A new day

It's official. We resisted long enough...and drumroll please... have officially joined blogland. My biggest reason for such enduring resistance is that I feel that my life is uneventful much of the time. What do we have to report? But after much support and encouragement from friends and family, we bit the bullet and a new day has been born. Ben is excited to post about his soulmate and greatest love (no, not me)...music, and I figure it's a great way to keep a sort of journal with pictures. So here you have it.

We are all trying to recover at our house from our fabulous vaction last week in Cancun, Mexico. My dear parents, bless their hearts, brought us all with them on their 30th wedding anniversary celebration trip, kids included. It was absolutely great. The kids were in heaven and we had a fabulouse time, though I am just now recovering from my exhaustion. I need a vacation after my vacation. My Grandma mentioned that you don't have vacations until your young children are grown, you have trips instead. I believe her.

The weather was warm and delightful. Contrast that to the current frigid Bountiful temps and our first snow. Last week, I was slathering the kids with sunscreen, and this week, I'm bundling them into snowpants and mittens. I've provided a couple of pictures to illustrate the point.








Does anyone know where one might find a never-ending bag of smarties? This is what Anna has decided she wants for Christmas. I encouraged her in the direction of barbies as she adores her friends' barbies and I have already purchased some, but she is determined she's asking Santa for "a bag of smarties that you can eat all night long and it's still full in the morning." I told her she could probably get some treats for Christmas, but aren't there any toys she would like as well? Her response? "No, just food stuff." Like mother like daughter, I guess.

I found you guys. You need to connect with our blog. I love it. But Ben does need to talk about his family just a little bit. Maybe talk about his kids. He did mention Jamie though, which was good I thought. He also needs to post some of his videos. I still haven't seen the latest rap video. I love you guys. We had so much fun at the cabin. I'm so glad we went and so sorry that your kids will probably be getting the worst cough ever.
