"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day"
~William Shakespeare
20 years ago we were seniors in high school, worrying about what to wear to the school dance. (I probably should have worried a little more.)
10 years ago we lived in Lehi.(McKell was 1, Paige was 3) We had just learned we would be moving to Kirksville, Missouri for med. school.

    Yes, time does fly, doesn't it? I love your high school picture. It's fun to see Mike with hair. I had to laugh out loud about your comment about worrying a little more about the dress. I think the exact same thing when I look back at my high school dance pictures! It just cracks me up to think I thought I looked so good.

    Thank you for sharing some of your history with us! It's funny how we meet people at certain times in their lives and we never really think of what they were like before they came into our lives. I think you guys look very cute together..then and now!

    I actually think that was MY dress Nikki, that you borrowed. At least I had one exactly like it... In fact I still wear it, every Sunday. With white hose and white shoes. And tall bangs.

Goodbye 2019

In September we had our high school friend Bo Ross and his wife Jodi come and stay with us for a few days.  They're so down to earth and easy to talk to.  When Brandon and Mike get together they go back into their fun joking bantering mode.  I love seeing Mike let loose a little.  We laughed and talked and ate and to top it all off enjoyed an amazing night of John Mayer together. For Fall Break we rented a beach house in Newport.  The older girls flew in from Provo and we drove with Sydney & Jackson and his friend Devin.  We loved chilling at the beach, listened to some general conference and enjoyed the air show they were putting on right above us.  Jackson and Devin kind of had their own vacation with their friends who were staying down there too so I didn't catch a pic of them. Half of Gilbert comes to Newport for Fall Break so Sydney was in heaven too having her friends there. Jackson accomplished a goal h...

Odds n' Ends of May

Image
After not blogging for a month I have some catching up to do. Here are some photos from the last couple weeks in May. Paige graduated from the 8th grade at Veteran's Memorial Middle School. She's headed to Columbus High School this Fall with her two best friends from school, Berkeley and Bentlie. Birthdays come faster every year, but I can honestly say I don't mind being 38. My life is pretty darn good! I loved the London book Mike got for me. Jackson graduated from 2nd grade. He had a rough year with his teacher and had the hardest time transitioning to Georgia. He is still very loyal to his Washington friends and didn't really click with anyone in his class. Hopefully this next year he will have a better experience. I knew he didn't like his class much when he passed on the ice cream sundaes and told me he just wanted to be checked out early. Paige had her year end dance recital with Columbus Ballet. She performed ballet, contemporary, and jazz numbers. She...

Future Scientist??

Paige is learning all about what it means to actually study and work hard in school this year. She has always been able to get by without having to do much, but her high school Biology class is pushing her to new heights. She finally realized that her teacher is not going to spoon feed her all of the material and that when she reads and knows the info in the text book she does better on the test. She was proud of herself when she got a great score on her midterm. It's so rewarding to see your kids make the connection between real learning versus regurgitating facts. It's also science fair time. ugh... She decided (with her Dad's help) to do a project on why blubber is such a good insulator for marine animals in the antarctic. She has spent a lot of time with her hand in a bowl of ice water the last few days. Amazingly, Crisco really does help insulate your hand from the cold. (One advantage to having some extra blubber around the middle). I'm so glad Mike has tim...
