Thinking inside the box



Ryan amazed me that he could fit into this tiny little box. It was pretty funny to see him shove his whole body into it. Of course my camera was slower than he was and I couldn't get him to get back in for a perfect picture, but you get the idea.

Can it be Spring?

Image
The calendar tells us that it's now officially spring. In Utah that usually means about a month more of snow. We've had some pretty weird weather lately. Some days in and of themselves it is sunny, raining, hailing, snowing, and sunny again. However, we know that it is warming up and before we know it we'll have to crank up the Air Conditioner. I'm pretty excited for Summer this year. I'll finally have a break from work and I know it's going to be a LONG one. I plan on taking the kids to the park, organizing things in my home that I haven't touched in months, cleaning my carpets, maybe even doing a garage sale! It should be a good time. I have some pretty big goals for my stay-at-home life this summer but I'd hate to not achieve them so I'll keep them to myself for now. We plan on taking the kids to California this summer and visiting Disneyland for the first time for all of us but me. I'm more excited to take Colin than I am to take the boys. Sh...

Two Dreams

I’ve always been one to plan. I’d call myself a Type-A personality, and so would everyone that knows me. The good thing is I married a man who’s a lot the same in that respect. We’ve always been really good about planning things out and thinking them through in advance. We had our son named before he was even conceived. So in planning our lives together, we always planned for me to be a stay-at-home mother; to raise our children full-time. I've always had two dreams in my heart. I wanted to be a mother, and I also wanted to be a teacher. I’ve wanted to be a teacher since a very young age, except for that stint where I wanted to be an airline attendant. Then there was 9-11 and being a full-time traveler didn’t exactly match up with my other goal of being a mother. On the first day of my freshman year at the University, I declared myself an Elementary Education major. When my grandfather paid for my college education, he really wanted me to pursue something which would give me more m...

Spode Dish Factory

Image
I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...
