Sophie's First Day of School

We were all thrilled for Sophie to go to school. She was more than ready and couldn't wait for the big day. Dad and I took her and hung out on the play ground until Miss Judy came out to get them and take them into their classroom. We knew right away that she would be fine. She lined up quietly against the wall with her new pink camo backpack and a huge smile on her face. Last night (Saturday) as I tucked her into bed, she asked me if tomorrow was a school day and when I told her that it wasn't, she was bummed. We are so proud of our big girl!

Red Butte Gardens

Need I say more? If you haven't been, definitely make it a priority. We love this place!

A trip to Snowbird. It's not just for skiing!

We had company all of last week! Granny, Jason (brother) and Sarah (cousin) came to Utah from Texas and California. This is the first trip that Granny has taken since my Grandfather passed away. If it weren't for Sarah escorting her, she would not have been able to make the trip. Thank you Sarah. Anyway, we went up to Snowbird and rode the tram and had some delicious mexican food for dinner (thanks Jono). We had a great time!

Jono's Parents

Jon and Susan Dunn (Peter in the middle) are my wonderful in-laws whom we all adore. The girls refer to them as Oma and Pompa. Anyway we look forward to Sunday dinners at Oma and Pompa's house and with anywhere between 10 and 17 passionate and intelligent people gathered together, you can always look forward to wonderful and sometimes heated debates and discussion. I am so blessed to have all of Jono's family in my life. They are such great examples to us and we love them dearly.

Granny

I'll give you a brief introduction to the wonderful family that we are blessed to have in our lives. This is my Grandmother whom we call "Granny". She and my Grandfather have always been constants in my life and I just love them so much. My grandfather passed away 2 years ago and although she misses him dearly, she has continued growing and blossoming and is always up for trying new things. I honor her on our blog because she is so important to me and my family. You're the best, Granny!

Our Little Family...

This is our little family. We may be small in number but we are LARGE in noise and stature. Our oldest is Sophie Mae (5 1/2) who just started Kindergarten and our youngest is Audrey Mae (3) who is now getting some time alone with mom. Thank you for your interest in us. We are blessed to have you in our lives!
