.  Layton made me this Star Wars hot pad and wrote me an awesome poem!  It does rhyme, I'll have to give him that much and really, what mom doesn't have to pay when it comes to cleaning up after their kids spent all morning cooking?


Will came up with a very creative gift idea all by himself.  With nothing more than some paper, a marker and some scotch tape, he whipped me out one cool "Bobble Head" of himself!  And once again, he insisted on holding some object in the photo that had no purpose.  

Thanks to my sweet husband and loving kids for a great day!  Truth be told, they make many many days of the year seem like Mother's Day.  I love you all!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
