Today my primary class was full with all the kids present. It was a workout. Way more intense than yoga or aerobics. Not as hard as a marathon though I am sure. I never want to find out about that comparison really. We had 8 busy little 4 year olds …

I had a neighbor who is a carpenter make some nightstands for our bedroom last month. They turned out beautiful. After he made them, I got the privilege of staining and finishing them. It took me a a few weeks (I only work on them if I have energy and …

Remember how Isaac had a birthday this month? And how I blogged that he had the coolest party ever? Well, the month has flown by with lots of adventures and I have not even posted pictures of that party. So let’s go back in time to look at them …

One of the little ladies from the party, Krista Anderson (age 10), was put in charge of taking pictures at the baby shower. She did a great job! Here are the pictures. The bad ones I took, the good ones she took. And she doesn’t even know my camera …

I had a request for pictures of the table, so here it is. Enjoy!

I found this table at Goodwill in March of 2008.  It has 5 leaves, 12 chairs, and cost a mere $200. The chairs have really cool details, but purple silk and kids don’t go well …

Micah has been anxiously awaiting the ward camp-out. He has been wanting to go …

I bought a really cool table and chair set at Goodwill last winter for $200. It came with 12 chairs and 5 leaves. It is enormous when all the leaves are in! It seats 6 at it’s smallest. All the chairs have these neat circle details on the backs …

Friday night I did some quick calls and some knocks on doors to invite anyone who was free to come play soccer at our neighborhood park and we had a ton of fun. It ended up being 6 parents versus 12+ kids (the toddlers wandering around don’t count for …

We did a little engineering project this evening. Micah, Isaac, and I used a motor from a gamecube controller to power a Drawbot (Ily took Reece outside so that he wouldn’t get too close to the soldering iron or anything like that). It was pretty fun. The controller broke …

Family comes to visit for a major religious event. So what do we do? Party. And go to home Depot, buy a few supplies, and do some home maintenance stuff.

Some home improvements we have done this week that have needed to be done for a really long while.
