July 2009

July has been a crazy busy month for us this year.  It’s almost been busier than last year when we were building our house.  I was really looking forward to just relaxing and not having any set plans.  I’ve had a great month and managed to relax, but I didn’t manage to keep our activities [...]

This & That

The most recent picture of all four of our girlies together.  It was the weekend of Erika’s graduation from EOU.  A spur of the moment picture, but I love it!

My parent’s pond is gorgeous, lush, and full of critters.  They have three different kinds of water lillies, but this one is my favorite.  It is [...]

Our Weekend In Pictures

The members of the TOD Household had a very busy weekend.  We started Thursday with Bear Day/Bear Night at the girls’ school.  Bear Day is for K-2nd graders and Bear Night is for 3rd-4th graders.  The younger kids stayedf after school, participated in different activities, had dinner, and the best part – they got to [...]

When Good Scrapbookers go BAD!

Oh so very bad . . .
I will pre-empt this post with a disclaimer – we are not partiers, we don’t center our lives aroud alcohol, but once in a while we tear it up.  Nothing over the weekend was inappropriate our out of line for Emma Kate who was there with me.  It just [...]

Vegas Vacation

The girls’ trip to Vegas was a ton of fun, and I really enjoyed myself.  Four days is just about my limit to be gone from home, though – I got pretty homesick missing my girlies and The Prince.  I think we walked about 50 miles in all the days we were there, and I [...]

Hi, Friends!

I’m still here – alive and well; just a little crazy busy.  I survived a week in Vegas, and I had a blast.  I am so very glad to be home with my family again.  I have lots of news, happenings, and updates!
For now, I’ll send a smile and a happy thought to start the [...]

Superbowl Fun

Aaron & I had our friends Jason & Yvette, Andrew & Geneva, and their kiddos over for the Superbowl.  We had a great time yelling at the TV, booing the bad calls, and eating entirely too much!
I started making food early in the day, and I ended up making WAY too much!  Then our friends arrived and [...]

Vegas, Baby!

So, remember THIS post, which was all about my friend, Yvette’s birthday?  Turns out the gift her sister got her for her birthday was a trip to Las Vegas.
Can you guess what my gift from Aaron is?

Vegas, baby!

Goliath

We went to the mountains yesterday with the Timpy and Whitbeck families to get Christmas Trees.  We had a total of 14 people (6 adults and 8 kiddos) and one dog, and we had a blast!  It was so nice to spend the morning away from town just relaxing, enjoying good company, and having a grand [...]
